Her Comeback

Chapter 13

JILL'S P.O.V

I glance at the man sitting beside me. He looked extremely gorgeous while driving the car. He took my breath away even doing nothing. The effect he has on me is unbearable.

I can't believe myself that I am attracted to a man who already have his future bride.  Maybe I needed a good spanking to wake myself. I can't believe I am being like a highschool student seeing her crush when in fact, I am already a mother of two.

I secretly took a deep breath. Tiningnan ko nalang ang rearview mirror kung saan nakikita ko ang kambal na abala sa panunuod sa mga tanawin sa labas ng bintana. They are counting the cars that we passed by. Hindi na nila napansin ang gutom dahil nakatuon ang atensyon ng mg ito sa ginagawa.

"Someday I will have my own pink car. Gusto ko yung maraming sparkles! I wan't many many cars! Tapos we'll race cars, kuya." binuka pa nuti ang mga braso para ipakita kung gaano ka karami ang gusto nitong sasakyan.

"Ayah, you'll just waste money. Kahit marami kang cars wala namang pinagkaiba kasi they are all cars. Tumatakbo. Not that they will fly." ani Crown na nababagot na tinapunan ng tingin ang kakambal.

Narinig ko ang mahinang pagtawa ni Tyrone kaya napalingon ako dito. Nakatingin lang ito sa daan but there's a gentle smile on his face. His eyes were also smiling.

"Your kuya is right baby. It would be better if you'll use your money to help other people. Think about it. A car would cost thousands or millions. Sa ganyan kalaking pera marami ka nang matutulungan na tao. It could be those people na nasalanta ng bagyo, nasunugan, or magdodonate ka sa orphanage. Don't you want that?"

"Really po? That sounds fun po!" I saw how her eyes lit up in excitement but it was immediately replaced with sadness. "But I don't have money."

This time malakas na sng naging tawa ni Tyrone. Tiarah eyed him curiously not knowing why he suddenly laughed.

"Baby, helping doesn't require you to have money. Pwedeng ngayon makakatulong by assisting an old woman crossing the road, teach your classmate when he or she doesn't understand something in your lessons or you'll share what you have to others. That's already considered helping. You don't necessarily need money to help others because just doing simple things is already a big help." he lectured my daughter with a gentle voice.

Namangha ako sa mga salitang lumabas mula sa kanyang bibig. I never expected those words to come out from his mouth, because I never thought him as a person who would say those kind of words. Maybe I judged him too much.

Nakakapagtaka na parang sanay na sanay na siya sa mga bata. Maybe mayroon siyang anak kaya sanay na siya.That thought made my throat dry. A part of me was feeling uncomfortable with the thought.

"Oh." namimilog ang mga mata ni Tiarah.

Tyrone parked the car in the valet parking. Tinanggal ko ang aking seatbelt at binalingan ang kambal na nahihirapan sa pagtanggal ng sa kanila. Nang matanggal na ni Crown ang seatbelt niya ay ngumiti siya ng malaki na parang nanalo ng lotto. While Tiarah was still struggling.

Narinig ko ang pagbukas ng pinto sa side ni Tyrone. Binuksan ko na rin ang pinto sa side ko at lumabas. Umikot si Tyrone at binuksan ang pinto sa backseat kung nasaan ang kamabal. Yumuko siya at tinanggal ang seatbelt ni Tiarah.

"There."

Bago pa man makakayo si Tyrone kay Tiarah ay yumapos kaagad ito sa leeg ni Tyrone at lumabitin dito.

"Carry." nakalabing bigkas ni Tiarah.

"Okay baby." natatawa na pinisil ni Tyrone ang pisngi ni Tiarah. Tumingin ito sa loob ng sasakyan. " Let's go, Crown."
