It was already half a year since I attended Lau's debut party where Czesar's band performed. It was also three months after Czesar and I got official but we made our relationship private. We go out on a date but not to those popular public places in our town just the both of us since Lau also dates my brother and we don't want to see each other with our partners around. That's awkward.
Since Czesar and I attended different schools, we barely see each other. So if we both have time, we would grab the chance to meet. Czesar and the twins are attending the same school so they sometimes see each other. Sabi pa niya ay bantay sarado raw siya ng kambal sa university nila.
I am fine in our house even without the twins. My stepmom—Falaviana is coping up with me. She's nice. It's just I hated her quickly when I saw her. It was such a bad move. She just wanted to be close with us that's why she wanted the twins to come home every day last year but

I felt my mouth hung open but I don't have the strength to press them together nor take a step away from anyone else. Mabuti nalang at kinaladkad na ako ni Rawl. Dinala na niya ako sa sasakyan at pina-andar na agad ito. It took me so long to respond. Then realization hit me up.Kaya pala hindi niya ako sinusundo sa bahay kapag walang duty si Tita Viana at nasa bahay lang ito.I'm too dumb not to realize things up.That is why she said that she knew Czesar too well.That is why Lau looked so shocked when I told her things about Czesar's mom.“Salamat.” it was only the word that came out on my mouth.“Pupunta ka pa rin ba?” nag-aalala niyang tanong sa kaniya. He took a glance at me and focus on driving again.
“W-why is my mom here?” I faced at Czesar and asked him.“Mom—what?!”“That wife that you're telling about your dad! That's my mom!” I yelled at him before I could feel someone grab my arm away from those people.I was crying the whole time until we arrived home. I didn't spoke a word at Rawl not even thanks. I ran to my room quickly and burst out. I cried so hard until I felt tired and decided to sleep.The next day, I woke up feeling sick with a puffy eyes. I looked like a hundred times haggard. Good thing it's already vacation. Ayaw ko pa namang pumasok na namamaga ang mata, sana nga lang rin walang nangyaring kaguluhan kagabi, sana walang ibang nakarinig sa usapan. It would be a bad news.I didn't bother to open my phone and directed go to shower. I need a long hot shower. Good thing that I almost had a kitchen in my room that I have my own heater here so I could make my own co
"Natug ka?" out of my frustration, it was almost a joke when I said it.He was about to burst into a laugh but I glared at him so he stopped himself and fake a cough."Sorry, can't help."I only rolled my eyes at him. Lumayo ako kakaunti sa kanya para umupo doon sa parang may bench kaharap ang dagat. God, I can stay here like forever. This is the view that I've been dying for.Imagine, having a tiny house near on a seaside alone. Free to do what you'd love to. Heaven. Just by looking at the sea inspires me to do better, to have a better day.That is one of the reasons why I am saving my money. Maybe at eighteen, I can buy my own lot and build a tiny house on a seaside."By the way ga. I remember, you are interested at our city lot right?" he asked. Doon ko palang siya nakitang tumabi na pala sa akin. I guess I've been dreaming too much.
“Sorry for asking this stupid question but if you regret marrying dad, why did you marry him then in the first place?” I asked him with all the strength that I owned for a second.Now that it makes sense, I can't help but have questions in my head. Why?“Because I was already pregnant with your brothers,” she answered as she wiped her tears off.I couldn't even tell if she's saying the truth. All I could feel is her, lying.“Then why did you committed another mistake again?”“What mistake?”“Having me.”“No. You're not a mistake and all of you will never be a mistake.”I laughed. “Cut the drama Ma. So why? Why having us when you did not love dad? I know he committed a lot of mistakes but he's still our daddy.”“Because I had no choice! My parents were nowhere to find and he raped me. He raped me. Your father raped m
“Congrats baby! You made it! You're already an agriculturist!” he congratulated me and kissed me on my cheek.“Thank you, finally.” I stated and smiled happily.“Dad is in the car. Let's meet him he can't able to stand, you know dad is getting old, arthritis.” Rawl said as he offered me the flower.“Gag0 ka pa rin talaga Kuya.” biro ko sa kaniya at pabirong hinampas sa kanya ang bigay niya sa aking bulaklak. “Where's your twin by the way?” I asked when I can't see even Namiels shadow starting from the program.“She's with dad's nurse, lumalandi na naman siguro ang gag0.” sagot pa niya at tumawa.“And your girlfriend?” I asked her again, talking about Lau. An old friend of mine.“Nowhere to be found.” he only replied and made our atmosphere silent.&nbs
“Uhm. Excuse me, Dad, Kuya. Me and my friends are planning to meet right now.” I made an excuse again. Queen of Excuses! I laughed on my mind. I cannot help but to feel nervous too. I never expected to see the people whom I am hiding from. Well not exactly hiding, hindi ko lang sila gustong makita. Not because of anger, but the last time we saw each other might be the reason that made me feel it's awkward. “Oh?” Namiel asked, probably to tease me. By the way that he's looking at me, I know what he'd like to tell me. Namiel may always be cocky but his instincts were never be wrong. Kaya ayaw ko na lang rin siyang kontrahin minsan. Ako lang din ang maiinis kapag malaman niya ang totoo. “Oo nga, nakaligtaan ko lang kanina.” dagdag ko pa sa kanila. All of them were watching me, waiting for more excuses, I would say. Ev
“Oh my goooood! They are so adorable!” hindi ko mapigilang sumigaw sa tuwa nang makita ko sila.I can't help but to pinch their cheeks one by one. They even giggled that made me pinch them more.Having a baby fever is no joke.They're more likely a year old to four years old kids. Ang lalaki na nila at saka ang dami ko na talagang utang dito sa kanila. Iniisa-isa ko silang binigyan nang yakap at halik sa pisngi habang hindi pa talaga ako nakakapigil na manggigigil sa mga bata. Buti na lang rin lumapit rin sa akin sila kahit hindi pa nila ako nakikita sa personal. Ang huling lumapit sa akin ay ang pinakabata sa lahat kaya kinarga ko ito sa aking bisig at isinayaw-sayaw.“Oh? Inggit ka?” a friend asked me for fun. “Gawa ka na ring sayo, graduate ka na rin naman!” she added then chuckled as she hugged her husband.&
