In the next few moments he was holding me, crying and saying sorry to me over and over again. And because her tears are superficial, I cried too.

"I'm sorry. Mama is really sorry to you, Qotorie," she apologized again. "I know that you are very hurt and struggling with the separation from my son."

A loud whimper breaks from my throat. I buried my face in his shoulder and then trembled and cried.

Mom, I don't want to! I don't want your son to divorce me! Mom, help me! Help us! Tell him not to divorce me, Mama!

"Forgive Mama, Qotorie. Forgive Mama," he repeated.

I shook my head and tightened my embrace to her.

"Why are you sorry, Mama? You have nothing to be sorry to me," I said.

"We have a fault with you. It's our fault, Qotorie. Why you're hurting, it's my fault," he continued to cry.

I caressed her back.

"It's not your fault. It is between me and Steven, Mama. But don't worry because I can handle it, Mama. I can handle it," I comforted her and myself as well.

    I shook my head and simply glanced at Steven, looked around and looked for what Zellor was saying that he and Gabriel looked alike.Steven has deep set of brown eyes, aristocratic nose which he inherited from Papa, sharp and chiseled jawline covered with stubbles and naturally red lips suited for a perfect gentleman.Actually, he has all the hard features, fit body, muscles and all, except for his eyes which are the only gentle part of his body and the one I like the most.While Gabriel is softer looking. His height is just right unlike my husband, who I assumed is estimated to be six foot or more. There is no pushover who is also handsome,but Steven, I cannot put it to words.There is a slight resemblance, yes, but if Gabriel is compared to Mama Alora, I can say that they are more alike, their chinky eyes look like they were smiling all the time. But other than that, I can't seem to see anything else. I don't know how Zellor said that. But I can't blame him because at a glance they

    "Where did you learn about this, mmm?" I asked."School. The other day Daisy confessed to Vincent, Mommy. Why can't I, mmm? We are the same age!" replied Zellor who seemed to have given Steven a headache."Why did that kid have to inherit Dallas's attitude? Come on! There is Kalilah who is nice and all," Steven shook his head.I just laughed and shook my head. He is always very overreacting. As if these kids are serious, what!"Let's stop talking about this, mmm? You are still a baby to me, Zellor. No girls. No crushes. Only studies, okay?" said Steven."But Daddy, Vincent Kay Daisy will be ahead of me, eh." Zellor started throwing tantrums.Steven and I looked at him at the same time."What?!" Steven's alma."I also like Daisy, Daddy. She is so cute and smart like me. Vincent cannot have her!" Our son keeps arguing.I jerked a little when he suddenly leaned to me, which he did because he didn't want Zellor to hear those cheap ones he released. I just shook my head laughing."Steven,

    I quickly recalled the last time I saw Steven angry like this before. His eyeballs are almost black in color, jaw very sharp and very ready to cut anything. I cringed so hard when I remembered that one time he almost beat up a guy at a party because he tried to grab me by the waist and struggled during a dance.I swallowed past a dry throat. Worried that Steven might do the same thing to Gabriel, I quickly put my palms on the floor to lift myself from running into him.And I don't understand. What I know is that I'm not doing anything wrong, but the way he's looking at us now is as if he's caught me turning left.Steven Oxford, you are different! You are the guilty one! So what do those looks mean, huh? Gabriel helped me stand up.He held my waist tightly and then lifted me up with all his might. When I am finally on my feet again, he stood up and I was even more surprised when he suddenly reached the end of my dress and shook off the flour that stuck to it.I was shocked when he then

    His story stopped there.When we got to the house, Zellor ran inside while calling his grandfather and grandmother, really very excited to tell and show them about his award. Steven and I were left in the car."Let's get inside," he said."You go first. I'll wait for someone," I said and got out of the car.Steven said something but I ignored him. I turned to Gabriel's car that quickly followed us."Nice house," he commented when he got down.I smiled at him while nodding my head in agreement. It is true that the house of the Oxfords is very beautiful and luxurious. Actually, it is so spacious and very big for few people, only the five of us, three maids, and two drivers are here with their own quarters. If Steven and I hadn't lost our second child, we would have had more. And if we didn't lead to divorce, we might have followed Kisses for five more.My heart squeezed tightly at the thought. Steven used to say he wanted us to have many, many children. He wanted a basketball team, not

    A text message brought me back to my senses. I picked up my cellphone and looked at the contents of the message.I smiled seeing Gabriel's name, but it was written in his text, I don't know if I will be happy.Atty. Gabriel Carvajal:Tomorrow is the first hearing, Qotorie. do you want me to pick you up?I let out a deep breath. Actually, I just now remembered about that again.Me:Don't worry. I can manage. Thank you for reminding me.Atty. Gabriel Carvajal:Okay. Let's get this done. I hope, the court will grant your divorce immediately. Good night.I was stunned by his reply and smiled bitterly, reality hitting me hard. Honestly, all these times, I am still in denial about what is going on. But now, now that the trial for divorce is about to begin, it's as if the bitter truth is pressed on my face. I am not sure, maybe only months or weeks are left for me.I will not be Mrs. Steven Oxford anymore. I will be single again. Alone. sad Inadequate. Maybe, I was really meant to be alone.

    Why so? All I ever did was be a good wife to him. I did everything. Everything because I don't want Zellor to experience the feeling of not having a family or being incomplete. Why does it have to be my son? Why does it have to be me? I looked down and quickly covered my face with my palms. The pain in my chest was subtle and I felt like I was going to die from the difficulty of breathing."Please, don't let him feel that he isn't loved and he is not important. Caius, that's the only thing I want you to do. Make him feel that he belongs in your family-"I started to cry when he pulled me to his chest. I want to protest and pull away but I didn't do that because ironically, his hugs are comforting me.Funny and annoying. They were right. The one you love the most is the one that will hurt you the most, too. I cried harder when I felt his hand caressing my back."I'm sorry," he whispered.I shook my head on his chest."I cannot forgive you, Steven. I will never forgive you for doing thi

    I quickly covered my naked body with the nighties in my hand. I tried to reach for the door handle of my closet door while trying to cover my body and then pulled it shut.I leaned against the back of the door, feeling exhausted and weak in the knees. I calmed the incessant beating of my chest until I suddenly stopped and realized something.Why am I doing this?He has seen me naked a lot of times before. Why should I be shy and nervous around him now?I quickly put on my underwear and wore the nighties. I couldn't help but be annoyed by his expression I saw earlier. I saw his mouth curve into a smirk. I can't be wrong. The bastard!I hugged my clothes tighter and then walked out the door with folded arms after taking a few deep breaths.I went straight to the light switch and turned it on. The cove lighting of my room immediately lit up, giving me a better view of the man on top of my bed.And he's really not leaving?I was still nervous but I tried not to show it on my face. I canno

    I tormented him again. We continued to eat breakfast and I just thanked him and he didn't complain. Zellor was about to finish when I spoke to him."Can you hurry up, baby?" I asked.Zellor looked at me."Why?" he asked.I caressed his cheeks and cleaned the corner of his mouth with maple syrup. "We will watch a movie today and maybe, we can go to some amusement park. Do you want that?" I said.I could clearly see the brightness of his eyes at what I said. I smiled when she happily nodded her head repeatedly."Take a bath now. Then, we will go," I said."Is Daddy going with us?" he asked.I shook my head quickly. I realized that I want to do this alone first. With Steven and me, I know I can explain everything better to him."He has to go to work today," I told him.He shook his head and looked at his daddy behind me."Daddy? Can you be absent today?" he pleaded.Before Steven could speak, I preceded him."He can't. He is needed at the hospital. You know how busy his work is, right?"

    I breathed a sigh of relief when he said that. Is that why she seemed like crying?"But," she trailed off."Aunt?" I called, fear returning to my chest.I thought Gabriel is already awake?"Can you talk to him now, mmm? We can't stop him from disappearing and we're looking for you," he said."Alright, Auntie! Let me talk to him!" I answered quickly.I stopped walking. A few moments later I heard the disturbance of the line on the other side and Gabriel's strained voice."Qotorie?" he called my name."Are you okay? Gabriel, thank God you are awake!" I said."I want to see you, Qotorie. Where are you?" instead he said.I bit my lower lip."Someone just went. But I promised you, Gabriel. When I get home, I will go to you immediately," I assured him."Tori, I want you beside me. Qotorie," his voice softened."Gabriel?" I called because he suddenly disappeared from the line."Hello? Gabriel?" I call again."Hija, it's his mom again. He fell asleep again. He was injected with a sedative so

    I almost died laughing at Serge. He is very entertaining. No wonder, he is seen on TV. Sage even added that he prepared a sexy dance performance for Calianna to the accompaniment of a popular song.Under the white lightIn the yellow moonHear my cryIn the yellow moonMy jaw really hurts from laughing. Sage is dancing like a macho dancer in a gay club."Mommy, I am going to pee," Zellor called out to me.I was about to get up to go with him but Steven made a presentation that he would be the one to accompany our son."It's me. I will have to answer a call, too," said Steven, slightly raising the cellphone and showing me that Mama Alora was calling him.I nodded to him and looked at Nina and Kalilah who were approaching me."I could never look at Sage the same way again," Kalilah said while sinking to the chair beside me."Oh, things we do for love," Nina said while also sitting next to me."Where is Davina?" I will ask."Mmm... She is with her babysitter. She's asleep," said Nina."V

    I bowed my head as my tears fell. Uncle Segismundo! Is that for me?"Don't ever give up on each other. Do not be fooled into thinking that love is supposed to be easy. It is not. It will never be. Because marriage is not just an occasion if it is not a relationship that forever that you both swore before the Lord," Tito Segismundo added.Steven, are you listening to him?You will be hit!"I wish you all the best. Give me lots of grandchildren, huh?" Tito Segismundo continued to laugh. Then, he raised his wine glass and we all did the same. "Let's make a toast to the new husband and wife," he concluded.Then, we clinked our glasses with the spoon just like in the traditions, signaling a kiss from them. Sage happily kissed Calianna as if there was no tomorrow."Bro, can't wait?" Serge groined again.Then he stood up. He pulled Steven, Davin, and Dallas upright one by one then pulled them to the middle, raising the wine glass they were holding."To finally getting our asses back together

    The reception followed at the resort. It was almost seven o'clock in the evening when the wedding ended. It was short but sweet and intimate. I looked around the event hall andfind it really impressive that in just a short notice, the resort staff were able to decorate the whole place grandly, it was very aesthetic to the eyes.The backdrop in front is made up of hundreds of white and pink colored flowers. The lightings around are just enough to light the mood needed by the occasion. And even though we were only a few of their guests, we were eating food.Sage really knew how to spoil Calianna.We settled on our assigned seats and waited for the mini program to start. In front was the newlywed, Sage could not get his hands off Calianna."Look at the horny man! Maybe that one is forgetting that we're still here?" I heard Serge say to Steven who was right next to me, referring to the groom whose face is now pressed against the bride's neck."Fuck yourself, Serge. Why are you so pressed

    I sighed as I laid my back on my bed. It is not that I am closing my doors for love. I also said and promised myself that I will love someone else besides Steven. But then, right now, I have no interest about finding myself a man. Besides, it is going to be unfair to the man that will come my way knowing that I am still in love with my ex-husband.I grabbed my pillow and threw it over my face.Steven Oxford, how could you forget?I regretted staying up that night because I woke up at noon the next day. With quick movements, I took a bath and put on the shirt Steven told me to wear, then, a white pants, and red rubber shoes for my feet. I'm just thankful that my hair is short and it won't take any more time because I'm really in a hurry.I glanced at myself on the mirror and smiled at the red printed shirt I was wearing. I folded the sleeves once. I knotted the hem at the navel then turned around and looked in the mirror at what was written there.#TeamOxfordI was distracted when my p

    One sleepover stretched into two. Wednesday and Thursday quickly passed by. We wasted no time to practice the performance we will do tomorrow. It was decided that Steven will play his guitar and on the other hand, Zellor and I will sing.It was the night before Friday when they told me to go home. Steven told me that he has to do something else. And I swear that it was the hardest. I suppressed my emotions and faked a smile while waving my hand at Zellor who was already there in the back seat of the car.I could not stop myself but go near him. The car windows on his side were rolled down and I took the opportunity to touch him. I smiled and gently caressed his cheeks."Mommy," he called me while peering through the window."Hmm?"I blinked away the tears in my eyes.Qotorie, when will you get tired?"I still don't want to go home yet. I like it here," he said as he looked up the floor above the café, my room, as he began throwing his tantrums again.We had to force a few times before

    We used to do this before. When Zellor doesn't have class and Steven doesn't go to work, the three of us go here. They will help me bake breads and cakes, then together, we will eat some after with a good cup of coffee for Steven and me and milkshake for her.Good old times.My lip quivered.Don't cry.Don't you dare cry right now, Qotorie!I eventually managed to keep myself composed all the while the three of us were in the kitchen. Fortunately it wasn't what I expected. Back then, when I thought that the three of us would be together despite our situation, the feeling would be very difficult. But to my surprise, it was the total opposite. We even managed to laugh and tease.While the pastries are in the oven and while I am waiting for it to be ready for the counter, I began wiping the marble top clean. I laughed and looked at Zellor when he came out of the kitchen to play with Sally and some of my staff.I thought that Steven followed him but he was behind me and I was surprised wh

    I hardly brushed the sleep off my eyes again, because maybe I was just dreaming or something.But they are really here!What are they doing here?"Daddy, we should buy Mommy the digital door locks with the censor. I do not trust this doorknob. Some thief might barge in," said Zellor while watching Steven as he was doing at my door."We will do that, baby. But for the mean time, this is a double lock first," answered Steven, giving my door another hit with a hammer in his hand.What are they doing at my door?And why are they both here so early?I feel so disoriented. I removed the blanket that covered my body and then left the bed. I hugged the blazer I was wearing as I walked near them."Mommy! Hey! You're awake!" Zellor exclaimed as he looked back at me and then greeted me with a warm hug.I squatted until our heights met.I returned the hug to him while looking up at Steven."What are you doing here?" I will ask.Zellor resigned and answered my question."Mommy, didn't you say that

    I couldn't move for a few seconds because I was so shocked. And when I did, I regretted that I had not made the slightest move.I tripped shamelessly on my own feet, almost, if not because of the man's quick movement, I must have been swimming with the garbage behind me."Oops! Careful!" he said, holding me tightly by the waist.I quickly got out of his grip, as if I was electrocuted, quickly moved away and straightened up, still catching some breath.I feel like my heart is in my throat. What is he doing here? At this time?He chuckled and shook his head, the dimples on both his cheeks left me speechless.I squinted my eyes and surveyed the man. I couldn't be wrong! He is the one I saw earlier in the café! He was the one that the customers were lining up and excited about earlier!The thought of those female customers and the I'll things they have said about my café made my anger rise again.And now, in front of me is the barista and the owner, and probably the one that created the c
