Avery's Divorced Parents
Please Subscribe to read the full chapter

Kuminang ang mga mata ni Winter sa nakita. Hindi niya first time makapasok sa isang high-end restaurant pero medyo matagal na rin ang huli dahil masyado siyang na-busy sa trabaho at pag-aalaga ng bata. 

 

Sinundan niya ang staff na nag le-lead sa kanya papunta sa kanilang reserved table. 

 

After niya makaupo ay nagpasalamat siya sa staff. Inikot niya ang paningin sa paligid and she really loves the restaurant’s interior. 

 

May touches ito ng white, gold and black. Nag complement din ang dim na ilaw nito. Mellow na tunog ng piano ang bumabalot sa buong lugar. Napaka elegante.

 

Buti na lang ay sinuot niya ang red dress niyang off-shoulder na above the knee. Her ginger hair flowed freely. 

 

Habang naghihintay sa kanyang asawa, she reminisced the past two years with Karina and their source of joy– their lovely daughter.

 

They moved fast pero hindi iyon problema because this is what they want. Hindi man ideal sa ibang tao pero sa kanila, it is. Ang bumuo ng pamilya ng maaga. A family that they can call their own. 

 

There’s no emotional reason about it pero siguro, diba yung ibang tao gusto muna mag explore sa career or whatever before silang mag settle? Well, the both of them wanted to explore together. 

 

Ikasal, gumawa ng pamilya, and now pwede na sila mag explore. Nang sama-sama.

 

And their first year as a married couple is a dream come true. 

 

Now, this is their second year celebrating the bond they sealed two years ago. 

 

It’s special kasi nung first year sa bahay lang sila nag celebrate. Honestly, it doesn’t matter kung saan. But Avery was barely a year old that time, it’s harder to do things on their own. Lalo na’t hands on parents sila. 

 

Enough with the drama. Hindi niya kakalimutan magpasalamat sa asawa niya mamaya for bringing her here. 

 

You: Hon, nandito na ako. Drive safe, please.

 

Nag order muna siya ng glass of iced tea while waiting for Karina. Ilang saglit lang ay sinerve na ito and wow, ang sarap. 

 

Naisip niyang kamustahin muna ang anak na si Ning ang bantay ngayon. Kung pwede niya lang isama ang anak ay ginawa niya na. Kaya lang kailangan din nilang mag bonding ng silang dalawa lang.

 

Ning Globe: Pwede mag shut up ka na lang diyan? Enjoy your date. Ako na bahala sa babygirl. 

 

Hay. 

 

30 minutes na ang nakalipas ay wala pa ring reply si Karina. 

 

You: Hon? Papunta ka na ba? 

 

Pabalik balik ang tingin niya sa cellphone pero to no avail. Wala pa rin itong reply.

 

1 hour.

 

“How are you tonight, Madam? May I take your order?” The waiter greeted Winter with a smile. 

 

She checked her phone once again.

 

No notification.

 

Dahil mukhang matatagalan pa si Karina ay naisipan niya ng umorder. Mamaya niya na lang ipapa-serve pag nandyan na ang asawa. 

 

“... and that’s it.” 

 

She ordered pastas for both of them. Shrimp & Pesto kay Karina at sa kanya ay Aglio Olio. Umorder din siya ng Tomahawk steak. Isa lang kasi ang sabi ng waiter ang serving size nito ay for 3-4 people. Mamaya na lang sila mamimili ng wine.

 

You: Are you driving? Umorder na ako for us. Ingat ha?

 

2 hours. She’s getting worried.

 

You: I’m worried, Ho
