(NP: Never had a dream come true by S Club 7)

Life was never easy. Para sa akin, para sa ating lahat. For me, I don't just wanna survive, I wanna live... live a life I deserve. Live a life because that is what everyone deserves... to live and be happy.

I smiled while looking at my son who is now laughing with Yudin. I can't help but to feel happy because Daven is very prim when it comes to others. Hindi siya ganun ka masiyahin, he is only care free when he is with Yudin... he seems like he found another twin sa katauhan ni Yudin na pinsan niya.

"Someone looks happy." Napatingin ako sa bandang kanan ko nang marinig ko ang boses ni Fely, my twin brother's wife.. I'm so glad that she's okay. Halos hindi ako mapalagay nung nalaman ko ang kalagayan niya. Mabuti nalang at nandun si Devin para pakalmahin ako ng mga panahong iyon.

"Who wouldn't be? Look at our family, Fel... it's perfect!" nakangiti kong sabi. Mabuti nalang at masaya na kaming lahat ngayon.

"Yes, it is. I'm so happy to have you all." Di ko mapigilang masiyahan pa... Fely and I, we had the same life, we shared the same pain, agony... for yeard. We fought to live, to survive not just because of ourselves but also because of our families, the love of out lives...

"Mommy!!" Napalingon ako sa pinanggalingan ng boses na iyon, isang maliit na batang babae ang nagtatakbo papunta sa gaei ng babaeng katabi ng kakambal ko. Oh? She's here?

"Hindi ka ba nagseselos sa dalawang yan?" I asked Fely out of curiousity.

Mabilis naman sigang umiling tsaka ngumiti habang nakatingun sa dalawa, "Nope, she's a treasure I treasure, Val. Without her, hindi magiging buo ang lovr story namin ni Vairel." Naguguluhan man ay napangiti nalang ako. I bet she saw something in her too, I guess?

"Hi! Hello!" Napangiti kaming lahat sa may harapan nang marinig namin ang boses ni Heirice doon. Nasa tabi niya si Ashan na isa sa mga kambal na anak nina Ashton at Sia, pati na tin si Gizzy na nak-piggyback ride pa kay Ashan.

"Hello!!!" Bati naman ng mga kabataang naka-upo sa damuhan and with kabataan, that means Yudin, Ara and Yuan's son, Athoan, Athan and Yoana's son, Madrien, Mara and Andrei's, Toffie, Mau and Heidi's eldest, Varinel and Varelin, Aire and Fely's twins and of course, Thyon.

"We are here because we want to sing a special song for everyone!" Heirice said in an excited tone. Mukhang excited na ata talagang kumanta.

"Yes!" it was the other kids who cheered, nakakatuwang panoorin na nagkakasundo sila just like us, their parents.

"Dj! Play the music!" Heirice shouted kaya naman ay napalingon ako sa gawi ng may mga speakers, natawa nalang ako nang makita ko doon si Athan na nagpapaka-DJ talaga, may suot pa siyang head phones at nagba-bounce-bounce pa. I was expecting to hear a lively music pero napalingon nalang ako sa gawi ng asawa ko na ngayon ay nakahawak na sa dalawang kamay ko.

A soft melody started to play, mahina lang pero alam na alam ko na kung ano ang kantang 'to. Hindi man ako ganun kagaling kumanta ay gustong-gusto ko talaga ang isang 'to.

"These kids.." naibulong ko nalang sa sarili ko dahil dahan-dahan nang kumakanta ang mga bata.

I have to be honest, medyo sintunado si Heirice at siya iyong may sobrang lakas na boses sa kanilang lahat ngayon next to her is Ashan who seems to be enjoying so much, si Ashi naman ay mukhang bagot na bagot na at napipilitang lang tumayo doon kasama ang mga pinsan niya pero kumakanta pa rin naman siya. He's even holding Varelin and Varinel's hands who's seems to be bored as well.

Everybody's got something
They had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday
That just seems to grow with time
There's no use looking back, or wondering
How it could be now or might've been
All this I know
But still I can't find ways to let you go
