Behind the Secret

Chapter 67: Mommy

Chriss' POV.

Saturday and I decided to spend my time with my Angel. Gusto ko bumawi sa nagawa ko sakanya. Alam ko na nasaktan siya sa treatment na ginawa ko nung dumating si Sherie.

I get my car key at lumabas na ng kwarto. Pababa na ako sa hagdan. Pagbaba ko, I saw Shey playing all of her toys that I bought her.

She's so cute. Nilapitan ko siya to pat her head.

"Good morning baby," bati ko sakanya.

"Good morning daddy!" She said cheerfully. Napansin naman niya na bihis na bihis ako. "Where are you going?" She then asked.

"I'm going to date with your Tita Angel," I said.

"Ah," aniya. Ngumiti na lang ako sakanya. She's so cute. I can't resist her.

"Oh Chriss andyan ka na pala," bati sakin ni Sherie ng makababa na siya sa hagdan.

"Ugh yes. I'm going now," paalam ko.

"Where? Ugh. It doesn't matter. Can you do me favor cous?" She asked.

"What is it?"

"Kailangan ko kasi umalis ngayon. I have something important to do. Alam mo na for her special day. Hindi ko siya pwede isama kasi gusto ko surprise yun sakanya. Eh I'll ask you sana kung pwede mo siya isama sa lakad mo? Ayoko kasi na nag-iisa siya rito sa Mansion niyo. Hindi ako mapalagay eh," she said.

What the hek? "But I only want to spend my time with Angel. Sherie naman. Gusto ko sakanya bumawi," sabi ko.

"Please Chriss. I'm begging you," pagmamakaawa niya.

"Daddy please. Let me go with you and Tita Angel," Shey pleaded as she went on us. Nag-act as a cute pa siya para umepekto sakin. And d*mn! Ume-epekto saakin ang cuteness ng batang ito.

"Fine. Ano pa bang magagawa ko?"

"Yehey!" Pagtatalon naman ni Shey.

I hope Angel will understand this. Psh.

Athena's POV.

At Amusement Park...

Andito kami sa Amusement Park para mag-spend ng time sana with Huggy boo pero nagulat na lang ako nung sunduin niya ako na kasama si Shey.

To be honest, he's worried daw kasi baka hindi ako sumaya ngayong araw. But he was wrong. Mas lalo akong masaya dahil makakasama ko siya. She's so adorable. This is my chance to know her. Naging hate ko kasi ang batang ito nung nangyari nung sa office but nung nalaman ko ang totoo, I start to love this child.

"Upo muna tayo sa mga bench dun," pag-aya ko. Magpapahinga muna kami ng ilang minuto. Kararating lang din namin kasi rito.

I look at Shey. I can see excitement on her. "Is it your first time here?" Tanung ko.

"Ugh. Yes tita kaya please let's ride na po. Pleasee!" Pagmamakaawa niya. She's so cute.

"Alright. Where do you want to ride first?" Tanong ko.

"Kahit ano po ang uunahin natin," sabi niya. What a nice kid? Napa-ngiti ako sa sagot niya.

"Kahit ano? Walang ganun baby Shey," sabi ko at ngumiti sakanya.

Pero napansin ko na may mga luhang umaagos sa mga mata niya. I look at my huggy boo. We are both worried to her.

"Hey. What's wrong?" tanung naman ni huggy boo habang inaalo siya.

"Shey..."

"S-Sorry po kung umiiyak po ako," she said while wiping her tears. "P-Pangarap ko po kasi makapunta sa Amusement Park kasama si Mommy at yung totoo ko pong Daddy. P-pangarap ko po na magkaroon ng isang kumpletong pamilya," sabi niya while sobbing.

I hugged her so tight. I know the feeling of having an incomplete family. Although, I am thankful that I have my mom beside me pero iba pa rin talaga kapag may daddy ka na nag-aalaga sayo. Iba kapag kumpleto at sama-sama ang pamilya.

"Shhhh. Tahan na. I'm here. Okay? I know the feeling, Shey. Malay mo mangyari ang gusto mo, right? Let's be positive. Alright?"

I said and wipe her tears.

"Yes Shey. Your mommy maybe has a reasons kung bakit kayong dalawa lang ang magkasama. But someday you'll have a happy family," Huggy boo said while looking at me.

Seriously? Ano nanaman ang ibig sabihin ng mga tinginan na yan?

"Tama po kayo. Think positive lang. I will enjoy this day na lang. Thank you tita Angel and daddy Chriss," she said cheerfully. I love the fighting spirit of this kid.

"Shall we go?" pag-aya ko sakanila.

She nod for her answer. Tumayo na kami ni Huggy boo at hinawakan namin siya sa magkabilang kamay niya. I am holding Shey's left hand while he's holding Shey's right arm. Belat siya ngayon dahil hindi kami makakapag-holding hands.

"Tch!" Irap niya sakin. Ang hilig talaga mang-irap.

"Let's go?" pag-aya ko.

"Ugh. I have a favor Tita Angel," sabi ni Shey. Umupo naman ako sa harapan niya para makaharap ko siya at maabot na rin.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Can you be my mommy for today? Just for today? Please tita," she plead.

Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya. She want me to pretend as her Mom? Pero... I don't know kung paano pa maging Mommy.

Tumingin ako kay huggy boo pero ang loko naka-ngisi. Gusto yata ang ideya ni Shey.

"But Shey..." sabi ko. I really don't know how.

"Please tita," she beg and show me her cute face. Ugh! Shocks! Na-cucutan talaga ako sa batang ito.

Oh god! Ano pa bang magagawa ko?

Huminga muna ako ng malalim bago ko siya sagutin. "Alright," I said and showed my sweet smile on her.

"Yehey! Mommy Angel! I already have a complete family!" Pagsisisigaw niya.

Pretend Mom for one day? Sana magampanan ko.
