Chapter 47

[Danilo POV]

 
Agad na inilabas ang cake bilang pagsisimula ng 5th birthday ni Rosslac. Akala ko isa lang na malaki pero nagulat na lamang ako ng bigla itong sinundan ng siyam pang malalaking cake na nakasulat lang ang happy birthday Rosslac from Mommy.

 
Agad na kaming kumanta ng birthday song, na siya namang sinabayan sa pag-awit ni Vivo na siyang may hawak ng mikropono. At ngayon ko lang narealize, basta pala maganda ang boses ay wala nang hiya na kumanta at magmicrophone. Nahiya tuloy ako na sintondo.
 

Matapos matagumpay na maihip ni Rosslac ang limang kandila sa sampong malalaking cake ay nagbigay ito ng message niya:
 
"I am very lucky because out of 300 million sperms, I am the greatest." kita mo na five years old palang alam na lahat kung ilan ang sperm cells ng tatay niya na pumasok kay nanay niya.

 
"From my past birthday, we always celebrated it with mommy and kuya Vivo through alms giving to the people experiencing poverty, hunger and thirstiness. This is my first time that mom made it sophisticated and classy. And I asked her, what is in this year that wasn't present in my previous birthday. And she happily answered, because your dad will join us this time together with your titos. And I thought of that as the greatest gift that a world could offer to a child like me, and that is a perfect family.
 
And while ago, I met the two titos that my mother always telling me in her stories. And she is right, those two titos who are Tito Danilo ad Tito Reykardo of mine are real humans and not machine just like the person pretended to be a Bayani after changing its surname to Hero. And now mom, I am calling your presence to stand beside me and announce to the public, who really my dad is.
 
May I present to all of you, my beautiful mother!"

 
At laking pagkagulat ko maging ni Reykardo at ni Lacsaman nang makitang umakyat sa entablado si Ms. Safarih na namumugto ang mga mata. Masaya nitong niyakap si Rosslac at hinalikan sa pisngi sabay bati ng, 'happy 5th birthday son'

 
At hinawakan na ni Ms. Safarih ang mikropono at tsaka nagsalita ng may napakanakakahalumaling na boses with British accent, "Good evening to all of you!", ang simpleng bati niya na nagdulot ng palakpakan ng lahat.
"I tried to hide my son from his real father because of my fear to face the possible consequences of my foolishness. I tried to disconnect all my relations that linked to my past. That is the reason why I failed to build the future I am dreaming of. Because I remember that, my two idiotic best friends and my inflexible yet caring professor who became my secret lover are the missing pieces of my future. Mr. Lacsaman Valero, please stand up", ang pakiusap ni Safirah.

 
At nagtatakang tumayo naman si Mr. Director.

 
At ipinagpatuloy na ni Ms. Safirah ang pagsasalita, "I don’t know if you'll believe to what I'll say. You may shout out of anger of just simply have the walked-out effect as a sign of disbelief, and you may smile if you do really believe on my revelation ", at lumingon siya kay Rosslac, "Son, that man standing in front of you.
 
 
….is your father."
