Chapter Thirty-Three: Love

Zacchary's Point of View:

Dala ang puting bulaklak, puting rosas na paborito niya, mabibigat ang hakbang kong naglakad papunta sa kanyang puntod. Binalikan ko lahat ng masasayang alaala namin dahilan para umagos sa mga mata ko ang luha.

"Thank you, Vina." Binging bulong ko. "Tatlong taon ka ng wala pero hindi parin kapani-paniwala. Hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan ang ginawa mo para sa asawa ko. Divina, forgive me for everything."

"Daddy." My nine-year old daughter called me. "Baby Devine keeps crying and dad, please talk to Zac. He's so annoying." Sumbong niya.

Tsk. Ang dalawang 'to. Mula nang mawalay sila sa mommy nila, hindi na matigil sa pag-aaway. Napailing na lamang ako at sumunod kay Chance. Chances, please come back.

"Hey, why are you two always fighting over petty things?" I scolded them when we reached the car.

"Daddy, for the record, I am only defending myself." Chance answered, glaring at her brother. "That other Zachary Harrison there is the one who always fires up arguments. Duh. He always complicates little things."

"The two of you, kung hindi kayo titigil sa pag-aaway, isusumbong ko kayo sa mommy niyo."

"When is she going home ba kasi?" Naiiritang tanong ni Chance.

"That, dad." Zac finally spoke up. "That's exactly why we argue. I'm just trying to make her understand that mom's abroad because it's important which clearly is something her tiny brain cannot absorb."

"You didn't say that, you birdbrain!" Chance snapped back.

"Aba! Talagang mag-aaway pa kayo ngayon sa mismong harapan ko?"

"Sorry dad." Zac humbled down while my daughter kept on glaring.

Napangiti ako pero itinago ko 'yon mula sa kanila. Naiintindihan ko naman e. I get it, my son is always the understanding little man. He still got that fifty-year-old man inside his nine-year-old body. On the other hand, my princess is just like me. Namimiss ang mommy niya kahit na dalawang araw palang itong nakaalis. Take note. Chances might be staying there for over a week, depending on how long it'll take to finish her business there. Ugh, miss na miss ko na siya.

"Daddy." Devine uttered and smiled at me so adorably.

I saw in the rearview mirror her older sister smiling at her.

"You are always the mood-fixer, Dev. Come to ate, cutieeee." Chance sweetly talked to our three year old bunso. Nakangiti itong lumapit at yumakap sa ate niya. "Do you miss mommy too? I miss her so much already baby." Aniya pa.

"Daddy misses mom too. And if the two of you are not going to fight for the rest of the day, we might fly to see her." I told them which widened their eyes.

"You can't be serious, dad." Chance excitedly muffled.

"Tsk. What is not serious for you anyway?" Zac interjected which usually makes his sister annoyed at him.

"Ugh. Fine, I quit. I'm not fighting with you because I want to see mom. Whatever, loser."

Napailing na lamang ako sa tinuran ng mga anak ko. On the rearview mirror, I saw Devine winking at me. This kidddddoooo! Napakakulit.

Maingay ang silid nang magising ako. Nagpapanic sila. Ano ba'ng nangyayari?

"Chances, kailangan ka naming dalhin sa delivery room!"  Wait, that's Nana's voice. "Manganganak ka na!"
