Nang makalabas ako sa restaurant na 'yon ay dali-dali kong tinawagan si Asher. Napasabunot ako sa buhok ko habang nanginginig ang isa ko pang kamay habang hinihintay siyang sumagot.

"Nasaan si A3? Did you bring her home? What is she doing?" sunud-sunod na tanong ko.

"Hey, hey, calm down. She's with me, I brought her home as you instructed."

Nakahinga ako nang maluwag. "Thank God! Don't bring her outside until I'm home," mariing bilin ko.

"Ok, be safe." His voice was laced with pure worry but I paid it no mind.

I called Yvette to ask her to pick me up from the Resto's parking lot. I went back to Aster Academy still bothered by what happened earlier. It's been 6 years, bakit ngayon ko pa siya makikitang muli?

I clicked the intercom to connect to Yvette's office "Yvette, cancel all my meetings later. I'm going home early."

"I'll see to it, Madame."

She didn't bother asking me why, dahil napansin na niya and pagkabilasa ko mula nang sunduin niya ako kanina. I forced myself to finish all my paperwork and went straight home. I'm still worried that I might come across him again kaya I told Tatay Romeo to fetch me earlier.

Masyado akong kinakain ng pag-aalala na ang tanging nasa-isip ko ay si A3. Siya agad ang hinanap ko pagdating na pagdating namin.

"A3?" tawag ko mula sa sala ng bahay.

"Mommyyyy!" Napatingala ako sa hagdan nang marinig ko ang matinis niyang boses. She excitedly waved at me and went off running down the stairs.

"We don't run down the stairs, A3!" I gently reminded her while shaking my head. She just giggled and carefully walked down the stairs while gripping tightly on the handrails. Manang-mana siya sa pinagmanahan niya, goodness gracious!

"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" she chanted as she stretched both her arms while jumping in front of me, asking me to pick her up.

She's now wearing a pink tutu dress paired with her pink glittery doll shoes, her long hair is in pigtails with dangling ribbons attached to it. Seeing na paling ang pusod niya ay siguradong ang Papa niya ang nag-ayos sa kaniya.

I smilingly took her to my arms and gave her a quick kiss on her cheeks. "How was your day, baby?" I asked as casually as I could so she won't notice how shaken I am.

She answered me with her usual cheeky smile then showered my face with kisses. I chuckled and tightened my grip on her. She then dramatically sighed and settled herself on the right side of my chest.

"Teacher Meira gave me so much Math problems to solve. My head is aching Mommy. I hate Math." Ngumuso ito at kumawak sa ulo niya at umaktong nasasaktan habang nakapikit ang mata at kumikubot-kibot ang nguso.
