"I wove you, Diddy." Kaagad nanlambot ang puso ni Gideon nang marinig iyon mula sa bata at mas hinigpitan pa ang yakap dito.
Parang gusto niyang suntukin ang pinsan kapag nakita ito dahil sa naging epekto ng bawat galaw nito sa bata.
"I love you more, my Shyenaugh. Can I be your daddy forever? I will love you with all my heart."
Inihilig ni Shyenaugh ang kaniyang ulo sa dibdib ni Gideon dahil sa naging tugon nito.
"You'we my diddy. And I'm youw baby Shyenaugh fowever, Diddy..."
"Meow." Kaagad silang napatingin sa likuran nang biglang tumunog ang tatlong pusang gising na pala.
--
Mabilis na inihakbang ni Shyenaugh ang kaniyang maliliit na mga paa patungo sa kung saan ang kwarto ni Declan.
Gustuhin mang tulungan ni Gideon ang bata sa pag-akyat ng hagdan ngunit mas pinili ng bata na mag-isa itong hahanapin ang kaniyang Diddy Dicky sa loob ng bahay.
And knowing Gideon, he'd prefer teaching Shyenaugh to be independent than to always seek for anyone's help.
"Diddy..." turan ni Shyenaugh gamit ang kaniyang mahina at maliit na boses.
She even tiptoed her feet as if she had been playing with her Diddy since she finds the silent atmosphere so challenging.
Nang marating ng bata ang entrada ng kwarto ni Declan, halos hirap na hirap itong itulak ang pinto papasok dahil masyado itong malaki.
But Shyenaugh pushed it with all her might, using her small pinkish palm and tightly closed eyes, for the door was three times her weight.
Gideon, on the other hand, is just following her from afar, pero wala itong balak na tulungan ang bata.
Fortunately, the door wasn't locked, and when she finally opened it ajar, she quickly squeezed through the small gap she had made.
The room is so quiet, and Shyenaugh felt sad due to it since she doesn't like the vibe.
"Diddy, Shyenaugh's here," turan niya habang inilibot ang tingin sa buong lugar.
She's just one year old, but her mind feels like maturing twice her age.
Akmang ihahakbang muli ni Shyenaugh ang kaniyang mga paa papunta sa kabilang bahagi ng kama nang bigla siyang natalisod at nadapa dahil sa isang bagay sa kaniyang paanan.
She grimaced and mumbled, 'ouchie' before she stood up. Bahagya pa siyang napahikbi dahil sa sakit ng kaniyang tuhod ngunit mas nanaig ang kagustuhan niyang makita ang kaniyang Daddy.
Her small feet instantly motioned again. Ni-hindi niya na tiningnan kung ano ang tumalisod sa kaniya.
"D-Diddy..." She mumbled once again as she saw her Diddy Dicky lying with his head on the other side of the bed, tears falling from his eyes.
Nakapikit ang binata habang hawak ang isang bote ng alak.
Nang pasadahan ni Shyenaugh ng tingin ang buong lugar, napansin niyang sobrang gulo ito. Stuffs were scattered everywhere that she started to feel nervous and sad.
She's so young to understand this kind of situation, but she knew something is wrong dahil sa pagkakaalam ng bata, ayaw na ayaw ng Daddy Declan niya ang makalat.
Her tears began to pool in her eyes, and she instantly ran to her Daddy to give him a tight hug.
Shyenaugh felt like he badly needed it.
Nang maramdaman ni Declan ang maliliit na brasong pumalibot sa kaniyang katawan ay kaagad niyang iminulat ang kaniyang mga mata. Only to witness how his beloved daughter stare at him with sadness and pain in her teary eyes.
