"You sure you don't want me to come with you?" tanong ni Dos kay Georgina nang makarating sila sa tapat ng isang malaking gusali. The very same company where Aki was employed before.

"No na," Georgina immediately replied. "I might take long sa meeting and you'll kust get bored waiting."

Hindi niya gustong iwan ito. Something in his gut wanted him to pull her back to her seat and just drive away—kidnapping her back to his place and lock the two of them inside their room. He frowned.

"Dun ka na lang muna maghintay sa kabilang street," anito sabay turo ng katapat na establishimento. Hindi nga iyon malayo. "There's a coffee shop there where you can wait. Free parking."

Sa tono ng pananalita ng babae, mukhang desidido pa rin itong pumunta ng mag-isa. Wala na siyang magagawa doon.

"Fine," he said.

She kissed him on his cheek before getting out of the car. Tinanggal niya ang suot na seat belt bago buksan ang bintana ng kotse sa may passenger's seat. Dumungaw ito doon kaya inilapit niya ang mukha dito.

"I'll text you na lang when we're done," Georgina added and smiled. "Then we can have dinner doon sa Korean restaurant I was telling you about."

He gave a small nod before driving off. He managed to secure a parking spot at the coffee shop she suggested.

"Iced Americano," order niya nang makapasok sa loob ng sikat na coffee chain. Pinili niyang maupo sa isang bakanteng silya malapit sa may bintana para makita niya agad kung palabas na si Georgina.

Hindi maalis sa isip niya ang pagtatalo nila noong nakaraan. About having kids.

As much as he wanted to have their own, hindi pa pwede iyon dahil kinakailangan niya munang magpagaling. Kailangan niya munang masiguro na hindi iyo mahihirapan dahil napakahirap ang magbuntis.

He saw how hard it was for Naia when she was pregnant and how demanding it was for Jarvis. Kailangan ay mas malakas na siya para masiguro niyang maibibigay niya lahat ng pangangailangan at gusto ni Georgina.

Naagaw ang kanyang atensyon nang may isang babaeng pumasok sa establishimento. May karga-karga itong batang babae at bitbit na eco-bag puno ng sa tingin niya ay mga groceries. The girl was petite—around Georgina's height and had the same puffy cheeks. Mukhang doon namana ng bata ang malulusog nitong pisngi.

"Ba-bbu!" hiyaw ng batang babae sabay turo sa order boards—na animo ay ito ang umuorder.

Hindi napigilan ng babae sa counter ang mapangiti dahil sobrang cute ng bata. Maging siya ay napangiti dito. Her mom looked so proud and beamed as she ordered while glancing at the kid.

His thoughts then played a trick on him and he started to see the girl as Georgina. Imbes na ang hindi kilalang babae ang nakatayo sa may counter dala ang cute na bata, si Georgina na ang nakikita niya. And the kid had the same gummy smile as her.

"You wand some cake too, baby?" tanong ni Georgina sa bata na sunod-sunod naman ang naging pagtango. His girlfriend smiled so wide as she pinched the little girl's cheeks. "Okay. But share na lang kayo ni daddy, ha? Too much sweets is bad for you."
