The Fault In Our Stars (WIOS Book 2)

CHAPTER 11

I DIDN'T continue na pumasok sa comfort room.

I don't know what to say to her.

I went back sa office ni Sandro.

"Oh? Tapos ka na agad, ate?"

Vinny said.

"Uh yeah. Let's go back home na Vinny. Umiiyak daw si Maxine."

"Love... are you okay?"

"Uh. Yeah. Of course."

"We'll go ahead, love."

I said.

"Love... wait."

He was trying to tell me something.

"I'll see you at home."

I said then we left.

Nakasalubong naman namin si Ava.

Namamaga yung mga mata niya.

I glared at her.

Nakayuko naman siya.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Napansin naman ni Vinny na namamaga yung mata niya.

"Yes, Sir. Masakit lang ako ulo ko."

Lumabas naman si Sandro and he looked concerned.

I caught him looking at Ava and then he looked at me.

I saw in his eyes the concern.

Hindi ko lang alam kung para kanino.

"Love..."

I turned my back and nauna naman akong umalis palabas.

Vinny followed me.

I immediately wiped my tears.

"Ate, are you okay?"

Vinny asked.

"Yes. Napuwing lang ako."

Bumalik naman kami agad sa bahay.

I took care of my children buong maghapon.

Binigyan ko muna ng rest day yung mga yaya.

Para na din mawala sa isip ko yung nakita ko kanina.

I played with Maxine.

I didn't know she was so smart and witty.

Sander on the other hand is starting to have vision na.

Vinny helped me sa pag-aalaga sa kanila.

"So, nasabi mo na ba kanila Mommy yung totoo?"

"Yes. Pero kay Mom lang. She was supportive."

"Itutuloy mo yung plano mo?"

Nasa playroom kami ni Maxine.

I have Sander in my arm, natutulog while si Maxine uminom ng gatas.

"Yeah. It's more like a daycare center."

He started.

"Pwede iwan ng mga busy mommies and daddies yung mga babies nila sa akin then kukunin nila after work."

Natuwa naman ako sa idea na 'yan.

"You know I can help you with that."

Vinny was enthusiastic.

It was 6pm na.

Napatulog ko na ang mga anak ko and Vinny went home na din.

Nakapagluto na din ako ng adobong manok for Sandro.

Bigla naman siya nagtext na hindi siya makakakain ng dinner dahil may biglaang event siya na pupuntahan.

Napaupo na lang ako sa sala.

Naisipan ko naman na tingnan ang IG account ng Ava na yun.

She's very beautiful.

Maganda ang mukha.

Maganda ang hubog ng katawan.

Maganda manamit.

I looked at myself in the mirror in front of me.

I used to look like her but then I became a mother.

Medyo tumaba ako. Hindi ko din masyado maasikaso magpa-ganda dahil may asawa at anak akong inaalagaan.

May napansin din ako sa mga posts niya.

Bought some silvanas for him. He love it

Akala ko para sa akin yung red roses
Favorite ko pa naman yun

It was a photo of red roses that Sandro gave me.

Someday, I will open my own boutique shop #manifest

Nanlamig naman ang buong katawan ko when I saw her update which she posted just minutes ago.

I know every inch of my husband's body.

And I know that it's him.

Siya ang kasama ni Ava.

I tried calling him but he wasn't answering.

I felt defeated.

Almost 10pm na ng makauwi si Sandro.

He looked tired.

Tinabihan niya ako sa bed.

"Hi, love. I miss you..."

Niyakap niya naman ako ng mahigpit

"so much."

Hindi ko naman mapigilan pero naiiyak ako.

"How was your day?"

I asked him trying to fight back the tears.

"I'm so tired, love."

"But, I miss you."

He hugged me tigher.

Nakapikit siya habang nakayakap sa akin.

I noticed na umilaw naman ang cellphone niya sa side table.

He received a text message.

I tried to looked at it.

It was from Ava.
