Miss Moon (Misses Series #3)

Prologue

The number one astronomical body that gives us light in our starry night sky. The one who gives us light as the darkness engulfs us.

The moon.

The moon that goes through phases and we must too, so that we can go through that empty phases that the moon are going through.

We must learn how to live alone as the people around us are just silently have our backs whenever we need them. Just like the moon has stars to shine up our dark and empty nights.

I lived through many years that all I have was myself. I have so many friends around me that I can call my family but at the end of the day, I still have myself and only myself.

But I never imagined myself trusting someone who is more important than myself... or so I think trusting him is a good thing to do.

When I thought everything was going the way I wanted, I never thought that the universe will really make a way for us to be miserable. I never thought to cry that much or to be hurt that much as I fell for the only man that I truly loved.

"Mama," Kei called me as he is pulling the hem of my coat.

He continuously pointing out the window where we can see the land of the country where he was originally born.

"I'm excited to see tati and tito!" he said sounded super excited.

Kei is already five years old and I regret how the time is running fast. Everytime he saw the land of this country, he'll be super excited.

I kind of regret that he's growing fast. Ni hindi ko man lang naramdaman na naging baby baby siya. Parang ang bilis lang ng panahon.

"Mama," he called me again and pointing his fingers outside.

"The moon showed up!" he exclaimed excitedly.

"It'll definitely show up, Kei." I said to him and my son smiled brightly at me.

"Tati," Kei exclaimed as he saw Karaleen, Karean and Marco from afar.

Lumaki siyang si Karaleen ang naging malapit dahil si Karaleen naman ang palagi niyang nakikita kong kausap at kasama.

"Baby Kei," Karaleen said and carried my baby up.

"Naku, Karaleen. Kei is so heavy now." sabi ko sa kanya pero kinarga niya pa rin.

"Hello little Kara." bati ko naman sa anak ni Karaleen.

"Hi, tita." sagot niya at mag mano naman ito sa akin kaya naman natuwa ako dahil ang cute cute niya.

Karean is just a year younger than Kei.

"Atty. Williams," I greeted him at he hugged me while his wife is busy with my son.

"Ang laki na niya, Selene. Parang kailan lang na nasa tiyan mo itong batang ito. Ngayon, my god, ang gwapo." sabi ni Karaleen nang nasa byahe na kami papunta sa condo unit ko.

Nanibago naman ako kay Karaleen simula nang naging malapit kami sa isa't-isa. Hindi naman siya ganito noong college pa kami dahil ang tahimik niya lang at sa loob pala ang kulo.

Pero nang sa kanila ako tumira, kung saan nakatira si Rana at Jack. Doon nila ako pinatira habang hindi pa ako handa na sabihin sa kanya na anak niya ang dinadala ko.

Hindi ko kayang sabihin sa kanya hanggang ngayon dahil sa tingin ko hindi niya tatanggapin si Kei. Na baka hindi niya tanggap na nabuntis niya ako limang taon na ang nakalipas.
