And being a good son in Mafia family is not like being a good son in an ordinary one. Kung may pagkapareho lang ay ang bagay na good na matatawag dahil masunurin sa magulang at hindi rebelde.

Nagtatampo siguro, oo."

Pinapanood ang mga batang naglalaro at iba pang mga beast na naroroon na nagsasaya, masinsinang nag-uusap, at iba pa.

At mas nangingibabaw pa nga iyon. So, yeah. I must say that that confirmed my long-unexplainable feelings towards him, my own father.

I don't even care Kung hanggang kailan na lang magtatagal ang buhay niya.

Unti-unti ang ginawa niyang paghakbang bago tuluyang nakalapit sa aking anak. I urged my son to approached his father at first he was still hesitant but when Conrad hugged him he didn't cry. Binuhat ni Conrad ang anak ko habang nakayakap at patuloy ang pag-agos ng luha dahil sa kasiyahan. There is no denying that this is his son because of the resemblance between the two of them. From the eyes, to the nose, and even the shape of their faces are the same. He is a carbon copy of his father.

"I know.. Huminga ako ng malalim. My son is a spitting image of his father. Mag dadalawang taong gulang pa lang siya ngunit alam ko na kung ano ang magiging mukha niya pag lumaki pa siya ng kaonti. Wala siyang nakuha sa akin kundi ang kanyang kutis. Everything from his eyes, nose, and lips resembled André! "Isang tingin lang ni André dito, malalaman niya kaagad."

And Azi—at his age—already thought and acted older, molded by the example of the man he adored most.

Is he a reporter like you mommy?" dagdag naman ni Matthew. Of course, they're right. They look exactly like their father!
