Mamahalin Kita ng Malayo

CHAPTER 72

Anthony's POV
It's weekend and today I'm having business trip. Isasama ko na din si Ava dahil didiretso kami sa Italy for some sort of bonding nang kaming dalawa lang. We always do this kasi at least once a year while my only princess will stay at Lizzy's house. Actually pinahatid ko na siya kay Manong coz I don't have time para ihatid pa siya.

While fixing my polo someone hug me from the back. I can see her reflection towards the mirror so I faced her and kissed her forehead.

Ava: Hon?

Anthony: Hmm?

Ava: What if isama nalang natin si Bella papuntang Italy?

Anthony: Why? (Confuse)

Ava: Eh nakaka-guilty kasi (sigh) Mag-eenjoy tayo tapos yung anak natin hindi?

Anthony: Our princess will enjoy at Lizzy's place, hon. Don't worry about her, okay? Besides as if naman ngayon lang natin siya iiwan.

Ava: Well, you have a point but still—

Anthony: Ava, wag mo munang isipin ang anak natin, okay? Tayong dalawa muna, hon (then raised his left brow playfully)

Ava smirked as response so I smile and hug her tight. To be honest, I can't wait to spend time with her again. Kung pwede nga lang hindi ko na daluhan yung business trip, gagawin ko eh so that I could spend more time with my wife. Turo kasi 'to sa akin ni Dad bago palang ako magpropose kay Ava. Sinabihan na niya akong "Always find time to be with your wife kahit gaano ka pa ka-busy, Anthony. Wag mo siyang babalewalain, alagaan mo siya. Treat her the way a woman should be treated, son."

We're fully prepared. Nasa sasakyan na din ang mga suitcase namin and now the only thing to do is magpaalam. I knocked at Mom and Dad's room pero walang sumasagot so we immediately head to the study room.

As I open the door, I saw mom looking from the window while si Dad naman nakaupo sa swivel chair niya. I don't know but I suddenly felt something is going on. Something isn't right so I speak up which made them shock.

Anthony: Mom? Dad?

Edward: Y-you guys are still here pala (then remove his reading glass)

Ava: Mom, are you okay?

Maddison: Y-yah. Of course I am (then faced Anthony and Ava)

Anthony: Umiyak ka ba mommy?

Maddison: No, son (then shook her head)

Edward: Actually yes (then laugh)

Mom gave Dad a confuse look and that made me laugh. Hay, Dad talaga palagi nalang binubuking si Mom eh so I let go of my wife's hand and walk towards my mom.

Anthony: Bakit mom?

Edward: Eh paano masyadong affected sa mga issue ng client niya kaya ayan, nagda-drama na naman (then laugh)

Anthony: Ganon? Mommy naman!

Ava: Mom wag ka ng malungkot. Don't worry bibilhan ka namin ng fav champagne mo (then wink)

Maddison: Di na kailangan, ang mahalaga you guys should enjoy, okay? Tsaka umuwi kayo dito ng ligtas at maayos, undertood?

Ava and I simply nodded as response. After a second, Dad change the topic. Sa totoo lang nakakapagtaka coz he keep on smiling eh hindi naman siya palangiti HAHAHA Baka nga good mood talaga. Siguro may napanalo na naman siyang kaso kaya masaya.
