Doon na ako hindi agad nakasagot. "Calia, dear, all families are different," I started, picking my words carefully. "Some families have a mom and a dad, some have just a mom or just a dad, and some have two moms or two dads. What makes a family is not who's in it, but the love they share." She looked at me, her eyes big and full of questions. "So, we're a family because we love each other?" I nodded, smiling at her. "Yes, dear. We're a family because we love each other very much."

she answered sadly making Lorelei to think weirdly about it, "Kahit isa, wala silang naitabi or kahit isang family picture?"Lorelei was too intrigued and Genevieve nods and show him their latest family picture 3 years ago, a family of four, "Mommy, Daddy, me and Kuya Gavin," Genevieve says and Lorelei nods "I see, seems like they erased it," Lorelei whispered enough not to be heard by Genevieve as she scroll more to her feed, "Why are we focusing about my family?"

Maghahanap siya ng pera at saka siya babalik kapag may malaking pera na siyang hawak para pambayad sa malaking utang ng kanyang ama. Naglagay siya ng konting damit sa kanyang maliit na bag. Pati cellphone niya ay isinama rin niya sa loob ng bag. Hindi niya kinalimutang ipasok sa loob ng kanyang bag ang paborito niyang komiks. Mahilig kasi siyang magbasa ng komiks mula pa pagkabata kaysa ang ma-adik sa mga social media na katulad ng dalawa niyang half-sisters. Romance-Fantasy iyon. Ang kanyang comic book na may title na Love And Destiny ang pinakahuling aklat na ipinabili niya sa kanyang ama bago ito namatay kaya hindi niya ito puwedeng iwan sa bahay na iyon.

Ayokong makita niya si Love dito hanggang hindi ko nasasabi sa kaniya ang totoo. May problema pa siya sa pamilya niya, ayaw kong isabay ang tungkol kay Love. Ayaw kong dumagdag pa sa isipin niya ang tungkol sa anak namin kaya hindi ko pa pwedeng sabihin sa kaniya. Ayokong madamay ang anak ko sa gusot na kinasasangkutan niya ngayon. Hindi ko mapigilang isipin na baka masisi ako at ang anak ko kaya nagawa ni Delgadong pekiin ang kasal niya. Alam kong hindi ako kabit pero hindi maiiwasang isipin iyon ng pamilya niya. "I have my ways. Your location is on so I can easily find you," sagot nito.

All her life, she seemed to compete with Macy in order to be the most favorite daughter, and that is unhealthy behavior as she loves her sister very much. Magi never expected she would find the love she always begged in the image of Dylan Villarosa. He’s the man she always hated the most at first, but as she hated him even more, never did she imagine that at the end of the day, she would swallow her own words and fall in the bait of love. And that’s the time she would find out the truth, that Dylan was once part of Magi’s childhood memories. Little did she know, it was Dylan… Magi’s first love.

Lumapit siya at umupo sa tabi. “Thank you,” bigla niyang sabi. Nagulat ang mommy ni Adrian. “For what?” “For loving him,” sagot ni Celestine. “And for loving us.” Ngumiti ang babae. “Family is not just about blood. It’s about staying.” Samantala, unti-unti ring bumabalik sa normal ang buhay nina Celestine at Adrian. May mga interview, projects, business meetings… pero mas pinipili na nila ngayon ang oras para sa pamilya.

sabi ni nanay sa kanya. “Huwag po kayong mahiya sa akin dahil isang pamilya po tayo. Ang pamilya ni Lorie Love ay pamilya ko na rin po,” sabi niya kaya parang may kung anong humaplos sa puso ko.

“Tama ka, anak. Ang love story natin ay patuloy na sinusulat, kasama kayong lahat.” Napatango si Jenny at ngumiti. “Then, gusto kong marinig ang buong kwento! Dad, Mom, simulan n’yo ulit mula sa umpisa!” Nagkatawanan kaming lahat, habang unti-unti nang pumapasok sina Lolo Brandon at Lola Heart sa bahay, nakangiting pinagmamasdan kami.

“You proved that love can be steady. That it can be patient. That it can be kind without being weak.” Napaluha ang ilang bisita. “You made me believe that family is not just about blood, but about the people who choose to fight for you. You chose me, Caden. Over and over again. And today, I choose you too. Not just as the father of my children. Not just as the man I love. But as the home my heart will always run to.” Napahigpit ang hawak ni Caden sa kanyang kamay.
