Dane's POV:

I was reading the newspaper while waiting for my mom in the dining area. The truth is, walang pumapasok sa isip ko ngayon sa mga nababasa ko, I'm just excited na ngayon na yung uwi ni Riley from her holiday.

Dale: "Good morning sweetheart."

Dane: "Mom, good morning-"

Dane: "Mom, good morning-"

I stood up and kissed her on the cheek.

Dale: "Did you prepare the breakfast?"

Dane: "I did-"

Dale: "Wow, ang dami- hmmm mukhang may sasabihin ang anak ko ha-"

Dane: "Well, I'll start off by saying, you look beautiful today mom- and I love you-"
Dale: "Naku, kinabahan akong bigla- ano kayang sasabihin?"

Dane: "It's nothing bad, naisip ko lang na maybe it's finally time for me to get a few more people for One Heart- kinakaya naman namin nila Joe- kahit tatlo lang kami, but One Heart's doing really great recently- kaya naman kung nandun ako parati, but- mom there's something else that I really want to try to do- actually, I already kind of started it. Pero bigla akong nabuhayan ng loob ma, feeling ko- I can do better, parang kaya ko pang mas palakihin-"

Nakangiti lang si mommy pero bakas ang pag tataka sa mukha nito.

Dale: "Honey, whatever that is, please know that I'll support you- matagal na kitang pinipilit na, gawin mo naman ang gusto mo-"

Dane:" Mom it's not like I don't love managing One Heart, I do- and I'll still do it-"

Dale: "I know, I know sweetheart- alam ko. Nararamdaman ko, na masaya kang gawin ito para saamin ng daddy mo. Pero yung para saiyo- yun naman ang gusto kong gawin mo."

Dane: "I think it's best if I show you mom-"

She smiled and nodded. I drove us to my studio. She was a little surprised to see the place. We sat on the floor right next to each other.

Dale: "Sumasayaw ka?"

I smiled and nodded-

Dale: "D&D?"

Dane: "Dale and Donny-"

Dale: "Honey-"

Dane: "Mom, kids like me comes here everyday. Kids with future still unknown. Kung makikita mo lang ma, how they all work so hard, para masigurado yung sarili nilang kinabukasan. Growing up, I watched a lot of dad's old videos, he was an amazing performer. Tuwing gagalaw siya, it leaves impact to those people watching. I was like one day, I'll be like him."

Humawak ito sa may braso ko, nagkangitian naman kami-

Dale: "I'm so happy na mahal mo rin ang daddy mo, kahit hindi mo siya nakasama."

I tried to hold my tears back- my mom was patting me gently on the back.

Dane: "Of course I do, I didn't have to see him, hear him nor touch him in person, para malaman ko kung gaano kalaki yung impact niya sa buhay ko. Sa libro mo, sa mga kuwento mo, I felt him- if he was your Super D, he was mine too- cause if he didn't extend your-"

Maybe? Probably..Tahanan ng mga kuwento. Tumuklas ngayon
