Our Twisted Story [Book 2]

Chapter 10

[ERLIYAH MAE SANTOS]

It's been two days since the last time I saw Charlie and I swear this is killing me. Hindi niya ako kinakausap, tinetext niya lang ako paminsan. Ni hindi nga siya nagpupunta dito sa condo, kahit dati naman ay araw araw siyang nagpupunta. Today is Sunday, we're supposed to attend the mass early this morning but he said he has something to do. I get it, it's my fault. Pero ang daya naman niya. Parang isang beses ko lang naman iyong nagawa, di ko naman sinasadya.

I looked at Ethan, he's very fond of the fruit he's eating. "When will Kuya Zywon visit us? Will Kuya Zywon give us fruits again? It's so yummy, Mommy." he asked as he munches the orange. Yeah right, Zywon visited me yesterday. Di ko nga alam kung paano niya nalaman na nandito ako nakatira eh. Pinuntahan niya ako kasi akala niya may sakit ako, nagdala pa nga siya ng basket of fruits. Dahil binigyan niya ng prutas si Ethan, ayan hinahanap na siya. Tsk.

"I don't know baby. Nagw'work kasi si Kuya Zywon mo eh. But I'll tell him that you miss him." I said.

"Eh Mommy, when is Daddy coming ba? I miss him." Ethan said while pouting.

I hugged him, "I don't know. I miss him too, so bad. Kaso, galit ata sa akin si Daddy mo eh." sabi ko.

"Bakit po kayo nag-aaway? Mommy, say sorry na to Daddy para pumunta na po ulit siya dito sa bahay." sabi niya.

Tumango ako, "Sige, later, pupuntahan ko si Daddy mo." sabi ko.

"Bring back my Daddy, please?" and he pouted. Kyaaaah! Ang cute niya talaga! Tumango na lang ako.

Maybe it's about time na kausapin ko na siya. I called Peter, ang sabi niya kasisimula lang ng board meeting ni Charlie, probably after 3 hours pa siya free. Tinawagan ko rin si Peach para bantayan niya si Ethan ngayon. Sana lang pumunta siya. I took a bath, pagkatapos kong maligo ay saktong dating naman ni Peach. I thanked her dahil pumunta siya kahit dapat ay day off niya.

Lumabas na ako ng building. Just then, naalala kong day-off rin pala ni Manong ngayon. I could use my car kaso pag nalaman ni Charlie yun ay baka pagalitan niya ako. I have no choice kundi mag'taxi. Siguro dapat mag'install na ako ng Grab or Uber para naman kapag may biglaang lakad ako ay hindi na ako mahihirapan.

A motorcycle stopped in front of me, nung una ay hindi ko pinansin but the rider took his helmet off. Napaawang na lang ang labi ko.

"K-Kristofer?" I blurted out.

He smirked, "I like that amazed face. I think my new hairstyle looks good on me, right?" I nodded. He looks dashing. He got his hair color changed. Dati blonde siya, ngayon it's brownish red and he even got his hair cut. Mukha siyang disente, I mean he looks decent before but now he looks a little more mature. I'm sure Peach will definitely smile from ear to ear kapag nakita niya ito ngayon.
