Totally Unexpected (JeMik FanFic)

Chapter 2

Mika's POV

It has been 4 years since I had Ice. Hindi madaling magpalaki ng anak lalo na kapag mag-isa ka lang. After giving birth, I worked in an advertising agency at doon pa rin ako nagtatrabaho hanggang ngayon. Nakakapagod man ang trabaho, I still make sure that I spend quality time with my son.

My relationship with my family got better. Kahit papano, kinakausap na ko ni Daddy. It may not be the same as before, pero mabuti na to kesa hindi niya ako kausapin. Hindi pa rin sila nakakauwi ng Pilipinas ever since nagmigrate sila doon 6 years ago. Tanggap na rin nila Daddy si Ice pero hindi ko pa rin maiwasan kung minsan na isipin how I disappointed my parents so much.

I need to work doubly hard dahil magsisimula nang mag-aral si Ice sa pre-school next June. Tinutulungan pa rin ako ni Ara sa pag-aalaga sa anak ko. Kung minsan, sa kanya ko iniiwan si Ice kapag kailangan akong mag-overtime sa trabaho. I was also lucky enough na makakuha ng mabait na yaya for Ice. Yaya Sally has been with us since 3 months old pa lang si Ice.

Ice: "Mommy, papasok na ba ako sa school tomorrow?"

Mika: "No, baby. Sa June pa ang pasok mo. That's still 2 months from now."

Ice: "Matagal pa ba yun, Mommy? Excited na ako magschool eh..." (sabay pout)

Mika: "Sandali na lng yun, baby. Before you know it, papasok ka na sa school. For now, matulog ka na dahil susunduin ka ni Mama Ara tomorrow dahil mamasyal daw kayo."

Ice: "Talaga? Yeyyy! I'll go to sleep na Mommy." Tatakbo na sana papuntang room niya.

Mika: "Ooooppppss. Did you drink you milk na?"

Ice: "Yes, Mommy. Nanay Sally gave me my milk na kanina."

Mika: "Okay. May nakakalimutan ka yata..."

Ice: Nag-isip. "Hmmmm...Ohhhh! Goodnight, Mommy! I labbbbb you sooooo much! " Then he gave a long sweet kiss.

Mika: "Goodnight din baby. I love you toooo! Mwaahhhh. Tara, hatid na kita sa room mo."

Ice: "No need na Mommy. You have lots of work pa oh" (sabay turo sa work table ko na puno ng papers)

Mika: "Awww..ang sweet naman ng baby ko." Yes, maliit pa ang anak ko but he understands na I have to work para sa aming dalawa. "Nanay Sally, pakihatid na lng po si Ice sa room niya at patulugin niyo na rin po."

Sally: "Sige po, Ate. Tara na, Ice."

Ice: "Goodnight again Mommy. You rest na din after that ha."

Mika: "Yes, I will baby. Goodnight!"

Jeron's POV

I moved to my new house yesterday. Nakabili na ako ng sariling ko bahay mula sa mga kinita ko from playing basketball and sa mga endorsements ko. I still play for San Miguel Beermen and sa 4 years ko sa team, nakaka limang championships na rin ako. (3 conferences each year in the PBA)

At first, ayaw pa nina Mommy na bumili ako ng bahay but wala rin silang nagawa. I wanted to live independently and gusto ko rin makita yung mga pinaghirapan ko. I decided to check out our village. Nagkarating ako sa basketball court ng village and katabi nun ay isang playground.

I saw a kid playing around. He was really cute. I like kids. They can really make you smile kahit anong bigat ng problema mo. Makulit nga lng kung minsan. The cute boy was playing sa swing at tinutulak ng mahina nung yaya niya. I don't know what got into me at nilapitan ko sila. There is just something about the kid.

Jeron: "Hello, little boy!"

Ice: "Hello din po!"

Jeron: "Bago lang kasi ako dito, and wala pa akong masyadong kakilala. Pwede ba akong makipag-kaibigan sa'yo?"
