Thankfully, he didn't immediately take me home. Nag-alala pa ako baka sa galit niya ipapauwi niya lang ako pero hinatid niya naman ako ulit.

He saw Ezekiel wasn't there when we came back so probably he was okay. But he left me coldly, sa lunch si Gustavo na inutos niya na ihatid ako ng pagkain kahit pwede naman talaga akong bumili.

I was there the whole day enjoying the companions of the kids who were amazed by my art and started to crowd me.

" Teach us please teacher Isa! " Malambing na saad ng isang batang babae.

I smiled and chuckled. They call me Isa, I introduced myself as Isabella but they were having hard time saying all the word so I let them call me Isa instead.

They don't really have an art instructor in here. For some reason I don't know, ang mga nun lang nagtuturo sa kanila ng gagawin basta't ika eenjoy nila.

" Okay okay. So let's start with the eyes first. " wika ko at nagsimulang ipakita sa kanila ang ginagawa ko. They were amazed and clapping after and tried it themselves.

I smiled as I watch these kids and then my smile faded as I thought; I could bring my future children here with me. They will enjoy it.

I tried to imagine an image of a boy, it didn't fully came in my mind. Trying to mold his face in my mind is really difficult and the image didn't last long in my brain.

Then a girl..hm. I can't get it too.

Dumating si Arthur ng alas singko. He was still bad mood while he drove us to his condo. Sa isang resto lang kami kumain at nakauwi na ng alas sais.

Nang makarating ay tahimik pa rin siya, he showered and went out. Ngumuso ako at ako na naman ang nagshower.

I went out after doing my night care routine. He was typing on his laptop yet again, reading reports. I sighed, how do I solve this situation.

Kumurap ako at naalala ang baby pics. He wanted to see that.

" Arthur. " I called softly then climbed up.

He sighed. " Go to sleep Isabel. " He says coldly.

Ngumuso ako, kunwari nagtatampo.
" Okay, I wanted to ask if you still want to continue seeing the baby pics but..okay." wika ko.

He sighed and went silent. I stared at him, weighing his difficult small reactions and when his eyebrows raised and looked to me I did a punch in the air in my head.

" Okay don't sleep. Give it to me. " Wika niya at pinakita ang palad.

The side of my lips rose. " I thought I'll get to see yours too? " I asked.

He pursed his lip. " After you flirted with somebody? You don't deserve my baby pics. " He says immaturely.

My lips parted and I laughed incredulously. This man! " Oh so we're going here? " I raised my eyebrows competitively. " Edi wag ko nalang din ipakita ang pictures ko, you cheated on me before—"

" I didn't! Damn it, fine you win. " He gave up immediately. He held my arms and pulled me close until I was laying on his chest. " You win. " Mahina niyang wika.

I smirked. " Ofcourse I win. "

" But I didn't cheat. " Talagang hindi siya tumitigil dito.

" Jeez whatever. My pic is here, " I said and took the silver box with ribbon in the drawer and gave it to him.

He stood up and took something on his cabinet too and then went back to me. It's a black leather photo book.

He layed beside me then we exchanged.
