Those Eyes

Chapter Twenty Three

JEMA

"I didn't knew na yung ex mo pala yung na hire ko sa project" sambit niya while sipping his coffee

I heaved a sigh

Eli's playing with his toys sa kwarto ng office , para na din hindi siya makinig sa amin 

"Ano, masaya ka na kasi nakita mo na ulit siya?" he seriously looked at me 

Teka, bat napunta sakin? Eh hindi ko nga alam na may project siya and mas lalo I didn't hire her

"so, sinisisi mo ako? ganun?" I raised my voice a little 

" Oo, sino pa ba, ha?kasalanan mo to eh" he said

 I scoffed In disbelief, I was about to yell at him when I heard a knock from the door 

Umayos ako ng upo sa swivel chair, Pumasok naman si Engr. De Jesus 

"Yes, Engr. De Jesus?any concerns?"I calmly asked 

" I have a question about your project, Miss Galanza..." I listened to her

I glazed on Jv,and nakita kong masama siyang naka tingin sa amin 

I looked at ella again and listened 

After that talk, nagpa alam na siyang umalis 

"I'll look for another engineer" sambit niya 

"You can't, na sign na yung contract niyo for 1 year remember"sagot ko 

"ano, para magka balikan kayong dalawa?"he said

Ano bang pinag sasabi ng lalaking to?

"What are you talking about, John Vic?You have an agreement with her and besides, the board agrees with it. So the construction will start by next week" I replied 

He smacked my coffee table at inis na umalis ng office 

I was shocked and checked my coffee table, buti nalang at walang crack

I don't get it, why is he mad all of a sudden?

"M-mommy"Elijah softly said at tsaka nilapitan ako

I caressed his face while he's side hugging me 

"are you hungry?"I asked

Tumango naman si Elijah

" Sit on the sofa, I'll order food for you okay?" I said and kissed his forehead

After niya kumain, I checked the time and it's almost 4:30 na pala 

"Baby, may meeting si mommy sa itaas. You stay here,okay? I'll message your daddy para masamahan ka dito okay?" He nodded 

I kissed his forehead muna bago kinuha ang phone ko

" Let's go, netty?" sambit ko 

Tumango naman ang secretary ko at tsaka sabay na pumunta sa top floor, sa conceference room 

After meeting, bumalik na ulit ako sa office

Nadatnan ko ang dalawa, Elijah's sleeping on his chest

I smiled and dahan dahan na lumapit sakanila 

John Vic's sleeping too

They looked so cute together

I took a photo of them and posted it on my Ig story

"bub, baby, wake up na. It's time to go home" I softly said

Napa mulat naman si Jv

"Sorry bub, about kanina" He said 

I smiled and kissed his cheeks

"It's fine bub.Uwi na tayo?"I smiled at him

" I love you, baby" He said and kissed me softly

"I love you too, bub" I smiled and hugged him

Nasa bahay na kami ngayon and I'm currently cooking for our dinner

I felt his hands on my waist

"Ang bango naman bub" He whispered

"Ako ba bub or yung niluluto ko?"I asked

" Of course baby ikaw" He kissed my neck 

I chuckled and kissed his cheeks bago siya pina alis kasi nga im cooking 

ELLA

"Oh, tapos anong kasunod nung pagkikita niyo?"Tanong ni tots 

I drank my 10th bottle of beer

Tama nga si tots,I need to take a little breather from work

"napaka chismoso mo talaga toti marie"sambit ni Michele

Nag kwento kwento lang kami until we've decided to go home

"Ihahatid kita besh, mukhang napa dami yung inom mo"Alyssa said

Tumango nalang ako at tsaka sumakay sa passenger seat

Pag uwi ko, bumungad sakin si Jeyjey

"What happened to tata potpot, tita ly?" rinig kong tanong ni Jeydon kay alyssa

 Hilong hilo na ako 

Bigla naman akong natumba at hindi ko na alam kung ano ang nangyari

Pag gising ko, sobrang sakit ng ulo ko

"Besh, gising ka na pala.Eto gamot inumin mo pampa wala ng sakit sa ulo"Alyssa said at tsaka inabutan ako ng gamot at tubig 

" Bat andito ka?diba dapat umuwi ka na?"naguguluhang tanong ko

"Di kasi naka kain ng dinner sina Jey at tita eh. Kaya ako na nagluto"sagot niya 

shoot nakalimutan ko!

Inuuna kasi yung inom eh, nakalimutan ko tuloy sina mama at Jey

"Nasaan si Jeyjey?" I asked 

"Nasa baba, kumakain ng cereals na may fresh milk" sagot ni Alyssa

 Tumango naman ako at tsaka tumayo

Medyo Hilong hilo pa ako kaya inaalalayan ako ni Alyssa 

"besh, hindi ka pa okay. Higa ka muna, ako na bahala kina tita. Magpahinga ka muna ells"sabi ni Alyssa 

" O-okay lang ako besh. M-may gagawin pa ako sa opisina" I softly replied 

Tuluyan na akong tumayo at tsaka lumabas ng kwarto

 I felt alyssa's presence sa likod ko,baka daw matumba ako

"Jeyjey"Sambit ko 

Hindi naman ako pinansin ni Jeydon

I heaved a sigh, and I felt alyssa's hand on my shoulders, tapping

"Suyuin mo lang besh,nagtatampo lang yan kagabi"Alyssa said

Tumango naman ako at lumapit kay Jeydon

"sorry jeyjey,nakalimutan ko kayo ni mama" I whispered

"Don't do it again tata" sagot niya 

napa tango naman ako at tsaka hinalikan ang noo niya 

" Bati na tayo?" I said 

He looked at alyssa first bago tumango sakin

 Napa ngiti naman ako at niyakap siya 

"Tata i'm eating"maktol niya 

I chuckled and kumawala sa pagka yakap

tinabihan ko naman siya at kumuha din ng bowl para sa cereals 

I invited alyssa to eat with us kaya ni ngitian niya kami ni Jeydon bago kami sinamahan sa hapag kainan
