“ARE YOU SURE?” Tanong ni Mark.
They stood side-by-side as they watched the kids finish a tagging game
“Yes, I’ll be bringing them on Friday.”
Napa-iling naman si Mark kay Matt.
“And I thought you wanted to do this the old-fashioned way. What did you say again?”
“Shut up.”
Hindi naman nagpatinag si Mark. “I recall you saying you don’t want her to think you are just after the twins.”
“She did not accept my proposal.”
“Marriage proposal?”

Catching Mr. Wilson Chapter 26
Matt just sealed Gabby’s lips with his. Ayaw niyang marinig ang mga susunod pang mga sasabihin nito.He let her lips go after a while. Hindi rin siya makapagsalita. He grabbed Gabby’s head and placed it on his chest. Niyakap niya ito nang mas mahigpit.Hindi niya kayang itanggi. She was right when she said he was happy to see her pregnant pictures and he looked forward to it. It was selfish but he felt a bit of disappointment. He forced to concentrate on Gabby though. She must be a hundred times more devastated kesa sa kanya.“That’s why I had them through IVF. I knew mahirap na akong magkaanak if I delayed it. I wanted to have kids, Matt.” Gabby gripped Matt’s shirt.“I grew up with so many children my ag

Matt tried to hide his smile, inilang hakbang lang nito ang pagitan nila ni Gabby."Matt," naiinis na si Gabby. "Hindi ako nagbibiro"Mas lalo pang lumapad ang ngiti ni Matt. He warmed his hand by rubbing it together and cupped her face."How long have you practiced that?" he asked, smiling."Practiced what?" Gabby swallowed. She licked her lips which had started to dry. She could feel the blood drain from her face."You're white as a sheet.""Matt hindi ako nagbibiro.""As you said."He moved his hand toward her chest over the wil

“Miss me,” was the message from Matt that she received as the van rolled off.She looked back at nakita niya itong hinahatid pa ng tingin ang van na sinasakyan niya. Matt looked even more handsome and her heart flipped thinking he was hers.Matt looked down on his phone as if expecting a reply.“I miss you already,” mabilis na tinipa ni Gabby ang reply. Hindi na sya nag-isip pa. If she stopped and thought what to reply to him, baka wala siyang mai-send na sagot.She saw him smile. Dali-dali siyang umayos ng upo. Her cheeks, rosy.

“Miss G,” agaw ni Judith sa atensyon ni Gabby.Bumabyahe na sila papunta sa isa pang mall for their next schedule. Nilingon niya ito and reached for the tablet that she was handing over. “The list of questions for the interview later,” paliwanag ni Judith. Gabby sighed. Just another of the things na hindi naman napag-usapan and dropped on their lap at the last minute. She went over the questions and they were pretty standard - what inspired her to write the book? There were some questions about how and when she started writing. She forced a smile at Judith and continued to review the rest of the questions. “We have informed them that we will not take any personal questions,” patuloy na paliwanag nito. Gabby nodded. A personal request she has made for all her interviews. Ayaw niyang matanong about her personal life. She always protected the privacy of the twins even when she never really got in trouble. Abala naman si Bel sa paghahanda ng isusuot niya. “You’re going to change i

Tumayo si Gabby at umakyat sa maliit na entablado pagkarinig sa pangalan niya. The main stars already occupied the center seats.Joel was also called after her and they occupied the farthest seats from the center.The light directed at them was blinding and hot but she maintained her composure and smiled even when most of the questions ay nakasentro lang naman sa mga main stars. Mabilis na sinulyapan niya ang coffee shop sa taas but she cannot get a glimpse of Matt and the twins dahil sa malakas na ilaw. Nahagip naman ng paningin niya si Judith na nakasimangot na sa isang gilid. The interview was not going well, at parang ginawa lang silang palamuti para kay Liza but she kept her grace and smiled when a joke was cracked, clapped her hands as well when needed. “Miss G,” Gabby was almost surprised by the abrupt attention given to her. She widened her smile to the interviewer. The questions were as prepared. All her answers were light-hearted, something na patok for a general audie

Inihatid muna ni Matt and mag-iina niya to a restaurant at the second level of the hotel and excused himself.“I’ll be back.” anito. Gabby watched as Matt kissed the twins. She looked around. It was peak hours and all tables were full. “It’s okay, My.”Hindi na namalayan ni Gabby na lumapit pa pala sa kanya si Matt. He was fully aware of Gabby’s worry. He softly kissed her pink lips. “I’ll be back,” ulit nito and left. Matt’s footsteps were sure. He took one of the private elevators to the basement. The elevator opened not to parking area but to the security rooms below. There were rows of rooms pero walang pagdadalwang isip at siguro ang tumbok ng mga paa ni Matt. A lock clicked as he approached a door hudyat na nagbukas iyon. He pushed it open. “Hey,” maiksing bati ni Nico, saglit lang na nilingon siya. Hinarap nito ulit ang lalaking nakagaposas sa isang bakal na upuan sa gitna ng kwarto. Nandoon din si Daniel na nasa isang sulok lang. “Matt, anong ibig sabihin nito?” hala

Pagkagising niya kinaumagahan ay wala na sa higaan si Matt. They still spent the night on the same bed with the twins between them. Bumangon na rin siya. She fixed the blanket to cover the two kids. Inaayos niya na ang mga gamit nila in a luggage. “Mommy, are we going home?” Inaantok ang boses na tanong ni Chico. “Yes. Mommy is okay now so we can go home.” Saglit niyang nilingon si Chico and he had his thinking look on. “Ayaw mo ba?” Kinusot niya ang buhok nito pagkatapos. Kinuha nito ang ilang mga shirts pa na nasa baba lang at inilapit sa kanya. “Will daddy come home with us?” Gabby put her hands over her heart and acted hurt, “You don't like mommy anymore?” balik-tanong niya kay Chico. It’s always her strategy to take their mind away from what they were asking, not answering their questions directly; but it was proving a little more difficult, especially with Chico. “I like Daddy.” “I’m not going anywhere,” Matt answered from the doorway. Napangiti naman agad si

THREE DAYS AWAY from his family felt like months. Even with the nightly calls, he missed them terribly. His plane just landed at Sangley airport and he got a call right away. “Have you just landed?” Nico did not bother with greetings anymore. “Yes.” “You need to be in Terminal 2. I have a team waiting outside but I don’t think you will make the flight. I’ve arranged a chopper to get you to the airport.” “Wait.” Matt calmed himself. Saglit na inilayo ang cellphone sa tenga at binuksan ang mga messages na noon pa lang pumapasok. He picked Gabby's message among several SMS messages na pumasok. Sorry hindi na kita nahintay. We will be back. “F*ck!” Matt cursed under his breath. “When is their flight?” tanong ni Matt to Nico sa kabilang linya. “12:40” Matt looked at his wristwatch and it was only an hour away. He definitely won't make it if he tried to travel via car. “The chopper will be there in 10 minutes. We are asking clearance to land at NAIA helipad”
