Paige I'm still indazed after our lunch. I have so many things in mind. I really can't believe that I talk about marriage in front of him and not to mention that my ex son is calling me 'mom'. I can't! What on earth did I do wrong? I've been abroad for a long time to avoid any possible things that I can do in order to make him remember me, and now here I am. In the company where he owned and to think that we are engage before his accident hurt me so much, I guess I am still hurting all this years. I just ignore it or I just stored it in my heart. Hindi ko inaasahan ang mga nangyayari. Now that I can see and talk to him without having an argument is new to me. His been avoiding me since his discharge from the hospital  and our last talk was when I finnally give in, no... I never give him up... my family needed me.  Thinking about the things that we've been through I guess his happy marrying Amanda and having Fash as his son. Wala nam

 I still can't believe that we eat lunch like we used to lunch together, but still I felt awkward towards him. I don’t know what he up to and I’m afraid to ask him.7 long years and here we are sitting face to face, glancing each other without saying a word. I know him, he wants to ask me something. Alam na ba niya? O baka naman naalala na niya? Bigla akong kinabahan sa naisip. Paano nga kung naalala na niya ako kaya ganito ito sa akin ngayon?I almost drop my glass thinking of that. Napatingin ito sakin kaya naman nag iwas agad ako ng tingin.“I’m sorry”. Maiksi kung saad.“Are you okay?’’ Tanong nito. “Don’t you like the food? I’m sorry sana pala inantay nakita bago-“No!”. I cut him off and smile. “I’m fine really!”. Tango ko dito.“Can I ask something?”. Lakas loob kung sabi at humikhim para magkaroon ng sapat na lakas

Chapter 24WajeAfter lunch agad din itong nagpaalam. Aalis na din sana ako but I remember that I didn’t tell her about the wedding in Batangas. I was about to go to her office when I saw her talking with someone…its Jerome? I thought he should be traveling to Singapore today?Her assistant saw me, but I signed to her it’s okay and I’ll just go.I saw how they are comfortable with each other, touching and talking and laughing.I guess they are right, she can lift up easily a heavy mode.As Amanda describes her, she’s like a darling of the crowd. No wonder I followed her around but I am still curious how I court her, did it last long? I never court Amanda because our parents set us up.But I didn’t remember even in my teenage days that I admire a bubbly woman, I find them overacting or maarte. I don’t like woman like that. Amanda is sociable person, she likes gathering and bragging about her l

 Malayo palang ay kita ko na ang dami ng sasakyang naka park sa harap ng malaking mansion. Ito na siguro ang bahay ng kanyang mga magulang. Maya-maya pa ay umikot ang sasakyan papunta sa loob.“Were here”. Saad nito.Tumango lang ako. Bigla akong kinabahan.This is the first time that I am attending this kind of event and this is not just an ordinary party. It’s his parent’s anniversary. Dahan dahan akong lumabas.“Let’s go”.Sumunod ako dito ngunit huminto ito at nilingon ako.“Huh?”. Nag tatakang tanong ko dito. Ngumiti lang ito at umiling.Pagpasok palang ay makikita mo na ang dami ng kanilang mga bisita. Fash is running towards our direction kaya naman umagaw ito ng atensiyon sa mga naroon.Tuwang sinalubong ko ito ng yakap.“Mom! I’m so happy that you came”. Saad nito.Tumawa lang ako.“Of course, you invited me&

  The shock expression in my face is very evident right now judging how Waje reacts. “Why?”. Takang tanong nito ng hindi ako kumibo sa kinatatayuan. Tumikhim ako para pakalmahin ang nagwawala kung puso. Why? Of all the places bakit dito pa! Umiling ako. It doesn’t matter, hindi din naman nito naalala kung ano ang mga nangyari o kung bakit ako nagkakaganito ngayaon. Yun naman ang masakit sa lahat, yung ikaw lang ang nakakaalala at nasasaktan. United Kingdom It is bold written on the arc of the park. “Mom! Dad! Come on!”. Nagulat ako sa excited na sigaw ni Fash na nag pabalik sa realidad. “Are you okay?”. I saw the concern in Waje eyes. Pilit akong ngumiti at tumango dito at nag lakad na patungo kay Fash na tumatakbo na papasok ng park. Agad kaming pinapasok ng guard without asking us for a ticket. Nilingon ko Waje na seryosong nakatingin din sa amin ng anak niya. Nag-iwas ag
