"I felt helpless watching my son sob after his phone call with his father .the intense bond they'd formed in such a short time terrefied me the thought of my son choosing his father over me was unbearable.
*sigh* love come here ,its okay dont cry mm?,mom is here.dont you miss mom too" i said to my son as i hug him.dont worry love dad will be here soon okay, just wait for him but for now how about ill take you to the swimming pool,"
do you like to swim now? I ask as i continue comforting him.and just like that his eyes light up still with tears sircling around his eyes.i hold his chin to raise his small and handsome face and wipe his tears. "Ok mom" ok little swimmer, lets find your trunks! I said grinning. Help mommy pack them"
The thought of seeing his face light up at the sight of the bright blue inlatable slide at the kiddie pool near our house made my heart so happy .he adores swimming and its perfect way to lift his son's spirits.
"Careful love,don't run" i warn my little man as we reached the pool.
He was already bouncing around in his swim trunks so excited.i quickly applied sunscreen on him because the sun was strong today I'd thrown a simple white t-shirt and shorts that hit mid-thigh. Honestly even in that simple outfit,i felt a little self conscious i know its sound silly, but there were definitely a few stares at the pool today.people do a double take -some couldn't believe i had a four -year-old son i often get mistaken for siblings .its a little funny,actully.
When it gets four in the afternoon we deside to go home ."What do you want for dinner my love" fried chicken mommy,he replied with his puppy eyes.i smile back at him as i ruffle his hair the sadness had clouded eyes earlier ." as the aroma of frying chicken filled the air ,a familiar ringtone vibrated from my phone nestled in my aprone pocket.
"Yes? I answer as i raise my eyebrow." Jane i need your help nate said in desperate voice.help you in what?..will can you accompany me to a party tonight please! I sigh* but how about hansshen? Who would be with him tonight?i ask ,he will be at my home tonight andrie would love to be with him."alright, what time would you be here? I replied" ill be there at 8pm just be ready ok " i rolled my eyes fine" ill hung up now i was cooking i said.oh ok bye see you tonight .he said then he cut off the call .
"Mommy are you done cooking , im hunggry" yes love just give me a minutes." ok mom." as we eat the doorbell suddenly rung.
" wait here love ill just check the door who it might be - but before i could finish talking, my son already get up to his set and run through the door to open it."
"Yohansshen Vince Mendez !" how- "Daddy!!!" i cut off my voice when i hear my son's excited voice when i follow my son .."
"Mommy" Daddy is here!! " he squeled ,his heartful overflowing with happiness as he jumped and beamed,a wide,radiant smile illuminating his face.
I froze when i saw the man my son's calling daddy.his gaze locked with mine and i suddenly felt nervous under his intense stare he was looking at me like im his wife waiting for him to come home. We stared at each other for thirty seconds before avoiding his intense stare. I look at my son that now is already in his father's arm giggling."
I was just about to scold him about earlier opening the door like that, its dangerous!"but when i was happy looking at him i cant bring my self to scold him so happy like that. I just shake my head as i smile seing my son so happy,
