Chavelle

Nandito kami ngayon sa bahay, packing some clothes because Thaeus wanted us to live in his house. Yes, he already has a house.

“Daddy look! I have doll collections po!”Serenity is so close to his father, kaya naman pala hindi masyadong malapit sa akin.

“Yes baby, it looks so amazing. Wow!” Forrest is smiling while looking at his sister and father. Tinutulungan kong mag impake si Forrest nang bigla siyang yumakap sa akin. “I love you mommy.” Napangiti ako sa sinabi niya.

He’s not expressive but hearing him say this makes me wanna cry. “I love you more, baby.”

Pagkatapos naming mag empake ay ipinasok na namin sa sasakyan ang mga maleta. The maids were sad to see us go pero uuwi pa rin naman kami.

They were shocked too. Kasi palaging daw nilang nakikita sa TV si Thaeus…..but with Cassidy.

Speaking of Cassidy, ano na kayang nangyari sa kanya?

Hindi na ako nagdala ng sasakyan, I want to be with them kahit na hindi pa talaga namin napag usapan ni Thaeus ang tungkol sa amin.

“Babies, that includes you sweetheart, we will be going to our family mansion tomorrow okay? You’ll be meeting your lola!”masayang wika ni Thaeus at agad akong dinapuan ng kaba.

The kids were so excited, nasa passenger’s seat ako habang ang dalawa ay nakaseatbelt sa backseat. They were squirming with what Thaeus said while I was frozen in place.

“A-ayos lang kaya yun?” his hand was in my thigh again.

“Oo naman. Whatever happens, I don’t care.” Ngumiti siya pagkatapos.

Pagkarating namin sa bahay……or mansion, I think this is a mansion yep, namangha ang mga bata. “We will be staying here daddy?!” hindi ko maipagkaila na nakakaramdam na ako ng selos.

Eh kasi naman, bukambibig na ni Serenity si Thaeus. She’s not giving me attention anymore.

Pumasok kami sa loob at mas lalo akong namangha. This mansion is so huge.

We were greeted with a lot of housemaids. Inakyat nila sa taas ang mga gamit at sumunod na kami.

“Do you want to have your own room or we’ll sleep together tonight?” karga ni Thaeus si Serenity habang paakyat kami. Forrest was holding my hand.

“I want to have my own room daddy! But tonight I want to sleep beside you and mommy and Forrest.” Ofcourse what the princess want, the princess get.

“How about you Forrest?”binalingan ng ama si Forrest.

“I want another room po so I can stack my toys and Serenity can’t destroy it.” Serenity stuck out her tongue and we laughed.

Iginaya kami ni Thaeus sa master’s bedroom. It has its own bathroom, a balcony, a tv, ref and one room for his closet.

Masayang tumalon talon si Serenity at Forrest sa malaking kama.

“This is huge.” I said.

“I never thought that I’d have a family with you staying here this soon. Thank you, sweetheart.” He kissed me in my forehead and we both looked at our kids, smiling.

“Do you have pictures of them when they were just a baby?” tumango ako at kinuha ang cellphone, I handed it to him.

It was already midnight nang nakaramdam ako ng uhaw. I saw my two little angels sleeping peacefully pero hindi ko nakita si Thaeus.

Nilagyan ko ng unan na pangbakod ang gilid ng mga bata bago bumangon. I was wearing my pink silk pajamas.

Bumaba ako nang nakarinig ng tunog sa living room at nang tuluyan na akong nakababa, I saw Thaeus intently staring at my phone. I could hear Serenity’s cries.

Lumapit ako sa kanya at tumabi. He had tears in his eyes while watching the video.

Nilingom niya ako at nginitian. “Thank you…..for giving birth to them.” His voice was so husky and sounded so sleepy.

Ngumiti lang ako at humilig sa balikat niya. We watched the videoa together at nakalimutan ko ang uhaw.

Nang natapos ang lahat ng videos, nabigla ako sa pagtayo ni Thaeus at paghila sa akin. He played a melodic song on my phone before snaking his arms around my waist and pulling me closer.

I automatically wrappes my arms around his neck habang nakatitig sa kanya. His eyes was so full of emotions. Longing, love…sadness.

We were swaying to the melodic music, slow dancing and just staring at each other’s eyes.

“Tayo na ba?”I joked at him and he chuckled.

“Yes, sweetheart. And I could, I’d marry you right now just so that you could never escape again.” Ngumiti ako at inihilig ang aking ulo sa kanyang dibdib. His heart was beating so fast.

“I love you…..” I whispered and he froze.

“Damn…..You still had that effect on me sweetheart. I love you more.” Napatawa ako sa kacheesyhan niya.

“Natatakot ako para bukas…..What if your mom doesn’t like the kids? Ayokong ma disappoint sila.” We were still swaying back and forth and enjoying the moment.

“Just trust me sweetheart. And I forgot to tell you, I invited Cassidy. So that this will all stop, once and for all.” Tumango ako habang nakahilig parin ako sa dibdib niya.

And we stayed like that for a while until I felt sleepy.

Kinabukasan ay hindi na mapapantayan ng kahit ano ang kaba ko. We were already dressed up. Serenity looked so cute in her bun and Forrest’s hair was tied into a ponytail.

We are on our way to their family house.

And I just hope this will all turn out well.
