Nelle's POV

"What was that? Oh my gosh di naman ako nainform na mala pang kdrama pala peg nyo ni sir girl, ang intense kanina ah tapos nakakilig shet. Have you seen our co-employees looking at you with envious? Girl dream come true talaga, lalo na yung itsura ni Nari kanina Nelle, unbelievable I didn't know that she also has a huge crush on Sir Estevan, and Nelle why do-"

"Cherry please stop it, not now please? My son is sleeping peacefully, I don't want to wake him up. Just to be clear, Sir Estevan and I we don't have that kind of relationship you was imagining or expecting, the past that we had is a mistake. So it's nothing, don't mind what just had happened awhile ago"

She just looked at me, then sighed and agree on not to talk about it anymore. Umupo ako sa gilid ng anak ko na ngayon ay nakahiga sa couch sa loob ng opisina nya, kinapa ko ang likuran nito at baka pawisan naman. Buti at wala naman, tuyo ang likuran nito.

Mahirap kasi ito pawisan at mabilis dapuan ng sakit lalo na ang ubo kapag ganun, kaya hanggat maari lagi syang may towel sa likod nito at panyo na pamunas nya pa sa mukha nya kapag pinagpawisan.

"Nelle tanong ko lang, binyag na ba yang anak mo? Just curious ah, kasi naman sa edad kong eto wala pa din akong inaanak and I feel like I want to be his godmother, that's why Nelle kung papayagan mo lang naman" at sinundan pa nito ng tawa kaya naman napngiti ako.

I am happy to know there is someone who's willing to be my son's godmother,  volunteering herself even more just to be my son's godmother. Cherry is indeed a great person and this person deserve to be happy and so I nodded to her.

Nanlaki ang mata nito sa tugon ko sa kanya, at halos mapatalon sa tuwa at niyakap pa ako ng napakahigpit. She is really because of that, I am glad.

"Nelle wala ng bawian ah? Ako na talaga ninang nya ah? Pero wait hindi pa talaga binyag anak mo?"

"Well apparently hindi naman kasi kami mayaman kaya  tatlong beses lamang kami nakakain sa isang araw, minsan pa nga ay dalawa lamang dahil sa hirap ng buhay. Wala akong trabaho at that time, long story pero ok lang din naman at buntis pala ako sa mas natutukan ko ang pagbubuntis. Kaso ayun nga dahil walang trabaho edi wala ring pera. Magkano lang naipon ko nun eh, tapos sakto kakakuha ko lang din nun kay Sherlock para may katulong manlang ako at mahirap na talaga"

"Ah ganun pala, don't worry I understand and hindi na ako magtatanong ng iba pang information at sabi mo nga you are not yet ready besides I can see you're still in pain. Hahayaan kong ikaw ang kusang magsabi sakin, andito lang naman ako for you girl"

Napangiti ako dahil sa sinabi nito, nakahanap na rin ako sa wakas ng tunay, mabait at hindi huhusga sa akin bilang aking kaibigan. I just say thak you to her.

She sit on the arm of the sofa and look at my son with a smile kaya napangiti rin ako, she was really fond of my son.

"Don't worry you won't wait any longer, I plan to baptize him this year, maybe in next two to three months. Basta before this yer ended, I'll just inform you when that time come"

"Alright I am looking forward to that christening, sige I'll go ahead na muna at may mga tatapusin pa ako ngayon eh"

"Sige thank you again Cheryy, see you later girl"

"Baliw there is no need to thank me for, see you later girl" she just simled to me then wave her hand as she goes out of the room.

I looked at my son na ngayon ay napaka himbing ng tulog, I just kissed him at his forehead and stand up to pick up my phone cause it's ringing. I looked at the caller and it's none other than Xhaito's teacher, maybe she was worried why my son did not attend to her class today, I answer it.
