SB Chapter 24: Affirmative*

RARE'S POV

4 YEARS LATER

I look up at the sky at nasilaw sa rays ng araw, but despite of that I smile. This is going to be a fair day, a perfect day to have a big blast.

"Mommmmy!"

I turn on my heel to face him. I put a big smile on my face as I spread my arms and squat down to meet his embrace. "Hey. *Kiss* How was your party? You like it?"

He nods rythmly. And I laugh, Im sure he do. "Mommy, Momma Spring kept twelling me to wear this costchum i dont like it."

"Eh, why? Diba its your favorite?"

"Yeah but it's so itchy."

Hinaplos-haplos ko yung buhok niya, "Okay okay, its okay if you don't wear it, just promise me you're going to behave para di madumihan yung damit mo, your party will start soon enough pag dumating na lahat ng guests mo, understand?"

He banged his head heavily, and say, "Okay."

"Good boy." I kissed his forehead, and stare at his face. My son is now having his 3rd birthday so were having a big celebration dito sa bahay. Script Kyllian Andreij is the result of the love Key and I had shared. The moment na nalaman kong pinagbubuntis ko si Script ay nasa Pilipnas na ako nun. Script got his features from his father, blue eyes and brown hair. He's also tall. Script is the best repleca of Key.

"Sis?" I look up to see Spray is calling us, "Were going to start  na."

I rise up and hold my son's hand, "Come, were going to celebrate now your birthday."

I felt his spirit lighten, "Yey!" Nagjujump siya habang naglalakad kami.

Napatingin naman ako sakaniya and my smile started to fade, were going to celebrate another year of his birthday and now,

wala pa rin ang Papa niya.

...

The whole crowd sang him a birthday song and then they chorused, "Happy Birthday Script!"

My son smiles the whole time, it's like he's having a great time.

"Now, dude, blow your candle. Okay? But first, make a wish."

He closed his eyes and put his hands together, "I wish my Daddy will be here with us." He said innocently then blow.

I stood there containing my tears, everyday yan lagi yung winiwish niya through prayers. And everytime I heard him saying it, sumasakit yung puso ko. I feel sorry for him.

Because all these years, his father never came back.

I felt my mom's hand rubbing my arms. I smiled, I shouldn't be acting like this. If ever Script see me this way, baka malungkot din siya. I kept telling him that I love his father, and that he loves us back. Minsan nakikita niya akong umiiyak. But what makes me better whenever I cry is I know that Script believes. He believed. What he always tell me is that, "Daddy loves us."

He believed. Kahit na ang totoo, Key never knew Script. After we seperated, wala na akong contact kay Key. Even the time when I knew that Im already pregnant. I didnt bother search for his contact just to tell him.

I sit beside my dad when the games started. Hosted by Sphere. Sphere and his loud voice is the perfect thing about parties.

My father is sitting like the President of the country. Like he owned everything he sees here. Well he does, perhaps. Then he looked at me, "I don't read thoughts. I'm not a vampire. Speak up, sweetheart."

Napasmile ako. Kanina pa kasi ako tingin ng tingin sakaniya tinititigan.

"I'm wondering if ... I'm wondering if I could go to France and look for him." I confessed. Ngayon ko lang kasi talaga narealize na. Na it's been years. And my child needs to see his father. I know whag are consequences but for my son, I'll do everything. He's been dreaming of the moment where he can see Key.

"What does your mother always tell you?" He asked.

"Na trust God and how he perfects everything by the use of time." I said completely. Mommy always say that to us. Time is important, but Time has it's own power. You should just trust on it.

"Exactly."

I looked suddenly to Script playing around with some kids. My son deserve happiness. But now, I think I have to stick with the plan.

...

"Spree, did you see where's Script?"

Lumingo-lingo si Spree. "No ate. But I saw Kuya Race kanina with him, ask him na lang. Hehe."

"Oh, okay." I left her with her friends after that.

Asan ba kasi yung batang yun. Kailangan na siya mag change ng clothes for the last part ng event.

Since nasa backyard kasi ng bahay hineld yung party, pumunta ako sa front gate to check. And yes, nakita ko siya. Nakita ko siyang mah kausap na lalake? I can't see who. Nakatalikod kasi.

Papunta na ako sakanila nang nakita ko silang pumasok sa sasakyan.

Shit.

"No, Script!"

Patakbong sumigaw ako pero huli na dahil nakaalis na yung sasakyan. I looked around. Why the fuck the guards aren't here?! I pulled out my phone and tried to call Race but he's not answering. I tried to call my dad but I froze when I felt someone behind me.

So close behind me that I can feel this person.

May dinikit siyang bagay sa likuran ko, and from that moment, i know it's gun. How... maiyak-iyak na ako kasi baka kinidnap na yung anak ko.

I was about to turn around when he spoke,

"Stop."

I cried from the moment I heard him.

Him.

"If you want your son back, all you have to do is say Yes when you turn to face me."
