She claimed him

I felt my heart beating so fast after reading the text.

"Hi Kath, I wanted to invite you to have dinner with us and the kids. I hope you could come. -JULIA" She used DJ's phone to send the message.

I didn't know how to respond until I heard another beep notifying I have a text message, it was the place where they will have the dinner.

"Subukan ko. Thank you sa pag imbita." After typing and deleting a couple of messages I finally decided to send this one.

"Come on Kath, para sa mga bata. Sama mo na din si Stella." It was still probably Julia.

I just closed my phone and started folding the clothes that I took from the laundry near our house.

We have maids in our house but I like having my clothes washed by a laundry shop because it feels mo professionaly done.

"Mom kuya sent me a message sa fb saying he will see me later daw?" Naguguluhang tanong ni Stella.

"How do you have Facebook?" Nagaalala na halos galit kong tanong.

"Kuya John made me one when we met before. He said he will be my only facebook friend so we can talk." 

Inagaw ko ang IPad ni Stella sakanya, agad kong nakita ang mahabang paguusap ng magkapatid. 

It was mostly them sending photos of what they are doing. I can tell they are very fond of each other. 

Sa pagkakakita ko ng saglit kay John mukha siyang seryoso at masungit pero he talks softly and nice to Stella.

Hindi ko mapigilan maluha, kahit hindi sila lumaki magkasama halatang mahal nila ang isat isa.

I can tell that they only started talking this year.

John is smart enough to find out about this, natatakot ako para sakanya. Paano kung maghalungkat siya lalo. 

Hindi naman siguro siya sasak-

"Mommy can I have my IPad back?" naiinip na pag putol ni Stella sa iniisip ko.

"Do you wanna see your brothers?" 

"And my daddy?" nakangiting sabi ni Stella.

"Daddy?" Naguguluhan kong tanong na may halong takot at kaba.

"Si Daddy Daniel mama." walang pakielam nya ng sagot ng makuha nya ang IPad.

"Stella he is not your dad okay?" Nararamdaman ko na nagiinit ang mga mata ko nang sabihin yun.
