Fell in Love with the President (Book 2)

Chapter 5

Jade's POV

It has been a week since my son was shot. We cancelled our Enchanted Kingdom trip muna. Natatakot ako eh. Pero ang kapalit naman eh yung pagta tantrums ng anak ko. Hay. Mas matindi pa pala yung tantrums nya kesa sa pagbaril sa kanya.

'you promised that when I recovered from what happened, we will go to EK! You promised, mom!' Zayn said

Hinilot ko ang sentido ko at inalis ang tingin sa laptop ko. Nacancel muna yung plano kong resignation. Napag alaman ko from Si na sa akin naka atas ang partnership with their company. My boss asked me to cancel the resignation, wala pa daw silang mahanap na kapalit ko as a Sr. Operations Manager.

Si Bonget naman nasa India to meet the Prime Minister. May kailangan daw silang pag usapan about bilateral ties between Philippines and India. Ayaw pa nga umalis nun eh. Pinilit ko lang. Mas kailangan sya ng taong bayan. Ayoko namang nang dahil sa amin eh may maibato sa kanyang hindi maganda.

'anak, I told you. May trauma pako from what happened. It'll be dangerous for us to go. Im not risking your safety anymore' mahinahon kong sabi sa anak ko

Nagdadabog naman syang lumapit saken. Hindi ako namamalo pero mukhang mapipilitan ako ngayon pag kinulit pa ako ng anak ko.

'liar, liar! Even papa left for India and you really didnt have the plan to spend some time with me!' he shouted

That's it. Iniwan ko ang laptop ko and pinalo ko sya sa kamay. Mahirap nang makalakihan nya yan.

Umiyak naman sya. First time kong mapalo eh. Hindi ko din naman natiis kaya kinarga ko sya at umupo kami sa sofa nitong opisina ko dito sa palasyo.

'son, listen to me. The reason why Ive raised my hand against you is because you called us 'liar'. We were not lying when we said na lalabas tayo. What happened is, nabaril ka sa mall diba? Andun kami ni papa mo with you nung nangyari yun. Natatakot nakong maulit yun. Diba you told me na you're not a baby anymore? I know, you're capable of understanding that. Im sorry, nak' I said as I hug him

He hugged me back while crying. Kasalanan mo din kasi si Zayn eh.

'Im sorry mom. Ill try to be patient and wait for the right time. I love you'

I kissed him tapos inaya ko syang pumunta sa mga kapatid nya. Kaya nagpunta lang kami sa room ng kambal.

I saw Vinny sitting down on a chair while browsing his phone. Natutulog din ang kambal. Tiningnan ko sila and I kissed them both on their foreheads.

'tita, tapos na paperworks mo? What are you doing here?' Vinny asked

'not yet. Sinilip ko lang yung mga bata. Akala ko gising pa. Oh, how's your application for your masters?' I asked him

'Im done filling out the form. Waiting to be accepted na lang. Do you want to eat tita? Im hungry na eh. Ill cook this time. I can see that you're tired na eh' he said

Ngumiti ako saka tumango. Masarap din magluto yang si Vinny. Pinaka favorite ko yung spaghetti with meatballs na niluluto nya.

Pumunta na kaming tatlo sa kusina. Nakalimutan ko pala yung phone sa kwarto, baka tumawag si Bonget. Kaya nagpaalam muna ako kay Vinny.

I went to our room and kinuha ko yung phone. Di nga ako nagkamali. 5 missed calls agad mga mars. Napaka clingy jusko. Hiwalayan koto eh. Chos.

I decided to call him. Baka nagwoworry nato. Mastress pato dun eh. Agad nya namang sinagot.

'what the hell wife?! Bakit ngayon ka lang tumawag?! Kanina pako tumatawag, God! Abut abot na ang nerbyos ko dito!' sigaw nya sa kabilang linya

Nailayo ko naman sa tenga ko yung phone. Aray ha? Ang lakas ng sigaw ng lalaking to.
