Allison is once again deep in thought as she wait for the man to arrive in their agreed place and time, he is not yet late, it’s just that she decided to come early so she will still have time to re-think, because in all honesty, she is still not sure if she can do this or not. She is certain that this is the right thing to do, but she is not yet ready, and she thinks she will never be ready, ever! All this time she had been telling herself that Gunner will never have a place in her son’s life. But here she is, waiting for Gideon’s father so they can strategize on telling Gideon his true connection with Gunner, and this is not an easy task for her, this is even harder than handling a complex problem in her office.
 
After a few more minutes Gunner also came, she only texted him last night to meet her in her favorite café, she never told him why, but he agreed anyway without asking her the reason for the meet up, and he came on time.
 
“Am I late?” nakakunot ang noo nitong tanong sa kanya habang sinisipat ang relo nito, “No, I just decided to come earlier than scheduled so I can relax for a little bit, no worries you came on time” sagot niya sa lalaki na ngayon ay nakaupo na sa kanyang harapan. “You may order your drink first, before we start” sabi niya sa lalaki dahil naka order na siya ng sarili niyang drink, itinaas naman nito ang kamay upang kunin ang pansin ng waiter na mabilis na lumapit dito, while giving is order, Allison had the chance to study Gunner. He really is a handsome man, everything about his face screams male beauty, he is also tall, maybe around 6 feet 2 inches or 6 feet 3 inches something around that, he also possesses a body of a real hunk, no wonder he attracts too many women at isa na nga roon ang kapatid niya, he is wearing a formal business suit right now and the aura emanating from his body contains an undeniable power and authority. The man in front of her right now is Gregory Gunner Silva who is often being featured in all business magazines, the one feared by many in the business world, not the playful and relaxed Gunner she used to see inside her house.
 
“You can take a picture, that will last longer, just tell me what pose you want me to do” may pilyong ngiti sa labi nitong turan, nahiya siya sa inasal sa harap ng lalaki but she will never admit that in front of this egotistic being. So, she remained in her position and looked at him straight in the eye without batting an eyelid before she calmly spoke. “You are handsome, there is no denying that Mr. Silva, but not all women are the same, there are some who never care about your appearance and are not affected by your charm, and I happen to be one of those ladies who don't give a damn, even if you look like a demigod whatsoever! So, don't flaunt your boastful side in front of me because it’s annoying just in case you're not aware” mahaba niyang litanya saka marahang binawi ang mata mula sa lalaki upang damputin ang tasa ng kanyang kape at marahang sumimsim doon, before looking back at him. Kung inaakala ng lalaking ito na mag papatalo siya ay nag kakamali ito, she is Allison Dans, she is accustomed to dealing with men like him. But he is also a Silva, so it is expected that he will also not bow to her, she watched the man in front of her as he smiled at her, clearly not affected by her taunting words, like her opinion doesn’t matter. “It’s still fascinating to know that you finds me handsome, like a demigod huh, well it pleases me to know that a beautiful woman like yourself thinks that way, it’s boosting my confidence” pag yayabang pa rin nito dahilan upang tumirik ang mata niya na ikinatawa naman nito ng mahina “You look more beautiful when annoyed, do you know that?” he said looking amused. “I’m always beautiful Mr. Silva, it doesn't matter what expression I make, I will always be beautiful” sagot niya sa lalaki na hindi agad sumagot dahil bumalik na ang waiter sa lamesa nila at inilapag ang order nito sa harap ng lalaki, nag salita lamang ulit ito nang makaalis na ang waiter sa gilid nito. “Now who’s being boastful?” nakataas ang kilay nitong tanong saka dinala sa labi ang kape nito at sumimsim doon.  “Enough of that” pagtatapos niya sa walang kwenta nilang pag uusap, nasasayang ang oras niya at halata naman ding nag eenjoy ang lalaki sa nagiging topic nila. Nag kibit balikat ang lalaki saka siya muling tinignan at tinanong “So, why did you ask me for this meeting, aside from wanting to see my handsomeness?” mayabang nitong tanong, he clearly doesn't want to let go of that topic, but she is not in the mood to banter with him about nonsense.
 
“This is about Gideon” panimula niya, palihim muna siyang humugot ng malalim na buntong hininga saka muling sumimsim ng kanyang kape upang ihanda ang sarili, tumahimik naman ang lalaki ng mabanggit niya ang pangalan ng anak, his facial expression also changed, from smiling to serious one na ipinagpapasalamat niya, hindi niya alam but his smile is somehow affecting her.
 
“He will be turning five next week” sabi niya sa lalaki, hindi manlang niya ito kinakitaan ng pagkagulat, well inaasahan naman na niya ang bagay na iyon, with his power and connection it will not be hard to know basic information about her son if he wanted to. “I am preparing a celebration for him, you and your family can come join us if you want” sabi ulit niya sa lalaki na agad ngumiti sa kanya, “Of course we want too, my parents’ house are already full of gifts for him, we will never miss this celebration for sure” masigla nitong turan, siya naman ay napatango at bahagyang lumunok ng laway, sa totoo lang ay noong nakaraang lingo pa niya gustong sabihin sa lalaki ang tungkol sa plano niyang pag tatapat sa anak, hindi lang talaga natuloy dahil nagulat siya sa mga pinagsasabi ni Gideon ng gabing iyon, sharing him to this man in front of her is already a challenge for her, let alone his request to have a sibling, she was beyond surprised that night so she was not able to talk to Gunner. “Actually I have one more intention for inviting you and your family to my son’s birthday-“
 
“Our son, Allison, not just your son, not just my son but our son, it’s OUR” putol nito sa kanyang pag sasalita, gusto sana niyang sagutin ang lalaki pero hinayaan nalang niya dahil hahaba lang ang usapan, knowing him, siguradong hindi ito mag papatalo, at sigurado rin naman siyang hindi magpapatalo kaya hindi nalang siya nag salita para wala ng diskusyon.
 
“As I was saying” pag papatuloy niya “I have other plans for his birthday” bahagya siyang tumigil sa pagsasalita at tumingin sa lalaki, tinanguan naman siya nito urging her to continue. “I plan to tell him about your real connection with him, so I need to talk to you before doing that, minsan mo nang itinatwa ang anak ko Mr. Silva, hindi ko na hahayaang mangyari ulit yun sa ikalawang pagkakataon, my Gideon doesn't deserve that, so ngayon pa lang, sabihin mo sakin kung gusto mo bang maging ama sa anak ko, kung kaya mo bang panindigan ang maging ama sa kanya? Nakasisigurado ka ba na gusto mo talagang magpaka ama sa kanya and it’s not just spur of the moment? Because I swear Gunner, kapag sinaktan mo ang anak ko sa parang tulad ng ginawa mo dati, sinisigurado ko sayong hindi ako titigil hanggang mamatay ako para sirain ka” seryoso niyang turan sa lalaki na hindi niya malaman ang expression sa mukha ng mga oras na iyon, she can see happiness, amusement and other else she can’t name.
 
“Ms. Dans, I am a very intelligent person who is more than capable to learn his lessons, about your question if I want to be a father and if I can be a father to him? My answer is yes! And no this isn’t just a spur of the moment, it has been months since I discovered I had a child with you and I have been feeling this strong father’s instinct kicking inside, so it’s impossible that it’s just a spur of the moment” paliwanag nito saka marahang umuklo upang mas magkalapit silang dalawa saka siya seryosong tinitigan sa mga mata, his gaze was gentle like she is a delicate person he can’t afford to break “Allison, I know you have your doubts, and I understand it now, that is why I stopped insisting on what I want because after the accident, I somehow understand you, it was never easy to be a single mother, I know you were only thinking of our son’s welfare, but you have nothing to worry about me, I will never do anything that could possible hurt our son, at least not intentionally, I also don’t want to hurt you” inabot nito ang kamay niyang nakapatong sa kanyang kandungan saka iyon pinisil “You don’t need to worry about anything from now on, I’m already here, I will never leave you and Gideon, I will protect the two of you, this time you can trust me, I will do my best to be a good father and husband” sensero nitong turan dahilan upang mapakurap kurap siya, did she hear him right? Napakunot ang noo niya saka mabilis na binawi ang kamay mula sa pagkakahawak nito.
 
“Wait? What are you talking about? What husband? Whose getting married?” tanong niya sa lalaki na tila nagising din mula sa pagkakatulog at napaupo ng tuwid. “Ow, nothing, don't mind what I said” sagot nito na hindi makatingin sa kanya. Puno ng pagdududa niya itong tinignan pero halatang wala na itong sasabihin kaya huminga na lang siya ng malalim. “Okay, whatever! But let me just make things clear, you are only welcome to be Gideon's father, yun lang nothing more nothing less, please don't ever say anything like what you just said a while ago, I know you're not serious about it but it still gives me a goosebumps” sabi niya saka dinampot ang bag na ipinatong niya sa katabing upuan at nag paalam sa lalaki, marami pa dapat silang pag uusapan pero alam niyang hindi na niya kayang ipagpatuloy ang pakikipagusap dito dahil kinikilabutan siya sa mga pinagsasabi ng lalaki, good husband? What the F***.
 
TAHIMIK LANG  na pinagmasdan ni Gunner ang likod ng babaeng naglalakad palayo sa kanya, ng tuluyan na itong mawala sa paningin niya ay napapailing nalang niyang ipinag patuloy ang pag kakape, he was carried away kaya nasabi niya rito ang bagay na iyon, well it was really his intention to make her his wife, but he is not planning on telling her, nawalan lang talaga siya ng control sa sariling damdamin nang magka titigan silang dalawa. There is no use denying it, he is in love with Allison, he also don’t know kung bakit noong nakakasiping niya ang babae ay wala naman siyang nararamdamang kakaiba rito, for him, she was just another woman he bedded nothing more, but now, after meeting her again, he suddenly felt this strong attraction, well akala niya noong una ay attraction lang iyon, but later on he realized that he is In love with her, at habang tumatagal na nakikilala at nakakasama niya ito sa tuwing nagpupunta siya sa anak ay mas lalong lumalalim ang pagmamahal na iyon. So, he made a promise to himself that he will make her his wife, he will give his son a complete family and of course his request, napangiti siya sa sarili ng maalala ang narinig na pag uusap ng magina ng gabing iyon, it was an innocent request from his innocent child, but he intend to fulfill it, the only problem is Allison, she must really hate him para kilabutan ito sa ideya na maging asawa siya. That hurt, her reaction to what he unconsciously said a while ago hurt him so bad, but he don't plan on giving up, pasensya na lang ang babae dahil minahal niya ito ng husto, gagawin niya ang lahat makuha lang ulit ang babae, siya si Gregory Gunner Silva ay isinusumpa ang bagay na iyon, itataya niya ang kanyang pagkalalaki. Mapapa sa kanya ang babae by hook or by crook, after all, wala siyang ginusto na hindi niya nakuha, and this one, of all the things he wanted to have, ito ang isang bagay na hinding hindi niya papayagang mawala sa kanya. Allison belongs to him.
