"I'm asking you, Clint. Where is my family? Where are Flavio, Fionna, and Flynn?" I asked him again. "Where are they and where are my husband and the kids staying, Clint?"

His mind was somewhere else, tapping his fingers on the table while looking at me blankly. He told me that he still couldn't believe everything that I had finally remembered my old self now, and I feel like I haven't aged because my mind is currently stuck in October.

"Rome, Italy." he finally spoke, "Father's hometown,"

"Bakit sila nandoon?" I was curious why they were not here. Gusto ko ng makita ang pamilya ko, I wonder how they look like right now and I'm curious about how they look.

Natawa ako sa sarili ko ng bigla nag sink in sa utak ko na nag adopt pala ng bata ang asawa ko ng triplets when we also have triplest naman. Si Kobe, Kallie, at Khalil pa lang ang nakita ko sa mga anak ko. I hope they will built a good relationship with my kids.

The whole time, I was jealous of a photo that was placed in the fridge in Kale's apartment where the kids stayed beside my place, the girl in the photo was me. I thought it was Chase or maybe ka-lookalike like lang but, hell it was me naman pala.

"For the safety," he sighed and continued to eat. Finally, bumalik na rin siya sa normal na pagiisip, ang lalalim kasi ng iniisip parang may prinoproblema.

"I'll use your jet and drive for me there," utos ko at sumubo ng pagkain, agad namang kumunot ang noo. I arched my brow and look at him, he nodded in the end but with rolling eyes.

"Bring your Quadro and ex wife, I'll spoil them except you. I just need someone to take care of them, kawawa naman kami ng asawa ko pag wala kayo."

Wala lang, gusto ko lang siyang bwisitin kasi ang laki na ng pinagbago niya. He changed a lot. Halos hindi ko na siya kilala dahil mas lalo siyang tumahimik at suplado, his tattoos are getting more and growing at may piercings na rin siya sa kanyang tainga at dila, I wonder if he pierced his nipples too like what I did to mine.

"Luna will take care of them, I'll send someone to drive the plane."I chuckled and looked at him seriously.

"Let Luna live for god's sake, Clint. Bigyan naman natin ng day off si bunso, well if ayaw mo I'll call Raven instead para sure. 'Wag ka na lang sumama pag ayaw mo talaga," nanlalim ang mga mata niyang nakatingin sa'kin bago nag salita ulit. "Fine, your wish my command."

"You know, you shouldn't have divorced her. If you don't love her anymore then at least don't divorce her naman, you should have at least stayed for the kids na lang sana."

The day I woke up I thought they were still married because of what he told me, they were once in a perfect marriage lang naman pala.

I know it's kind of toxic 'yung sinabi ko pero kung wala ka na talagang nararamdaman sa taong inanakan mo at nagawang mahalin noon, you should have stayed na lang para sa mga anak niyo kasi sila yung magdudusa e.

I've known some common friends who were divorced because of the same reason, and I pity those kids because of the setup they have. Pwede naman siguro iyon gawin once they're old diba? At least gets na nila ang situation ng parents. Masakit isipin na nahihirapan lang silang ipilit ang sarili sa isat-isa but parents will do anything for their kids right?

"If I stayed back then, do you think I'll move on from us? 'Cause for me it was the best decision I've made, sister. I moved on already. We're good for our kids, we're okay and agreed to everything our kids need, and what's the problem with that?"

"Oh, you sound like the opposite one, brother dear." I teased cause I don't believe his ruthless lies. "You don't know anything, Chloe."

"Okay, stop eating now. I know you have already lost your appetite, stop pretending and let's leave now." I stood up and wore my sling bag and went to his Mercedes.
