I must say, yung bond between Eli and Ella is unbreakable

Palagi nang hinahanap ni Eli si Ella

Nagpupumilit pa sakin na lumabas ng room

Its been 2 weeks since that happened too

"Anak, mommy felt dizzy can we stay here nalang muna?" Sambit ko

Hilong hilo talaga ako at gusto ko ding sumuka!

I don't know what's gotten into me

sinuka ko na lahat sa bathroom

"mommy, tita Ella's calling" sambit ni Eli

Lumabas na ako sa bathroom and answered the call

"hello"
[Okay ka lang? bat umiiyak ka?]
"n-nothing. w-what do you want"
[sungit ah, By the way, Let's watch the sunset later?]
"Okay! bring mango flavored ice cream please"
[Okay. See you later]
"Bye Ella,  see you later"

I smiled and ended the call

"Baby,tita ella said we'll watch the sunset later. She'll bring ice cream" I smiled

"Yehey! ice cream with tits ella" He exclaimed

I smiled and watched him play while he's talking about ella

Puro si Ella nalang ang bukambibig ng anak ko

Sana hindi siya magsasalita tungkol kay ella pag uwi ng daddy niya

Malalagot talaga ako neto

Andito kami ngayon sa tabing dagat, watching the sunset while Eli's playing in the sand

"Look, tita ella!" he said and showed her the crab

Napa ngiti naman ako

"Pwede na pala tong si eli na mangingisda eh, lakas sumisid" sambit niya

Napa tingin ako sakanya at matalim na tumingin bago ko siya hampasin sa braso

Napa tawa naman siya

I felt dizzy and I want to vomit ulit

"Are you okay? sumasakit ulo mo? pwede namang bumalik tayo sa room" she's worried

"I-I'm fine, ella... W-wala lang to" Nautal na sagot ko

Hindi siya nagsalita at pina higa lang ako sa thigh niya

"Everything's calm "I heard Ella said

I breathe in and out

"Ang baho mo! amoy semento ka"I covered my mouth

"Ha? Kaka tapos ko lang maligo ah" Sambit niya

She looked confused

"Oo, maligo ka nga kaya"Umupo na ako sa tabi niya

"Your tita ella smells like a cement baby" sambit ko kay Eli pag lapit niya samin

He got curious kaya sininghot niya si Ella

"No po, mommy. Tita ella smells so good" sambit ni Eli

"Edi wow" I rolled my eyes

"Anyare bat biglang sumungit mommy mo baby"Rinig kong tanong niya kay Eli

"Sige, magsama kayong dalaw" tatayo na sana ako pero tinigilan niya ako

"Please...stay" she softly said

I can see sincerity in her eyes

Napa upo ulit ako sa tabi niya

Elijah played in the sand, few miles away from us

"Anak ba talaga ni JV si Eli?" she suddenly asked

Napa tingin naman ako

"W-why did you asked?" Nautal na sagot ko

Ella heaved a sigh

"Kasi, i felt something on him... it feels like, anak ko si Elijah" sambit niya

hindi naman ako makapag salita

"His face, we have the same favorites, also pareho din kami ng attitude ni Eli. Please, tell me the truth, A-anak ko ba talaga si E-eli?" I saw a tear coming out from her eyes

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang isasagot ko

Kasi pareho din kaming naguguluhan

Kung anak ba talaga namin ni JV si Elijah or hindi

"I-I don't k-know" sambit ko

"We can... we can go to the hospital, and ipa dna natin si Eli. I want answers, Jessica. Please wag mo namang ilayo sakin si Eli" she said

"Hinding hindi ko siya ilalayo sayo, kung totoo mang anak mo siya or hindi" I replied

She wiped her tears and hugged me

"Sana pwede na, pwede pa" she whispered

What does she mean?

After watching the sunset, bumalik na kaming tatlo sa room

"Baby,half bath na" sambit ko

"I want tita ella mommy please" he pleaded

I heaved a sigh at tsaka tumango

Tumalon talon naman siya at tsaka niyakap si Ella

Parang Ella talaga

Pag pasok nila sa cr,I can't stop thinking about our conversation kanina

What if anak nga ni Ella si Elijah?

What should I do with JV?

Should I broke up with him?

Eli deserves a happy family

every kids deserves that

Pero it's unfair on my side though

Kasi I lost my mom

And my dad got arrested

"Mommy we're done!" sigaw bigla ni Eli

I looked at them as Ella's putting some clothes on Elijah

"I smell good na tita" He said sabay pa amoy pa kay ella

She gave him a smile and a thumbs up

"Pa amoy mo sa mommy mo dali" Ella said

Lumapit naman si Eli sakin at pina amoy ako

"Ang asim naman baby!" sambit ko

"maasim? eh he smelled so good kaya" ella said at inamoy ulit si Elijah

"Maasim? what's maasim po tita Ella?" Eli asked

"Basta baby you'll know that soon" Ella carresed her hair

Pinahiga na ni Ella si Elijah sa higaan niya

"Balik muna ako dun ah, Baka hanapin na ako. At tsaka ma suspetsahan ako at isumbong sa boyfriend mo" Ella said

Tumango naman ako as I watch eli slowly drifted to sleep
