Rj didnt made it to EB today and we are all wondering why. Ni hindi ito nag 'seen' at rereply sa group chat namin with the dabarkads. No one dared call him to ask thou.

Ruby: First time ito. Baka naman bakasyon with Misis?

Ryan: Magsasabi yon for sure. He's always excited when it comes to Nia no? Daming kwento.

Bossing: Baka kay Mr.T nagpaalam?

JDL: Tawagan nyo kaya? Lahat tayo dito clueless eh.

Pia: Meng? Baka nakwento ni Alden?

Maine: Hindi po eh.

Just then, Mr. T came and was greeted by everyone.

Ryzza: Tatay, absent po si Kuya Alden?

Mr.T: Ha? Hindi. Hindi nyo ba alam? Start ng leave nya today.

Pauleen: Ayun naman pala, baka nag last bakasyon grande with the missus bago dumating ang Baby nila.

Mr.T: Actually, faternity leave nya.

All: 😲

TiteSen: Ibig sabihin?

Mr.T: Nag-post na si Alden ah? Galing kami don actually.

All of them started fumbling their fones and then a sequence of 'OMG!'.

All are gushing to what they saw, exchanging comments.

I finally had the courage to open my fone and open my IG app. And the first post in my news feed was Rj's.

It was Nia, ugly crying while in what looks like in a state of labor. It was captioned:

'You just look a thousand times beautiful in my eyes today, Mahal. You are the bravest and strongest and I love you so much! I thank God everyday for giving me you. Hindi nako makapaghintay na mas iparamdam sayo kung gaano ako kasaya at kung gaano kita kamahal.'

My heart ache for the chance I let slip from my hands. That should be me..

Next post was from Rizza, it was close up picture of Rj and Nia looking their newborn baby on Nia's arms. Both are in tears but smiling brightly.

'Today, these two just made our family a plus one bigger. Cant wait to see you two cry because of sleepless nights! 🤣 Thank you, ate @ niafaulks, for making my Kuya a hundred times happiers each day. We love you! Lalo na ako. So, Philippines, World and Universe, may I now present to you, the newest addition to the Faulkerson family,

Yyo Mallory Villan-Faulkerson 👶

Welcome to our crazy but loving family, Pamangkin! Enjoy your stay! (wala ka naman choice. 😂)'

Rizza. We used to be close. Were like sisters! And seeing how close she is to Nia makes me feel envious.

The two photos posted by Rizza and Rj were screen cap. and used by netizens. Some are tagging me saying 'ito yung sinayang mo', 'that should be you', 'mas bagay kayo'. ETC ! ETC!

I sigh and put down my fone. I was about to keep it in my pocket when it vibrates, signaling a new message arrive. It was from Rj.

It is a picture of his Baby Boy, upclose. Unlike the ones posted, hindi nila pinakiya yung face.

The baby is cute. Bow lips, chubby cheeks, and dimple hinting. He's RFJ all in all.

' Hi, Ninang Maine! My name is Yyo, am cute like Daddy, right?'

Ninang..

It could have been better if that's 'Mommy' right?
