"I love all those first time that I experience with you. I will always treasure those memories that we shared, my first love. From the girl who had a crush on you, Lea." I finished reading the story pero hindi pa rin nakakatulog 'tong alaga ko.
"Not all stories have happy ending. Mayroon talagang hindi nagkakatuluyan sa huli" I whispered kahit hindi na naman niya naiintindihan at naririnig. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit love story ang pinili kong basahin sa kaniya, eh.
Dito na naman kasi pinatulog ng nanay niya si Althena, busy ang nanay, eh. Pero mas gusto ko rin na nandito siya para naman may kasama ako. She's only three years old. Makulit, kaya palagi akong napapatawa.
It's been three years, almost four years na nga, eh. I work here in one of the biggest real estate company in New York, I work there as their finance manager. I can say that I really worked hard. Nakatagal ako sa company nila, eh. It helps me to move on and to move forward. And now, I can say that I'm happy. Much better from the past.
More mature, stronger, I believe I'm not the Nathaly before. Marami ang nagbago, madaming nagyari bago pa ako nakadating sapwesto ko dito.
I changed for myself. Hindi para sa mga taong hindi na mahalaga sa akin, it's a waste of time kung iisipin ko palagi sila para lang mapabuti ang sarili ko. Mabuti na ang buhay ko ngayon nang wala sila. Mas masaya with the kids I always take care of.
"Sleep na baby, you need to rest. Because you'll meet your Mom tomorrow. Isn't that exciting?" I asked Althena and she jumped up and down.
"Let's sleep, Mommy" She always call me Mommy, ewan ko ba sa nanay nito kung bakit hinayaang Mommy ang ipatawag sa akin.
I tapped her legs, waiting for her to finally be asleep. I also need to rest, buong araw kaming magkasama ni Althena at ako ang napagod dahil ang likot likot niya. But she said na-enjoy niya tumambay sa park kaya naenjoy ko na rin, as long as she's happy.
"Baby" I tapped her shoulders, papunta na kasi ang tatay niya kaya kailangan ko na siyang gisingin.
She didn't move. Yakap yakap pa ang teddy bear na regalo ko sa kaniya noong birthday niya.
"Your Daddy is here" I said and she immediately opened her eyes. Natawa pa, she's faking her sleep! Akala ko naman ay masarap talaga ang tulog niya.
"Really?" She said getting excited.
Tumango ako, "Yeah, on their way" Natawa ako, 'yun lang pala ang magpapagising sa kaniya.
She crossed both of her small arms, pouting.
"Let's go, let's brush your teeth?" I asked tapos kinalong ko na siya.
"Mommy, why are you sad?" She suddenly asked while I'm brushing her hair. Ang gulo kasi dahil malikot siya matulog.
"No, I'm not sad. I'm happy" I looked at her through the mirror.
