Kylie

     I was all ready for this night. White dress, not so high heels, and styled hair. It was a few minutes ago when I got a text from Ruru saying that he's already at the living room. Pretty early. I walked out my room and stepped down the stair case.

     "Tito Ruru, saan naman po kayo pupunta ni mommy?" I heard that Athena asked him a question. I looked at them. Ruru was sitting on the couch and Athena was standing up close to him. That's a cute picture to see.

     "Sa date lang naman, Athena. You know what that is?" Ruru answered her and I walked towards them and they looked at me.

     "Mommy." Athena smiled at me and I smiled back at her. She's sweet, like him. I can see it now.

     "Kylie." Ruru called and smiled like me. I looked at him and he walked closer to me. I straightened my poster.
     "Para sa'yo." He added and handed me a bouquet of flowers. Juliet flowers, blue and white roses, and tulips, those ate the flowers in the bouquet. My kind of flowers. That made me smile even more.

     "Thank you, Ruru." I said and accepted the bouquet of flowers. I can see by his eyes that he's looking at me, looking at me not just in the eyes. He's fully looking at my whole body.
     "Ngayon, masasabi mo na ba sa akin kung saan tayo pupunta?" I asked him and he just smirked at me. Last time I asked, he said it was a surprise.

     "It's a surprise, Kylie. Wag ka nang makulit. Hindi mo naman iyon mailalabas sa akin." He answered me. Okay then, I know Athena is looking at us and I looked at her. She's still smiling at us. I knelt to level with her.

     "Mommy, you're going away again?" She asked me and I nodded as an answer. She pouted.

     "Sina lolo at lola naman ang mag-aalaga muna sa'yo, sweetie." I answeeed and she nodded as she signaled me that she want to whisper something to me.

     "Mommy, magkaka-daddy na po ba ako? Si Tito Ruru po." She whispered to my ear. I immediately looked at her again and she is currently smiling at me when she said that.

     "Saan mo naman nakuha iyan, anak? We're still friends." I answered and asked her. She laughed softly. I know she's talking about him right now.

     "Kay Tito Lance po. He said that I will have a daddy soon. Si Tito Ruru po iyon. At gusto ko po ng baby sibling. Para po may kalaro ako." She answered and pouted again. Kuya Lance, what have you done?! Athena is not going to stop bugging me about it now. And this is not even the first time. But I know, I also want Ruru to be her father. She always wanted one and now she's expecting one.

     "We'll see, sweetie." I said as I stood up and looked at Ruru again.

     "Okay ka na, Kylie? Shall we go?" He asked me. I nodded and kissed Athena's forehead before we went oit the house to his car.

     "Kylie." He called me again. I love hearing my name being pronounce by his voice. This never happened before. I usually look at him from a far when we were at college, but now we're here, just the two of us. Even if we've been together alone, it's not as with feelings as this one. Or is it just me?

     "Hmm?"

     "You are so beautiful. Do you know that?" He said. I can feel my face turning red. That God that it's a little dark and it's only six.

     "T-thanks. Nambobola ka lang eh." I said back at him. He didn't reply. I like this comfortable silence. It's not awkward in anyway.

     "Alam mo, hindi ko kailan man naisip na darating sa ganito. Tadhana talaga 'no? Pero ang saya ko na ngayon." I'm affected by what he said. That his words are saying something. He's happy and I'm also happy, and me too, I never thought this would happen. I was covered with bad expectations of what he would think if I confess and that's probably the reason why I kept it to myself and my friends.

     "Oo nga eh. At masaya din ako." I looked at him. He's focused on the road.

     "Ang haba ng panahon na minahal mo ako, Kylie." He said and I bit my lower lip. Keep your cool, Kylie. He just said that and that really is saying something. I did love him for a very long time and once in my life I worked hard to surpress the pain that is still running through me. I thought that if my mind was flooded by work, I could keep the pain away, but when he came back, all of my concentration left my system and he's the only thing left in my mind and heart. One time, I was so in pain because the man I loved the most left and I was scared that he is the only one.

"I really did. Mahal talaga kita eh."
