AMETHYST's POV

After buying some stuff for Adi, we went straight to Papa's mansion. Kitang-kita ko kung gaano ka-saya si Papa kapag nakikipag-laro siya kay Adi. "Adi we have something for you!" nagpapapalakpak naman ito ng makita kami ng daddy niya. Excited kong binuksan ang mga laruan at nakilaro din samin si Von hanggang sa dumating yung time na kailangan na nilang umuwi.

Ayaw pa sana umalis ni Adi pero hindi naman sila pwedeng hindi umuwi, "Don't worry Adi, I will see you super soon again and we will play again..." tumigil ito sa pagto-topak at ngumiti sakin na akala mo naman ay naintindihan niya ako.

After this day I know it will get better, I just need to gather all the guts left in me and start to learn how to trust Von again.

I was drinking hot choco here at the garden because I can't sleep yet, "Can I join you anak?" Papa was holding his mug with tea and sat down beside me. "You look happy Am..."

Humarap ako sa kanya at pinag-cheers ko ang mug naming, "I actually am Papa, surprisingly."

"So does this mean that you and Von would get back together?" parang may ning-ning yung mga mata ni Papa sa tanong niya.

Sumandal ako at tumingin sa langit, "Uhm, maybe but definitely not anytime soon. I want to take things slow and sure this time."

"Did you tell Von that?" I nodded without looking at him

"Yes, he agreed actually." I smiled knowing that after talking with Von, I found out that we are on the same page, "Mas gusto niya din daw na we take it slow rather than being fast but ending up not together."

Sumandal din si Papa sa silya at dalawa na kaming nakatingin sa langit, "Adi looked happy being with you. Ikaw? Okay ka lang ba with Adi around?" Amaris came to my mind but there was no more pain in my heart.

"Yes. Adi gives me a feeling of satisfaction. I don't know Papa pero ang gaan-gaan ng loob ko sa kanya." Even I can't understand kung bakit ang gaan ng loob ko sa kanya despite sa mga nangyari, "Is it wrong if wala akong maramdamang galit sa kanya? I mean he was the reason why I wanted to end my relationship with Von."

Papa looked at me and smiled, "You never really hated that kid even from the start, you actually cared for him even before he was born. You are willing to sacrifice Von for him to have a complete family."

I smiled while nodding, oo nga tama si Papa, "Maybe you are right, and Crystal...I didn't know she would do that. Hindi ko alam na kaya niyang i-give up si Von kahit na kayang-kaya niya na sana paghiwalayin kami dahil meron na silang Adi." I might be hurt pero parang mas masakit yung nangyari sa kanya dahil anak niya yung ginive-up niya.

Papa held my hand, "Different people have their different story Am... she has different set of priorities that time and she knew how much Von loved you. Maybe she just realized her worth, hindi siya okay knowing that having Adi is not enough to have Vons' full attention." I smiled at Papas' thought, maybe he's right.

I sincerely pray that she would find the man who would value her real worth as a woman and I will forever be greatful with the opportunity he gave Von and me. I would never waste this second chance with Von but I really want to take it slow this time.

VON's POV

Sobrang bilis ng panahon, in a few days second birthday na ni Adi. Me and Amethyst continued talking since then, hindi pa kami nagkakabalikan since we both want to take it slow and ayaw ko naman ipilit sa kanya kahit na gusto ko n asana. It's not just about me, I have Adi.
