"Can you wait for a day or maybe a week, love?"

"Okay, mommy," She replied but I know it isn't. "I'm not ready to meet him anyway. I am not a big girl yet, mommy. Maybe I can even wait for another year. Whenever everyone is ready, I guess."

She wants to meet him badly but she's suppressing it. Oh my God!

I'm such a dumbass.

"Can you stay with Mama Isa? Go back to the hotel first, okay? I'll follow."

"Okay, mommy. I love you."

"To the moon and back, darling. I love you too," I replied.

I handed Isa my car keys and let them leave me on the table alone.

My hands were sweaty and trembling as if I'm being electricuted.

I ordered a glass of juice then turned my gaze towards his direction. My breathing hitched when our eyes met.

I immediately averted my gaze when he turned to his friends.

I can see him walking towards me from my peripherals which made me even more nervous.

"Hey, still busy?" He asked which made me jolt in surprise.

I shook my head. "No, not anymore," I said which is true sin

    When the kids fell asleep, Isa handed me a glass of wine as we sit by the counter. "It's hard, isn't it?" She spoke.I nodded. "It sure is hard. After all, hiding a child is never the same as hiding some love letters," I replied. "Damn, meeting him out of the blue is fucking nerve-racking.""I feel you, girl! It's a hassle! Para kang nagtatago ng kabit sa asawa mo. (It feels like you're hiding a mistress from your husband.)" She said then chuckled."Isa," I cried. "I don't really know what to do anymore!"Instead of consoling me, she hit me on the back of my head which made me pout."Don't cry on me, girl. I can't console you. I am not into dramas and operas," She rolled her eyes."Such a mean girl.""Come on, girl. Nothing's going to happen if you'll just cry all night and rant about how things have turned out. After all, these are the consequences of your choices. Pinili mo 'yan, panindigan mo. (You chose this, stand for it.)""You're pretty blunt.""I am, sis. That's why I'm your f

    "So, what did they say?" Isa asked right after I sat on the sofa."Nothing special. I just received tons of screams from my dad and tons of scolding from my Kuya," I replied in a whispering manner as I feel a little drained due to physical exhaustion and stress."Quel's the only one who doesn't know now, huh?""No, actually my mom and my sister don't know I have a child. That I have KC. Maybe I'll tell them after I settle this with Exiquel. I can't risk them going on a parade and telling the whole world about me and my daughter.""Oh, celebrities," She laughed awkwardly.Isa sat next to me and then laid my head on her shoulder. "It's tiring.""You should rest first. You told the kids to wake up earlier than five because we're leaving at that hour, right?" She pulled me to the bedroom and then let me lay with the kids. "Rest well, baby girl."Even if my mind won't stop running and starting another argument with myself, I fell asleep as soon as I closed my eyes.Maybe because my body ca

    I covered my face. At this point, it's as clear as crystals that we can't understand each other. None of us is willing to accept what the other is saying. At this very moment, the only thing we believe is how we see things from our own perspective."We could have had a happy family," He said which made my mouth gape open.A happy family never crossed my mind for the last three years. Now, I can't help but wonder, is my daughter happy about not having a dad these past years?I suddenly feel like I have swallowed all my pride and conceded defeat. I didn't say a word or two. I just stood there silently, watching him weep.I've overdone it, haven't I?"What is her name?" He asked after the long silence.I looked away. "KC," I replied. "Kiera Claudette."He nodded and replied, "Okay.""Saavedra," I added.I saw how his cold glare warmed a bit.I am not so evil to not give our daughter your surname, Quel.I am not sure how long have we fallen into silence. I was staring at his lost expressi

    My hands kept on trembling as soon as we landed. He never said a single word to me even if I was just sitting beside him. He was talking to my daughter while KC kept on hiding her face on my shoulder which is quiet uncomfortable because I was in the middle.My daughter held my hand tightly as we walk towards the car with tons of guards surrounding us.Exiquel opened the door for us when we reached my house.And to my horror, everyone is gathered in the living room with an intense atmosphere.Dad and Kuya River are sipping wine near the window. Mom and Clea are sitting at the couch. The helpers are standing at the corner.I can't help but feel suffocated as we walk into the scene."Tito!" KC said and went straight to River. The latter greeted her and gave my daughter some gifts."How's the little girl doing?" Kuya asked."I've spent every day with mom with joy and love just like what you told me, Tito," KC said.My dad cleared his throat. "Assia," He called.I looked around only to fi

    Ashton Exiquel Saavedra'sPoint of ViewEverything fell apart when she started pushing me away. I can't even enter her room because tons of guards were around.I have never seen a glimpse of her since she was discharged, not even her shadow.We lost our child. I lost them both.Several weeks has passed and the news about a car crash at the cliff where we used to hang out spread from news to social medias.It felt like someone has dropped and bomb in front of me as soon as I heard that the one driving the car was my wife.For the first time in one week, I left my room. Hired tons of skilled investigators and had the mafia involved to search for my wife.Her body was not found, there's a huge chance that she was rescued before her car exploded.Dad tried to stop me tons of times, he kept on insisting that my wife is gone, that she was burned to ashes when the explosion happened."Pull yourself up, Exiquel," He yelled when I came home drunk and they were sitting in the living room.I fel

    It kept me in the mood for hours that I almost did not fall asleep.I have my men track her location down. And to my surprise, she's been closer to us than what we have imagined.I immediately drove to where she's currently staying, playing the song she has always loved.My forehead creased when I saw someone laying on the ground as the rain falls.I squinted my eyes and parked my car on the side of the road as I walked towards her.My lips parted when I realized who it was as my heart race the moment I heard what she said."Please, tell me the reason why because I can't recall, I don't know what to believe. I want to blame it all to someone because it fucking hurts that I'm taking it all in."She was staring at the void sky while her tears are pouring together with the rain."Dear God, it's so cold in here. Can you take me up there instead?"My feet felt cold. She closed her eyes and I can't help but panic. Was she out to kill herself again?No, love. Please, not again."You look fra

    "The moon is beautiful, isn't it?" I asked out of nowhere.Her eyes darted on the moon. She tilted her head and tried to focus on it. My lips parted the moment I noticed the the gleam in her eyes whenever she stares at the moon has already vanished.She shook my head. "No, it's not." She uttered. "It's not like I am trying to plot an arguement but as far as I'm concerned, the sky will be so much better without the moon. Just the glittering stars on the night sky."She extended her hands and tried to reach for them even if she knows they're too far away and it's impossible to touch them."It'll be a total darkness in the evening," I said with a cute smile."Without the moon, the stars will shine better and will stop being a shadow of the moon. Just like how life works, a lot of people became a standard of beauty, of attitude, of everything and the rest of the population became their shadows and used them to discriminate the people who are so much far from their standard.

    "Then why can't you just tell me everything?" I faced her as our tears streams on our cheeks in unison. "Why don't you prove it? Quel, I can hear how you love me but I can't feel it. I can't bring myself to believe it."I shook my head. "Athijha, please don't doubt my love for you.""Whenever I look at your eyes, I feel nothing but the reality of winter. I can't feel and see the love you're talking about, Quel.""How, love? How can I make you feel and see how much I love you when you keep on running? Where should I start when everytime you look at me with your tantilizing eyes, the whole universe I used to see is gone? I don't know how to make you mine again when the way you look at me now is way more different from how you look at me?""You're being ridiculous."I rushed to get near her. I kneeled in front of her and wrapped my arms around her hegs legs as if I am lost kid. I hid my face on her stomach and cried like a lost kid."Stand up, Exiquel." She commanded which I refused to f

    "Clea," Exiquel called right after I jumped out of our car. "Are you hear to play with me again?" He asked.I smiled then waved at him. "Of course, what else could be the reason I am here?" I asked.I witnessed how my father treated Athijha and she witnessed how hard it was for me too. My sister and I was there for each other but we never had the power to save each other.We were exposed to tons and tons of crimes at such a young age. We were exposed to killing and smuggling, all for the mafia. And even if I want to deny it, Athijha and I were also victims of our father's craziness.My hatred towards this family grew that I even did the most stupid mistake. I used Athijha as as shield just so I can enjoy my life.I started feeling envious towards my sister when I found out that we have different fathers. And I always wished I was her because even if she's an illegitimate child, her real dad is not like mine.I'd always cry myself to sleep after dad's done with his business with me.I'

    "Why... why didn't you do it?""I don't know what to say to that person," She replied.I felt enraged towards the person she's talking about. He must hide under his mom's skirt once I find out who he is because curse the ground he's standing on to. I will definitely hunt her until he wishes he died before he could meet me.She was mumbling something but it's a little vague and faint."What? Sorry, Assia, I didn't catch it," I said.Her jaw almost fell when I said that. I wonder what's wrong with her.She laughed nervously and then shook her head. "I didn't say anything. Ha ha ha," She averted her gaze and then smiled a little. "I just find the crowd a little uncomfortable."I chuckled. "Still not used to the crowd, huh?"Something hasn't changed. "I guess I could never get used to it," She whispered in the air.I presented my hand. Her eyes traveled from my palm, up to my shoulder, and then to my bluebell eyes. A smile which reached my eyes crept on my lips as she stares at me with t

    "Then I'll just go back to my s-," Before she could even finish what she was saying, I grabbed her arm.My brows are furrowed. "Nope, you're not going anywhere. You're staying here with me."She just want to tease me and damn, love, it's working!She closed her eyes. She sighed and smiled as if she's planning some mischievous things again and wants me to be a part of it.She tugged the hem of my shirt. "What?" I asked."Will you go with me?" She asked in a flirtatious manner.I looked around. "Where?"She smiled a little. "To the cliff, of course.""No," I said which made her brows furrow."Why not?" She asked."You just want to escape this party and just don't want to hear their farewells," I replied and crossed my arms. "And what are you gonna do there? Just stare at the moon or something?"She made a face then stepped on my foot."Stop sounding so sarcastic. And it's better to talk with my son than hear their farewells and shed a tear in the crowd. So, if you don't want to come wit

    "Do you feel okay, little sis?" River asked.She tried to reach up for her brother's hand as her eyes starts to water. "Kuya," She called, almost voiceless. "Kuya," She repeated in much clearer voice.She calls her Kuya, huh? It is a Filipino word which refers to your older sibling with a male gender, I suppose. Damn, I guess I really did miss a lot of things.River chuckled a bit then drove his wheelchair to his sister's side.I gulped when I witnessed I Ath... Assia pulled her brother in for a hug."Your eye," She mumbled as she hide her face on River's shoulder."You're thinking that I've gone blind, are you?" She nodded in response. "My eyelid was just grazed by a knife. It's just a small cut.""What if you go blind in tge following years because of that?" Assia asked."I'm glad you're still as silly as fuck," River said then let out a burst of a loud laughter. "Good morning, little sis."You're not really hurt, right?""Yeah. I caught a bullet with my leg though.""Well, you're a

    "Good evening, my lady. You look gorgeous like always," I said with a smile when she opened the door."And you are annoying as always," She said then rolled her eyes. "Can I leave this bouquet here? I have a feeling that I might destroy this by slapping you with it out of annoyance.""Harsh. But sure," I took her hand and kissed it. "Shall we go, gorgeous?"She nodded. "Sure."I never knew that 4 kilometers ride is too short for us to stay in car together. Damn the time."Quel, do you know me?" She asked out of nowhere.My forehead creased. "What do you mean? Of course, I know you, Athijha.""What if my name is not really Athijha? What if it is Clea?" She joked then chuckled a bit. "Don't get me wrong, okay? What if I am just her copycat and the real one just happened to tell me everything about her life?"I smiled. "Then you copied her perfectly. Your mannerism, the way you frown, your smile, and your laugh. It perfectly matches hers. But I can never forget how her eyes look. That is

    It seems like she's havinf the urge to hit me with her bag she held herself back. "Why are you insisting that I am still your wife? You signed the divorce papers back then, Exiquel." She said.I smirked. "Oh, that? I didn't want to let go of you so I retrieved it when you left. Then I burned it together with the copies you prepared."Her jaw dropped upon hearing that. "How dare you put my money and efforts to waste?"I laughed. "Don't worry, wife. I'll give them back to you, twice. Even a million times if you ask. Anything for you," I replied then wiggled my eyebrows."What if I do something unforgivable? Are you still willing to do that?"I chuckled. "I'll always be on your side, little girl," I shuffled her hair."Exiquel," She called my name."Hmm? What is it, wife?" I asked.She took a step forward. "Do you still remember something I do?" She asked then took another step. "To the moon and back?"My eyes widened upon hearing that. My eyes shone with an unreadable emotion that keep

    I visited the pavilion I built to commemorate the faded existence of my child.I'll bring Athijha here for some other time.When I got home, I decided to give her a call.[What is your problem, again?] She said as soon as she answered the call."Are you home?" I asked.[And why should you know?] She retorted with sarcasm. "You didn't text me so I got worried. Are you home? I'm heading there," I said, making up reasons just so I can hear her talk.[No, I am not. I just left. And I don't really see any reason why you should know.]"Because I am your husband," I responded in a proud tone, giving her a hint about what I did.She scoffed. [No, you're not.][Yes, I am.] I insisted.[Shut up, Exiquel. We're divorced. Stop insisting we're not separated, you dumbass.]"Or not," I chuckled.[Whatever you say. I gotta go. There is something important I have to do. Something more important than you,] She said then dropped the call.Then she found out about what I did. She kept on ranting about h

    I felt how she got frozen on the spot when I planted a soft kiss on her forehead. I smiled at the back of my mind.I missed doing that."You're being considerate of my feelings too much again. I can handle myself, you know. Go on, love. Sleep now. I'll leave you here alone now. Goodnight, my love."I was wakened by terrified screams from the other room.Chill washed through my body when I realized it was my wife."No, son, no! No," She screamed."Athijha," I called in panic. She's still asleep and covered with sweat as she cries in her sleep."Fuck! Athijha, wake up!"She gasped for air then opened her eyes widely.She touched her cheeks and then brushed the tears away as I cup her face."Fuck! Are you okay, love?"She looked at me who's looking at her with my eyes filled with fear and nervousness.She held onto my wrist then tilted her head. "Quel," she called my name."Yes, love? What is it?

    She went out if the car and was about to guide me out but she doesn't really have to do that anymore. I jumped out on my own."It's okay, Jha. I am not drunk anymore," I flashed a smile. "You're back in here again."She nodded a little. She may not be aware of this but the way she acts while looking at the place that's used to be her home says how uncomfortable she is."You should take my car on your way home. It's dangerous," I said."No, thanks," She declined."Athijha.""No matter how much you put authority and warning in your voice, you can't order me to use this since I left my friend's car at the parking lot of the restuarant in front of the club where you drowned yourself."I took a remote out of my pants. "Then might as well spend the night here instead of going home at this hour."I walked in and didn't even dare to look back because I know that she'll choose to walk away and go with the first option I had given her.As I shower in the bathroom of her old room, my feet felt c
