Dealing with Mr. Scared of What? (Quadro Series #1)

Chapter 90

"Aunty Mommy!'

Agad naman niya minulat ang mga mata niya ng marinig niya ang matinis na boses ni Eli. Doon niya nakita ang dalawang bata ba naka-upo sa gilid ng kama niya. She smile and was about to sit down when she felt a pang of pain. She wince as she lay still on the bed. Ouch, that was not good.

Naalarma naman sina Eli. She smile gesturing she's okay pero mukhang hindi naniniwala ang dalawa. She chuckle as she slowly sit down on the bed, the blanket falling down on her lap. That's when she realized she is wearing Kyx's shirt. Sobrang laki non, hanggang sa ilalim ng tuhod ang haba non.

"Aunty Mommy, are you sick?" Eli ask, almost crying. "Sorry for waking you but I really want to eat sinigang. Sorry, po." Tuluyan na ito umiyak kasabay ng pagyakap nito sakaniya. Agad naman lumambot ang puso niya kasabay ng pagyakap niya dito pabalik. "Sorry, po. Sleep kana po ulit, Uncle Daddy is making pancake and bacon." Eli is still sobbing.

"It's okay sweety — Oh, hello." She look at Loren and Lorenzo just peeking inside the room. Agad niyang hinalikan ang ulo ni Eli at Eiji bago hinarap ang mga bata na nakatingin lang sakanila, ang mata at mga daliri na nakahawak sa hamba ng pinto ang nakikita niya. Parang nahihiya ang dalawa. "Why don't you come in?" She peered at them flashing a friendly smile. "Let's watch some Disney movies."

Both of the children withdraw their heads for a moment before peeking again. Ilang segundo pa bago tuluyan nag-lakad ang dalawa papalalapit sakaniya. "Ano gusto niyong panuorin?"

Loren wS the first one who climb on the bed, agad niyang hinaplos ang ulo nito. "Do you want to see your Mommy?" Both of the children look so tired, parang hindi ito nakatulog ng maayos maliban doon mukhang sobrang lungkot nilang dalawa. Lorenzo climb on the bed before peering at her with expectant eyes pero hindi ito nagsalita. "I'll take you to your Mommy later but you can't stay with her."

"We know, Mama," Loren remark. "Mommy said, Daddy and his wife will take care of us as soon as we meet." She felt her heart was about to explode seeing Loren pouting and eyes watering. "Mommy is sick like Lorenzo but unlike him, Mommy is dying, she already told us."

Agad naman nanlaki ang mata niya, doon niya naalala ang sinabi ni Angel. Lorenzo leukemia is heritage. Doon siya napatingin kay Lorenzo na sobrang putla nito. What bother her is what Loren said. She just smile before hugging them who cling to her. She chuckle when Eli and Eiji join them, doon na sila nagkakulitan. She just quietly watches them playing but she also notices how gentle the 3 of them are to Lorenzo.

He look so frail, parang babasagin crystal ito. Akmang tatayo siya ng makitang ang pinto niyang paunti-unti bumubukas. Doon niya nakita si Kyx na tumingin sa loob. Ingat na ingat ito na para bang ayaw nitong gumawa ng ingay pero ng makita siya nito na naka-upo at gising. Agad nito binuksan ang pinto habang mahaba ang nguso nito, bagsak din ang balikat nito.

She chuckle seeing Kyx walk towards her like a little child who lose a game. Umupo ito sa tabi niya kasabay ng paghawak sa kamay niya bago hinalikan ang noo niya. He hug her waist kissing her neck.

"Morning mahal." He whisper. "Are you okay? Do you want anything? Are you hurting somewhere?"

She whine. "My legs are sore. I don't think I can walk for the next few hours."

Hindi niya masyado naramdaman ang sakit anina pero ngayon ramdam na ramdam na niya. She felt so sore and tired now. Worry immediately coated Kyx's eyes before kissing her cheeks and hugging her tightly. "I'll take care of you Mahal. Don't worry."
