My baby would be turning one next month already. This melancholic feeling in me made me more sad and doubtful knowing that sooner or later, he would be growing up into a man and would explore the world, get a job, and would eventually move out from our house.
I was hesitant to face the reality but for the bright future of my baby, I would do anything for him.
I have enough money saved in the bank and I have already planned the theme for my baby's birthday party. Daniel offered to take care of the expenses but I refused. He didn't fight anymore because he knew he wouldn't win, instead, he suggested to take care of the technical stuffs such as the lights and sounds, and the picture takings.
I got so ecstatic for this big day for my baby. I even had a special planner so I could easily organized the things needed for the party.
I already sent invitations to my son's godmothers and godfathers, and their kids. Some of Daniel's employees would also be coming. They were very fond of my baby and sometimes watched him whenever Daniel brought him to his office.
I hadn't heard of Richard lately. Well, I had completely ignored his calls and emails, so probably he already got tired of trying to reach me and that made him stop finally.
I don't want to think of him anymore. The sex that we had was just because of lust. He could just call any other woman to fulfill his needs. No woman would dare to decline such a handsome and rich man. And unfortunately, I was a fool to be one of them.
I was currently at the mall buying things for my baby. Daniel was taking care of him at home. He let me shop so I could finish buying the stuffs we needed for my baby's birthday.
I had been roaming around the mall for 4 hours now so I decided to call Daniel.
"Hello, Danny?"
"Hi, Dawny? How are you doing there?"
"Everything's good. I'm almost finish. Tumawag lang ako para kamustahin kayo. Si miggy?"
"He has been very behave and always looking cute." He said while giggling. He must have tickled my baby because I could hear my baby's laughs.
Suddenly, I heard my baby babbling like somebody was playing with him. I could sense that it was not Daniel. I stopped to listen more.
"Dan? Where are you?" I asked.
"We went out for a while. Ahm... Nasa park kami ngayon. Oo, tama!" Daniel sounded nervous. Even on the phone, I know Daniel very well. I could feel and sense my own brother.
"Dawny, we have to go now. I will be touring this cute baby around." He exclaimed.
"Okay."
I was hesitant to end the call. I wanted to ask Daniel of who was with them but the call had already ended. I didn't bother myself anymore. I continued roaming around the mall until I got exhausted.
I went home at around 5pm and I found Daniel sleeping on the couch with my baby laying on his chest securely wrapped around his uncle's arms. The television was on. They must had been watching cartoons again.
I slowly closed the door and tipped on my toes.
"Danny, gising na." He slowly opened his eyes while I took my sleeping baby from him.
My baby moved slightly and I hummed so he could get back to sleep. I kissed his head before putting him on the crib.
When I went outside the bedroom, I found Daniel talking on his phone in a very low voice and he winked at me. I giggled and sticked my tongue out.
