I fixed myself when I finally wore my sandals. I stood up and walk towards the big mirror before I smiled at myself.

Today is the valentine’s day, of course I wore a red dress. There’s a color coding, so I wore red.

Red if you’re in a relationship

Yellow if you’re in love or have a crush

Black if you’re bitter

My dress is just simple. Actually there are events earlier in our university but we didn’t attend it. Actually, this is my first time to attend a valentine’s event in our university as I want to watch Paul later.

“Are you insane?” I ask while laughing. Shia wore a pink dress!

“Is this not allowed?” she asks. Is pink in the choices?

“Why are you wearing red? Are you sure that you’re in love?” she joked, I laughed a little.

“Let’s go,” I say.

Paul won’t fetch us since they are in the stadium already. Janine texted me earlier that she’s in the university already and she’s waiting for us.

We get in their car. Shia’s mom bought their family driver for him to take us in the university

    After 6 years…“Understood?” I ask.“Yes, Ma’am.” I smiled when all of them answered me.“You may now dismissed,” I announced as I saw that it’s exact 4pm already.Everyone left the room except the seven students who are in charge to clean the room for the whole week.I’ve been teaching officially in this school for two years. After I got my licensure as a LPT, I applied immediately to provide our basic needs.After they cleaned, they said their goodbye to me. I’m teaching secondary education, third year to be exact, and I’m an english major.A lot of things changed in my life after six years which is I took it as an advantage for me to focus on my goals especially now that I’m not providing my only needs only.“Mommy!” I looked at the door when I heard a cute voice from outside.A smile plastered on my face when I saw Pauline, my daughter.“Hi, baby, how’s school?” I ask as I kneel down to give her a hug.“Look, Mommy, I got 10 stars earlier,” she says before she raised her two arms

There are times that I have to stand up to take a picture with my readers.After the event, the others are slowly leaving already.

    After that day, I almost don’t want to be in public with Pauline as I’m scared that we might see him again.I saw Shia talking to Pauline while Pauline is looking at Shia’s phone screen. Tomorrow is Pauline’s contest already, so Shia is teaching her. I’m glad that Pauline is fast-learner, so it’s not hard to teach her.I took a peek of the screen, I grabbed it when I saw the picture that made both of them look at me. I gave Shia a look to tell her that we should talk.“Pauline, solve this problem, I’m going to check it later. I’m just going to talk to Mommy,” Shia says to Pauline before she stand up.I followed her, “What do you think are you doing?” I ask as I close the door of our room.“I’m doing what is right?” she says with her unsure voice, “Pauline is growing up already, Bavina. You can’t keep that in her whole life. She asked why does she have to put Ethan’s name and picture on the family tree when Ethan is not her Father. Do you think my conscience is not killing me for lying

    Bavina’s POVWe’re currently here in the coffee shop near the school. I just said yes when he asked me if I’m free since it’s embarrassing to say no, and I’m not affected anymore! I’m not bitter on what happened from our past already!I took a sip of the tea we ordered. We both stayed silent, none of us tried to speak. I don’t know why he’s in the school as I didn’t notice him earlier.“So how are you?” He broke the silence between us, I tilt my head to look at him.I gave him a small smile, “I’m okay.”He nodded, he stared at me, I looked away.“How about the child?”The atmosphere between us suddenly changed. I look at my side and acted like I’m playing with my tea without looking at the tea.“My child is okay, she’s happy,” I answer with my low voice before I took a sip on the tea again. I sit properly and faked my cough to avoid the awkwardness.I look outside to avoid his gaze. Even though I’m not looking at him, I know that his eyes are fixed on me. I heard that he’s playing wit

    “Please, Bavina… Don’t do this. I-I’m sorry, please give me an---”I cut his line by slapping his face.“Do you think everything can be fixed by just saying ‘sorry’? This is bullsh*t! Paul, where were you when I was still pregnant? Your reaction that day was still vivid to me! I still remember how you denied her in front of me! Why are you doing this now that I don’t need you?!” I yelled.I can’t understand my feelings right now. I’m happy that he’s here again and want to compensate with my daughter but everytime I remember how he left me, I still feel scared for my daughter.He didn’t do his responsibilities as a Father when I was still pregnant, what if he won’t do his responsibilites as well now that my child is slowly growing up?I’m scared of the possibilities.I gasped when he suddenly knelt down and held my hand while his tears are dropping endlessly.“Please, Bina… I love you, I still love you.

I changed his clothes for him not to get sick tomorrow. I remember the night we met, it feels like we came back to the past.I saw him kneeling in front of the car in the middle of the rain. It all started there, and it happened again now.In that six years that I didn’t see him this is the first time that I get to stare at his face for so long. He’s still scared of rain even until now. In that six years, what happened to him during the rainy days? Was there someone who helped him when I wasn’t there? Is he still dreaming of his Mom up until now?Maybe that’s what didn’t change about him.His eyes are slowly opening, I look away and I remove my hand on his face.

While I was hating him for abandoning me and the child, he was having a hard time to see me suffering.I don’t know who’s much worse between us.
