Hiding The Billionaire's Son (COMPLETED)

SPECIAL CHAPTER

"Kuya? Why don't you get married? Hello?! 40 ka na omg! Super tanda mo na baka wala nang pumatol sayo nyan!" Naka busangot na sabi ni Kellilah habang tulak tulak nitong shopping cart. I chuckled. My little sister grew up into a fine lady. Modern and gracefully beautiful with tons of dreams. "Eh, ikaw? May boyfriend kana siguro eh? How old are you again? 21?" I joked her.

"Huy kuya! Kuya ba talaga kita? Eh, 19 pa lang ako ah?! You're 21 years older than me!!!" Reklamo pa nito ng naka nguso na kinatawa ko na lang bago nilagay sa cart ang gallon ng ice cream nang biglang may naramdaman akong bumunggo sa likod ko. "Hala! Baby!" Sigaw ng kapatid ko kaya't agad ko itong nilingon at nakita ang paiyak ng bata sa floor at naka nguso.

It was like something hit me. Something deep in me reacted. As if the little boy is somehow familiar to me. His green eyes and small lips. "Omg! ARCHIEL DAMIAN! Oh my omg omg, are you okay?" When I saw the woman who called the baby, I was shocked and unable to talk. I was just speechless seeing her again. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, mister! Naku naman kase Dami I told you not to run eh!" Sermon nito sa bata.

"Okay, m-mommy..." He said like assuring his mom. Tumango ito at nag angat ng tingin. Shock was evident on her face. "Mommy ice cream, please..." Wow, she's actually fine. Does she have a family now? Is she married? Dumapo ang tingin ko sa daliri nito at nakita ang singsing rito. "A-ah sorry sa abala ha. Tara anak." Sabi nito at tumayo mula sa pagkaka luhod bago muling bumaling sa amin at ngumiti kay Kelli.

"Ang laki mo na ha? Kamusta mo ako sa ate Violet mo." She said. "Hala atee anak mo po? Omg I missed you! Can I have your number po?" Kelli said as she recovered from her cant-believe-imseeing-this-face. She looked hesitant but gave her phone number anyway. And while they talked a bit without minding me, the little kid looked up at me and the ice cream container. I smiled a bit and gave him a rocky road-flavoured ice cream. He then smiled widely and said, "Thank you." Cutely.

"I'm sure ate Violet would love to see you too, ate Chiel! Namiss po talaga kitaa!" If it has been 8 years since then. "What happened, po ba? You suddenly disappeared."

"A-ahm..."

"Oh, omg, I'm sorry for asking. I just missed you "

"Ahm no, it's okay. I also missed... you all." Her voice was gentle as it was before. "Ate I s-ship pa sana kita kay kuya mukhang may pamilya kana pala–"

"Chiel!" A familiar voice from behind. Liningon ko to at hindi nga ako nag kakamali. Dark, my best friend. He stilled when he saw me, he looked at Chiel and then at her son. "Dada!" The kid called him happily. Dada? They're a family? Dark knows I've been looking for her for years now. And I couldn't believe this was happening. "A-ah bro..." I don't even know what to say.

"Really?! I'm gonna call her! Thank you sissy! I love you!"

"Don't mention it, ate. I know you miss your BFF a lot." From the U-shaped couch, I could hear my siblings talking about Kelli and Achiel's sudden meet-up. And here I am still can't believe it. I was such a jerk, I was such a stupid guy. "Huy kuya! Na ano ka jan?" Bumuntong hininga na lang ako at saka nilagok ang isang baso ng alak na hawak ko bago tumayo. "Uuwi na ako, take care of Mama while dad is away." I, Violet, and her family are in our parents' house. Dad's out of town for some reason and asked me if we could be with Mom. Lilac is in her husband's hometown.

I didn't wait for them to answer. Dumeretso ako sa sasakyan at dali daling minaneho ito. I stopped not, too far away from where I came from, and dialled Dark's phone number. It didn't take him minutes to answer. Agad nya itong sinagot ng buntong hininga. I just couldn't get the kid's face out of my mind as if tattooed inside. And his name. It's like a combination of my name and hers? "Pare, hindi ko sya pangungunahan."
