"Happy birthday, Caleb!"
He smiled as soon as he saw me. My favorite person in the whole world, next to my mom and dad.
"Tita Rana!"
He gave me a big hug. "I love you so much, Tita! Thank you for your gift!"
"Do you like it?"
He nodded his head. "I do!"
"Do you want to come with me tomorrow? I'll pick you up"
He pouted his lips. "Dad will be mad if I ask him"
I can't help but to get sad. Kuya Liam doesn't really give Caleb attention. I don't know why but he kept saying hindi niya anak si Caleb when he looked like him.
I felt bad. Caleb doesn't deserve it.
"No. I'll talk to him. Okay? Don't be afraid. You have me"
He giggled. "Can I stay in your house for like 1 week? You see .."
Inilapit niya ang kanyang bibig sa aking tenga "Mom and dad was fighting again last night"
"Sure. Caleb, I bought something sweet for you! I made a roblox cake, your favorite"
Parang nag twinkle yung mga mata niya. Tumalon pa ito at yumakap sa akin.
"Thank you tita Rana! You're the best"
"I'll do anything for you, Caleb. So just tell me when you need something okay? You know how much I love you right?"
He chuckled and kissed my cheeks. "I love you, too"
This sweet little boy deserves all the love in this world. He's a gem.
"Until when will you do this, Kuya?"
He looked away.
"Nasasaktan mo si Caleb!" I scream out of frustration.
"He's your child! Kahit magpa DNA pa kayo! Caleb is your son!"
"I know but I feel so guilty to face him. I know I'm not a good father to him"
"It's not yet too late Kuya. Don't make him feel bad anymore. Caleb is your son kahit pagbalibaligtarin mo pa ang mundo and can you please stop looking at Brielle? May asawa at anak na yung tao, Kuya. You should move forward, not just for yourself but your family. Ate Ciela is doing her best"
"Are you okay, Rana?"
I force a smile. "Have you eaten? You should eat habang wala pa ang mga bisita"
The party will start at 3PM, 2PM palang at kami kami palang ang nandito sa party ni Caleb.
"It's okay. I'm still full"
Kung pwede ko lang kunin si Caleb at sa akin na lang siya ay ginawa ko na.
"Is there something wrong? Kanina pa nakakunot ang noo mo"
"Kuya Liam and I argued" I whisper.
I felt his arms wrap around my waist. "Why?"
"I feel bad looking at Caleb, their son is craving for their attention. Wala na silang ginawa kung hindi mag away ng mag away. What about their son? Hindi ba nila iniisip?"
"I know how frustrated you are, Rana. But it's their family then, let them fix it on their own."
I sigh. "How can I ignore Caleb?"
Since he was still a little baby, hindi na siya binibigyan ng atensyon ni Kuya.
"Trust your brother. I know him. Gagawin niya kung ano ang tama. Bigyan mo pa siya ng konting panahon, Rana. I know what it feels like but I'm just glad that you are mine now. Hindi na ako magiging sadboy"
Hindi ko maiwasan na hindi matawa. Kahit kailan talaga napaka ni Asher.
"Hi, Rana!" Isa isang dumating ang mga kaibigan nila Kuya Liam at isa na doon si Brielle.
I hope nothing bad will happen. Alam ko nag aaway sila ate Ciela at Brielle dati. Sana ngayon at okay na sila.
She looked at me and smiled, so I did.
"Hey, it's good to see you again, '' Asher blurted out.
"Your daughter is so beautiful" Tuwang tuwang sambit ni Darrion.
She really is. Kamukhang kamukha ni Brielle. at Kuya Alexander.
"How are you?" Kuya Alexander said. I smiled and answered him I'm okay.
"Say hi to your tita's and tito's, anak"
The kid smiled widely "Hello po! Nice meeting you all po"
"Ang ganda mo naman"
"Isn't she lovely?" Asher whisper.
I nod my head
"Should we get married?"
Hinampas ko siya ng mahina sa braso. "Shut up, Asher"
"Why? You don't want to marry me?"
"Of course, I do."
He smiled widely. "Then you should answer me 'yes' whenever I ask you to marry me"
I'm really glad that I have Asher by my side right now. I wouldn't trade him for anything in this world.
This time, I know and I'm sure
Asher is my future.
"I want to have a kid. Maybe like 3?"
"ikaw ba manganganak?"
He laugh his ass out. "Kung pwede naman. Why not?"
Napa iling na lamang ako. Ngayon ko lang narealize na ganito pala kakulit at kapilyo si Asher. Kala mo naman sinong tahimik dati.
"I love you, Rana"
"and please marry me"
