Tasha's PoV

Lumuhod ako para makaharap si Ian

"Hi baby... nagpasaway ka na naman daw sabi ni Tita Nica mo saken? Tsk tsk tsk"

"Kasi... I miss mommy ☹️"

"Mommy's here na baby, okay?"

Yumakap naman saken yung anak ko pagkatapos kaya binuhat ko siya at tumayo paharap kay Gerard.

When I looked at him he's confused as if hindi pa niya maabsorb yung nakikita niya.

"Baby?" Sambit ko para tawagin anak ko na humarap din naman saken

"Pakilala ka dali. How did I teach you when you want to introduce yourself?"

"To who mommy?"

"To him oh" sambit ko at tinuro si Gerard

"H-hi po!! My name is Ian Orteza!! And I'm three years old!! Nice to meet you how are you!"

"O-orteza?"

Ngumiti naman ako sa kanya pagkatapos nun tsaka ibinaba si Ian

"Ian, go to tita Nica muna. We have something to talk about lang okay?"

"You're not leaving again mommy??"

"No, baby. Mag-uusap lang kami ha?"

"Okay mommy!!"

Pagkatapos nun, tumakbo na siya papasok ng bahay at naiwan kami sa labas ni Gerard

"H-he's-" he tried speaking pero nabigla yata siya sa mga narinig niya hindi siya makapagsalita ng maayos

"He's your son, Gerard. Siya yung baby na sinasabi ni Nica sa text, haha"

"M-may anak na ko?"

"Well obviously? Haha since we did that four years ago, 3 years old na yung anak mo tukmol ka hahahaha"

"W-wait... seryoso ba?"

"Anong seryoso ba?"

"We-we have a child now?"

"Oo nga! Nalaman kong buntis ako the moment I went to America. Gusto ko sana ibalita sayo nun pero syempre galit ka di ba? So sinarili ko na lang muna. Even my parents only knew about him nung ipanganak ko na siya. I don't want to burden anybody"

He was silent for quite some time kaya nagsalita na ko ulit

"Huy. Magsalita ka naman, you're not doubting aren't you?"

"No! No. I'm just overwhelmed. I-"

"Siya yung isa din sa dahilan kaya gusto ko maging mas maayos ka sa sarili mo kahit na hindi naging maayos paghihiwalay natin, coz I know kailangan mo siyang makilala anytime soon. Ayokong yung makitang father figure ng anak ko walang direksyon sa buhay. Siguro naman gets mo na ko ngayon di ba?"

Hindi siya nagsalita instead he hugged me tight.

"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry Tasha."

"What for? Ian's a blessing you shouldn't feel sorry about"

"Not about that... sorry... sorry wala ako sa tabi mo when you were pregnant... I should've been there"

"Hindi naman ako naghinanakit sayo. It's my choice leaving you in the first place right?"

Humigpit lang lalo yung yakap niya saken pagkatapos nun. I hugged him back afterwards

"Pakilala kita?" Sambit ko sabay tapik sa likod niya

"Will it be okay?"

"Of course it will be okay. You're his father remember?"

"But still... wala ako ng ilang taon sa tabi niya"

"But you're here now. Kaya dapat mag-ayos ka na talaga ng sarili mo. Someone will already look up to you" sambit ko holding his hands "let's go?" i asked and he nodded kaya pumasok na kami sa bahay only to see Ian playing with his toys

"Ian! Come here"

"Mommy!!" He dropped his toys at tumakbo para yumakap saken

"I want you to meet someone okay? Be good to him, understood?"

"Siya ba yun mommy?" Sambit ng bata sabay turo kay Gerard

"Mm-hm. Di ba sabi mo saken before bakit one lang so mama?"

"Opo..."

"I'm not only one baby. Kasi this guy is with me"

"Po?"

"Siya yung papa mo baby..."

"Papa?" Ian said looking up to Gerard

"Ikaw papa??" Tumingin naman ako kay Gerard and he's stunned haha.

I pulled him down para kapantay din niya yung bata.

"Kaw po papa ko?" Hindi pa rin sumagot kaya siniko ko na. Dun lang siya tumango sa bata

"Papa!!!!" Ian shouted jumping on Gerard

"Ian careful!"

"Ian careful!"
