"Son do you want to talk?" Tanong ng tatay ni Ruru, tinawagan nya ito wala kasi syang makausap dito sa bahay nya and he still felt bad what happened with his son plus yung argument nya pa with Kylie.
This is all frustrating at pakiramdam nya kinakain sya nito ng buong-buo. Kaya gusto nya ng kausap.
"May problema ka ba?"
"Dad, when you and mom got divorced did you...I don't know, sinubukan mo bang makipagbalikan ulit?"
"Ba't mo naman natanong? What's going on?"
"Tskk, just answer the question... Please dad."
The dad sighed as Ruru wait for the answer.
"You have no idea. I tried, believe me son I did. Ibang klase kasi ang mommy mo nung youth days pa namin. Naalala ko nga noong highschool kami, hindi ko masabi na I like her kaya dinaan ko na lang sa video recording. Ohh, medyo lowtech pa nun pero I have one huh." Natawa si Ruru sa kayabangan ng tatay nya. His dad never change talaga. "Hayy nako... For me she's the most precious girl in the world ang tanga ko lang talaga para baliwalain sya ng ganun, I thought if I have all this money all this luxury..para mapunan ang pagkukulang ko? I'm wrong dahil up until now pinag sisisihan ko parin yung araw na tinalikuran ko kayo at sumama sa iba.
The voice on the other line cracked kaya alam ni Ruru na naiiyak ang tatay nya.
"Dad it's ok, I'm fine. We're fine, matagal na yun.."
"No, I'm sorry dahil napayaan ko kayo ng mom mo. I thought I got all the time of the world, hanggang sa nagulat ako I'm running out of time na pala. Pero alam mo ba ang pinaka hihinayangan ko?"
"What is it?"
"Yung sinukuan ko kayo agad, siguro kung nag hintay pako sa mom mo ng konti pa, we might still be a couple. You might have been in this perfect family." He heard a sniff followed by a chuckle. "But there's no such thing as perfect, sino bang niloko nila? Na sayo nalang yun if you want it to happen or don't. Wag mong gayahin ang daddy mo, if you feel like there's something worth fighting for? Do it, just do it, besides we don't have all the time in this world."
Ruru's not gonna lie this first serious, heart to heart talk he had with his dad. Never kasi na discuss ang issue ito sakanya, both of his parents iwas every time na he bring it up sa conversation nila.
Tama naman ang dad there's no perfect in this world. Hindi man perfect and dad nya hindi parin mag babago ang respeto nya dito bilang dad nya.
"I love you dad."
"I love you too, son."
That night ipinangako nya sa sarili nya na babangon sya at ilalaban nya ang nararamdaman nya para kay Kylie at hindi sya susuko ano man ang mangyari.
The first thing he did for the three days spare time nya is inasikaso nya ang investment na pinaplano nya for quite some time na at happy sya dahil finally approved nadin.
And next pinuntahan nya ang anak nya, Kylie obviously don't want to talk with him naiintindihan nya naman yun. On the bright side he's lucky enough dahil pinayagan padin sya ng nanay na makita ang anak nila.

."Kiki are you sure you're comfortable with him? Hindi ka naaasiwa?" Tanong ni Darren with a serious face pa.
"Asiwa talaga? Nakakatawa ka." Sagot ni Kylie with a chuckle.
"I'm serious, you can talk to me about your ex it's fine with me."
"Alam ko yun and thanks for being kind to me." Niyakap nya ito at hinalikan naman sya ni Darren sa noo.
The two has been dating for more than a year now, matagal-tagal nadin kasi nang mag kakilala sila. Pero hanggang ngayon wala padin silang label or whatsoever, madalas syang tanungin ni Darren about dito pero she always tell him na 'thankful sya na they found each other.'
Sabe???? Basta happy daw sila ganern....😏

."Hey Raffa... How are you feeling?" Tanong ni Ruru once na makaupo sya sa chair beside his son's hospital bed.
"I'm well na po thank you." Ngumiti si Raffa showing the same dimples he has.
"Baby daddy's sorry. I didn't know you're allergic to peanut."
"Ok na ko eh. Kaso mommy got so wowied. Iyak sya last night, kahit I told her I'm well na. You guys so weiyd, you kept saying sowwy."
Natawa si Ruru dahil ang anak nya para na daw matanda dahil sa expressions nito.
"That's what parents do kasi, and we love you."
"Daddy, away ba kayo ni mommy?"
"No may mga bagay lang kaming hindi mapag-kasunduan."
"Like what?"
"Long story baby eh, mabobore ka lang."
"I don't mind." Napailing nalang si Ruru, ang kulit kasi talaga ng anak nya habang patagal daw ng patagal lalong nagiging curious ang bata sa mga bagay-bagay. "Dapat kasi kiss mo na lang mommy eh."
"Huh?" Nahulat si Ruru at hindi kagad naka-react.
"Kiss.." Raffa used his small hands to reenact what kiss really mean is. "I do it whenevew she's sad ow upset, nag smile sya aftew nun. Now kiss mo sya pawa smile na sya sayo."
Raffa's suggestion is very tempting, and it sounded pretty simple pero alam ni Ruru na hindi yun ganong kadali.
"Thanks for the help Raffa pero hindi kasi ganung kadili yun eh."
"Why not?"
"Like I said it's a long story, but you'll understand it when you grow up."
"But I'm a big boy."
"No you're not."
"No I'm big boy na.." Pag pupumilit ng bata.
"Baby kapa kaya."
"Well fine then..." Nag pout ang bata at lalo naman natuwa ang tatay dahil ang cute daw nito mapikon, parang si Kylie.
Ruru pat his son's head. "Daddy just messing with you. You will be a big boy someday pero pwede wag muna ngayun..I just want my baby to be this cute."
At napuno ng tawanan ang kwarto ng bata dahil sa kulitan nilang mag-ama and Ruru want to cherish this sweet moment dahil gaya nga ng sabi ng dad nya: "We don't got all the time in this world..."
Kaya nanamnamin ni Ruru ito kapiling ang precious ng buhay nya, si Raffa.
