"Where's my daddy, Mommy?" Paulit-ulit na nag-eecho sa isip ko ang tanong ni Andrei. The time I'm scared to come is here. He's asking who his father is and I don't know what and how to answer him.Seconds have passed and I still can't come up for an answer and Andrei is looking at me expectantly. Ramdam ko ang nginig sa buong katawan ko."Andrei-"I was cut off when I heard somebody knock on the door. I looked at Andrei and I want to say how sorry I am pero nanatili akong tahimik as I opened the door. It revealed Mommy Miranda who's smiling at us."Dinner's ready," she announced. I gazed at Andrei, who's also gazing at me at the moment."Let's go?" Pag-aaya ko kay Andrei and he just nodded. I sighed again. Maybe it's really not the time just yet to tell him.I took his hand at sabay na kaming bumaba papunta sa dining. If it wasn't for Mommy Miranda calling us for dinner, I probably have broken down in front of my son. And I don't want that to happen. I know he still won't understand e

"Who is he, Mom?" Andrei inquired. His gaze shifted from me to Zandrey."B-baby.." I uttered. I knelt in front of him and held his face with both my hands. He looked at me and I could see the worry on his face when he saw my tears."Why are you crying?" He asked, his voice also shaking now.Hindi ko alam kung pinaglalaruan ba ako ng tadhana. The past days, I've been thinking about Zandrey and telling him about Andrei. I was preparing myself for that. But things didn't go my way.And now, on the most random day that we thought of visiting Andres, he's here... and I don't know how to tell the two of them about their existence in each other's life.I never thought this day would come this soon. I was preparing myself for meeting Zandrey. I thought of telling him first then I'll bring him to Andrei. I'll give us time to cry and sink everything in first before I let them meet. Not like this. Not a surprise for all of us like this."You're asking who's your daddy, right? This time, I will a

"Hi," Zandrey greeted. We decided to meet at a cafe near Andrei's school. Tinanguan ko lang siya as I took my seat in front of him. Agad kong kinuha ang menu na nasa table namin and scanned it. I was busy doing just that when I realized that Zandrey is just sitting there. His intertwined fingers were under his chin and he was looking intently at me. Mas lalo kong itinaas iyong menu sa mukha ko so he can't see me. I feel so conscious with the way he looks at me. Parang wala lang sa kanya iyong sinumbat ko sa kanya kahapon. I was hurt by my own words. But how come he doesn't seem as hurt as I thought him to be? I ordered first kasi nagugutom ako. I had quite a day at work. Sumakit ang ulo ko sa dami ng reports na kailangan kong i-check. May mga site visit pa ako this week kaya mukhang mas magiging busy ako. "What?" I asked when I saw Zandrey just staring. Nakatingin lang. There's not even a smile on his face. "You went through so much..." he mumbled. I stared back, not backing dow
One Week Stand Chapter 27
When I arrived at the shop one Saturday morning, Daisy was there, waiting for me. I was quite shocked that she was there. Hindi ko kasi alam na pupunta siya ngayon. Hindi naman siya nagsabi. Nakwento na niya sa akin iyong nangyari when she told Dom about the baby. She was expecting Dom to want to be out of it, but he said he wanted to be in the baby's life. Napaisip nga ako how similar our situations are. Magkaibigan nga ata talaga kami. Kung bakit pareho ata kami ng tinatahak na landas. The only difference is that Dom asked her to marry him. I kind of have the feeling na may gusto na sa kanya si Dom since college and the recent happenings just confirmed my thoughts. But Daisy was still hesitant about it and just told him to give her time to think about it. Dom agreed and gave her all the time she needed. Ngayon, mukhang ilang weeks na rin ang dumaan magmula 'non and I don't know if Daisy already made up her mind. Her belly will be bigger soon so I think she probably has a decision

What Dominic said never left my head. Pero sa tuwing naaalala ko ang ginawa niya, napapailing na lang ako. Kahit pa sa kanya mismo manggaling 'yon, hindi ko alam kung paniniwalaan ko. Ang hirap lang kasing paniwalaan ng isang bagay na hindi mo naman nakikita. "Nagugutom na naman ata ako," Daisy suddenly said. Every weekends ay napapadalas ang stay ko sa shop. Tinutulungan ko rin kasi si Daisy sa preparation ng wedding nila. She wanted to have it as soon as possible para daw hindi muna ganoon kalaki iyong tiyan niya. So whenever I don't have site visits on a weekend, kami ang magkasama. Nagkukwento siya ng mga latest happenings sa kanila ni Dom. While I was still not 100% convinced about his intentions, nakikita ko namang he really cares and I think that's important. At least Daisy has someone who takes care of her while she's pregnant. "Lunch na tayo, Ai?" Daisy mumbled. She already ate almost the whole pizza I ordered. Almost because I only ate 2 slices. And I thought she wouldn

"This is the day," Daisy happily said. She's standing in front of the full-length mirror while holding her wedding gown carefully."For sure, you'll be the most beautiful bride," I commented. She looked at me through the mirror and gave me a smile.Masaya ako. I'm happy she's getting married. I'm happy she doesn't have to be alone in raising her baby. Dumating na ang make up artists na mag-aayos sa amin kaya hindi na kami nakapag-usap. When the make up artist was done ay nauna na akong lumabas kay Daisy. Nagpaalam na rin ako sa kanya at nauna na sa simbahan."Mommy?" Andrei called and I turned to look at him. I was talking to the event organizer. She instructed me what to do since wala ako 'nong isang araw for the practice. At wala na rin daw naman akong dapat ikabahala kasi andyan naman daw ang partner ko na hindi ko alam kung sino."Baby.." I smiled at him. He looks so cute in his little tuxedo. Mukha siyang binatang maliit. "You already know what to do?" I queried and he nodded ag
One Week Stand Chapter 30
Ilang minuto na akong nasa may garden lang at nagpapahangin. Parang ayoko munang bumalik sa loob. Everything just happened so fast and I don't like the way it's making me feel.I'm wearing a blush spaghetti-strap dress. Medyo manipis ang gown at malamig dito sa labas kaya medyo nilalamig ako. Hindi naman ako makapag-aya na umuwi na kasi kakasimula pa lang ng reception. I have to go back inside pero nahihiya ako.I was just silently sitting on a bench, nakaharap sa fountain na napapalibutan ng mga bulaklak. On normal days, I would enjoy it because the flowers are so pretty, pero hindi ko magawa. I was just looking at them as I let my thoughts flow.I felt someone sit beside me. "Bothered?" Thaniel asked.I looked down at my hands that are resting on my lap. "We're friends, right?""We are," he replied. Nakita niya atang giniginaw ako kaya inilagay niya sa balikat ko iyong coat na suot niya."Salamat," I murmured."So... spill," he said.I stifle a sigh. "Why am I feeling this way?""Mo

"Good morning, Ma'am Aira," bati ni Jelyn when I entered the office."Do you have my schedule for today?" I asked."Yes po," she said as she followed me to my table. She opened her iPad and told me my schedule for today. I have meetings with my staff at 10 am, and a site visit after lunch kasama ang ilang Junior Architects namin."Is Arch. Morales here already?" I asked. "She has a presentation to prepare for and I'd like to see it before she presents it to the client.""Wala pa po siya. Pagdating niya, papadiretsuhin ko po dito," she said. I nodded and opened my laptop. It's when I noticed the to-go cup of coffee and small paper bag beside it. I haven't had my caffeine this morning because I woke up quite late. Binihisan ko pa si Andrei for school saka hinatid kasi may duty si Zandrey since last night. Kaya hindi na rin ako nakapag-breakfast."Thanks for this," I said to Jelyn as I showed her the cup before I sipped on it. Upon tasting the coffee, I suddenly feel like I can conquer t
