Dahan - dahang pumapasok.ang sinag ng araw sa glass wall ng malawak na kwarto ni Maureen.
Dagli syang napabalikwas ng gising ---- sabay tingin sa wall clock sa kanyang harapan . Its already eight o ' clock in the morning .
Naalala nya , Birthday nga pala ni Alexa ngayon ... She promised to take her at the. Fort
Washington Park --- near Hudson river.Kahit malungkot ang pakiramdam nya dahil sa nagdaang gabi ng magka usap sila ni Jun , ay waring naroroon pa rin ang pagmamahal nya sa lalaking minahal nya sa buong buhay nya .
Tutol man sa loob nyang sabihin ang katotohanan kay Jun tungkol kay Alexa , ay waring nag aalala sya sa kung ano ang magiging Outcome' nito sa buhay ng kanyang anak .... Alexa is too young to understand ...
My daughter is always my priority , no matter what ! How time flies , she is now eleven years old .She puts her robe on , comb he hair and slowly peeped - in at Alexa's room... she's not there .
Dumeretso si Maureen sa Dining room , ' Oh .. there you are , Happy birthday Honey ...
Embracing her in a huge hugs , ' Well .. as promised papasyal tayo sa Fort Washington Park ". Alexa kissed her .
" I love you Mom... and thank you for being the most wondergul Mommy in the world ."
" Oh , Wow .." Maureen laugh , Okay.. now I will cook breakfast before something else ..you eat then... take a shower , and put on your new jeans and a pink hoodie that I bought , as my gift for you , sweetie..." Alexa smiled " Oh , Mom ..really ? Love you..". sabay halik ni Alexa .
Maya - maya pa ay dumating ang Daddy ni Maureen at " Happy birthday Babybear.." waring nagbibiro ang nakatawang Lolo niya , that' s what He fondly called her. Alexa laughed .
And they did all eat their breakfast happily.At the Fort Washington Park ***
Its quite like a Camping ground , it surrounds a Pond ... and can be use
for camping , fishing and picnic ... Alexa is beaming with excitement . The place is serene and peaceful .... The trees ,. the lake sparkling waters , and the mandarin ducks , pretty wild flowers , the green grass , it is really ideal for picnic .Alexa' s enjoy boating with her grandpa...chasing the ducks , walking in the afternoon sun and having some sunlight beside the river , and the songbirds ....
They stayed there for the whole day , so much fun and joy in the eyes of innocent face of Alexa .
Maureen smiled a bit as she looked at her beautiful smile , the laughters with her grandpa , Maureen felt a sudden guilt ...
She taught , " What was the point if I'd tell Jun that Alexa is her daughter " ... she shrugged - off her shoulder ... And looked at Alexa and her Dad as they happily catching a Fish at the pond...
