I'm ready to face what the truth has to offer and its consequences but the mere fact that I still don't know how to explain everything to my son bothers me a lot.

"Mom, let's go?" Kinalabit ako ni Joaquin ng makita n'ya akong nakatingin sa kanya ng matagal.

I nodded and smiled as how excited he is to go to school everyday. Sana… kung dumating man ang araw na malaman n'ya ang lahat tungkol sa ama niya makita pa rin ako ng anak ko bilang mabuting ina. I can't endure the pain it will cause me if my son will hate me.

"Wala ka na ba ang naiwan sa room mo? Are all your assignments done?" Binalingan ko siya ng tingin, he's busy looking around that he just nodded abruptly.
