"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday baby Milo." napatawa nalang ang lahat ng nasa loob ng bahay nang tumili siya at nagtago sakin na para bang nahihiya.
"Oh, right! blow the candle baby, blow na," sabi ni Lucard sa kaniya, nahihiya siyang ngumiti habang mag sumusiksik siya sa bewang ko at halos lahat ng taong nanonood ay makikita mo ang galak sa kanilang mga mata.
Hinihipan niya nga ang candle ngunit hindi niya kayang patayin ang apoy sa kandila kaya ako nalang ang gumawa. Nagpalakpakan ang lahat at pumalakpak din siya habang tumatawa. Hinalikan ko siya at napatitig siya sakin.
"Happy birthday baby, I love you.."
"Mam–ma..." sobrang natuwa ako sa binanggit niya, because he is still in the age of learning how to speak.
After almost a year, finally I also felt at peace and to live peacefully. Ayoko na ng kaguluhan pa, kung kinakailangang magtago kami habang buhay ay gagawin ko alang-alang sa anak ko. I don’t like him to experience what I’ve been through, I don’t like him to suffer and to view life with violence. I kissed my son on the forehead and entertain our visitors.
We just celebrate my son first birthday at home with our closest neighborhood, it’s just really simple, not grand but peaceful and seeing the happiness in my son’s eyes, that’s already enough relief for me. My safe haven...
Napaupo ako sa kama nang makatulog na siya, buong araw kasi ay naging malikot siya kaya siguro napagod. Kahit may sarili siyang baby bed ay mas gusto kong katabi ko siya sa kama, nasanay na kasi ako.
"Tulog na ba?" I looked at Lucard when he opened the door.
"Anyway, here’s your phone—" sabay abot niya ng phone ko na naiwan ko sa baba.
"Salamat. Oo tulog na siya napagod siguro." ngumiti siya at tumabi sa anak ko bago niya hinalikan ito sa noo.
"Goodnight, baby. Have a sweet dream, and happy birthday again." He softly whispered before he fix his position and sat beside me.
"Lucard, thank you sa lahat, ‘di ko matutumbasan lahat ng kabutihan mo, salamat."
I wholeheartedly responded. We won’t live this peaceful if it wasn’t because of him. I won’t be able to raised my son, if it wasn’t because of him. After all, everything is because of him while we are here, why I am with my son. I was just so lucky to met someone like him.
"It's nothing. I told you, you're my responsibility right? You and my nephew, that's why I did everything to protect the both of you. And thank you for trusting me Milk."
Niyakap ko siya at nakasanayan na yata namin ito. Siya kasi ‘yung tipo na ‘di ka maiilang at hindi namin binibigyan ng malisya ang lahat. Kuya ang turing ko sa kaniya at kapatid ang turing niya sakin, kaya sobrang swerte ko sa kaniya, sobrang swerte.
"Baka sa sobrang pagprotekta mo sa amin, hindi kana makakapag-asawa?" I kidded and raised my right brow. He shrugged his shoulder off.
"It's okay, actually I'm married one year ago."
He gazed at me as he smirked kaya hinampas ko siya sa balikat. Inaasar niya kasi ako na mag-asawa kaming dalawa.
"Aray! ang sakit!" Daing niya, iniripan ko lang siya.
"But—actually, it's really okay kapag hindi siya dumating. Maybe someday, malay mo tayo pala sa isat-isa." napalingon ako sa kanya at bago ko pa siya mabatukan ay agad na siyang tumayo at lumayo sakin.
"Just kidding, hahampasin mo na naman ako ano?" sabi niya habang tumatawa.
"Lakas mo kasi mantrip, mag-asawa kana twenty-eight kana diba?" I rolled my eyes at him, he just chucked.
