MY DAUGHTER WANTS TO HAVE A DADDY.

Chapter 15.

Ryle's Point of View.

Normal na araw para magsimula sa bagong bayan.

I'm currently running because I didn't woke up damn early! I am supposed to be in a kindergarten right now but my alarm clock was broken.

I am from States, I stayed there for years after my grandma died, 6 years to be exact.

Hindi naman dapat ako narito pero pinilit ko lang ang mga magulang ko. Ginugol ko ang anim na taon para mag-aral tungkol sa business, kailangan ko rin ng kalayaan. Two years is enough for me to rest and enjoy a life in Philippines, my birthplace.

As I was running, hindi ko napansin ang mag-inang naglalakad sa dinaraanan ko. Before I knew it, I already bumped into someone.

"Aw,"

"Sorry, miss," nangyaring napaharap ako sa kaniya. Namangha agad ako dahil sa dinami-dami ba namang babaeng makakatagpo ko ay isang magandang binibini lang naman na mukhang may lahi ng ibang bansa ang iniharap sa akin. "Sorry, miss Ganda." I tried to caught her eyes.

"I'm sorry, too?" she sarcastically replied. Aw, what a cold shoulder! Akala ko ngingitian ako agad dahil alam ko namang sobrang gwapo ko! Ngumisi ako lalo, interesting!

But wait, she has a kid holding her hand. Shit! I tried to hit on a married woman! At saka lalo lang pala akong male-late! So I have to end our conversation sooner.

"Miss magandang masungit. Suits you though. Ingat ka na lang next time." then I ran off. Sayang.

Guess that woman is a luck. Natanggap pa rin ako bilang temporary kindergarten teacher.

"Man, muntik na akong tuluyang magkaroon ng interes sa kasal na babae. Damn." I laughed at myself and made my way to our mansion.

Fate is with me, huh? Not long since I started my work and I saw that woman again. I didn't saw the face of the kid she's with so I didn't have the thoughts that one of the kiss were her daughter. The kid sure is cute like her mom.

I ended up teasing her. I have the guts that she's a single mom because her kid will not say she's kinikilig to us. Wala pa lang, kinikilig na ang bata sa amin, paano pa kaya kapag mas nagkamabutihan pa kami?

Sa araw na iyon, kinakausap ako lagi ng batang si Eyraia, I prefer Eya but her mom calls her Eyra, I shouldn't make other nicknames for someone. Kinuwento niya na ata ang buong kwento ng buhay niya, she's clever. Nalaman kong hindi talaga siya anak ng mommy n'ya, anak siya ng bestfriend ng mommy niya. So the lady's not married and single!

Gotta admit, I like that woman. Nagustuhan ko na lang siya bigla. How about try to pursue her? I laughed at that thought.

Not long again, Eyra asked me a permission for her to call me daddy after I told the whole class that every teacher is a second parent. It's hard for a kid like her to have an incomplete family so I agreed.

Walang magsusundo sa kaniya araw na iyon kaya ako na ang gumawa. A single parent sure is having a tough time dealing with everything. Tinanong ko na lang si Eyra since alam naman niya kung saan siya nakatira.

Inaya ako nitong pumasok sa bahay nila nang makarating. This kid knows everything! From the lock of the gate and the lock of the door!

Muntik na akong mapagpawisan dahil ang hot ni Celestine nang lumabas siya sa kung saan. I mean the water drops from her face and everything makes her look hot! Turns out, siya rin ang gumagawa ng lahat sa bahay. They don't have nannies. Tough.

Muntik na siyang umiyak sa usapan nila ng anak niya pero nakita niya ako. My bad. Yet she couldn't help but to finally tear up after reading her daughter's letter. She's even beautiful when she cry. I helped her that day even she wouldn't let me do it. Then we chat a bit before I left. She even thanked me. I even told her some advice! Dang!
