Cameron's voice was laced with excitement as he chimed in again. "So, do you know if it's a boy or a girl?"

A playful grin tugged at the corners of Summer's lips, even though her friends couldn't see it. "Ah, the million-dollar question, right? Well, we're keeping it a surprise for now. But trust me, I'll let you know as soon as we find out."

Legacy's laughter echoed through the connection, a testament to the camaraderie that had been woven through the years. "We'll be waiting for that update, Sum."

As the conversation flowed, Summer felt the distance between them fade. It was as if their voices were dancing on the same wavelength, a symphony of friendship that defied geographical boundaries. She could almost picture Legacy's thoughtful nod and Cameron's easy smile as they shared in her joy.

In that moment, surrounded by the invisible threads of their bond, Summer knew that even though they were far apart, they were closer than ever. With Luca's progress, her pregnancy, and the storie

    As Osiris assembled the crib, his hands moved with a tenderness that matched the anticipation in his heart. Summer watched him, her eyes filled with adoration. This was the man who would be their daughter's father, the one who would stand by her side through all the seasons of life.With the crib in place and adorned with a pink-and-white canopy, they added the finishing touches. Plush animals found their homes on shelves, soft blankets and quilts were neatly folded, and a cozy glider chair sat by the window, offering a place for late-night feedings and tender lullabies.The room was now a sanctuary of love and dreams, a place where their daughter would be cradled in the warmth of their hearts. They stood in the center of the room, hand in hand, their smiles reflecting the joy of this shared accomplishment.Summer gently rested her hand on her growing belly, feeling the subtle movements of the life within.

    Mas abala pa ang kalsada kaysa mga negosyanteng nagbubukas ng kanya-kanyang store at establishments ngunit wala nang mas aaligaga pa kay Osiris na umaga pa lang ay nagkukumahog na sa kanyang mahalagang lakad ngayong araw.Papara ng jeep. Sasakay. Bababa. Paulit-ulit lang... nang biglang maiba ang takbo ng kanyang buhay na ilang araw na ring ginawang gan'to.Malakas na busina ang nagpahinto sa kanya sa pagtawid sa kalsada. Dulot nang labis na pagkagulat ay sumambulat sa ere saka marahang bumulusok pababa ang mga resume at application letter niyang dala gayundin ang tinitipid inumin na regular McCafe Hot Coffee na gumising sa kanyang natutulog na diwa nang ito'y tumapon sa kanyang kulay puting long sleeves.Habang pinupulot niya ang mga papel ay bumaba ang matandang driver at pinagmasdan pa si Osiris na animo'y inoobserbahan nito ang pisikal na kaanyuan ng binata: tall, handsome but not tan skin and has a shredded bulking body. Iyon lang naman ang mga napansin ni G. Cesar sa binatang it

    "Marunong ka bang magluto?" tanong niya sa dalaga at hindi na nagpaligoy-ligoy pa."Oo!" dagling sagot ng dalaga. "Teka, baliw ka ba?"Inasahan na ni Osiris ang magiging reaksyon ng dalaga dahil nga naman napaka-random naman ng tanong niya. "No, but I need your help. Can you come with me? Saan ka ba pupunta?""Wala ka nang pakialam do'n!" sagot ng dalaga na hindi pa rin mawala ang nakaguhit na inis sa mukha."Babayaran ko ang buong araw mo, please help me." Desperado na si Osiris kaya niya nasambit iyon at talaga namang hindi niya hahayaan na mawala kaagad ang trabahong lumapit na sa kaniya mismo."Hindi ka naman masamang tao, 'no?" tanong ng binibini nang maramdaman ang pakiusap ng binata.Buong-loob na kinumbinsi ni Osiris ang dalaga sa pagtugon ng salitang, "Hindi.""Mukha namang nagsasabi ka ng totoo, sige," saad ng dalaga sa umiiling pang binata.Ikinuwento ni Osiris ang sitwasyon niyang kinakaharap na tinawanan lang naman ng dalaga dahil aniya'y napakasimple lamang ng pinoproblem

    "Kumusta nga pala ang boss mo?" tanong ni Summer na siyang bumulaga at gumulat sa sistema ni Osiris. "Okay naman," sagot ni Osiris at hindi na itinuloy pa. Hindi na niya sinabi pa sa dalaga ang mga nasa isip niya kanina. Nagpatuloy ang mga araw na pareho silang naging busy. Ihahatid ni Osiris si Summer sa shooting kapag umaga at susunduin niya kapag gabi. Ilang linggo na rin ang nakalilipas. Weekend ngayon, tinawagan ni Osiris si Summer. Nalaman niyang walang shooting ngayon kaya naman nagpasya silang lumabas. Tinapos muna nila lahat ng kanya-kanyang ginagawa at nang matapos ay nagkita na sila. Inabot na sila ng hapon sa paggala hanggang sa makarating na sila sa dagat. Bitbit ang mga alak at pagkain na napagkasunduan nilang bilhin. Pinapanood nila ang sunset habang nagkukwentuhan at nag-iinuman. "Mula nang natanggap ka sa lead role na 'yan, ha, sobrang busy mo na. And paganda ka lalo nang paganda," saad ni Osiris."Oo, masyadong busy. Ikaw rin naman, e! Ano ba pinagkakaabalahan mo

    Walang lakas, at ang natitira ay halos maubos na rin, ilang hakbang na lang ang layo ni Osiris sa kanyang sasakyan ngunit parang napakalayo pa rin niya at hindi kayang marating ang napakalapit.Samantala, bago pa bumuhos ang malakas na ulan ay nakapunta na sa kwarto sina Legacy at Summer. Walang makakapigil sa kanilang nag-aalab na damdamin at pagkikiskisan ng mga sabik na labi habang paakyat sa hagdan, hindi pinapansin ang mga nagpaparty sa bahay ni Legacy.Hindi alintana ng mga ito ang lakas ng ulan dahil natatalo o nalalamangan ito ng malakas na party music na siyang nagpapasigla lalo slalo sa kanila kahit na lulong na sa party pills at lunod sa iba't ibang klase ng alak na kanilang iniinom.Si Osiris na nasa labas ay ngayon ay sinasabayan ng mata ang pagbuhos ng ulan sa kaniyang katawan. Ngayon lamang siya nasaktan ng ganito. Mayroong pagsisisi at pagkamuhi hindi sa babae ngunit sa kaniyang sarili.Kung sinilang lang sana siyang mayaman at bilyonaryo baka sakaling magustuhan siya

    Nasa trabaho na si Osiris ngunit hindi pa rin soya mapakali. Matapos ang mga business meetings kanina at ngayon ay nagkakape na siya. Hindi pa rin mawala sa isipan niya ang issue na kinakaharap ni Summer.“Sh*t! I need to do something about this!” bulalas niya at humigop nang malaking lagok sa tasa niya kahit na mapaso pa ang bibig niya ay hindi na mahalaga iyon.Ang kailangan niyang gawin ay matulungan si Summer. Hindi na siya magdadalawang-isip pang gawin ito. Call him martyr or dumb if you want but he doesn't care anymore.Osiris's fingers tapped impatiently on his phone as he dialed the number of the film's director. The director, still feeling a strong sense of gratitude toward the late Mr. Cesar, wasted no time in responding to Osiris's urgent call. Within minutes, they were both seated at a quiet corner of the coffee shop."Thanks for coming so quickly," Osiris said, his voice a mix of urgency and concern. "I need your help with something important."The director nodded, his br

    Under the moonlit sky, the atmosphere was charged with a mixture of emotions as Osiris and Summer stood facing each other in the park. The soft rustling of leaves and distant hum of the city formed a serene backdrop to their raw conversation. Summer's eyes were red-rimmed from tears, and Osiris's face was etched with the traces of anguish he had been through.Summer took a hesitant step closer, her voice laden with remorse and regret. "Osiris, I need you to understand how truly sorry I am. What happened between Legacy and me was a mistake, and I know it hurt you deeply."Osiris's heart clenched as he listened to her words, the pain of her betrayal still fresh in his memory. He inched closer, his voice a mixture of vulnerability and desperation. "Summer, I can't bear the thought of losing you. Despite everything, I still love you. I'm begging you, please give me another chance."With a mix of determination and raw emotion, Osiris knelt before Summer, his eyes never leaving hers. "I kno

    They move together rhythmically, their bodies slick with sweat as they both approach their climax. "Fuck," Osiris groans out loud as he feels himself getting closer and closer to the edge.Summer's eyes roll back in ecstasy as she comes undone around him, tightening around his dick so hard that it sends him over the edge too.They lay there panting for a few moments before Osiris rolls off of Summer and pulls her into his arms. "That was. amazing," she says breathlessly.Days passed by, and Osiris once again immersed himself in the intricacies of running his company. The office became a stage for his calculated movements and strategic decisions, his presence commanding the attention of his employees like a maestro leading an orchestra. The scent of freshly printed documents wafted through the air, mingling with the faint hum of computers and the soft rustling of papers as they were shuffled around.Meanwhile, at home, Summer's role had shifted from business partner to caregiver.

    Summer and Osiris guided Luca upstairs, their presence a comforting anchor for him as he navigated the transition from the sterile hospital environment to the familiarity of his room. The staircase seemed to creak with joy beneath their steps, as if acknowledging their return. Luca's room awaited him, its door slightly ajar, as if anticipating his arrival.With a mixture of apprehension and relief, Luca settled onto his bed. The room enveloped him in its embrace, the scent of his own pillow and the softness of the sheets beneath him offering a balm for his tired soul. The afternoon sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm and gentle glow on everything it touched.As Summer and Osiris lingered in the doorway, their gazes filled with a mixture of pride and concern, they exchanged a silent understanding. Luca needed this moment, a space to process all that had transpired. Their absence was a gift, a sign of their unwavering love and trust in his strength.The room seemed to

    The familiar sights greeted him—palm trees swaying in the breeze, a sky painted with hues of pink and orange as the sun began to set."Hey, welcome to Singapore," Legacy said, his voice laced with a mix of pride and nostalgia.Cameron's lips curved into a genuine smile. "Thanks, ‘Pa."As they exited the airport, the city unfolded before them. The towering skyscrapers, the bustling streets, and the vibrant cultural diversity were all part of the tapestry that made up Singapore. It was a place where the old seamlessly blended with the new, creating a unique and dynamic landscape.Cameron's thoughts swirled with a blend of emotions. Outside the airport, they hailed a car rental and were driven to their house in Singapore. After a few hours, they finally arrived at their destination. Unlocking the door, they stepped inside and turned on the lights, illuminating their new temporary home. With a sense of familiarity, they began to unload their belongings and settle in.As they sorted throu

    Cameron's voice cracked with emotion as he hugged Osiris back. "I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for me and I'm so sorry for all the trouble I've caused, especially to your son, Sir."Osiris patted Cameron's back, his voice filled with reassurance. "Don't apologize, Cam. We're in this together. We'll face whatever comes and this dude right here, he’s fighting I know. Who knows? He’s just pranking us and he just wanted to have some good sleep and truancy."Everyone did their best to even make a smile at least just to support Osiris’ joke trying to lighten up the mood.Legacy, who had been silently observing, stepped forward and joined the embrace. "We've got your back, always."Cameron cleared his throat, finally finding the words to say what he wanted to say the most. "Hey, guys. Would you mind giving us a minute? If that’s okay to you… for me… to… have a moment alone with Luca?"Summer, Osiris, and Legacy exchanged nods of approval, giving Cameron the space he need

    "Let's eat, son," Legacy repeated again, assuming his son was still processing what he said earlier.Cameron nodded and silently followed his father's lead, matching his steps. While he had been freed from the confines of a coma, he still felt trapped, unable to find happiness.At the dining table, they sat in silence. The clinking of utensils against plates filled the air as they began to eat. Legacy looked at Cameron, concern evident in his eyes. "How are you feeling, Cam?"Cameron let out a sigh, putting down his fork. "I don't know, Papa. It's like... I'm physically here, but emotionally, I'm still locked away."Legacy nodded in understanding. "It's okay to feel that way, son. You've been through a lot."Cameron picked at his food, his thoughts distant. "I know, Papa. I'm just trying to make sense of everything."Legacy reached out and placed a reassuring hand on Cameron's shoulder. "You don't have to figure it all out right now. Healing takes time."Cameron looked up at his fathe

    Legacy remained a steady presence, offering never-failing support to both Summer and Osiris. His encouragement served as a lifeline, a reminder that they were not alone in their struggles and that their unity as a family was their greatest strength.With a gentle step back, Legacy allowed Summer and Cameron the space they needed for a heart-to-heart conversation. Mother and son faced each other, their eyes speaking volumes of unspoken emotions. As they spoke, their words carried the weight of the journey they had both endured, the challenges they had faced, and the unbreakable bond that held them together.Underneath the hospital's sterile lights and amidst the hum of medical equipment, they shared their thoughts, fears, and hopes. The air was thick with vulnerability, but also with a sense of healing and connection. The room seemed to shrink, encapsulating the intensity of their conversation.Summer's voice trembled as she leaned in, her embrace wrapping Cameron in a truss of love. "
