Mine 58
KassiHalos madaling araw na ay hindi pa tapos mag flashback kaya nauna na akong pumasok sa kwarto ni Mark. Duon ako matutulog kasama ang mga bata at mga anak ni JB.
"Hey Areum, what's wrong?" Tanong ko kay Areum na nakatulala lang
"Wala po, tita. I just miss umma" sagot nito at yumakap sa akin
"Areum, alam mo naman na busy si umma diba? Hayaan mo baby girl namimiss ka na din ni umma" sinuklay suklay ko ang buhok nito hanggang sa tumahan ito. "Bukas gusto mo mamasyal tayo? Mag bonding tayo ng dalawa lang tayo! Gusto mo ba yun Areum?" Napatingin ito sa akin at ngumiti.
"Talaga po? Tayong dalawa lang po ang aalis? Walang Iseul? Walang Drew at Drei?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong nito
"Syempre! Para naman hindi ka malungkot. Wag ka na ulit iiyak ha? Pag nalulungkot ka, tignan mo lang si Iseul. Love your brother, okay?"
Kakapatulog ko pa lang kay Areum ng pumasok nanaman sa kwarto si Halle. I still don't want to talk to her after what happened. I think it's not yet time. The wounds are still fresh and it still hurts.
"Tapos mo na ba ayusin yung mga gamit ni Drew?" Tanong nito at umupo sa harap ko
"Ah, oo naayos ko na. Tapos sinusulat ko pa lang yung schedule ng pag-inom niya ng gamot, measurements ng milk niya and everything" i answered and smiled at her
Kahit pagbali-baliktarin ko ang mundo, Junior is Drew's father and Halle will be his future mother. I'm not really sure if Halle is really fine with the fact that Junior has a son. I know it hurts for her. She's been following Junior around for years already and having the fact that the one you love has a child, it's just too much.
"You're so lucky, Kass" she looked at me and I can see sadness and sorrow in her eyes. "You are given a chance to be a mother" I was shocked when she cried infront of me. "Twice, Kassi. Twice! I asked God to give me strength to go on, Kassi, and He didn't failed me. I became extremely happy. And I am really thankful but then He took it back. He took my happiness back, Kassi." I hugged her immediately when she sobbed.
I can't fully understand her but I know what she's feeling. It's a feeling of a mother.
I woke up in the middle of the night when someone entered the room. Idinilat ko ang mga mata ko and saw Junior fixing the way Halle sleeps and slept beside her. I saw him caress Halle's hair and kissed her head. Now he knows his real feelings. I am happy for him. I am happy for everyone who found their happiness.

The next morning, I woke up earlier than the usual because of Iseul. I took him outside for the sunlight
I sat on the swing and looked at the sky. My decision is right. Everything went well and everything is in the right path. I hope it will never end.
"Ang aga mo naman magsenti" napalingon ako ng tumabi sa akin si Mark
"Maaga lang ako nagising dahil kay Iseul" sagot ko at ngumiti siya sa akin
"You've change a lot. Ever since I left you, you grew up" I didn't answer. Silence ate the both of us. "I didn't know that being a mother will make you responsible"
Hinampas ko muna ang braso nito na ikinatawa namin pareho. "Hindi ba ako responsible dati?"
"Hindi ka nga naghuhugas ng plato dati! But now, you're changing diapers, taking care of JB's children, washing the babies clothes, working, and even studying!"
"We are not getting any younger, Mark. You'll be 24 soon. And I'm turning 23 in a week"
"Yes time flies so fast. I can still clearly remember what happened to my 23rd birthday. You surprised me with Andrei. And now, you have Andrew."
"Are you mad because of what I did, Mark? Are you mad because I got pregnant with your co-member?"
He sighed before he answered
"I'm not mad at you, Kassi. You fell out of love, and I did too. I fell out of love too, Kassi"

Papa Tuan
Ano ba yan ang aga aga nawawala yung bagito kong anak! Yung anak niya nakatulala nanaman.
Kung hindi ko pa nakitang naglalakad ito sa sala ay hindi ko mapapansing gising na ito. Wala manlang kaiyak iyak! Hindi tulad ni bagito na iyakin
"Nasaan na ba ang daddy mo, apo?" Tinignan lang ako nito. "Nakalimutan na ata na may anak na siya! Ilalabas na lang nuna kita ha? Para maarawan ka ang putla mo mana ka sa mommy mo"
Daldal lang ako ng daldal at asa pa akong sagutin ako ni Drei. Bago pa man ako tuluyang makalabas ay nasilip ko na si bagito at Kassi na magkatabi sa swing. Hindi ko lang sigurado kung gising sila.
Nakasandal ang ulo ni Kassi kay bagito at ang ganda nila tignan. Bagay na bagay talaga silang dalawa. Hayy sana naman magkabalikan na silang dalawa
