"Jim, may I call Jian? " Jia asked.
The child had not been away from her ever since. It's only the second day of being away but she already missed him so badly.
"Why not? " Jim replied. If he had been open - minded before, why not now when they are already married. He then excused himself to go to the bathroom.
She picked up her phone and tapped a name. The one on the other line accepted her call. "Jia..."
"Ton..." She hesitated for a moment before she got the courage to go ahead. "How's our son? "
Our son...
Anthon did not answer right away. He was dazzled and hurt for a moment by her declaration. These were the most intimate and sweetest words from her so far. If only...
"He misses you...as much as I do." He finally replied.
Jia got tounge - tied for a while.
"Ton...may I talk to him? "
"Let us talk first."
Jia's heart raced. Damn him. Jim would surely notice her awkward reaction.
"Ton..." She could not go through. She knew he was still hurting. It was not easy to heal after all. It may even take years. "How is he? "
"How are you? " He ignored her question, making it more awkward.
"Ton, please..." She pleaded a straightforward update.
"Won't I have the honor to talk to you first? After all, don't a deserted lover and father deserved a reward for taking care of a son whose mom who married someone else is out for the honeymoon?" It was the first time that he sounded cruel in her ears.
"Ton, you knew that it is your own will to take care of him while we are away..." She put an emphasis on it, had he forgotten. She could not, in her right mind, bear the guilt of hurting him that way.
Her thoughts went back to that morning before they decided to leave from Cebu. They were having breakfast with kuya Nap.
"Kuya, we would be leaving this afternoon for an out -of - town trip. "
Jia informed him.
"Leave Jian to me. Enjoy the time to be alone with each other." Kuya Nap suggested. It's their honeymoon and he understood their need.
"But you are busy..." She tried to argue.
"I can delegate." He was firm.
He then turn to Jian. "Baby, stay with uncle, alright? Your parents will be out on a date for a while. We will go to the beach, we will play computer games, we will go to the park.... " He narrated everything possible to attract a child.
Jian stared at him with a confused look. Kuya Nap laughed.
"It's like this, baby. Your mom and dad will go somewhere far away to spend time with each other so that they could make more babies and so that you can have a little sister or a little brother." Kuya Nap explained enthusiastically, amused by his own statement.
Jian stared at him. "Do they need to go far and leave me to make babies?"
"Oh, my bunny! Help..." Kuya Nap laughed and so Jim and Jia.
The next moment, kuya Nap's eyes sparked when he suddenly thought of an idea. "Ah, baby It's like this. They need to be away because we will also have a date with daddy Anthon. " Kuya Nap looked deeply into Jian's eyes.
"Daddy Anthon? "Jian's eyes lit up as well. He remembered the fun he had when they were also on a date previously.
"Yes, daddy Anthon. "
Jia's eyes rolled. She could not allow it. She knew very well that it would be an insult on his part. This brilliant lawyer could sometimes be brainless!
Jim just laughed, enjoying his moment listening to his brother's bribery. But before she could speak, kuya Nap had already called Anthon.
"Engr. Rodriguez, can we put work aside for a while first? "He said while giving Jia a wink.
"Atty., what do you mean? " Anthon was surprised. Atty. Guevarra was someone he knew as a hardworking man.
" I want to have a date with you. " He answered plainly.
"What? " Before he could add another question, kuya Nap's laughter broke his eardrum.
"Jian and I will go out on a date and we are inviting you to be with us. You know, the newly - weds want to torture me." He explained more while still laughing. He seemed to have forgotten who Anthon was in Jia's heart.
"Kuya, no... " Jia interrupted.
" Atty, I would like to ask a favor to ask them to leave Jian to me. I wish to spend a longer time with my
son. "
"Really? " Kuya Nap was dumbfounded.
"Atty, please put your speaker on. "
"Alright. Here..." He then pressed his phone into a loudspeaker mode.
"Jia, please consider it as my gift for both of you. Please give me a longer time with my son. And please, ask Jim for me. "
Jia looked at Jim. Later on, Jim nodded.
"Okay. "
"Will pick him up later." Anthon closed their conversation.
Kuya Nap was all smiles as he shook his head. The problem was easily solved with the martyrdom of another man. He just got over with the suffocation from his own brother's martyrdom, and now, here came another man. How could Jia be so lucky?
Jim and Jia hurriedly went home to pack up.With the help of Ate Nita, everything was set smoothly and fast.
On the other hand, their travel iteneraries were arranged by an agency in White Rose Hotel where they stayed. Jim chose Palawan adventure.
Few hours later, Anthon's car pulled out in front of the couple's house. Jian was bouncing with excitement while Jia was crying. These two men of her life needed time. Jim needed her and Anthon needed his son.
Jim opened the door for Anthon while Jia was hugging her son a thousand times. She was already blowing her nose in too much crying. Just the thought of him being away, made her missed him so much already.
After a long while, she released him. Jim took turn in hugging and kissing him before Jian leaped into Anthon's arm.
"Enjoy, mom and dad! " Jian yelled while clinging on to Anthon's neck.
"Enjoy, as well, my love. " Jia answered. Then she turned to Anthon.
"Ton, please call me if he will cry. Call me if he will feel unwell. His vitamins is on the pocket. There's also a small can of milk inside. His jacket.... his socks.. his sleeping.."
Anthon smiled. "Enough of your litany. My ears are breaking already!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Jim, may I call Jian? " Jia asked.
The child had not been away from her ever since. It's only the second day of being away but she already missed him so badly.
