Chapter 34

"A year after that, I met your father at the police station because I illegally parked my newly bought car—which I worked hard for, by the way—on the street, fell in love and got married to him and then we had you," Mama said. A smile crept through her lips when Papa kissed her on the cheek.

"And we named you after Mara's late best friend, Lilia Perez."

Tumango si Mama. "That's right."

He yawned after kissing Mama. "Grabe, ang haba ng sinabi mo tungkol sa love story niyo ni Leonardo tapos sa akin isang long sentence lang?!" pagmamaktol niya na siyang ikinatawa ko. I was wiping the tears that fell earlier. I didn't know their love story is that... dramatic and unreal. Akala ko'y sa mga teleserye ko lang iyon mapapanood at mapapakinggan.
