Farah's POV
"Smile, Calyx!" ani ni Drew. Hawak hawak ko ang magkabilang kamay ni Faria at Pixes.
Ang panganay ko ay kasalukuyang nagpapa picture sa isang mascot. Birthday nilang tatlo ngayon. Ilang oras pagkatapos kong makarating dito ay pumunta na agad kami ng Disneyland.
"Smile, Farah!" ani sa akin ni Drew. Agad akong ngumiti.
"Beautiful." sabi nya habang tinititigan ang larawan. Napailing na lang ako.
Kaming lima ang magkakasama. Hindi na sumama si Abram at Seira dahil may gagawin ang dalawa ngayon. Sabi nila ay hahabol sila bago mag gabi.
Sinubuan ko ng pasta si Faria. Habang si Drew naman ay pinagigitnanaan nina Calyx at Pixes.
"Here's our menu, Mam and Sir." ngumiti ako sa waitress. Nakita ko ang pagsulyap nito kay Drew at pagmula ng pisngi nito. Bumaling ito sa akin at mukhang nahiya dahil nakita ko ang ginawa nya.
"You look like a happy family, Mam." ani na lang ito. Natigilan ako. Happy family? I smiled bitterly.
"Okay ka lang? Pansin ko di ka kumakain?" kalauna'y tanong ni Drew.
"Okay lang, I mean, di naman ko ganon kagutom." ginulo nito ang buhok ni Calyx na nagpasimangot dito.
"Ninong Drew, are you courting our Mommy?" tanong ni Pixes. Nagkatinginan naman kami ni Drew.
"No, I am just her friend." nakangiting ani nito. Napayuko na lang ako.
"Really? Don't you want to be our Daddy?" Faria asked.
Biglang tumunog ang cellphone ko kaya kinuha ko ito mula sa handbag ko. It's Abram.
"Hello, Abram? Pupunta pa ba kayo ni Seira? Kumakain kami dito—"
"Phoenix signed it." napatigalgal ako. I gulped. He signed it. He signed the divorce papers.
"Nasayo na ba?"
"Yeah. Pinadala nya dito. I am planning to go back to Italy. At last Farah, you will be free from him." Abram said. Hindi nya alam kung anong nangyari noong mga nakaraang araw. Seira didn't told him.
"Thank you, Abram." ibinaba ko ang tawag.
Once it is already submitted, I will be legally single. I smiled at that thought.
"Mommy! I want shrimp!" Pixes said. Agad ko syang pinaghimay ng hipon.
"Did you brought our birthday gifts, Mommy?" Calyx asked.
Nasa Pilipinas... I sighed.
"Of course." alanganin akong ngumiti. Napansin naman iyon ni Drew dahil kumunot ang noo nito.
"Hello, babies!" dumating si Seira at isa isang hinalikan ang mga anak ko.
Dumukwang ito sa akin at may binulong.
"Labas ka. I saw him. He's here. Phoenix is here." napasinghap ako. He's here in Hong Kong?! Did he saw us?!
"Did he perhaps... saw me and the triplets?" umiling lang si Seira.
"Mukhang kararating lang nya. This is a VIP room, gladly, this restaurant is very secure. Hindi nagpapapasok ng walang reservation."
Napalunok ako nagbaba ng tingin. Napansin iyon ni Drew na nakikipag usap sa triplets.
"Mommy and Ninang Seira, what are you whispering about?" Calyx asked. Nagkatinginan kami at ngumiti si Seira.
"It's about your birthday gifts, kiddos. We need to keep it a secret." kumindat ito na ikinamula ng tenga ni Calyx. Cute.
"Powder room lang ako." ani ko at tumayo na.
Imbes na sa powder room ay dire diretso ako sa sa labas ng restaurant. I gasped when I saw him. He looks wasted.
"Why are you here? How did you found out that I am here?" he looks at me intently.
"I tracked your phone." I gritted my teeth.
"We are done—"
"I signed the papers but I told Abram to not pass it yet. I went here to convince you—"
"Just stop, Phoenix." umiling iling ito.
"I will do anything that you want. I am a b*stard, I know. But, I changed. Farah, I... I..." napahinga ito ng malalim.
"I will tell you the truth." dugtong nito.
"I don't care about the truth, Phoenix. Tigilan mo na ako." I don't want to hurt a child. I don't want to hurt your son.
"Farah, please. I can even kneel here in front of you if you want—"
"I hate you. Ayoko sayo. You hurted me five years ago. Hindi ko kayang kalimutan yun." nakita ko ang pagbagsak ng balikat nya.

Romance"Leave, Farah." he coldly said to me. "Ha? Why? Did I do something wrong?" naiiyak kong tanong. "Did you thought that I will not know? I knew you were with Drew last month! Magkasama kayo!" "I'm sorry, but I did not expect that we will meet-" Isan...
