It was already afternoon when the exhibit had done. Kasalukuyan na akong nag aasikaso pauwi ng makita ko si Dale na nakatingin sa akin. He was looking at me seriously habang naka sandal sa pader.

"What are you looking at?" I asked him habang pilit na iniiwasan ang mga tingin niya sa akin.

"Kamusta ka?" He asked me. Umiling ako sa kaniya habang pilit na binibilisan ang galaw.

Pero habang pilit ko siyang iniiwasan ay mas lalo ko lamang nararamdaman ang presensya niya. It doesn't make any change that I am walking more faster. Dahil malaki ang hakbang niya kaya niya akong abutan. And it was making me more nervous. Kumakabog ang dibdib ko habang pilit kinakalma ang sarili until I bump into someone.

"Running eh?" Ace asked me. While looking at me. Muli kong tinignan ang likuran ko and I still find him there standing few steps away from me. Ace pull me closer before putting her hand around my waist.

"The great Dale Marquez. It's nice to meet you again." he said out loud and smile at

    "Mom." my son called me habang pilit pinipigil ang tawa. And when I arrive at the dining table ay nakita kong punong-puno si Lara ng oatmeal sa mukha. She was laughing habang nakatingin sa kuya niya. I smile at them. They are already in uniform and ready to go to school but I think she need to change again dahil kahit ang damit niya ay puno nito. "Nag lalaro na naman kayo. Didn't you two are off to school." I asked at them but they just both laugh at me before they pointed at the chair in front of me. "Sit there mom. We prepared an aotmeal for you too. Your off to work too mommy." Lara told me before pushing the milk towards me. Umiling ako sa kaniya bago naupo. It was 2 days after they start going to school and 2 days after too when I distance myself to Ace. To think and to come up for my revenge plan. Pero hanggang ngayon ay wala pa rin akong plano. I just need to prepare myself and to make myself to believe that I can conquer everything. That I can face them already. That I won

    "I want daddy mom" Lara cried when they already exited in my office. My son was just sitting at the sofa while looking at the things in the floor. Hindi siya umimik. Hindi siya nag salita. Nakiramdam lang ito habang pilit na pinipigilan ang sariling mag tanong. Hindi siya lumaki sa bansang ito. Hindi sila tulad ng mga bata na normal lang na makalimutan ang mga bagay na nakita nila kahit isang beses lang. They grew up abroad. With a sharp and advance thought. They are still playing but they think more mature than the other kid. They are 5 years old kid but know a thing around them. "Sorry honey but daddy can't make it" "He can mom. And. I want Dad too""Soon. We can meet Dad. Mom told us that dad was abroad. Working to gave us toys. Isn't pretty?" Lance voice lift Lara's head and she smile at her brother. This is us. The three of us.

    "What are you doing here?" I asked him right after I saw Dale enter my office. He has a paper in his hand while walking proudly towards me. He was smiling at me that makes me creased my forehead. "I have an offer to you. Ako na ang pumunta. You know. One of my friend was looking for a person who can gave him the beauty of arts. So I personally refered you to him. Mag papatayo siya ng isang art shop and he want you to be the architect and he wants your art. Gusto niya na mag pinta ka in outside and inside his store. Maliit na art shop lang yun but it was a big deal" He told me habang nilalatag ang isang brown envelope sa harap ko. Naka upo siya ng de kwatro habang ang mata ay kinakabisado ang loob ng office ko. "Why didn't you offer this deal to Rose?" I asked out of curiosity. Bakit nga ba ako? If he has Rose why did he offer me. Nagugulo ang isip ko dahil doon. Is there something bad between them?"Rose was busy about something" dahilan niya sa akin but I know this isn't the reas

Ace can't pick them up dahil may inaasikaso pa ito sa opisina niya habang ako ay nawalan ng ganang mag trabaho dahil sa nangyari kanina. I can still picture those words he told me. Hindi ko inaasahang sasabihin niya ang mga bagay na iyon sa harap ko. He didn't even hesitate to hug me kahit na alam niyang galit ako sa kaniya. Na kahit alam niyang ayaw ko siyang makita. Nag dududa na tuloy ako sa sarili ko. Sa mga salita ko. Sa damdamin ko. I really want to move forward but the day I saw him in that party. Even when I am mad at him and ready to kill him.

    Maaga akong nagising kinabukasan dahil sa tunog ng alarm clock. Last day was tiring lalo na at mag hapon akong umiwas kay Dale. But Dale was still following me all afternoon and even followed me coming home. Nagawa pa niyang kumaway sa akin ng papasok na ako sa gate ng bahay. That dumb ass. I stayed ay my bed looking at the ceiling of my room. Wondering how could it be if we married in perfect time. Hindi kaya ako masasaktan? Hindi kaya niya ako pag tatabuyan. Would my kid have a normal family. A mother and a father. Isa iyan sa mga tanong ko. My girl was too clueless about. What's happening. Or she wasn't. She was just acting like her brother. If she does knew a thing then I'm amazed by how good she act. Isang katok mula sa pinto ang tuluyang nag pahiwalay sa akin sa aking higaan. I slowly open the door and saw mom was picking at the gap I made when I open it. And when I finally pull the handle. I saw her smiling at me. "Hinihintay ka na ng dalawa sa baba.

    "Ano. Sigurado ka na ba talaga sa desisyon mo na yan? Final na yan? Ikaw kasi masyado kang takbuhin. Takbo ng takbo akala mo naman nakikipag karera ka." Karen told me while rolling her eyes. Inilapag ko ang aking bag bago naupo sa kama ko. I look around and see the same room I had left before. Thinking that I am back again here makes my eyes rolled. Haharapin ko na naman ang kapatid ko. It was just like we're twins. Yeah. Ako ang unang pinanganak sa ibang sinapupunan. Ako ang panganay sa aming dalawa. Ako ang nakakatanda pero bakit parang siya iyong nasusunod. "I hate it when Rose was making move on my husband. Hindi lang ako masasaktan. My daughter was too attached from his father. Hindi ko hahayaang maranasan niya ang naranasan ko.

    "Mom." my son called me noong mahalata niyang naka tulala na naman ako. I smile at him bago ko inabot ang kamay ko sa kaniya. Agad naman niyang kinuha ang kamay ko at nag lakad patungo sa akin. It's been a month since I made my decision. Humingi ako ng break kay mommy bago kami nag tungo ng Vienna. Isang buwan na kami dito. Tumakbo na naman ako sa problema ko. Tumakbo ulit ako sa problema ko. Tinakbuhan ko na naman ang problemang dapat hinaharap ko."Is daddy going here too mom?" Lara asked me. Agad namang lumapit sa akin ang anak ko bago ito kumapit sa kabilang braso ko. "Do you miss your dad?" tanging tanong ko. Kasi kung oo ay ibabalik ko na sila. Actually kahit gaano ka kaready sa isang bagay pag dumating iyon magugulat ka pa rin. Masasaktan ka pa rin. Even though you expect it iba pa rin ang feeling pag dumating na. Iba pa rin yung mararamdaman mo pag nasa harapan mo na. "Yes. And we miss grandma too. Did they bully you too mom like the way they bully me? Kuya will away the

    "I'm tired." I told him It's true. I am tired. I am really tired of this shit. Too tired of this lies. Pero parang mas nadadagdagan ang sakit na yun. Because he's here. Comforting me as if he didn't hurt me before. Isa siya sa sobrang nanakit sa akin. "Shhh. I'm here love." He whisper to me. But I push him. I tried to push him. "You hurt me more than they do. How dare you. Don't touch me!" I shouted as I push him. "Shh. Just cry. I won't leave you love." pag papakalma niya sa akin. But those memory keep coming back into my head. Trying to ruin the peace I am creating about him. I tried to forget to for once this time but I just can't. Mas lalo lamang nadagdagan ang sakit na nararamdaman ko noong mas niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit. Kinailangan ko siya noon pero bakit wala siya. It's hard to trust again lalo na ngayon. Sa mga nangyayari ngayon. "No. I can't. I still can't forget those pain you gave me. I can't forget how you treated me. It's still running back. So don't touch me!"

    The mall was pack of people. They are walking. Others are almost running. A typical mall on Sunday. Families on bonding. Kids are running. Every restaurant and fastfood was pack of family who are eating. Couples. Single. Friends. Or maybe exes who are out for closure. Pero sa dami ng tao doon ay hindi nakatakas sa akin ang pamilyang nasa harap namin. "So you plan to expose the marriage huh. Why?" My bio mom asked. Bakit nga ba? Hindi ba dapat? Ano ba ang dapat? Itago ko na may asawa na ako? Na may ama ang mga anak ko. Na kasal na ako at hindi totoo ang issue dati na nag pabuntis ako sa ibang lalaki. Na yung kinukuha at akala ng lahat na fiancee ng kakambal ko ay asawa ko pala. Are they ashamed? Well they should be. "Why? We are married. Aren't family belong here?

    "I'm going to take our children into school. Are you going with us?" he asked me habang ako ay nag aayos ng buhok. He is in my back. Looking at me straight from the mirror while bucking his belt. I don't have any idea why I say yes on his thought about this. Him in my house sharing room and acting like a parents. I'm fine with this if this is just for kids sake and also for me not to look like a fool to others. People are too confuse on what really is happening in our family. On what really made me this kind of woman. I don't care about what others may say before but now. I won't permit that. "Sure. I'm off to work too so might as well bring me to the site. Or I'll just commute." ani ko. I saw him smile before taking my things. My heart race as I watch him smile. Picking my things and walking out of our room. Lance wasn't too okay with the set up but Lara was more excited than ever. She was too happy having a dad. She always brag about it and always told everyone that she already me

    I tried to focus on my work and ignore Dale but he always found a way for me to look at him. He was now running away from our kids while we are working. Mas naiistress ako habang nandito sila. Dahil baka may mahulog na lamang ng kung ano at nandito sila nag lalaro. Dale always makes me worried after the kids. I didn't even think that having him with my side will caused such a chaos. "Dale enough of that. Stop running here and take those two out and grab some food. Hindi mo man lang ba naisip yun?" I scolded him. The two kids stop running too and look at me. Dale look down finding the right word to answer me but instead of answering he pull me and try to drag me out of that site, "What are you doing?!" I asked him. Pulling my hands back. "We're going to eat. At saka you shouldn't stress yourself up. Madali na yan matapos so relax okay. Few more weeks and our house was done." He answered. "I thought it was ours. What happened to our house Dale?" Rose suddenly spoke at our back. Agad

    I wake up the next day with Dale beside my bed. Hugging me from behind habang isinisiksik ang sarili sa akin. I saw his finger wearing our wedding ring. Holding my hands tightly when I tried to take my hand away. "Kailangan ng almusal ng mga anak ko""I already made them some breakfast. Just laid. I'm still sleepy love. " he whisper at me bago muling isiniksik ang sarili sa akin. I didn't move or even think to got up because he's holding me tight. "Just let me do this. This is the things that I missed for those times that I am running away from the marriage that I thought was fake and your scheming plan. I didn't realize that maybe you are a victim too. That maybe the both of us are victim". I hold his hand and start to feel his body at my back. I can even feel his breath in my head and his feet against mine. "What if we didn't suffer and parted for years. Are this gonna happened?""I wish we didn't parted our ways. I wish I could turn back time just to held you""But I know if yo

    "Are you sure about being with Dale again?" Karen asked me like she's not favor in that decision. "You like it too. Why ask now?""Come on.
