He doesn't value you? Then quit! You're not born to settle for less.

"You can never do that, Mr. Lim!" I said through gritted.

"Trust me, I can."

"Don't threaten me. I can do better." I said and rolled my eyes.

He wants something. He wants to prove something from me. Well, challenge accepted! Let's see kung mahanap niya ako.

Nang makabalik ako sa ice cream parlor na pinag-iwan ko kay Sheen ay agad ko na siyang niyakag pauwi.

That Mr. Lim has too many connection. He can hire a private investigator just to find out what he wants to know. Pero kahit malaman niya pa 'yon, wala akong pakialam. Dahil kahit daliri ng anak ko hindi niya mahahawakan.

"Mom!" I was back to reality when Sheen snapped his finger. "Mom, you're holding me tighter. Masakit."

Agad akong napatingin sa braso ng anak ko na hawak ko. Namumula na ito sa higpit ng pagkakahawak ko.

"I'm sorry, honey. Does it still hurt?" I asked as I rub my hand through it.

"It's okay, mommy. But, what are you thinking?"

"Nothing, honey. I just bumped into someone who stared at me angrily," I answered.

"Why? I should be there protecting you, mom. No one hurts my mother."

My son's voice is authoritative. May pagmamanahan naman siya. They are really alike, I do not wonder.

"I should be the one protecting you, son. I can handle myself. I'm old enough."

"No, mom. Since, I don't have a daddy to protect you, I'll be the one to do his job."

"Hahaha! I love you, Sheen," I said and hugged him.

"I love you too, mom."

We arrived at our condominium at exactly 4:00 PM. I guess my son is really tired that he just slept on the coach. I don't blame him. He is still a kid after all.

I carried him to his room, so he could not get any backache. His room is smaller than mine, but it suits him. He wanted it to be neutral color---black, white and gray. But, I complaint. I want it to be a shade of dark and light blue. He is a 3-year old kid, not a 17-year old boy.

I bought this condominium with the help of Glow. I told her to buy us a suitable condominium for me and my son. And I also asked her to organize this.

I started to cook chopsuey. My son is really fond of eating vegetables and fruits. I don't know where did he get that attitude. I mean, I hate vegetables. Those leafy, greeny and bitter vegetable is really not my thing.

At exactly 5:00, I finished cooking for our dinner. But, since it's quite early. I just decided to take a bath.

I wore a simple shirt and denim short. I tied my long and shiny hair into a pony tail. And just like that, I went out my room.

I thought of waking up Sheen. But, as soon as I saw him sleeping peacefully, I just backed out. He really looks like him. Those brown eyes, curled eyelashes, pointed nose and sexy-red lips are really from him. Wala na yatang namana ang anak ko sa akin, maliban sa kilay ko na hindi na kailangan pang ahitin.

Sumiksik ako sa tabi ng anak ko. Kasyang kasya lang siya rito. This bed is a customized design of Glow. She made it just for Sheen. Mukha nga lang sablay siya sa laki. Maybe she is not aware that her godson is a big one. Two-three years later, baka kasing laki ko na ang anak ko. Pati height niya sa kanya niya nakuha, pero mabuti na rin 'yon.
