Veiled Diaries #2: Mask of The Blues

MOTB 46

#MOTB46

Rekta did what he said, those weeks of the month was really mesmerizing. I can't really understand why it feels so different, Rekta and I have been best friends before our relationship way back and it seems like we're on that state again but I know what he's up to while doing this now.

Sumampa si Jace sa kandungan ni Rekta, kinuha niya ang bowl ng cereals sa lamesita at doon nagpasyang kumain. Rekta gave him the jar of fresh milk, nagkatinginan sila at tila may usapan na sa pamamagitan noon.

"You ready?" Rekta asked.

"I am!" Jace answered like a warrior while flexing his muscle.

Ngumuso si Rekta at nagpigil ng ngisi, he pressed something on the remote and a Netflix movie started playing on the wide flat screen. Nag-umpisa ring kumain ng cereals si Jace habang nasa flat screen ang mga mata, Rekta leaned his back and rested his arms on his both sides while watching. It was an action movie and I don't know if it's a good vision for Jace, baka maging mapanakit ang anak ko!

"Jace, don't ever copy the moves of the characters there." I warned softly as I pass by.

Jace just nodded quickly while Rekta's eyes watched me simply. I'm only wearing my comfortable velvet pajamas and cotton sleeveless blouse, my hair was up in a towel. I just went out from the shower and it's already past eight! Kagigising lang ni Jace kaya hyper na naman sa pagyaya kay Rekta na manood ng movie.

"That's cool, Mama! Why don't you like it?"

"You'll probably get some actions there and do to your playmate, that's not right." umiling ako at iniwasan ng tingin si Rekta.

He chuckled. "Right, Jace. Listen to Mama."

"Is she youw Mama, too? Why you calling hew Mama? That's not wight, I thought she's sweethawt!"

"Jace!" I termed sternly but sounds still soft.

Humalakhak si Rekta at pinanggigilan si Jace. He giggled adorably and looked at the movie again, napangiwi ako at umiling. Rekta was grinning simply.

Our days and nights together continue to pass by smoothly, si Rekta ang madalas kasama ni Jace kahit sa paglabas ng bahay. Every morning, he was taking him out to jog around and Jace was so fond to know Rekta's routine! Hindi ko alam kung bakit naaawa ako kay Jace kapag nagkukuwento siya tungkol doon.

"If Daddy Ventuwi didn't pass away, we will always exercise with Papa Tantin!"

I smiled at him, tumingala siya sa akin at yumakap sa leeg ko. Marahan kong hinaplos ang buhok niya, his shiny hair is until shoulder now and he looks like a girl because of that but his daily outfit can tell that he isn't. Hindi ko alam kung kailan siya pagugupitan, hindi naman siya nagrereklamo na long hair siya. Tinitrim din iyon pero sa magkabilang gilid lang kaya pag tinatali ay mas lalong gumagandang tingnan kay Jace iyon.

"Yes, baby. Your Dad is also a good man and funny." I chuckled remembering Venturi's foolishness.

"You miss him?"

"Of course but I let him go for peace now."

He pouted and nodded, yumakap siya lalo sa akin at humikab na.

"I'm a bit sad that I didn't get to see him but I undewstand, he can't be with us anymow. I love you, Mama." he murmured sleepily.

"We'll visit him in Spain someday." I assured him. "Mama loves you more."

He nods while burying his face on my neck, hikab na siya nang hikab at siguradong antok na. Nanahimik ako at marahang hinaplos-haplos ang kanyang likuran, sanay siya roon at mas lalong himbing.
