CHAPTER 32

As promised, Mikhs will take Kyler today at the mall. Ito na rin ang chance para makapag bonding ang mag tito dahil ngayon lang nila magagawa ito.

Its past lunch nang mahatid ni Mia si Kyler sa condo ng kapatid. Binilinan niya ito ng mga kailangan gawin at binigay ang black bag kay Mikhs na nag lalaman ng mga gamit ni Kyler.

Mikhs and Kyler is at the car now. Mikhs made sure na maayos ang seatbelt ni Kyler bago sila umalis. He finds Kyler cute sitting at the passenger side habang nanonood ito sa ipad.

"You ready Baby Kai?" Mikhs said. He gave Kyler the nickname Kai dahil he finds it cool.

"Yes daddy." Kyler replied with a very cute smile on his face.

Mikhs finally drove off at nang makarating sila sa parkingan ng mall nakita niya namang madami na nga ang mga nag papark dito. He roamed around the parking area looking for a spot when he finally found a spot.

As he starts to park his car a white Toyota camry came out of nowhere. Luckily for Mikhs he was able to stepped on the brake. He let out a long beep indicating his frustration.

Hindi manlang nag sorry ito sa kanya at dumiretso nalang.

"Daddy what happened?" natatakot na tanong ni Kyler dito.

"Nothing baby. There's just a bad driver. Don't worry we're okay?" Mikhs said.

When he finally parked his car properly he immediately got out of his car at pinagbuksan ng pinto si Kyler. He carried his nephew at binaba naman ito as soon as they reached the entrance of the mall.

This day is all about them. He took Kyler to the arcade first at nag laro muna sila doon, he's letting Kyler play wherever he wants at masaya niya lang itong tinititigan.

He's wondering kung ano kaya ang mangyayari kung nabuhay si Maloi at ang anak nito.

After the arcade, he took Kyler to the play area and stayed there for an hour para makapag enjoy pa ang huli.

"Daddy when will we buy dino po?" kyler said while pouting.

"Do you want to buy now? Then we'll go grab an ice after?" Mikhs said habang sinusuot ang sapatos ng pamangkin.

"Can we buy ice cream first daddy?" Kyler said habang nag papacute kay Mikhs.

"You're such a cutie buti nalang mana ka sa akin." Mikhs said then shook his head.

Tulad ng napag-usapan. Mikhs and Kyler went to the ice cream store para mabilhan ng ice cream si Kyler.

After buying an ice cream they decided to go to the toy store. Dala ng excitement, Mikhs was unable to control Kyler. Kumalas si Kyler sa pagkakahawak kay Mikhs at tumakbo papunta sa toy store.

Kyler is so happy looking at different toys in front of him. Mikhs followed him at hindi niya hinayaang mawala sa paningin niya ang pamangkin.

While Kyler is choosing a toy, Mikhs received a phone call from someone. Napakunot naman ang noo nito nang makitang unknown number ang tumatawag.

He answered the call dahil baka importante ito, "Hello?" Mikhs said as he answered the call.

"Hello good afternoon, is this Mr. Mikhael Lim?" a guy from the other end said.

"Yes speaking. Who is this?" Mikhs answered.

"Good hijo. This is your ninong Marshal." Marshal replied happily.

"Uy Ninong napatawag po kayo?" Mikhs replied.

"Ayun nga hijo buti nalang at nabigay ng daddy mo ang numero mo. I would like to ask if you're free tomorrow? I would like to invite you to lunch sana." Marshal said.

          

"Yes tito I am free. Wala pa naman po akong work as of the moment." Mikhs said.

"Good, I would like to meet you para sana makapag meeting tayo. I would like to offer you a job sa company namin. I would like to talk things out with you baka sakaling maligawan kita para mag manage ng isa sa mga agency ko." Marshal said.

Hindi naman maipinta ang mukha ni Mikhs sa tuwa dahil sa narinig na balita. He didn't hesitate at all.

"Sure ninong. I'll meet you up tomorrow just send me the deets at puupunta nalang ho ako." Mikhs said.

"Sige hijo salamat. I'll see you tomorrow." Marshal replied.

"See you nong." Mikhs said while smiling and turned off the call. Nawala ang focus nito sa pamangkin at nang pag lingon niya....

"KYLER?!!!" Mikhs said in panic nang makita niyang wala na sa tabi niya ang pamangkin.

"Holy shit..." Mikhs said as he roam around the store looking for a kid.

Hindi naman na mapakali si Mikhs dahil kahit saang parte ng store ay hindi niya makita ang pamangkin nito.

"Miss excuse me may nakita ba kayong batang naka kulay blue? Lalaki? May dalang ice cream?" Mikhs said in panic as he approached a saleslady.

"Nako sir wala po eh." The lady replied.

"Oh Lord.. KYLER!" Mikhs shouted hoping that Kyler would hear him.

Kyler is already outside the store and is now crying dahil hindi niya makita ang Uncle niya. He's crying in the midst of the crowd holding his melted ice cream.

"Daddy!!" Kyler shouted as he cried.

"Bata. Are you lost? Ayos ka lang ba?" a lady approached him.

"I want my daddy!" Kyler said as he continue crying. The lady that just approached him also panics as the kid cries louder.

"Come with me I'll help you find your dad." The lady said and held Kyler's hand.

Kyler is crying habang nag lalakad kasama ang babaeng naka white shirt tucked in sa grey slacks pants nito.

Mikhs on the other hand came running and there he saw Kyler walking with a lady.

"KAI!!" Mikhs shouted.

Agad naman siyang narinig ni Kyler at agad namang napalingon ang bata dito.

"DADDY!!!!!" Kyler said, the lady let go of the kid's hand at hinayaan niya itong tumakbo sa lalaking tumawag sakanya.

"Where have you been? I told you not to go anywhere without me" Mikhs said as he hugged Kyler. The lady followed Kyler to make sure na tatay nga niya ito.

Mikhs stood up and was about to face the woman who helped Kyler nang bigla naman itong napahinto.

"M-Mikhs?" taka at utal na tanong ng babae.

"A-aiah?" gulat na tanong ni Mikhs dito.

"W-what..? h-how?" Aiah said in shock.

"What are you doing here?" Mikhs said at halata na gulat pa din ito.

"I-I'm about to meet Staks and JR. i-ikaw? Kailan ka pa bumalik? Anak mo?" sunod sunod na tanong ni Aiah.

Mikhs is frozen hindi niya alam kung bakit ganoon ang nararamdaman niya. He can't explain what he's feeling right now, hindi niya alam kung matutuwa siya na nakita niya si Aiah o iiwas dahil hindi pa siya handang humarap sa mga ito.

"I uh—ano—" natigilan naman si Mikhs nang biglang may isa pang taong iniiwasan niya ang sumulpot at may kasama ito.

"Aiah!" Gian shouted from behind.
