this is the nth time that I will try another story to somehow bring the passion that was lost in the void of darkness... This is the last attempt that I will try to prove to myself that I am still that kid who dream of becoming big by expressing her...
" Maddddddddddddie!" Kim yelled making Eli and Kathy peek from the darkroom as they are doing some photo film development.
The latter was shocked to hear her name being said like a scream her face was about to explode but then she saw that it was just Kim whose screaming her name and when Kim was in front of her she gave her a big hug and was giggling about being able to see one another after 4 long years i guess? My eyes was just glued on them both and the suddenly my gaze caught another figure behind Maddie. It was a little Boy ( Well not so Little I think his 3 or 4 not really sure about the age) And he got Maddie's distinctive chinita eyes that always disappear when she smile genuinely.
" Uhmm " I tried to get there attention dahil business hours pa din and Maddie walk in as a regular customer masiado lang excited tong si Kim that she bombarded Maddie right away
" Oh sorry Bei! Sorry Mads I know I shouldn't just attacked you right then and then tong kaseng si Bea nagpapahabol masiado kala mo naman ang ganda niya, So what brings here you here pala? "
" Ah yes, so Finley here wanted to see if he can book his events planner as he will turn 5 next month, He insist on a party but I don't really have the time to organize everything due to my busy work schedule "
And that's the time that Little Boy walk in front of all of us and introduce himself

Finley Ansel Isaac is Maddie's turning 5 year old baby boy. His super jolly and is the polar opposite of his Mom Eli and Kath together with Kim discuss to Maddie what she wanted to happen for Finley's birthday party while I hang out with him on the backyard and took this picture.
" So I heard that your birthday is coming up and you wanted to organize a party is that right?" I ask trying to get some details of the things that he wanted for the party
" It was just a joke, I never wanted that party what I want is Mommy! She's always busy with work that I always spend time with my friends house. :( " He huff as he pouted
" But all she wanted was to make sure that you'll be able to get what you need, Mommies tend to be busy for their babies "
" Not my Mommy she just don't love me enough as to why she's always at work. "
" Can Tita Bei hugged you? " I didn't know where did that came from but he look at me intently and eventually engulf himself to my arms.
" I can only imagine what your currently feeling inside Finley but I know that your Mommy didn't like to work long hours she just wanted to be able to give you all the things that would make you happy. " I said caressing his head this is what i usually feel whenever Mom and Dad was away for work, but the good thing about it is I have Kuya Loel with me.
" If you want Tita Bea will come to your party personally and keep you company and to help you enjoy your party sounds good? " He then fixed his gaze towards me and this look has a longing feeling he might really misses his Mom a lot even though they are living in the same house.
" Really Tita Bea?! You'll come to my party 😲 but we barely know each other." I chuckle he is right I just met him earlier today and is being to friendly towards him
" Oh yeah sorry about that, Well I'm Tita Isabel Beatriz De Leon, I am your Mom's batchmate/teammate/ and her friend way back in college and what about you?"
" Hihi Hi Tita Bea! I'm Finley Isaac Madayag i'm 4 1/2 and will turn 5 next month I am my Mommy's big blessing " we shake our hands while both of us are giggling
Before we can even do another hug Maddie and Kim was walking towards us making Finley attention move towards his Mom he run towards her and I can't help but give Maddie a small smile I know that she love her son so much but living in the US can really take too much of your time as a single Mom.
" Bei! Maddie was able to talk to Eli and Kath about the propose event details and the budget and this girl is a hot shot now working on one of the biggest company here! "
" Kimmy don't brag, alipin pa din naman ako ng trabaho ko kaya nga I can sense na Finley here is getting super angry with me."
" I am not Mommy!"
All of us chuckle by the kid's answer
" Uh Mads, can I talk to you for a bit, I promise this wont take to long we can even discuss while walking out?"
" Sure, Finn get down and walk na baby "
" So? I was able to talk with your guys and tell them what Finley want, the budget wont be the problem kaya wala kang dapat problemahin Bei"
" I am not worrying about anything Mads, the organizers I know them first hand and Eli and Kath can surely make your theme come to life, What I did want to talk about is your son, Kase I was able to talk to him for a few minutes and he told me that he really didn't want the party he was just buying himself some time to spend with you, I know.. I know that I shouldn't be minding your business specially how you raise him but you know that I know how it felt like to be left alone with house help but I have my Kuya with me. If you want I can look after him for you" What the seriously Bea are you insane?! she gave me a poker face and are you serious aura
" I really appreciate the offer Bei but Finley and I can manage but you can visit us from Time to time. Finn might like you to be his new playmate. And thank you for sharing this to me really."
I did not push through with what I had in mind again i am not in the place to be pushy specially na ngayon lang ulit kame nagkita ni Maddie and as much as I would like to ask whose Finley's Dad I think I know who he is but where is he anyway?
Maddie and I arrive to where they park their car Kim was with Finn and was talking as well. Maddie open their car and we help Finley to his car seat at the back while Maddie was still out talking to someone over the phone Kim decided to leave first dahil may itinerary pa daw siya today.
" Alright Finley, I'll see you in the next days to plan your party alright? Might visit your home as well sounds good?
" Yes Tita Bea! I'll see you. " I was shock when Finley gave me a peck sa cheeks I lightly pinch his cheeks
" Be good okay?"
I close the door and was about to say goodbye to Maddie as well pero she's still busy with her phone call kaya sumenyas na lang ako na babalik na ko sa loob and she just nodded and waive her hand pagtapos nun I walk towards my house office and nung nasa pinto ako a car honk at me and it was Maddie and Finley saying goodbye.
Pagpasok ko sa loob Kim was ready to go and was about to get my car keys, I gave here ah what are you doing look and
" Well I need your car for today since wala ka naman lakad diba? I just need it for today no worries babalik agad ako by 6 PM and then will grab some dinner sa diner near here okay? "
" Fine but fill it up okay? Full tank yan si Gray."
