"Pa, when will I ever get to see Mama again not as a stranger?" My son sadly spoke to me, lazily eating his food. "Moments from now, you will see her. May she remembers or not, you'll introduce yourself as her son,"

Whenever I told him that line over and over again he would always get excited, but at this time... not anymore. He left out the deepest sigh I have ever heard, his twins look at him sadly too but more like Kallie looks sadder than Khalil because he was too good at hiding his true emotions.

My babies are growing up too fast... my babies slowly understand our situation too fast. They are more hyper than before but this time they're good at limiting their selves on what they are doing. Alam na nila kung paano alagaan ang sarili nila. They know how to feed themselves, they know how to clean themselves now.

"I have a meeting with your mom after we ate dinner and that means I'm leaving," I spoke their eyes immediately went to me-widen. "Papa, can we come with you?"

Ang mga ngiti sa kanilang mga mata ay bigla naglaho dahil hindi ko magawang sagutin ang suhestasyon nila. I really wish I could do that... but I just can't drag us all in one time that might make her run away from us, baka takbuhan niya na naman kami.

After nilang kumain ay pumunta na sila sa salas para malibang ang manood ng Netflix, after settling everything I have to do in my routines. Nagmaneho na ako kaagad papuntang opisina para sa meeting.

Last time I tried to tell her the truth but I saw her with Jace kissing each other. It hurts but I'm just letting it go away. Pain will always go away, right? So why bother to think about it every day?

I focused on driving the car once again when my dad called me.

"[Son, your wife's face couldn't be drawn anymore. We were all waiting for you here, you need to hurry.]"

"[I'm driving on the way there na, don't worry about her expression, it'll be alright once I'm there.]"

"[How could you be so sure? Naiilang na ang iba rito sa kanya dahil masyadong serious naman kasi 'tong asawa mo e,]" Mahina na lang akong natawa sa sinabi niya.

"[I'm hanging up now, I need to park.]"

"I'm sorry for being this late, Kobe is looking for his mom and I have a hard time making him still. My apologies Ms. Yapchengco, I'm Kale by the way, nice to meet you." Even I was shocked at why it came out like that.

I could feel shivers all over my body the moment she accepted my cold hands with her warm ones, I could also feel her deep stare all over my face as if she were studying every part of it. I can also feel my heart beating so fast that will only beat for her.

"Uh...do you need anything?" I scoffed ng ma realize ko na magkahawak pa rin ang mga kamay namin. Namula siya at napailing na umupo sa swivel chair at nag focus muli.

"Ayos ka lang ba?" The questions get uncomfortable and I can see it in her eyes that's why I couldn't help myself to ask random questions.

"Yeah, thanks for asking." I lightly nodded at her and looked away from her deep stare again.

I honestly do not know if she remembers me when we happened to meet in Japan.

The whole meeting was good but tiring. All of my attention was on hers. Nanatili ang ang mga mata ko sa buong meeting... it's just I can't take my eyes off of her, admiring my wife.

Susundan ko na sana siya ng ma unahan ako ng ama kong hinawakan siya sa pulsuhan na tila ba may sinasabing kinunotan ng aking noo, so I immediately went to them and listened.
