Yula
"Yula!!" the gal's shouted in unison.
They missed me that much eh?
"Well, hello there bitches!" I waved.
Hinila ko ang bagahe at sinalubong sila. Over acting bitches tsk.
"How's Philippines?" Kina asked.
"I didn't have that much good experience but . . . yeah, it was nice," I shrugged.
"Well, meet my brother's y'all. Zion and Xian Tussana. The Tussana boys."
The bitches greeted them with a wide smile on their faces, except for Courtney who was busy with her phone, as usual. Workaholic sexy bitch.
"Courtney," tawag ko dito.
Saka pa lamang ito nagtaas ng tingin at nagtanong kung bakit.
"Oh, hi. I'm Courtney, Yula's friend. Nice to meet you." so formal tsk.
"Nice meeting you too, Binibini," Kuya Xian winked.
Urgh! Typical playboy. Ang sarap hampasin ng plywood. Nakakadiri.
"Where's my Deon?" I asked.
"He's with his Nanny Yva, let's go?" Jeth answered.
"Yeah sure. Kayo Kuya? Sasama pa ba kayo or you'll go back?" baling ko sa dalawa.
Kuya Xian snorted.
"Halatang ayaw mong nandito kami. You're hurting my heart, Sis, ouch!" he acted.
I gived him a deadful look. Over reacting ang bruho.
"Oo. Ayoko na nandito ka. Kuya Zion's fine here, go back to the Philippines Kuya Xian, I don't like you here," taboy ko.
Of course. It's a joke. And I will slap him hard if he won't get my joke. I'm dead serious though.
"Bro, I can't. I'm dying," he said touching Kuya Zion's shoulders.
"Don't touch me idiot. I don't know you. Let's go, Yula," Kuya carried my bagages and left Kuya Xian dumbfounded.
I stuck my tounge out at him and smirked. Naiwan siyang lugong-lugo doon.
"Is he alright? Parang pasan-pasan niya ang buong mundo ah, he look shit," kumento ni Nath.
" 'Wag mo na pansinin 'yon, Thalia. Come on, I owe you all a shopping."
"Shopping tayo tomorrow, or the next day. My treat," pahabol ko.
"Yass! Susulitin ko na talaga 'to. Minsan lang 'to!" Rialie shouted.
"Y'all acting like your a hobo. Ang yayaman niyo nga, ang bu-buraot naman," I winced.
"I'm saving for my future," Jeth raised.
Saving for future tsk. This bitches here, they're born with a golden spoon on their mouths. To make it clear, they're born Millionaire's. Their parents' money is truly enough for their whole life needs without work. They may act like a freaking hobo's, hindi sila basta-basta when it comes to money.
"Saving for future my ass."
We reached my house in no time. With Kuya Xian with us. Nagpaalam na rin 'yong mga babae dahil may kanya-kanya daw itong gagawin.
Even though they're filty rich, they still work their asses off to gain more and more and more money. That's how their life cycle is.
Well, we've been friend for like five years? Yeah sort of.
"Where's my handsome nephew?" Kuya Xian asked while stepping out of the car.
I consort. Napaka-excited. I wonder how Mamà handled this hurricane. Mahangin siya, as always. Palaging pinupuri ang sarili. God! He just can't get enough of himself.
"Try walking towards the main door and knock you shithead," sarkastikong ani ni Kuya Zion.
He's a total bobo and uto-uto.
Nauna akong maglakad sa kanila at nag-doorbell. The gate of my house is waist level only, and it's painted with white paint. Noon palang pangarap ko ng magkaroon ng bahay na may gate na hanggang bewang lang, kaya 'eto ang resulta. I made it.
The main door opened and Yaya Yva stepped out of the house, walking towards the gate with Deon on her hands.
"Mommy!" he chirped when his vision spotted me.
My smile widened and my heart warmed.
My little Knoxx Gideon.
Agad ko itong niyakap nang mabuksan ang gate at pinugpog ito ng halik sa mukha.
"Did you miss Mommy? Hm? Mommy missed you so much! I would never ever leave my baby again."
He giggled and cupped my face with his small cute hands.
"I  midd you, Mommy."
Aww. Ang anak ko. Bulol pa ito konti magsalita, but it's just the 's' part. Midd means miss, and I miss him too.
"Really?"
"Hm! Hm! Hindi ako padaway . . . Naynay Yva. You will make palo me kapag ako padaway po," he mumbled.
I laughed and hugged him. No words can express how much I missed my son.
"Let's go inside? I want you to meet someone," I smiled.
"Who Mommy? Who? Id it Daddy?"
I nodded.
"Yes. It's Daddy!"
Pumasok kami sa loob at sumunod naman si Kuya Xian at Kuya Zion na kasalukuyang tahimik lang habang nagmamasid.
"Baby, this is Daddy Zion and Daddy Xian. Daddy Zion, Daddy Xian, this is baby Knoxx Gideon. How old are you baby?" pakilala ko.
"I'm two po!" he raised his cute little hands.
"You look . . . dashing," ani Kuya Xian.
"Yed po. Becaude Mommy id beautiful. But Mommy, they're not my Dad, aren't they? I can't have two Daddy, right Mommy ko? Right?" usisa niya.
Okay, I give up.
"Hm yes. But sila muna ang Daddy mo for the mean time okay?"
"Okay po. Daddy, play!" nagpumilit itong bumaba kaya no choice ako, nilapag ko ito at nagtatakbo naman agad ito papunta kay Kuya Xian.
I frustratedly sat on the couch and heaved a sigh.
"You can't fool your son," napalingon ako kay Kuya.
Nakakunot ang makapal nitong kilay. That's one of his best assets that attracts girls. Kaso walang oras sa lovelife kaya ito, nag-iisa. Just kidding.
"Yeah, he was born smart," iling ko at napangiti.
He chuckled and sat next to me.
"How did you manage it? Taking care of him alone?" he asked, focus on Kuya Xian and Deon.
"I was not alone. I have my friends, I have you and Kuya Xian, and most of all, I have Mamà and Papà. Hindi niyo nga lang alam, and once again, I'm so sorry for that. I was just scared."
"You've been through hell for the past years, and here I am, being a shit and not doing anything."
"Kuya, you've done a lot for me, sobra-sobra pa nga eh. But still, I failed you for not trusting," I felt ashamed of myself.
He's my brother. I should've trusted him, right? Pero pinangunahan ako ng kaba. They've been friends with Axel and Deus. Heck! They're even friends with Arez Kimberly! And I thought of, once I told Kuya about Knoxx, he might mention him to Deus. Then Deus would run to me again, and then I'll be in hell . . . again.
Alam kong kasiyahan ng anak ko ang makilala ang Daddy niya. Hindi ko 'yon kino-kontra. Ang sa'kin lang, natatakot ako. What if he gets rejected? Paano kung ayaw sa kaniya ni Deus? Paano kung itaboy niya ito? I don't want my son to feel rejected. I love him more than anyone. He's my life now. I live for him aside from my family and friends.
I'm scared.
"Let's stop thinking about it now. Let's focus on the future, your son's future. Kudos to you Yula, you toughly raised your son alone," Kuya showed a small smile and patted my head.
"I told you, I'm not alone."
"Daddy Zion! Carry me! Carry! Daddy monster will eat me! No!! Carry! Carry!" my son climbed on Kuya Zion's lap and burried his face on Kuya's chest.
Tinuturo niya si Kuya Xian na nakasuot ng monster mascot.
Kuya Zion stilled for a second, but later on stood up and carried Deon.
"Where is that Daddy monster? Daddy Zion will defeat it," he asked.
They look cute. Aww. I've never thought of this day to come.
"There! Defeat it Daddy. He will eat me!" Deon chirped.
Nanatili akong naka-upo at nakangiting pinagmamasdan sila.
I love this scenario. I'll love this even more if Mamà and Papà plays with Knoxx Gideon.
"Don't worry baby, Daddy will skin that monster alive. And I'm serious," he smirked.
"Zion! It's just a play! Don't you dare!" sigaw ni Kuya Xian.
The whole living room was filled with laughs and screams caused by yours truly, the Tussana brothers.
