TPS: Axel de Ayala [BXB]

TPS: Chapter 46

"Sometimes the couple that are meant to be, are the ones who go through everything that is meant to tear them apart, and come out even stronger than they were before." Mom added.

"Thank you, Mom."

Mom smiled at me and caressed my face. "Anything for your happiness, darling." and with that I stood up and hugged Mom tightly. I'm so thankful that she's here with me.

The next day I called Daddy to inform him that I'll be coming back over in a few days. He was shocked at first but he said that he already expected this. Mabuti na rin daw dahil sa wakas magkakasama na kami after 5 years of being away with each other.

"Are you coming back because of him, son?" Tanong sa akin ni Daddy na hindi ko kaagad na sagot. "It's okay, your Mom and I always got your back. So, whatever makes you happy you have to go for it." He added.

"I will, Daddy." I replied.

Alam kong kasalanan ko ang lahat kung hindi lang sana ako umalis maayos sana naman ni Axel ang lahat. But will we ever find peace just like I have right now? Gusto ko ng tahimik na buhay, kasama ang mga mahal and I can't live and keep dealing peaple for what is right and what is not.

I don't wanna play tug of war with them, that's why I let go first. Sometimes there are things that are worth fighting for more than your own happiness. And if I didn't let go that time, I feel like walang magbabago sa buhay ko. Sa buhay ni Axel if ever there's something good happen to him, that is because we both let go and choose what we think is right.

And if there's still the smallest chance for us I will go and grab for it. Wala namang masama na umasa hindi ba?

Nandito ako ngayon sa playground malapit sa bahay. Naglakad lakad lang ako at iniisip ang gagawin kapag nasa Pinas na ako. I tried searching last night all about him but it seems like he took down everything. Even a single detail about him I couldn't get. Did he shut down his life from everyone? I hope not.

Maybe he chose to live privately, together with his family? I don't know. Habang naglalakad ako a small boy bumped into me. He's sobbing.

"H-hey, are you alright?" Nag-alala na tanong ko sa bata. He raised his head and I was more shocked by what he did to me. Bigla niya akong inamba ng yakap.

"Dada." Umiiyak na niya tawag sa akin.

I smiled as I let him hug me. Binuhat ko siya habang mahigpit pa rin siyang nakayakap sa akin. Umupo kami sa bakanteng upuan dito sa parke as I let him calm on my shoulder.

"It's okay, darling." I said habang hinahaplos ko ang kanyang likuran. Nang tumahan na siya ay nag-angat naman siya ng tingin sa kain and apologize for crying over my shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I thought you were my Dada. You just look like him." Inosente at mahinang saad niya sa akin. Ginulo ang buhok niya.

"Your Dada must be handsome then?" Pabiko kong sabi.

Mabilis naman siyang tumango sa akin. "He is! Though I haven't seen him. I'm sure his handsome just like what papa told me."

Papa?

Ah, this kid's parents must be a gay couple. Well, he's lucky. "Why?" Tanong ko. I just want to know the story of his parents, sounds interesting for me.

"Papa hurts my Dada that's why Dada left him. The other day, yesterday and today, Papa told he'll bring back Dada but until now, I see no Dada. Papa kept on lying to me. I'm sure Dada doesn't love him anymore." Naluluha niyang sambit sa akin. This kid must love his Dada so much kahit na hindi pa niya ito nakikita.

"Wanna know a secret?"

Malungkot siyang tumango sa akin.

"You know, when you have more patience and perseverance and If you want to see your Dada, then you must pray because good kids always get what they want." I told him as I touched the tip of his nose and gave him a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Good guy. I have to go back, Papa might be so worried right now since I left without his permission."

I nodded at him. "Do you want me to keep you company?"

Umiling siya sa akin. "No, It's just a few blocks away from here. I promise to take care of myself. Thank youuu." He said and waved at me. Tumakbo naman siya paalis.

What a smart and mature kid. He talks like an adult when just around 5 or 6 years old?

He's parents must be so lucky to have him.
