CHAPTER 42

DERECK

I LOOKED AT HER, deeply. Tumikhim siya at umiwas ng tingin. Why are you avoiding my gaze, Brie? Did I make your legs tremble?

“Can we talk?” I asked. Umawang ang labi niya at tumikhim ulit.

“We are already talking.” I arched my brow. I smirked. Keep teasing me, baby.

“In private.” Lumipat ang tingin ko sa labi niya. I licked my lips. Limang taon ko rin hindi nahalikan ang labi niya. I wonder, is her lips still taste good?

I saw her sighed. Bumaling ito sa anak namin. “Baby, akyat ka muna sa room mo, ha? I'm just going to talk to your dad.”

Your dad. Damn. Bakit ang sarap pakinggan kapag galing kay Brie?

“Yes, mommy! Bye, addy!” Lumapit ito sakin ay yumakap.

“Bye, baby.” I won't forget this day. Ang araw na nakita ko ang anak ko na limang taon kong hindi nakita.

“Are you still here tomorrow, addy? I am not dreaming, right?” I pinched his cheek. So cute.

“Yes, baby, I'm still here tomorrow and you're not dreaming. I will make it up to you. Now, go to your room.” Ngumiti ito sakin kaya nakita ko na naman ang maliliit nitong ngipin.

“Byebye!” Tumakbo ito palapit kay Brie at nagpaalam bago tumakbo paakyat.

Now. Just the two of us.

“Sa garden na lang tayo.” Sinundan ko siya papunta sa garden.

Full of rose. White rose. Hindi ko alam na puting rosas pala ang gusto niya. May nakita din akong sampaguita. Bumaling naman ang tingin ko sa babaeng kaharap ko ngayon.

Damn. Gusto ko siyang yakapin, but I know it's wrong. Wait, paano magiging mali? She's the mother of my child. There's nothing wrong with it.

“You've changed.” Pagbabasag ko sa katahimikan. Hindi kasi siya nagsasalita dahil mukhang hindi niya alam ang sasabihin.

“Talaga?” Hindi siya makatingin sakin.

“You're different now.” I saw her licked her lips. Is she tempting me?

“Hindi naman.”

“How are you?” Tipid siyang ngumiti at tumingin sakin.

“Mas maayos na ang buhay ko ngayon.” I clenched my jaw.

“Kesa noong nasa akin ka pa?” Shit! Bakit ko ba tinanong pa 'yon? Hindi siya nakasagot. “I'm sorry. I shouldn't asked you about that.” Pagbawi ko. Now, I felt awkward.

“Ayos lang.” Natahimik ulit kami.

“How was your giving birth? Sobrang nasaktan ka ba?” Ang sabi sakin niommy mas masakit daw ang labor kesa sa nanganganak ka na.

I saw her gulped. “Masakit syempre pero gusto ko pa rin ilabas siya ng maayos.” I know that she will be a good mom.

“Thank you... For giving him my surname.” That's big deal for me.

“Maliit na bagay lang 'yon kumpara sa kasayahang binigay mo sakin noong nalaman kong buntis ako at nang makita at mahawakan ko siya.” I smiled bitterly. I wish I was there. Taking care of them. Especially Brie. Alam kong nahirapan talaga siya.

“Sana naging masaya rin ako katulad mo. Sana nakita ko rin ang anak natin na lumalaki.” She bit her lip.

“Hindi mo kailangang manghinayang, Dereck. Sa future, magkakaron ka pa ng ibang anak na makikita mo kung paano lumaki—”
