ILIA'S POV

Nanlamig ako sa takot when he told me he wants to sleep with our son. Eisen was so happy when he heard that.

Hindi na siya mailayo pa kay Chris. He told him every stories he could tell. At ito ang ayoko. Na umasa ang anak ko na magkakabuong pamilya kami.

Eisen's intelligence is so ahead of other kids his age kaya walang gustong makipag laro sakaniyang ka edaran niya. He ask questions about a lot of things at ako lang ang kalaro niya lagi. He likes older people and seeing Chris who talks intellectually attracted him big time.

Maging ang mga pinsan niyon ay sabik sa kaniya and asked me how he got that intelligent.

"I won't leave my son to you." I chewed inwardly. Nakita ko agad ang galit sa mukha ni Chris.

"Why not? Akala mo gaya mo ko?" He snided. His expression was a bit offensive. "Like some wrench who'd just run without a word?" He whispered.

Wrench.

I pursed my lips as I try to stop my tears from flowing.

"Here's what you'd do. You sleep with us and act like we are okay. That's just pretty much it."

"Naiintindihan ko na galit ka sakin but please refrain from insulting me too, Chris."

"Why Montero?" He raised his brow and walked towards me. The way he calls me 'Montero' reminds me of how I should have been his Mrs. Santidad by now. "Did I say anything that's not true?" Painosente niyang tanong na para bang hindi nya ko ininsulto kanina.

"Stop your games, Chris. Akala mo ba nakakatulong--"

"ME? PLAYING A GAME?" Tinuro niya ang sarili niya na may halong inis. "AKO BA? E DIBA AKO NGA TO'NG PINAGLARUAN MO?" He inched his face closer to mine.

I swallowed hard. "That's not true." Nangingilid na ang mga luha ko.

"You want to know what's TRUE?" He asked under his breath. "I WISH I NEVER LEFT DION FOR YOU."

Matigas niyang tono at saka humakbang na palayo. I was dumbfounded at that painful words. Halos hindi ako makahinga sa sinabi niya. I stop breathing as if my tears will stop with it. I could feel the sting in my eyes.

He stopped again midstep at muling humarap.

"One more thing. When Eisen is not around, "ATTY. SANTIDAD" is the proper way to address me." Aniya sa matigas na tono. May shoulder fell.

Pagka alis na pagka alis niya ay siyang pagtulo ng mga luha ko.

Ang sakit na pagsalitaan niya ko ng ganon...

But I have no choice and I understand.

Wala akong karapatang magalit...

But him telling me he wished he never left Dion for me was a huge blow in the heart...

Because I never regret loving him...

I calmed myself down and try not to let Eisen know the tension between me and his Dad.

Chris transferred us to the executive hotel suite. Inaayos ko na ang gamit namin at oras na para paliguan ang prinsipe ko.

"Chris, it's time for your bath." Malambing kong ngiti. I forgot there was two Chris in the room. Nakita ko ang pagtaas ng noo ng isa pang Chris. I should get used to calling our son Eisen instead.

Tumatawang tumakbo si Eisen papunta sa likod ng Daddy niya. Here we go again.

" Baby. Tara na. Please. Let's take a bath."
