Fred's POV

Its been a week since naka uwi kami galing Paris. Konting pahinga lang, trabaho agad. Kami na kasi ni Jackie ang nag ma manage ng mga business ng pamilya namin. Although nandito pa rin yung parents namin to look after and support us, kami na talaga kasi yung nag aasikaso at in-charge. Mas mahirap sa part ko kasi nasa Cebu yung sa amin. Pero mabuti at may mga virtual meeting apps na kaso iba pa rin kung nandoon ako at maging hands on. Pero iba na kasi ngayon eh. May pamilya na ako. Kahit na pinangako ko na ako ang mag take over ng business namin kay dad, my family is my top priority.

Mabuti at nandiyan si mommy Jocy at Jamie para may mag look after kay Sunny pag busy kami ni Jackie.

May bahay na rin akong pinapagawa sa Antipolo. We had a road trip one time at nakita kong gustong gusto ni Jackie ang view doon kasi malawak ang kalawakan. Doon kami magsisimula bilang isang pamilya. Hindi pa alam ni Jackie ito this will be my surprise to her. Siguro next year gawa na ito.

Nandito ako ngayon sa room namin on my computer nag mi-meeting and Jackie is at the furniture shop.

Pagkatapos ng meeting namin, I wondered why my dad personally called me.

"Oh dad may nakalimutan ba ako?"

"Ah no anak...wala. I want to talk to you sana about something else..."

"Ok ..what is it?"

"I'm really not sure where to start anak...hayyy...."

"Dad? Umiiyak ka ba? What's going on?"

"I'm sorry ha...pero kailangan mo kasing malaman. Your ate Faye and Fritz knows already and wala akong magawa dahil iyak ng iyak lang sila kahapon"

"Wait what's going on? Dad? Please tell me"

"Your mom Fredrick...she might be... having an affair with someone"

What the actual f***?! I froze. I choose not to believe in what I just heard. This is probably a joke.

"D-dad? Sigurado po ba kayo?"
Nanginginig na ang boses ko

"Si ate mo ang nakahuli mismo sa kanila. She snapped a photo and pinakita sa akin kahapon ...I know the guy. It was his ex boyfriend noong college pa kami. Pero hindi alam ng mommy mo na may alam na kami."

"Dad totoo ba to?! Ano bang problema ni mommy? Bakit niya ginagawa to?!"

"Anak just calm down. I have to go. Mag ingat kayo dyan ha paki kiss na lang ako sa apo ko."

"No dad...magpapa alam ako kay Jackie kung pwede ko kayong puntahan dyan..kahit mabilis lang"

"No need Fred. May pamilya ka na dyan... atupagin mo sila"

"Putangina dad please bago pa mawasak ang pamilya natin let us at least do something about it!"

Natahimik si daddy and all I could hear are his soft sniffles.

"Dad? Mahal kita. Mag ingat ka dyan ok? Tatawagan ko si ate"

"I love you too son"
