Imee's POV:
"Hey I'm so sorry im late... Nagpacheck up pa kasi kami" CJ said at naupo sa harap ko
"No it's okay... If you don't mind, sino yung pinacheck up?"- pagmamarites ko
"Haha it's my girlfriend, oh my fiance actually... She's pregnant" he smiled at me
Grabe ang bilis naman, parang kailan lang ayaw niya akong mawala ako sakanya tapos ngayon buntis na agad ang babae.. di kaya sila na bago kami naghiwalay?
Aysh! Ba't ba ako affected! May Rodrigo kana Imee pwede ba!
"CJ, there's something I need to tell you. Something that will change everything." Sabi ko while my voice is trembling
CJ raises an eyebrow, curiosity mixed with apprehension flashing in his eyes. He leans forward, anticipating my words.
"What is it, Imee? You're scaring me. Just tell me." He asked
I took a deep breath, an overwhelming mix of emotions weighing on me.
"Remember when we were together, CJ? Those nights filled with passion and love. Well, I... I gave birth to twins. A boy and a girl." I said with teary eyed
CJ's jaw drops, disbelief etched across his face.
"Twins? But... how? I mean, I didn't know..." Siyempre dimo alam ngayon ko lang sinabi eh.. why the stammers though?
"There's more, CJ. Something I discovered recently. The girl, our daughter... she doesn't share the same DNA as my husband. She's... she's yours."- Imee
Silence engulfs the coffee shop, as CJ's eyes widen in shock.
"Are you saying... one of the twins isn't my husband's child? But... how is that even possible?" - CJ is now struggling for words
"I don't know, CJ. I never planned for this to happen. It's a complicated situation, and I don't expect you to unravel it all now. All I ask is that you support our daughter, even if we can't be together anymore." - Imee said with a bit of sadness and guilt as she thinks about her daughter
CJ's gaze shifts downwards, wrestling with his thoughts. Distress and responsibility cross his face.
"Imee, you know I can't abandon my family. We both moved on, started new lives. But I'll be there for our daughter, Remedy"- He said almost whispering
I nodded, tears streaming down my face, as I grapples with the weight of my own actions.
"Thank you, CJ. That's all I can ask for. I have to think about my husband and our marriage. I don't know how we'll fix this."- Imee. I sniffled
CJ looks up at me, empathy shining in his eyes.
"I understand. We both have our own families now. Let's try to handle this as best as we can, for the sake of our daughter and the people we love."- He mumbles
I nodded, a mixture of relief and sadness apparent in my expression. The coffee shop air feels stifling, as the reality of our situation threatens to consume us.
Both Me and CJ now face the daunting task of revealing this truth to our respective partners, our thoughts swirling with the impact it will have on our lives.
After that sad confrontation, i thanked CJ at nagpaalam na din na uuwi ako.
May deal na din pala kami na pwede niyang makasama si Remedy at bisitahin pero ibabalik din niya. At di namin lalasunin ang isip ng bata haha diko alam ba't yun nasali may tiwala naman kami sa isat isa.
Sana paglaki ni Remedy ay maintindihan niya ang sitwasyong ito

I arrived at our house, silence filled every corner but then I heard my son crying.. i quickly closed the front door and went to our room.
There i saw Rod nagpapanic na makapagtimpla ng gatas.. Binaba ko ang bag ko at binuhat si Reisse at naupo ako sa maliit na couch. I lifted my blouse up and took my bra off. I started to breastfeed my son.
I looked at Rod who's now looking at me blankly.. he averted his gaze immediately at lumapit kay Remedy upang ibigay nalang ang gatas sakanya.. He carried Remedy and that made me suprised..
Akala ko hindi niya matatanggap ang anak kong babae.. dahil napapansin ko minsan ay hindi niya binubuhat ito.
Reisse fell asleep and also Remedy. We both put them to their cribs again.
I held Rod's hand but he quickly withdraw it. I looked at him with sadness filled in my eyes.
FF
It went on and on...
Days passed and he's still the cold, emotionless and still ignoring me..
But i still tried to make it up to him.
Napapansin kong lagi na siyang late umuuwi.. hinihintay ko siya noon palagi sa gabi ngunit pinagalitan niya ako at wag ko na daw siya hintayin.
Ginawa ko naman ang gusto niya.. minsan ay hatinggabi na siya umuuwi. At kapag siyay tumatabi sakin sa pagtulog ay palagi siyang amoy alak.
I always hug him at night and tell him all the things i wanted to say.
And i wish we could go back to the same us.

"Rod?"- I was surprised because someone hugged me from behind while I'm washing the dishes.
"Hmmm" he mumbles.. i smelled alcohol again.. he's drunk
He began to kiss my shoulder and he faced me to him.
I looked at him deeply.
He caress my cheek and kissed me aggressively. He lifted my dress and we shared the night with our warm bodies.
I don't know what to feel tomorrow.. baka magalit siya o di kaya'y mag away pa kami.
Sana ay magkaayos na kami....
