"Hurry, Dad.What do you think of this one? It is superhot, right?"
"That's the most amazing design I've ever seen, son." He got misty-eyed looking at his son's big bike design.Napakabata pa nito para makagawa ng isang napakagandang design.Hindi lang iisa,marami na itong nagawa.And he will make sure,those designs will come to life.He has an amazing son.
"Look at my collections, dad. Meron ka bang ganyan? Ipinakita nito sa kanya ang napakaraming mga big bike toys.
"Yup, miniatures from the original designs, of course."Namilog ang mga mata nito.
"Can I borrow those? I just want to touch and look at the features."Natawa siya sa sinabi nito, para itong matanda kung magsalita.Para siyang nakikipag-usap sa isang kliyente.
"Son, you don't have to borrow. All yours, you understand? All I have, am gonna give to you.Not only miniatures, I have some parked at our garage back home.We have shops and stores here and in the Philippines.Is it ok if I'll show your designs to our designers? They will surely cower, and why? These are from a six- year old dragon,they will faint,hahaha!"
"Really, dad? You really think these can make them work harder?
"Yeah, why not? Give me that, you just gave me an idea, hahaha!
Days after the party, Mike was confined in the hospital.Ni minsan, kahit alam niyang malala ang sakit nito, hindi sila nakatuntong man lang sa ospital, o kaya'y sinesekreto nalang nito ang lahat.Kryztel called and told Rem to go directly to the hospital.
They have so much respect for Mike, na kahit ito pa ang gumawa ng paraan para maging masaya sila, asawa pa rin ito ni Kryztel.Nagtatawagan sila, oo, and they went out couple of times with Mike, as family.Yeah, para silang pamilya, with him as another brother.He looked so frail. Bigla itong nangayayat. The man who took care of his family, he has so much debt to pay. Gagawin niya lahat ng magagawa niya para dito. When he talked to his doctor, nabigla siya sa nalaman.Masyadong nabigla rin ito.Matagal nang lumipas ang taning ni Mike.Marami na itong bonus years.
"Hey, man. Now I can go.Someone will look after them.You two, you've been through a lot.Life is too short, quickly build a life together.Thanks for my borrowed family.It should have been my game over years ago, I owe you a lot,"Mike said weakly.Hours later, he died.
Parang hinintay lang talaga nitong may maiiwanan sa kanila. He died with a smile on his face,thanking them for the happiness.They spent a year there, inaasikaso ang mga dapat ayusin. Maraming iniwan si Mike sa kanila. Nalulula siya sa dami. Hindi nga ito nagbibiro nang sabihin sa kanya na kahit mawala ito,wala silang magiging problema ng anak niya.Ni hindi na niya kailangan pang magtrabaho habambuhay. Kung wala ang mag-ama niya,siguradong mababaliw siya sa kalungkutan.Nawala ang taong tanging sandigan niya sa mga panahong kaydilim ng lahat.
