SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

“Look, Irma!” Ana starts again when we just remain staring at each other with her brother like strangers. We both look at her. “I know that my brother messed up big times. I know that you may still be hurting. But for your daughter’s sake, leave whatever bitterness you have against him and establish a good relationship with him. Your daughter needs to see that—her mom and daddy at peace.” She states.She has a point. And I know that. And I want that for my child. I do not want her to see us fighting like cats and dogs with her father. For all I know, that kid is blamed for every odd thing about her dad. I want that to stop. I do not want her to point her fingers at me again. And above all, I want her to have peace. I want her to be happy. And the starting point of that happiness is us—the way Ray and I conduct ourselves before her.“Look, Irma.” I turn to Ray as he speaks. “You are right. This is all my fault. I caused all this, and you do not know how much I regret it. I know it is s

TIME WILL TELL

I wait and wait and wait. They are not coming out. Why? Did they change their minds? Has he realized that he can’t live up to his promises and my conviction? I open the door again and pop my head inside. They are both lost in their own thoughts. No one is facing the other. I doubt that they are even cognizant of each other’s presence inside this car. Weird! What happened?“What is going on?” I implore, snapping them both from their engrossed thoughts and dragging their attention to me.They both take deep sighs and breathe out at the same time. “I am just worried that my daughter will not want to see my face after I failed her today,” Ray says.Yeah! He has a good reason to worry because, recalling how I left my daughter, he has a lot of explaining to do. I won’t intercede on his behalf. He will carry his own cross.“And I am ashamed of showing my face to that innocent child after learning what my mother did. I think it was a mistake for me to come here. I don’t think I can face her.”

FAMILY

Walking inside the house, Angel runs to her daddy’s arms the moment our noses pop into the house, while Julie remains mouth-ajar after seeing Ana. I shut the door behind me, knowing that her sermons were piling up in her head. I know I will be in for a baking-hot lecture when she decides to break the cold-shoulder strike.“I missed you, daddy.” Ana whimpers while her face is still buried in Ray’s neck.Ray tightens her arms around her in their intimate embrace. He is on his knees to match her height. His eyes are shut, letting the messages for his daughter flow through his system. “I missed you so much, princess.” He says this, kissing her as he pulls her away from the embrace. He cages her tiny arms into his hands, showering her with kisses before speaking again. “Daddy is so sorry, okay? I got caught up in something, but that will never happen again.” He explains—short and straight.“Would you have come, Daddy, if Mom didn’t come for you?” Angel asks softly. It seems like she has cr

ITCHING FOR GOSSIP

I hate chopping onions. It's poison to my eyes, but since it’s the only inevitable ingredient, I take two and peel them off. I then soak them in water. It’s a remedy that works for me always for easy chopping without tearing up.Next?Wait.What are we even cooking?I turn around, only to find this gross Julie was just leaning on the kitchen counter and gawking at me. I thought she was in a hurry to cook something. I thought she should be in a hurry since the guests were waiting outside.Sigh, though! What does she care about them?She doesn’t. It most likely is the reason why she needed me here. Just to let me know how much she hates how I am doing things nowadays.“What are we preparing?” I ask because the stare challenge is waking me up.“I don’t know. I have nothing in mind. Why don’t you tell me?” She says, shrugging her shoulders.Me? “Why me? I thought you had it all planned, which is why you needed my help.” I state as my head goes on a spree to figure out what to make for the

A PUZZLE TO CRACK

“She what? Why don’t you just go and slap that witch with the evidence that she freaking wants and let's see what she will have to say next? I will even take you there myself. I want to see her deny her crimes even with the evidence in front of her.” She says, angrily.“No. Not yet.” I state.“Not yet? You would rather Ray and Ana be torn about who to believe because you don’t have the evidence? Are you worried that they will never believe you completely until they see the evidence?” She asks.I shake my head. “That is not going to happen. I already have Ana and Ray on my side.”“What makes you so sure?” She queries.“You should have seen how Ana questioned her mother. They even dared her to swear that she was innocent. They are still in shock at what her mother did, and they hate her. Not completely because she is still their mother, but the detest they feel for her is enough for me.” I state. I wonder what that is feeling right now. What is she saying about her children being with m

A SATISFYING MOMENT

Watching Angel play with both her dad and auntie has given me such a satisfying feeling. She has almost laughed her ribs out, and that is something I have not witnessed in days. The way she is keeping that smile on her dad’s lap conjures a smile on my face. I desired to see her this way once again. And today, I make a vow that I am not denying her this happiness again. These two souls have nothing to do with the sins of their parents. They deserve to be in her life. I want to always see her this happy.Yes. I am keeping them. I will genuinely allow them to be a part of my daughter’s life while I take advantage of that and take my revenge against their wicket mother. I will have a sample of complete merriment in this game. I will have the best of both worlds. And I think that the time to talk is over. Time for action.“Umh…Angel, baby?” I call her.She grins broadly, batting her eyelashes, and she giggles. “Yes, mom?” She says. She is the little miss, all smiles.“How was your bonding

OFFICE SURPRISE

My daughter is all bubbly as I finish preparing her for school. She is even humming some unknown songs that I have never heard of. Wow! How does life change? “You seem so happy, baby. What's up?” I inquire as we go downstairs for breakfast,She jiggles. “Of course I am so happy, mom. Daddy is driving me to school. Finally, my friends will meet my dad. They will know that I have a daddy just like them.” She says so proudly.“Were they bullying you because you didn’t have a daddy before?” I ask. I can't remember how many times I have banged her with this question, and I usually get the same answer. I just feel the need to ask because today she is in a good mood. Maybe I will get a different response today.But she shakes her head. “No, mommy. I just felt a little jealous seeing them have their daddies while I only had a mother.” He says.A little jealous? All that she put me through was all because she was a little jealous. My! What if she grew more jealous? Would she have burst like a

UNDENIABLE FACTS

“It is alright. I forgive you. Just trust me when I say that everything is under control. I am at the top of this game, and I will not allow anything to happen to you and Angel.” I explain.“And you too, Irma. You can only keep us safe if you remain safe yourself.” She says.Yeah, me too. I know that. “Me too. Nothing bad will happen to us.” I affirm.“I trust you.” She whispers. I can sense the sincerity in her tone. Her face is smeared with honesty too.“Thank you. And please, can we not fail again? This is unlike us. If ever you doubt my plans, ask me nicely, please." I plead.“I will. I will not even question you again. I trust you wholly. And I am behind you throughout this whole journey.” She reassures me.“Thank you," I state.She smiles, assuming a different facial gesture. “Aright. Back to where we were now. So, how do you find him now? Don’t worry. This will remain between us.” She asks, all smiling on.Sha! Sometimes she acts like a real chameleon.“Forget that. He is tryin

OUT OF HUMANITY

Ray clears his voice after a moment of silence. “I just came to check what has been keeping you for so long. Angel is getting late for school.” He says this while standing at the doorway. He always has bad timing to pop up. I hope he did not hear it all.“I will take the breakfast to Angel. Julie says as she grabs the tray in haste. Shiet! The gossip got us so hooked that we did not see time fly by. What were we thinking? To think that the poor guy came in even before time. Can I curse this friend of mine for arousing such mid-hooking gossip? “Hey! Where are you going?"Huh!I halt my course and glare at this one. What does she mean by where I am going? Am I not counted for breakfast or what? “To have breakfast, of course,” I state, glaring at her as she stands beside Ray, both of them closing all the space that I can escape through.“No. Don’t worry. I will serve Angel. Why don’t you stay here for a while and have a word with our guest? I am sure you have not even greeted him, right?

A BAD JOKE

“Pregnant?” I snap, secretly feeling my belly with one hand. But my tummy is as flat as always. And even if that one-time mistake bore fruit, it could not have grown that big to be seen, much less to be noticed by some man who has zero knowledge about signs of early pregnancy. I doubt even the machines would capture it. Damn! I hope that does not happen, though.He urges me to smile after noticing my squeamishness. “Yes. With words. You have been staring for minutes.” He explains.Ooh. He should have just asked if I had something to say. That was such a long way. And wait, I was the only one staring? He wasn’t?“You were staring too. I think you are the one who looks like you want to say something. So, what’s up?” I ask, resting my back on the kitchen counter.I cannot believe I am doing this. I don’t even know if I am doing the right thing. I am taking a huge risk.He looks down for a minute, then drags his eyes back at me. “You really want to listen to me? Are you finally accepting
