Me, Chiari and the three kids are here in the mall. Naisip din kasi namin na dapat sigurong mag liwaliw muna kami to enjoy ourselves at para makapag bonding narin. Binilhan din namin ng stroller si Deanna at Denver para naman hindi kami mapagod kakakarga and Chiari's holding Dions hands.
"Mom look!" shouted Dion while pointing at a building made of lego bricks.
"You want that Dion?" Asked Chiari and Dion nodded.
Chiari bought the toy. Habang mas tumatagal mas nagiging magka close sila ni Chiari, tinatawag na nga niyang son o di kaya'y anak minsan eh. Kina-career na nilang dalawa and I'm glad that they're getting along so well.
We were eating at a fine dining restau right now. We are enjoying the food when Chiari excused himself for his personal nessesity. Diom is serving himself while I'm feeding the two babies. Come to think of it, we actually look like a happy family. I always wanted to have one cause I never had one. Pero sa panaginip nalang din siguro mangyayari yun dahil hindi naman kami pwedeng magsama ni Nicholas. It's against the law.
We were almost done eating when I heard two girls gossiping about something behind me. I looked at them. Isang babaeng may brown at mahaba ang buhok at ang isa naman ay may itim na curly ang buhok. They were holding a magazine.
The girl pointed at a certain guy in the magazine."It's true! That's the guy who is dating Nathalie!" Said the girl who has a curly hair.
"Omg seriously? How come ypu knew?" Asked the girl with the long brown hair.
"I told you my dad is an investor in he's company and I even saw them together sa isang company party nung gabing sinama din ako ni dad."
Gusto ko sanang tingnam ang lalaking tinutukoy nila kaya lang bigla nalang dumating si Chiari.
After we left the restau dumaan muna kami sa isang boutique na puro pambaby and we bought clothes for tge three of them. Nasospoiled na nga ni Chiari eh.
"Let's go?" I asked them and Chiari nodded.
We were on our way papuntang parking lot when Dion said he left his Lego set kaya binalikan ulit ni Chiari and we waited sa benches sa labas ng Red Ribbon and I saw a familiar guy standing at an ice cream stall.
"KEN!" I shouted.
He looked at me with his eyes widing.
"YANAH!" He shouted back and came running towards me and hugged me.
He's the same guy I left a year and a half ago. Still wierdo guy but somethings change. He looked happy.
"Yanah! Where have you been? You just left and no one knows where you go." He said so fast.
I just chuckled. "I was just you know, unwinding."
"Unwiding? For a year and a half? Iba ka talaga." He laughed after saying that but then interrupted by Dion's question.
"Who are you?" Dion askes broadly. Medyo na shock pa nga ng kaunti si Ken eh. Hindi kasi agad nakasagot.
"Ugh.. sino to?"
I smiled at him. "He's Dion. He's my child and this is Deanna amd Denver, they're also my kids."
He looked at me. "What!?" He said without any voice coming out from his mouth.
"That's what I wanted to tell you nung tinawagan mo ako sa phone kaya lang hindi ka naman sumagot tapos nung tinawagan kita ulit cannot be reach na." I explained.
He still look stunned. Gusto kong matawa sa mukha niya. Super priceless.
"P-pero pa-pa-"
"I'm here! Oh Pare!" Chiari interrupted. Dala dala niya yung naiwan na Lego set ni Dion.
"Chiari? Why are you here?" Jen looked at me and to Chiari and to the kids. Oh no I know what he meant with those looks.
"No-no it's not what you think it is. Hindi si Chiari ang ama ng mga anak ko okay?" He looked at me with a confuse look.
Argh. Ang hirap naman nito.
"You know what guys? Mamaya nalang kayo mag-usap pagdating natin sa bahay naiinip narin ang mga bata oh." Sabi ni Chiari

"So.. hindi mo talaga anak to?" Ken asked after I explained to him everything.
"Yes." I answered him directly.
He just nodded. I don't know why but I'm feeling nervous right now. Ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko at hindi ko alam kung bakit parin ako kinakabahan eh dapat naman hindi na ako kabahan. Hibdi naman siguro na malalaman pa ni Ken kung ano ang totoo.
"S-si Chiari ang tumatayong ama?" Ken asked again and I nooded.
Eversince dumating kami sa Manila si Chiari na talaga ang tumayong ama ng mga bata. He's doing the job in which Nicholas should do.
After that no one dared to talk.
"I'm hungry." Dion said standing behind Ken. Hindi ko napansin na nasa likod na pala siya ni Ken.
"Come on baby. I'll prepare some food for us." I said and then we walked to the kitchen.
I was preparing sandwiches when Dion asked me. "Ma, who is he?"
I took almost a minute before I answered."H-he is my f-friend." Dion just nodded.
I'm still nervous. Nervous that things might get fuck up. People from my past are coming back right now.
"He looked...familiar." he stated.
I looked at him after he said that. Familiar? How come Ken looked familiar to Dion? As far as I know-nevermind.
"H-huh? Bakit naman?"
"I don't know.. I think I saw him before po oh baka naman kamukha niya lang." He said then grab one sandwich.
"B-baka nga kamukha lang baby. Don't mind him nalang baby. Mabuti pa dalhan mo nalang ng food ang Papa Chiari at Tito Ken mo." I said as I give him the tray.
I looked at Dion while walking away from the kitchen. I sighed. I don't know what to do if something goes wrong to this perfect life I have right now. I just hope everything will fall into it's place again.
