Officially Yours ( Book 2 )

Chapter 21

Deanna.

It's almost 9 when we reached the house of Jema. We got the pancakes na pansuhol kay Chelsea.

Siempre, idea ko yun na bumili para good shot ako kay baby Chelsea, haha.

And of course, I  want to gain her attention and trust na rin.  Dapat slowly but surely, patience and time ang kailangan ko para ma-achieved yun.

In the case of Chelsea kasi, si Jema lang naman ang kilala nyang parent.  At the age of 3,  mahirap kunin ang loob ng mga ganyang age dahil masyado pa silang attached sa parents nila or yaya or teacher.  Sila kasi ang lagi nilang kasama at nakakausap.

Teacher?  Oh, that's why she's really fond of her teacher, hmp.  Nainis akong bigla ng maalala yung teacher Veni?  Vanguard?  Whatever her name is, dapat na bakuran si love sa isang yun.  I can see that she likes Jema a lot.

Dapat pala naming pag usapan ni Jema yung tungkol sa teacher ni Chelsea.   But that can wait.  Baka magalit si love sakin eh.  We're just starting our relationship pa naman.

I have to do something so I can be closer to both Jema and Chelsea.  Bili na rin kaya ako ng house na malapit dito sa kanila? 

Correct, tutal wala pa naman akong napagdesisyunan kung saan titira.

Ah basta, I'll just have to show Jema how much I love them. 

Alam ko kayang kaya nyang palakihin si Chelsea mag isa pero mas maganda kung may katuwang sya to do it.   Two is better than one, di ba. 

Kaya I'm hoping,  sana makasama ako sa buhay nilang dalawa.

"Halika na, baby." sabi ni Jema kaya pumasok na kami.

Malaki ang bahay niya, maganda ito pati yung location.  Safe ang area, lalo na nga at may bata silang kasama bukod sa puro sila babae dito.

I looked at the garden sa harap.  May space na pwedeng lagyan ng swimming pool.  Sa may side naman pwedeng lagyan ng barbeque grills.  Meron ding space for playground for Chelsea and her friends kung may imbitahan sya dito.

Then dagdagan mo ng mga chairs and tables,  perfect na to have a party. Sakto pag may mga special occasions na gagawin.

I was surprised with myself, inayos ko na ang bahay ni Jema sa isip ko.  

Eh, magiging bahay ko na rin ito.

Wahhh, walang masama kung advance lang talaga ako mag-isip.

We walked inside holding each others hand.

"Baby Chelsea... I'm home." Jema called.

Lumabas naman sya agad from the kitchen area ata pero biglang nag hesitant lumapit kay Jema pagkakita sa akin.

"Are you not going to give mummy a kiss?" Jema asked.

"Mummy!" she said and came running towards her.

I let go of Jema's hand. They hugged and gave each other a kiss.

"I miss you, Mummy!  Where did you sleep last night?" she asked.

Jema explained to her what happened sa wedding.  Chelsea is nodding her head.  Nakikinig lang ako sa kanila.

Then Chelsea suddenly blurted out.

"What's that on your neck?  It looks familiar, Mummy." she innocently asked, referring to the bite.

Omg, yung face ni Jema parang tinuka ng ahas, hahaha.

Patay na!  Andami na agad tanong ng anak namin.

As in anak ninyo na talaga?

Napatingin naman ako kay Jema na nalilito at nag-iisip pa ng isasagot.  She stared at me too, parang nagpapasaklolo.
