Lumapat na lamang ang likod ni Rhezi sa kama nang hindi nito namamalayan. She opened her eyes to see Kraius and his lustful and intense gaze bore into her. Ni hindi man lamang ito kumukurap. Puno ng intensidad ang mga mata nito habang nakatanghod at maingat na inilalapag ang dalaga.
Rhezi's soft hair scattered on top of the bed. She was like portrait in her facade. Her pointed nose that was always look proud and her tantalizing eyes that were paired with thick eyelashes. It complimented her pouty lips and her small face. She was undeniably gorgeous while underneath Kraius' perfect body.
"Do you know what day is it today?" Kraius asked in a husky voice that sent shiver to Rhezi's being. Para itong nang-aakit habang nasasamyo ng dalaga ang bango ng hininga nito. Naghahalo ang alak at menthol doon. Nakakahalina at nakakadarang. Nakakanginig ng laman maging ng mga tuhod.
"I d-don't know," Rhezi stuttered. She bit her lower lip

Rhezi was busy preparing food for her kids when someone hugged her from behind. Mabilis na nabitawan ng dalaga ang kutsilyong hawak nito nang maramdaman ang kirot na likha niyon sa hintuturo nito. Kasabay ng pagkagulat ng dalaga ay ang hapding nadarama dahil sa nangyari."You're very occupied. Anong nangyayari sa'yo?" Jericho asked curiously. Mabilis din nitong dinaluhan ang dalaga at itinapat ang hintuturo nito sa gripo."N-Nothing. I am just tired. I work too much, lately." Rhezi shook her head. She couldn't stare at Jericho in the eye. She wasn't a fan of lying, but she felt she had to. Hindi pa rin lubos maisip ng dalaga ang mga nangyari isang linggo na ang nakakaraan.It was already a week when that fateful night happened. One week since she gave up herself to Kraius again. Isang linggo na rin nitong pinapagalitan ang sarili ngunit alam rin nitong hindi na maibabalik ang lahat. Higit sa lahat, isang linggo na rin mula

"Saan ba kasi tayo pupunta?" Rhezi asked. Nakaupo ang dalaga sa kama habang pinagmamasdan si Jericho na inaasikaso ang tatlong anak."Kakain 'di ba?" pamimilosopo naman nito.Napairap si Rhezi sa kawalan. Kahit kailan hindi sumagot ng matino ang lalaki dito. Minsan naman seryoso ang lalaki na hindi rin nito maintindihan. Ganunpaman, ipinagkikibit-balikat na lamang ito ng dalaga kaysa ang kainisan. Jericho was good to her and to her kids, it was all that matter."Saan nga?!" ungot pa ng dalaga."Are you angry Momma?" pag-agaw ni Dos sa pansin ni Rhezi. Sa tatlo, ito ang unang natapos sa pagbibihis. Wearing his usual khaki shorts and printed polo shirt, while his hair was tied up in a bun which made him looked like a child star idol in hollywood.Rhezi sighed and bowed a little. She smiled lightly to the child and touched his little face. "No. I'm not angry handsome," she replied.

It was the most awkward dinner that they had experienced. Kraius deadly stare was evident. However, whenever the man stared to the three kid in front of him, his expression softened."Mr. Handsome, thank you for bringing Dos to us," Roscoe asked. The boy was looking at Kraius intently.Tila hinaplos ng isang anghel ang puso ni Kraius dahil sa sinabi ng bata. His attention shifted to the kid then he smiled. He was overmelmed all of the sudden from the smiling face of him. It was surely genuine and pure while his eyes were beaming."It's okay. Dos is my friend. Right Dos?" Kraius asked. He smirked when he saw Rhezi's horror expression but deep in his heart he was mad at her."Can we be friends too?" Tres happily asked.

"You did the right choice for leaving my son."Hindi na alam ni Rhezi kung ilang ulit nang umuukilkil sa isip nito ang mga katagang binitiwan ng ama ni Kraius. Hindi na rin mabilang ng dalaga kung ilang ulit nang kumabog ang dibdib nito sa pag-aalala. She was bombarded with lots of thoughts and it was giving her headache, anxiety and stress.She sighed. Trying to shrugged the thoughts out of her head. She shouldn't be affected by the man. She already ended what she had with Kraius a few years ago. At alam rin ng dalaga na tama ang naging desisyon na paglayo. Seeing how fuckboy Kraius now, she knew... she did the right thing. Iyon nga lamang, kailangan nitong tiisin ang mawalay sa sariling magulang."Are you okay?" nag-aalalang tanong ni Jericho sa dalaga. Kanina pa ito nakamasid sa huli nang may pagtataka."I am fine." Rhezi smiled. She grabbed Jericho's hands and pressed it lightly.

Hindi nakakilos si Kraius sa narinig. He was literally caught off guard. His mouth slightly opened to utter a word but his mind seemed shut, while his eyes still lingered to Rhezi's painful expression. Katulad noon, nalulunod pa rin ang binata sa malulungkot nitong mga mata.Kasabay ng pagiging tulala ng lalaki ay ang pagkalma ni Rhezi sa sarili. She used the situation to leave Kraius dumbfounded. She was pacing faster as she could. Mabilis na paghakbang na sumasabay sa mabilis ding pagtibok ng puso nito.She was desperate to be out from him. She even scolded herself for spilling those words to Kraius. Hindi na dapat iyon sinabi ng dalaga. It wasn't necessary. The damage was already done afterall. Wala na rin itong balak pa na balikan ang nakaraan. But, the words slipped in her mouth all of the sudden."Rhezi!"Kraius voice roared in the middle of the night. Napapitlag naman ang dalaga sa lakas ng bo

Kraius was eyeing the whole Bailey family from going out of the car. He was already tired from work and it was already late but he still find time to drop by. He watched the huge mansion from outside and familiarize the place. He didn't even know that the family wasn't inside, not until a Mercedez Benz A-class parked in front of it.He was like a stalker in his situation.

Kanina pa hindi mapakali si Rhezi. She was pacing back and forth inside her room. Her hands trembled a little and her heart was beating fast. Pakiramdam ng dalaga ay may mga naghahabulan sa dibdib nito. Hindi rin ito mapanatag kahit pa ilang beses na nitong kinumbinsi ang sarili."Are you ready?"Mula sa kakabukas lamang na pinto ay bumungad ang nakangiting mukha ni Jericho. Rhezi instantly shifted her gaze and looked at the man. He was all smile while holding a travelling bag in his right hand. Halatang handa na ito sa kanilang pupuntahan."I don't know." Umiling si Rhezi. "I-I am not sure of this Dada. Dos is sick and--""Dos is not sick, Momma. You're just over reacting." Pinaikot nito ang mga mata.
