Nash's POV:

I'm on my way to the kids' school para ihatid sila. Nate's playing PSP while Sam's taking selfies on her Ipad while listening to some music. I have to admit being vain runs in our blood already. Our baby girl's into taking pics of herself while our little man's OA pagdating sa buhok niya. Gusutin lahat ng pwedeng gusutin pwera lamang sa buhok niya.

Medyo malapit na naman kami but I decided to call Shar first. Ginamit ko yung bluetooth earpiece ko dahil alam kong magagalit si Sharlene kapag kinakalikot ko ang phone ko habang nagdadarive. "Siri, call Babe..." Mabuti na lang at nag-exist ang siri ng Iphone kundi malilintikan ako ni Misis.

Matapos ang tatlong rings, sumagot na si Shar. "Hello hon?" she answered on the other line. "Hi baby..." I replied. "Oh, napatawag ka?" tanong niya. "Nothing, I just missed you..." I said chuckling pero seryoso akong miss ko na siya ha. "Dad, is that mommy?" tanong ni Sam. "Yes, baby..." I told her.

"Loko ka talaga hon! Akala ko ano na! Baba mo na nga sayang lang sa load." sabi niya kaya nagpout ako. "Nakaplan kaya tayo, remember? Pero kidding aside, nakaalis ka na ba?" tanong ko sakanya. "Well, yes babe. Nasa sasakyan na ako. Osya, baba ko na 'to kita tayo mamaya. Ingat sa pagdrive may mga bata kang pasahero." paalala niya na naman.

"Opo Mrs. Aguas, ingat ka rin po! Love you!" sabi ko naman sakanya. "Love you too! Bye!" sabi niya kaya nagbabye naman ako sakanya at inend call niya na. My wife's so fond of reminders although she never nags naman kaya nga ang swerte ko sa asawa ko noh kaya naman ayoko gumawa ng maling move na makakasakit sakanya.

Ilang sandali lamang ay dumating na kami sa school, I parked the car in the usual spot. I used to stay in this school. Actually, kaming dalawa ni Shar nung high school nga lang. Kasi nga diba, we met in grade six when her father died. I didn't even know my parents enrolled me to the same school she was staying in.

 I went out of the car and got their bags. Afterwards, I opened the kids' door. "Get your butts off the car seat kiddos!" I said. Agad naman silang bumaba habang nag-pPSP at nag-aipad. Agad naman akong umubo kunwari at nilahad ang palad ko sakanila. "What is it daddy?" tanong ni Sam. I raised an eyebrow. "Hand them down." I said referring to the gadgets. "BUT DA-" I cut them off  "NOW!"

Wala na silang choice kundi ibigay sakin ang gadgets nila. Ayaw kasi namin ni Shar na maaddict sila sa mga games na ganito. It's not that we're too tight but it's just that we want to teach them how to be responsible as early as now. I placed their gadgets in the car and walked them to the gate. When we reached the gate, I bade them goodbye.

"See you later kiddos!" I said. "BYE DADDY!" they said in unison and kissed me both in the cheeks before rushing in. "Be careful!" I reminded before they disappeared into the premises. I just shook my head. Lumalaki na nga ang mga anak ko pero mas kumulit naman sila. I walked my way back to the car and left for work.

Shar's POV:

I'm now in my office running through some of my paperworks. May mga proposals, reports and other presentations na kailangan asikasuhin. This is mainly the reason why ayaw ni Nash na magtrabaho ako noon kasi nga sobrang busy ko at ayaw niya akong mastress. Kaya naman, mahaba-habang usapan ang nangyari bago niya ako pinayagan.

Usapan nga ba yun? -_- Ah basta! In short umandar ang pagiging kissing monster ni mister kaya ko siya napapayag. Ano siya, hindi ko pinamimigay ang mga halik ko ng libre noh! :p Bahala siya sa buhay niya! Dahil diyan, eto nako at back to work na! I know it's hard to juggle family with work pero kinakaya ko naman basta't nandiyan ang pamilya ko...ang buhay ko...

As I was facilitating my business here, my intercom rang. I pressed the answer button when my secretary, Dianne spoke. " Good Morning mam!" sabi niya. I smiled and said "Morning too Dianne! What do you need by the way?" I asked. "Uhm, mam if you're not busy po may client po rito." Wala naman atang nagset ng appointment ah. "Did she set an appointment with me?" I asked again. 

"Eh yun na nga po mam eh. She didn't set an appointment with you kasi urgent daw if you're willing naman po to talk with her." May sched pa ba ako? "If wala na akong sched Dianne, papasukin mo siya." I instructed her. "Wala na naman po mam. Should I let her in now?" I nodded and said "Sure! Bring her in." By then, I shut the intercom off.

A few moments later, I heard someone knock on the door. "Come in!" I said while working on my paperworks. I heard the door open. Nakasubsob pa rin ako sa mga papeles sa desk ko kaya hindi ko pa nakikita ang mukha ng kliyente. "Lomg time no see...Mrs. Aguas" she greeted which made me shiver.

SHIT! 

I know that was a bad word but thet fact that she sounded like someone I knew was worse than cussing infront of my kids...

I slowly raised my head up and I was right. She's stil the old her. All the more when a smirk crept up her face. And right then and there, I knew things would start to get different...

I smiled at her fakely and mentioned the name I dreaded to say for years...

"Alexa."

Nash's POV:

 "Meeting Adjourned" I announced to the leaders of the different departments of my company. Nagkaroon kasi kami ng meeting tungkol sa mga plano at projects namin sa kumpanya. Umalis na ang lahat at ako na lamang ang natira sa board room. I am currently studying one of the proposals when somebody spoke up. 

"Busy natin ah?" Deym! Is it who I thing it is? Paano kaya 'to nakapasok dito?

I slowly raised my head to face one of my greatest nightmare smirking at me with pride. I simply smirked back and sarcastically said his name...

"Jairus."
