Raphael's P. O. V.

Fck Sht! Puetek bakit ganun? Nung nakita ko siyang bigla nalang tumayo at akmang yayakapin yung kumag na yun bigla kumulo dugo. Sht! Nagseselos ako! Bwist! Ano naman kasi magagawa ko, mahal ko pa yung tao eh?

Nakakainis pa dun hindi naman siya naging ganun ng una niya akong nakita ah? Pero sa bagay nasa plane kami nun pero kanina nung nakita niya ulit ako wala man lang konting affection. Fck! Akala ko ba mahal niya ako. Putek eh para namang ni minsan hindi niya ako minahal. Ganun ba siya kagalit sa akin na she's acting as if we didn't had a past.

Putek talaga putek! Sa sobrang selos ko siya pa napagbuntungan ko. Tanga! Ang tanga ko talaga pero diba nga lahat ng nagmamahal nagpakakatanga. Oo alam ko ilang years na ang nakalipas pero ano magagwa ko eh sa siya ang first love ko, first love never dies kaya and alam ko din na true love can bury it alive pero pano kung she's my first love and my true love.

Pero alam niyo kung saan ako napangiti? Sa sobrang selos ko I said na I'm her husband kahit hindi naman pero I'll make sure na in the future magiging husband niya talaga ako. Putek! Ngayon na nakita ko siya I won't make the same mistake as what I did before putek buti nalang din pala hindi natuloy kasal namin ni Liza. Sht! Umaayon ang tadhana sa akin kaya naman I won't let this chance slip.

Nacut nalang ako sa plan making ko when she emotionless said, "I'll just feed Sophie."  Sht! Galit na ata talaga siya. Sabagay ikaw ba naman ang hindi sagutin nung nagtanong ka, hindi ka ba mapipikon. Kasi ako napipikon na ako sa ganun eh? Napapasigaw na ako. Pinasamahan ko pa siya ng mga bodyguards ko na magbabantay sa door sa labas para yung dalawang bodyguards niya sa loob. Putek! Baka kasi mamaya bigla pa pumasok yung kumag na yun. Sht! Talaga. Kailanagn ko magpalamig ng ulo kaya naglaro nalang kami ng anak ko.

Childish ba? Bata pa naman talaga ako ah? At saka minsan lang kami magbonding ng anak ko kaya every possible time and way dapat sulitin. Junior ko kaya 'to. Hindi man sa name pero he's a mini version of me. Kaya if I get a chance I'll teach him how to be brave. What I did before should not be repeated. Not now, not ever.

Kung ako sinuwerte makita siya ulit baka ang anak ko hindi na kaya dapat kapag nakita na niya huwag na niya pakawalan!

"Daddy what is taking Auntie Sara and Sophie so long?" Sabi ng anak ko. Nabobored na siguro 'to. Tumingin ako sa watch ko and totoo nga ang tagal na. Quarter to 3 na pala. Tumayo na ako at sinabi kay Rence that I'll just fetch his sister and Auntie. Nakita ko naman agad kung nasan sila because of my guards. Nagbow sila then knock on the door.

"Who's there?" Tanong nung isang bodyguard ni Belle. The difference between our bodyguards is that her guards are girls and a guy head guard while mine are all boys.

"It's Rapheal, can I come in?" Casual na tanong ko. "I'm sorry Mr. Mercedes but the young mistress and Miss Sophie are as sleep moreover my Miss is in no state to be seen by a guy." Sagot agad nung guard, syempre close pa rin yung door.

I ordered one of my guards to get Marge and in just a few seconds he was able to bring her. She knocked and said it's her. The door opened only for her figure to fit in and the door was once again closed.

Sara Belle's P. O. V.

I didn't realize na I, together with Sophie, fell asleep until I felt hands trying to fix my dress. At first, I freaked out but when I realize it was just Marge, I instantly calm down. I looked at the angel in my arms; she's really breath taking, so peaceful, like there's no problem to worry about. I shifted her so that her head is lying on my left shoulder.

We exited the room and what made me jumped back is that when I look in front after the door was opened Raphael stood there with a straight face. I just passed him like he was not even there. Pano ba naman kasi napakamoody one time nakangiti the next poker face na, as if I did something wrong naman kasi.
