This is a long chapter. Hope you enjoy it!

Yvonne's POV

"Eh kung binabatukan kaya kita ngayon?"
"Lols, as if kaya mo naman."
"Bwisit ka talaga forever no?"
"Oo na, tayo lang forever. I love you too babe."
"Gago."
"Geh, malapit na ako."

Di ko na siya sinagot at pinatay nalang ang telepono. Nandito kaming dalawa ni Summer sa isang restaurant. Birthday kasi ni Alvs at ininvite niya kami. I guess ipapakilala niya na sa akin yung bagong love of his life niya.

"Mommy, bakit di natin sinama si daddy?"
"Busy kasi siya eh. Hayaan mo na yun."
"Mamaya, may bago akong plano." Sabi niya at ngumisi sa akin.
"W-what plan? Summer..."
"Yes. I'll do the move since ang kupad mo mommy." Ani niya at napabuntong hininga nalang ako. I faced her and looked at her seriously.
"Summer, stop it. Stop playing cupid now. Let me handle everything." I told her and she kind of nodded. "I'm always here if you needed some... help." She said. Gladly, my daughter understands our situation.

Saktong sakto ay biglang may sumulpot na letse at prenteng umupo siya sa harap ng upuan naming ni Summer. May dala dala siyang malaking paperbag ng Blue Magic at nakangiting tumingin kay Summer.

"Hi princess!" He greeted her at pumunta naman agad si Summer sakaniya tsaka siya niyakap. Matagal-tagal na din kasi nung huli silang nagkita at close na close si Summer sakaniya. Even though they just met thrice, they got closer than usual. Alvs was like her second father.

"Dada! I missed you!" Tuwang tuwang sabi ni Summer nang bumitiw it okay Alvs. Napairap naman ako sakaniya nang ngisian iya ako. "You know what? I really like it when you call me 'dada'." Sabi niya kay Summer at ngumisi nanaman sa akin. Wala, napairap nanaman ako.

"Dada! Bakit po ngayon lang kayo nakipag-meet?" She asked him.

"Busy kasi ako Summer. Pero dahil nga matagal tayong di nagkita, here's my gift!" He bribed her at tuwang tuwa naman si Summer. Nang buksan niya iyon ay laking gulat niya nang may makita siyang maliit na box. "Ang laki ng paperbag but... what's this? I thought it was a teddy bear." She said. Nagulat din ako. Yun din kasi ang inaasahan ko.

"Open it first." He said. Mukha pa nga siyang excited habang sinasabi yon. Akala mo siya yung nakatanggap ng regalo.

Binuksan na iyon ni Summer at laking gulat ko nang may makita akong susi. Fudge, don't tell me he's-"Take care of it Summer." He said at napalingon naman ako kay Alvs. Mukhang hindi naman na-gets ni Summer kung ano ang purpose ng susi at agad ko namang kinuha iyon.

"This is... too much Alvs. Summer is too young for all of this. Masyadong mahal ito." Ani ko. Umiling iling naman siya sa akin.

"That's my first, third, fourth, fifth, eight, ninth and tenth gift for her. Nung second, sixth at fifth lang ako nakapunta diba? I think that's just enough for all those years." He said. Napalingon ako kay Summer na mukhang nalilito padin.

"A key? A key for what?" She asked at napatingin nanaman ako kay Alvs.

"Alvs naman..."

"Yvonne. Don't give me that look. I fell for that once. Stop it." He said and I gave up. Alvs is being Alvs. Wala na akong magagawa.

"Why don't we look at your real gift Summer?" He asked her.

"Real gift? Is this fake?" She asked.

"No. Basta sumunod nalang tayo kay dada Alvs mo." Sabi ko at lumabas na kami don sa restau. I thought Alvs will bring her girl.
