Hurts so Good

Selim Warrior

Savi.

Many of you thought that I regret being a mother because at the young age while some of you pitied me for my bad relationship with my twin's father. I'm just here to tell you that you can wait for the right time to make things better. Maybe you just started it wrong but the ending might have a good plot twist waiting for you. Happy Sunday everyone.

I smiled as I re-read the caption of our family picture. The twins are in the middle of me and Deus. We're all looking happy together. Twins are already five years old and both of them are already grade 1 student.

It's been two years since I've stopped being a model and an actress. Ang aga ko daw nag-stop pero noong napagdesisyonan ko na talaga na umalis na ng showbiz lalo na nang mag-tatlong taon ang kambal dahil mas dumami ang nagkaroon ng kuryosidad sa kanila. Their privacy is my priority so I just quit. I don't have any regrets since nagawa ko naman na iyong mga gusto kong gawin noon pa. Nakagawa ako ng movie and that's enough. Naging hand-on na lamang ako sa pagiging ina at sa pagma-manage ng clothing line business ko.

"Mommy!"

Naibaba ko ang cellphone ko at napatingin kay Tori na nakahalukipkip. Nakasuot pa ito ng uniporme galing ng school. Tinaasan ko naman siya ng kilay. Ang taray talaga ng batang ito.

"Why? Nasaan ang kapatid mo?"

"Lev went upstairs while holding his new books with him. Bakit hindi si Daddy ang sumundo sa amin?" Nakasimangot niyang tanong sa akin kaya napailing na lamang ako.

"Princess, you should understand that your parents are both working so we can't have a time to get you in your school always."

Ngumuso naman ito. "Why Dad don't sleep in our house just like other kid's father?"

Here we go again. Bumuntong-hininga ako.

"We're not married."

"Why don't you marry Dad then?" Tila inosenteng tanong niya.

"Ang kulit mo." Sabi ko na lamang sa kaniya at umiling naman siya sa akin.

"Because I want to live with Dad just like Alisa. She's living with Tita Koko and Tito Luxury."

Ginulo ko ang mahaba at paalon-alon nitong buhok. Tori looks like a doll. Magkamukha sila ni Alisa pero singkit lamang ang mata nito na namana niya kay Koko. Bilugan naman ang mata ni Tori at mahaba ang pilikmata katulad ng kay Lev.

"Let your parents decide what we're going to do about that, Tori." Nakangiting sabi ko sa kaniya.

"But you and Dad rarely see each other." Malungkot na sabi niya.

"Rarely? We just had our vacation in Boracay last month and we spend our days together there."

"You rarely talk."

"We call each other everyday."

"You don't sleep together."

"We had slept together because if not, you and Lev aren't here." I sarcastically answered.

"You're not a couple!" She pouted and my eyes widened.

"Where did you learn about that?" Kunot-noong tanong niya.

"Lev."

"Lev?"

"He don't talk too much but he's smart. He knows a lot, Mommy."
