Chapter 2
It's so dark. Its like I'm on a long tunnel. Its never ending. I run fast. I saw a glimpse of light then I saw Mark standing with a little boy on his side. It's Marko. My son.
"I loved you with all my heart and this is what you're returning to me? I even chose you over my mom. I would even catch a bullet for you. But this? You left me. You left me alone. How could you? Do you even love me?" He asked.
I tried to speak but no word escape my mouth.
"What now? I'm going to take my kid because I have the rights. You took him away from me. You took my happiness." He said and he started walking away from me and he was holding my son's hand.
I was so scared. But thank God I felt someone touched my shoulder. Someone hugged me. But that someone pushed me.
And finally I woke up. I saw Marko hugging me, slightly pushing my shoulder. I've been having dreams like this since I left Mark. But unlike before, Marko is not on my dream. It was just me and Mark. Sometimes, my dream is about the scene where he was choosing between me and his mom.
"Mommy, don't cry. I'm here. It's just a nightmare mom." My son hugged me. We sleep together and he's beside me. He knew that I am having nightmares like this but he never knew what my dreams are all about.
Marko took the glass of water on the side table and gave it to me.
"Thanks, baby." I said. I kissed him and tuck him to bed. I looked at the clock hanging on my wall and its already 1:15 am. Maybe Marko woke when I moved and murmured some words on my dreams.
That night, I can't sleep anymore. I just cried. It has been 4 years but it still feels the same. The pain. The disappointment on my self. Sometimes I wonder what my life would be if I chose to stay with him.
Maybe, we're now a happy family. Nahh. If I did that, he's not successful as he is right now. Like what his mom said, I will only be a distruction on his success.

I was preparing my son's breakfast, when Zachary Drake Lim came. He's my best friend since I went to Boston. He's one of those kind-hearted person who helped me start my new life.
"Hey beautiful! Good Morning!" He greeted and kissed my cheeks. I know Zach likes me more than a friend but I can't love another man yet. I may have moved on but still, my heart belongs to the only person I loved and love until now.
"Good morning! Marko was looking for you last night and I told him about your dinner with your family. And he said he wanted to see you today." I told him.
Marko treated Zach as his father but he knew that he's not his real father. I told him that his father is far away, working. I doubt if he believes that. He's a smart kid and I know that he concluded that I was dreaming about Mark because he once asked me who is the "Mark" I was dreaming about.
"Where is he? I missed him. I'll spend my whole day here since it's your day off right? Or you want to go to mall or park or something?" He asked. We're always like this on Sundays. Since it's his free day too. He's a clothing line model. He's good looking, no doubt. But he's never courting anyone since I came here until now. I asked him why, he said because he's in love with me.
"Let's ask Marko. Can you wake him up while I prepare our breakfast, please." I smiled at him and he nodded.
"My pleasure." He wink and went on our room upstairs.
If I don't have any baggage from my past, maybe I'd fell in love with him. He's a good man, sweet, good looking, kind and he can father my son but I wouldn't take him for granted. What he did years ago already means a lot to me. I don't even know how can I pay him. He just said that as long as he can see me and my son, he's contented. I'm so thankful for his existence.
"Mommy! Uncle Zach woke me up!" My son shouted, frowning. My son was never a morning person, a trait he got from his father.
Marko came near me and hugged my waist. My son is 3 years old but he's tall. I kissed his cheeks.
"Baby, I told Uncle Zach to wake you up so that you can eat breakfast and we can go to the park. Or do you want to rather sleep and we'll leave you here?"I said.
"Okay Mom. Thank you God for waking me up using Uncle's Zach existence." I laughed. I always remind Marko about being religious. I want him to be a God-fearing person.
"Okay. Let's eat, little pumpkin." Zach lift Marko.
"Uncle Zach, don't call me little pumpkin. I'm already a big boy." He said. My son is smart. I was shocked because he can speak without being tounge twisted. Maybe he got that from his father, he's smart.
"Mom, give me 3 pancakes please. " Marko said because he can't reach the center of our table.
"I thought you're already a big boy? Then why are you asking for your mom's help?" Zach said, looking to Marko. They're always like that. Close.
"Becauseeeeee Mommmmyyyy Lovesssss meeeee." MArko answered. I was laughing because I find it amusing, the way he talks, it's like him.
"And?.." Zach asked. I know he got it. He's just teasing my son.
"Mommy loves me. Eat fast. Let's go to the park! I think it's gonna be a good day!" My son said cheerfully.
"I have died every day
waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more"
