Sitting beside the shore. Strong wind blowing her hair away.
The weather is much like my emotions right now. Strong and unpredictable.
Reached for her foot.
Ouch! Sakitparin ah. What a twist for a vacation.
Memories flashed back suddenly.
(When Adriane caught her when she almost fell off the bed with his strong arms. When her head was closer to his broad and toned chest. When her lip is an inch closer to his while they exchange breaths. When he showed a subtle concern and gave her a bowl of soup. His eyes, his gaze, his scent, his everything crawl in her memories)
What was that all about?
Shake her head.
Jamie! That's just a gesture of gratitude alright? Just a plain simple token for helping his kid out. Nothing more.
Breathe in and out.
Tita Jamie!
Addie runs towards her.
Addie?! Addie! Oh, what are you doing here?
Gasping for air. Seated beside Jamie.
Eh Tita I was searching for you sa clinic lumabaskanapala.
Um, yes. Duonlang ako natulog kagabi because dizzy sitita, but I am fine now.
Ah. Alright.
Teka, baka tumakas ka nanaman sa Daddy and Mommy mo ah.
Nope! I asked permission potita.
Talaga ah!
Yes po.
Brushes of the child's hair.
Uhm. Tita Jamie?
Yes?
How do you find my Dad?
Shook. Eyes widened. Confused.
What do you mean Addie?
Um. I'm wondering why my mother left him. Kasi I look up to my Dad, He is the best Dad in the world.
Still confused. Restrained herself to ask questions.
Addie, look at Tita Jamie. I find your Dad as a SUPER DAD!
Addie got confused.
Kidding aside. Well, I don't know your Dad, but I am sure that you are the most precious one in his life. Regardless of who he is, I know he has a big heart for you.
Really? How would you know?
Because Tita Jamie has a baby too. And she's filling every part of my heart.
Um. Okay.
Your dad loves you Addie.
I love my Daddy too.
Great!
Um. Tita Jamie?
Yes?
I want a second mother.
Laughed.
Addie, why would you want a second mother? You have your mom already.
No, I mean, My Dad will soon marry another lady because he deserves to be happy.
Daze and confused.
Are you married Tita? Please say you aren't.
Ah... Huh?
Because if I were to choose someone for my daddy? I would choose you.
