My Son's Novels & Stories

he suggested with those smirk playing on his lips. My son scoffed before I could speak. "Dude, let's straight to busines. We're not here for fun and whatever your mind up to just for the sake of your little games." My son retorted with his firm voice, his gaze darkening. "We are not a kids anymore; we're grown up." He taunted, and I could notice my son's dominance which making feel this little brat insulted. "Okay," malamig niyang tugon.

My son suddenly looked at me, scowling. "You and Lolo are talking about me, aren't you? That's rude, Mom," my son interjected, squaring his arms. I almost dropped my jaw at what he said. He's just 5 years old! "Hey, Andrei. We're not saying something bad about you. We're actually talking about how strong and brave you are," Dad uttered. Andrei's eyes widened. "Strong and brave? Am I, Lolo? Can I be Superman now?" He questioned and we laughed.

Kami tatlo, sa bahay, a real family. My son is alive. He’s fighting. He’s growing. At nandoon ako, para sa bawat segundo, bawat milestone. Family na kami. Totoo na. Forever.

Ngunit kahit gaano pa kadami ang aming ginagawa ay hindi kami nawalan ng oras kay Lev. Dumating na nga ang araw ng family day sa school ni Lev. Ngayon ay nagbibihis na din si Duke dahil mas na sunod ang gusto niya. Naalala ko pa na ginamit niya ang anak ko para payagan ko siyang sumama. "Mommy sama daddy?" Nung makita ko ang cute na expression ng anak ko ay agad akong napa-oo. "Punta ka kay daddy duke magpasuot ka ng shoes, magbibihis lang mommy." Agad naman siyang tumango sa akin at pa takbong pumunta kay Duke.

Paano ko siya mababawi kung wala na talaga siyang pagmamahal sa akin? Napatulala na lang ako sa basag-basag na piraso ng lampshade na ibinato ko kanina. Why...couldn't I be happy? Growing up, Dad and I never had the best father-son relationship. He and Mom didn't have a happy marriage, too because Dad is a womanizer, and mom hated him for that. I was fifteen back then, he wasn't there when mom breathed her last breath, which is why I worked so hard to build my own name.

tugon niya nang may matamis na ngiti. Pagkuwa'y narinig namin na bumukas ang pinto ng kwarto ko kung saan iniluwa n'on ang anak ko na halatang kagigising lang. "Mommy," tinawag niya ako at humakbang ito palapit sa pwesto ko. "How's my baby boy? Did you sleep well?" Hindi ito kumibo at basta lang yumakap sa akin. "May anak ka pala, Ate Ria?" tanong ni Eunice.

Parang nangangak na rin ako. “He’s perfect,” anas ko. Looking at my son, Sarus. Sarus Cortez Madrigal.

I greeted him. "Good morning, mommy. But still, I'm sleepy." my son replied weakly. I chuckled upon hearing his defending himself. "Son, wake up already. Mommy and I are already hungry, do you want us to have an ulcer?" Tyrone tried to convince. Luke just shook his head as an answer.

His voice echoed at halatang wala ito sa bahay namin. "I missed you too, baby. You and princess." I replied, "Where are you, baby?" I asked. He wants to take my babies away from me? Try me, Lee Owen! "We're going to you, mommy!" I heard my son replied, "I, princess and daddy is coming! Wait for us, mommy! We're going to spend our family day in your beautiful house inside that building!" my son added.

"This boy is your biological son?" Dahan-dahan na tumango si Ryder. Yumuko ang lalaki habang mabilis na pumapatak ang kanyang sariling mga luha sa sahig ng mansyon. "He is my son, Mom..." umiiyak na pagtatapat ni Ryder. "Reid is my biological child. He is your true grandson."
