Finally arrived in the Philippines
Nauna kaming umuwi ni Nolan at naiwan muna sila Baham at Sati kasi may aasikasuhin daw muna sila. Sati is my best friend sa Australia and workmates kami
Umuwi kami kasi nagaalala ako kay papa kasi may high blood pressure siya
"Grandpa, grandma, aunt Jaja!" Nolan at tumakbo kila mama
"Apo I miss you apo" John
Binuhat ni papa si Nolan tapos linapitan naman nila mama at jaja sila papa
"I missed you grandpa, grandma, and my favorite aunt Jaja. We were only talking through video calls but now I can finally see and feel you guys. I am so happy right now" Nolan
"Awww thank you for making me as your favorite aunt my favorite nephew, you're so cuteeee" Jaja
"Para kayong baliw haha. Eh siyempre iisa lang kayo alangan naman na may favorite pa kayong iba haha"
"Sorry na ate, ehh favorite daw ako ng pogi kong pamangkin eh" Jaja
"Oh sha sha mabuti pa umuwi na tayo para makapag pahinga na itong apo ko" Lovel

Flashback
Jho
Nakahiga na kami ni Nolan ngayon at pinapatulog ko na siya ngayon
"Momma?" Nolan
"Yes anak?"
"A family consists of mother, father, and child or children right?" Nolan
"Yup, why?"
"Then who is my father momma?" Nolan
"Uhmm, why are you looking for him?"
"Momma I didn't see my father since then, I want to meet him" Nolan
"What if I say you don't have a father?"
"That's impossible momma, you're not virgin Mary" Nolan
"You're father has been with you since the day of your birth"
"Huh? But I didn't see any figure of him" Nolan
"I am your mother and even your father anak"
"So you're saying that you're like virgin mary who conceived because of the will of God? Am I a miracle child now?" Nolan
"Anak you better sleep now ok? Stop thinking about those things. Good night I love you so so so much" sabi ko and I kiss his cheeks
"Ok good night momma, I love you. But last momma" Nolan
"Hmmm what is it?"
"Uncle Baham told me that he can be my father" Nolan
"Uhm yeah you can treat him like your father but he's not really your father anak"
"I pray that I could meet my real father when time comes" malungkot na sabi ni Nolan
Sorry anak kung hindi kita kayang bigyan ng tatay, pero sana makontento ka na tayo lang dalawa. Hindi ko naman ginusto ang ganitong buhay dahil gustong gusto kitang bigyan ng complete family anak
Present time
Nakauwi na kami dito sa bahay
"Hindi mo talaga binanggit ang pangalan ni Bea kay Nolan anak?" Lovel
"H-hindi po ma"
"Akala ko ba kakausapin mo ang anak mo ng maayos tungkol dito?" Lovel
"Ma sorry po pero hindi ko kaya. Kapag sinabi ko sa anak ko na si Bea ang daddy niya baka mas lalo niya itong hanapin. Pano kung magkita sila? Ayoko naman na maghabol yung anak ko ma"
"Hindi siya maghababol anak kasi alam kong tatanggapin ito ni Bea at mamahalin" Lovel
"Ayoko ma, maayos na yung pamilya ni Bea at masaya na kami ng anak ko, ok na ako dun ma"
"Naiintindihan naman kita anak pero wag mo naman sanang ipag kait yung anak mo kay Bea" Lovel
"Hindi naman po ma, inilalayo ko lang yung anak ko sa mga maling sasabihin ng tao sa kanya"
New day
Nandito ako sa mall para bilhan ng new toys yung anak ko
Favorite niya yung mga toy racing cars, alam na kung saan nagmana haayy
"Ma'am eto po yung best seller dito maganda po ito ma'am" salesman
Buti at hindi na gaya ng dati na maraming nakakakilala sa'kin
"Ahh sige kukunin ko to"
"Punong puno na po tong basket niyo ma'am dadalhin ko na po ba to sa cashier?" salesman
"Sige patulong nalang please hehe"
"Sure po" salesman
Habang pinupunch nung cashier itong mga binibili ko, nakikita ko sa peripheral vision ko na may isang pamilya na nakapila sa katabing line at naririnig ko rin ang sinasabi ng bata
"Dad can we buy more of these?" sabi nung bata
Hindi ko sila tinitignan kasi ayoko sa tao
"Sure but ask your mommy first" sabi nung tatay niya?
The voice seems so familiar, sana lang hindi tama yung nasa isip ko
"Anak this is too much, you have a lot of toys na nga eh. Next time ulit" sabi nung nanay niya siguro
"But mommy I want more"
"Ma'am Jho your bill costs 8,514.75" cashier
"Jho?" sabi nung nasa tabi ko at tinignan ko naman ito
Sabi na nga ba eh it's Bea, of all people siya pa talaga yung nandito
Bakit kasi ako kilala nung cashier hay nako
