Again
"Love?" Kagigising ko lang at wala na si Sky sa tabi ko.
I was going down the stairs while looking around. Madaling araw na rin kasi kami nakatulog kagabi kaya tinanghali ako ng gising.
"Kiel? Kendra?" My forehead creased when my children were nowhere to be found too.
"Sky" Wala pa ring sumasagot.
"Merry Christmas, Mama!" I jolted when the three important people in my life screamed in unison.
"Aatakihin ako sa inyo!" I pouted and welcomed them on my open arms.
Nag-unahan silang tatlo sa pagyakap sa akin kaya tawang-tawa ako.
Yes, sinalubong namin ang pasko kaya madaling araw na kami nakatulog.
"I love you, ma" My big boy, Kiel Luther kissed my forehead.
He's 19 now. Kasing laki na niya ang papa niya.
"I love you more, kuya." I kissed his cheeks.
Hindi siya clingy sa lahat, sa akin lang siya ganito. Sobra ang improvement niya kaya masayang masaya kami ni Sky. May pagkakataon pa rin na nauutal siya lalo na kapag natatakot o kabado siya.
His condition affected him so much, he doesn't like crowded places at ayaw niya ring makihalubilo sa iba. Homeschool lang siya dahil ayaw niya talagang makipagkaibigan. He only has one friend, his best friend—Prince.
"Kuya! My turn!" Kendra stomped her feet.
Kiel smiled and gave way to his sister. My daughter shrieked and hugged my waist. She's not tall nor small. Sakto lang ang height niya sa kanyang age. Mabuti nga at hindi niya nakuha Ang height ko lahat kasi baka maging pandak din siya kagaya ko.
"Mama! Merry Christmas, I love you!" My sweet potato beamed. Unlike his brother, opposite ang traits nilang dalawa.
Super ingay at masiyahin nitong bunso namin. Siya ang nagbibigay liwanag sa bahay.
"Merry Christmas, baby. I love you, more." I kissed her cheeks and she giggled.
Tumingin ako sa mga suot nila at nakaporma na silang tatlo.
"Where are you going?" Tanong ko sa kanila.
"Take a shower na mama! We have a date!" Kendra was pushing me to the bathroom when we heard a loud throat clearing.
"My turn." I pouted when Sky frowned.
"Kendra, help your Kuya on the Kitchen." Utos niya sa anak.
"Okie, papa!" She sprint without looking at me.
"Merry Christmas, love." I can't stop but laugh when I saw him holding two Yakult.
"I love you." I tiptoed and kissed his lips before accepting our favorite drink.
"I love you, Estella" he enveloped me on his arms and kissed my head repeatedly.
"Kain muna tayo bago natin inumin 'to." Nakangiting sabi ko sa kanya at pinakita ang Yakult.
"The kids already ate. Gutom na raw kasi sila. Let's go eat bago ka mag-ayos." He held my hand and intertwined it with his fingers.
Hanggang ngayon kinikilig pa rin ako sa mga galawan niya.
We ate happily. Pagkatapos kumain ay naligo na ako at nag-ayos. Binilisan ko na lang dahil inip na sigurado ang tatlo kong kasama dahil kanina pa sila nakaayos.
"Done na, love?" Sumilip si Sky sa may pinto ng aming silid kaya masaya akong tumango at kinuha ang bag ko. He immediately pulled my hand.
"Let's go." Kendra chirped at nauna pa siyang sumakay sa sasakyan.
