Pain. Iyan ang nararamdaman ko ngayon. Unti-unti na akong kinain ng paghihinayang sa aking nakikita. Ganun pa man, I will stand up with my decision. Sapat na sa akin kung anong ugnayan ang mayroon sa amin ni Winter. He is the father of my child. That is all what he means for me. Iyon na lang. Hanggang doon na lang. We already have this kind of settlement. Anytime, pwedeng dalawin ni Winter yung anak namin... wala akong problema doon. Hindi ko ipinagkait sa kanya ang maging ama para kay Ash. Sapat na siguro iyon para maging okay na ang lahat. It is been three months na rin mula nang mapagkasunduan namin ang tungkol dito. And well, they are happily living together. Hindi na rin naman kasi tutol dito si Maxine. She already knew about our child at wala iyong problema sa kanya since magiging mommy na rin siya. She is just making a favor for Ash's sake.

He is trying to dry my tears. Hushing me to stop from being a crying baby."Ash might hear you, he'll be awake knowing his mommy is crying. Baka mamaya sisisihin pa ako ni baby." Without hearing what I want to say, his mouth landed unto mine.Savoring the moment like we were back from the old time. Seems we're lovers who longed for each other's warm, aren't we?"Maha

His' PovI would have given the whole world to her long before if only I never did something stupid. Kung sana ay di ka lang tinakasan ang responsibilidad na magmahal at magpakatotoo sa tunay kong nararamdaman, kung sana ay di ko na lang dinaan sa biro at laro ang lahat, kung sana ay nagtino na ako noon pa, I would already have savored not just the world but the universe I never thought existing."Baby, ssssssh. Mommy's here Ash." I look at the both of them from afar and realized how lucky I was dahil sa kabila ng kagaguhan ko, mayroon akong masasabi kong akin lang hanggang matapos ang kailan pa man. Fudge the cheesiness but that was the hell truth.I tightened my gaze towards Montreal, never leaving a single part of her face to miss in my sight. College pa lang, mahal ko na siya kahit noong mga panahong di ko pa alam ang salitang yan. I love teasing her, underestimating the woman she is, arguing all the ideas the she has, those I called my life because I feel like
