“ABOUT time, man.”
Bullet laughed and took a sip of his cappuccino. It took him a few months before he’s able to contact Lukas and he expected him to be mad at him but fortunately, he just smiled when he showed up at his new office just a few blocks away from the building where they used to work together. Nothing has changed in Lukas, he’s still the fun and wacky friend he had back then. And yeah, he’s still single until now, which was a shock because before he left, Lukas was actually planning to propose to his girlfriend.
“So when are you gonna see her?” Lukas inquired after telling him about his new-found daughter with Astrid.
“Next weekend. I’m kind of nervous, man,” he admits. “I don’t know what to do once I see her face to face.” He got his phone from his pocket and showed Luna’s pictures to Lukas. His heart started beating fast the moment he saw his

IT was the middle of the week when Theo got an unexpected visitor that morning. He just ended his second Taekwondo class that day when he saw Astrid at the lobby area of their Dojang. She’s supposed to be in class that time so he was more than shocked to see her there especially it was the first time she visited him at school.“What a surprise!”Theo’s a bit hesitant to get close to Astrid because he’s all sweaty, still in his Dobok. He had to wipe his sweat on his face and neck with his towel before standing in front of Astrid. She stood up and greeted him with a kiss on the cheek. She was still wearing her uniform and seem like in a hurry.“What brought you here?”“I think I owe you an explanation, Theo.”“Explanation for what?”A lot of students are going out of Dojang, some are waving goodbye to him so he guided her to sit down at the bench beside th

“BUT I thought tomorrow’s the pool party, Mom? I already invited my friends to come by at three in the afternoon tomorrow. Should I call them and tell them that tonight’s the dinner and no more pool party tomorrow?”Astrid smiled at Luna while fixing her hair bow. “The pool party is still tomorrow, honey. But since today is your real birthday, we have to have our own little celebration.”Luna smiled. “Wow, I’m gonna have two celebrations?”“Yes.” She hugged her after making sure that her casual black dress. She then led her to the dining area and let her sit at the head of the table. She saw Luna’s face brighten up when she saw her that everything on the table were her favorites.“Wow, thanks Mom!”Nothing fancy but she tried her best to have Luna’s favorites including pizza, donuts and of course, her Aunt Martha’s red velvet cake with e

LUNA invited five of her closest friends for her pool party. Some came with their mothers while the others are with their nannies. There’s Sophia who’s been Luna’s classmate since preschool, and Mia and Amelia, the twins, Jason who had just transferred from the US and Sarah who lives in the neighborhood.And then there’s Bullet, who clearly said the night before that he couldn’t come. He came with his good friend Lukas, who’s now chatting with Martha near the pool.Truth is, she didn’t know what to feel. She should be happy that Bullet accepted his father role for Luna but she didn’t expect him to be this involved. He just met Luna the day before and he’s acting as if he’s the best father in the world. Not that she’s complaining. It’s just that she’s somehow worried of the possibility of Luna being too attached to him. What if there comes a time when Bullet

“SO, that’s ‘the’ Teach Theo.”Astrid nodded while tidying up the table. It was already dark when the party finished and guests have gone home except Bullet, Lukas and Martha who are also helping with cleaning. And yes, Theo has arrived, just in time before Luna’s bedtime.“They seem close, Luna and that Teach Theo.”Again, she nodded. Luna eagerly tugged Theo to their direction and Bullet was surprised when she gave him a tight hug before sitting on his lap.“Daddy, this is Teach Theo, my Taekwondo instructor! Teach Theo, this is my Daddy!” Luna introduced the two happily.Bullet held out his hand for a handshake. Theo willingly accepted and smiled at him. And then, Luna pulled Theo again to go inside the house because according to her, she wanted to show Teach Theo all the gifts that she has received for her birthday.“He seems like a nice guy,&r

Lukas was also there, and Bullet and a beautiful young woman who seems really fond of Bullet.It’s her first time for a long time to visit such place since having Luna. It was one of the new clubs in the city which cater acoustic bands and promote fresh talents. The place is filled with smoke that’s artistically twirled, forming coils in the dimness.Acoustic music, chips, beers, murmurs and whispers. More and more people are coming inside the bar - men, women, couples, groups. There’s someone crying at the end corner of the place, some are just standing across the bar, while there are couples in hidden lounges.It was Martha’s birthday celebration and she was actually surprised when Martha told her about her and Lukas.“Are you kidding me?” she asked doubtfully. “Sinc

“DO we really have to do this?”Bullet glanced at Astrid. He was about to push the doorbell button when he heard her behind him. Luna was just clinging to her Mom, smiling at him. She’s wearing the cute dress he got her on her birthday and carrying.Ever since his parents knew about Luna, they insisted to meet her as soon as possible. He’s not supposed to tell them about his daughter with Astrid yet but one of their closest friends allegedly saw the three of them together at the mall. He was even surprised to get a call from his mom asking too many questions about it that he wasn’t able to do anything but to admit it.“They are expecting us. Dad canceled his business trip today and Mom already cooked her special baked macaroni for Luna.””Wow! Baked macaroni? That’s my favorite, Daddy!”Bullet smiled and patted her hair lightly. “Yeah, your grandma made it beca

"DREAM on, Mister!” Astrid laughed out loud, literally. “Why would you even think that?" she inquired.“Remember last week when we went to Lukas' night swimming birthday party?"Of course, she remembers. That was the time when she started getting confused about her own feelings. Because of Bullet, because of Theo, because of their complicated situation.“Remember when Audrey and I were getting cozy? You pulled that teacher closer, whispered in his ear and kissed him on the lips.”Astrid’s eyes widened and covered her mouth with her hands. “You saw that?” Yes, she remembered whispering to Theo and kissing him but it wasn’t because she wanted to make Bullet jealous. Alright. Maybe, half of it was true. She didn’t know how it happened but it was too late before she could even control herself.“Of course. I think everybody saw that.” He smiled but
