Kill Me, Archer (Alonso Brothers Series 1)

Chapter 16

"Mommy, is daddy not home yet?"

I smiled. Kinuha ko ang bag mula sa kaniya. Kagagaling lang namin sa kaniyang school. Ngayon lang ako nagkaroon ng panahon na sunduin siya. Usually, Hunter would always pick him up.

"Mamaya pa uuwi ang daddy mo, Archie," sumbat ko.

Though, he can only speak english, I'm glad that he still undertand Filipino language.

He nodded innocently. Sinamahan ko siya sa bathroom upang maligo. He was so makulit habang pinapaliguan ko siya.

Hindi naman ganito kakulit ang tatay niya.

"Mommy, you should let me learn to wash myself. I'm already 7 years old po," the little kid smiled innocently.

Humalakhak ako. I'm glad my son didn't took after me. He's smart at such a young age.

Pagkatapos ko siyang paliguan ay nagpresenta siyang siya na ang magbibihis sa sarili niya.

Hinayaan ko na lamang siya sa kung anong gusto niya.

Saktong matapos siyang magbihis ay dumating na ang daddy Hunter niya.

"Daddy!" Maligaya niyang sinalubong ang daddy Hunter niya.

Hunter smiled and carried the little boy in his arms.

"Archangel, what do you want to eat?" he asked softly.

Archie put his little finger at his jaw, pretending to think. "Fish po," he replied.

Just as what Archie requested, Hunter cooked fish for our dinner. Halos isang oras kami sa lamesa dahil ang daming dada ng anak ko. He was so talkative!

"Daddy, daddy!" he called out his dad again for the forth time.

"Yes?" Hunter patiently paid him attention.

"When will I get to meet my daddy?" he asked which made me stop from eating.

Hindi man lang natinag si Hunter. Nang bata pa lamang siya ay hindi na namin inilihim kung sino ang tunay niyang ama. He's too smart that he figured it out already when he saw our engagement picture.

"Huh?" Hunter pretended not to know. "But I'm your daddy," humalakhak siya.

Bumusangot ang anak ko. "No! I said my daddy Archer," he said.

Hanggang ngayon, nasasaktan pa rin ako sa tuwing naririnig ko ang pangalan niya. I can't help but to be curious if he's doing well now.

Did he became a doctor?

Sa tuwing susubukang magkuwento si Hunter sa akin tungkol sa kalagayan ni Archer ay pinipigilan ko siya. Ayokong makarinig ng balita mula sa kaniya. Baka hindi ko mapigilan ang sariling bumalik sa Pilipinas.

Pero heto kami ngayon, nag-iimpake papunta sa Pilipinas.

Hunter and I agreed to go back to Philippines. I think it's already time to introduce Archie to his real dad.

Ayoko namang ipagkait sa bata ang karapatang makilala ang kaniyang tunay na ama.

I just don't know kung anong magiging reaksiyon ni Archer. I told him before that Hunter's the father of my child. Hindi ko alam kung maniniwala kaya siya.

Archie was quiet the whole flight. Marahil ay sobra siyang excited kaya hindi na siya makapagdada.

A day before, sinabi ko na kina mommy na uuwi kami para hindi sila masurprise. She was so excited kaya pati rin ako ay naeexcite.

Tulog na si Archie nang makarating kami sa Pilipinas. We were already outside our mansion. Hunter was carrying the sleeping Archie habang hawak hawak ko ang dalawang maleta.
