I'm wearing a pink pullover, black shorts, and white rubber shoes. I put on a minimal makeup, just enough to give my face a natural look.
Tomorrow is my best friend Kalia's wedding. I'm with my...
"You look so beautiful mommy" I glanced over when I heard my son. He is wearing a White Adidas shirt and black pants.
"Oh my God, baby, ang guwapo mo naman! Kanino ka ba nagmana?" tanong ko sa aking anak. at niyakap ito
"sayo lng nmn po ako nagmana mommy" sagot ng anak ko at humagikgik
"Let's fix your hair," I said, as my son approached. I combed through his messy locks.
"Done, Lucas. You look very handsome" Just like your father.
hinalikan ko ito sa noo bago tumungo sa kwarto upang kunin ang mga gamit na aming dadalhin.
"Mommy, we're all set! Can we go now? I'm super-duper excited because it's my first time going to the Philippines! I can't wait to meet all our relatives!" he exclaimed.
My two suitcases were already packed, while Lucas had one suitcase and a backpack.
Kalia's wedding was still a week away, but we decided to head home early para makapahinga kahit papaano.
Her wedding venue was an exclusive hotel, a testament to her fiancé's affluence. Lucky her, being spoiled by her partner. I, on the other hand, was left pregnant and abandoned. lol
"Mommy, where is tito Kyle na ba?" Lucas impatiently asked. He inherited impatience from his father. We were at the airport, waiting for Kyle, who would also attend the wedding because his crush, Althea, Kalia's cousin, would be there.
kyle is my cousin.
"Baby, just a minute, he'll be here soon," I reassured him.
"Ate Serah!"napalingom ako sa likod its kyle running towards us
"Tito kyle!!"tawag ni lucas
"Why so mabagal" Dagdag ni lucas at ngumuso
"Sorry na baby, nangchix lang si tito," ani nito habang tumatawa, napapailing naman ako.
"tara na baka may naiwan ka pa kyle alalahanin mo na habang di pa tayo naalis"
"Okay na, ate. Everything's already settled." aniya
Tumango naman ako at nagtungo na kami sa aming pupuntahan.
3 hours later...
we are here in the plane already gigisingin ko na si lucas dahil kakain
"Lucas, wake up, it's time to eat," I said, realizing he was fast asleep. He hadn't slept well last night due to excitement.
He blinked his eyes sleepily. He inherited Eugene's eyes, nose, lips, eyebrows, skin color, and even his height. Lucas got all of that from his father. It's unfair; I endured nine months of hardship, yet he takes after his dad.
"mommy i want milk"
"here nak eat kana din netong bread"
Tumango lang ito at kinuha ang isang baso ng gatas at ang tinapay, kumain ito na tila gutom na gutom. Ang takaw talaga, eh.
"eat slowly lucas wala kang kaagaw"
"Hehe mommy drinking milk and eating a lot makes us grow up faster right?"
"umm yes baby why did you ask?"tanong ko ng nagtataka
"That's why I'm eating a lot, Mommy. I want to grow up faster so I can marry Lucy, and she won't have anyone else but me," he said, giggling.
aba.
"Oh, you're still young, Lucas. Finish your studies first and be a responsible man, remember that," I advised him.
"Yes, mommy, i will be responsible. di po ako gagaya kay daddy,"
"what do you mean lucas?" nakakunot noo kong tanong
"Am I wrong, Mommy? Daddy was irresponsible. If he were responsible, he should be here with us right now, hindi
Yung career nya ang pinili. dapat tayo pero what did he do? he left us!"
"Lucas anak, don't speak ill of your father. He had his reasons," I calmly replied.
"Reasons? Is leaving us worth it?!" he yelled
"Enough, Lucas, finish eating. You have too many questions," I scolded, not realizing I had raised my voice
"Mommy..."tumigil ito at bigla nalang humikbi.
"Shh, baby, I'm sorry for raising my voice. I didn't mean it," I apologized, hugging him tightly.
he's still crying kawawa nmn ang baby ko nadala lng talaga ako, pero mali na sinabe nya kahit na ganon ang ngyare ay tatay parin nya iyon.
"I'm really sorry, Mommy. I won't speak ill of Daddy again," he apologized, tears streaming down his cheeks.
After that, we both fell asleep, still with a long journey ahead of us.

"Ate Serah, wake up, we arrived!" Kyle's voice jolted me awake. I quickly got up and gathered our belongings.
"Lucas, let me carry you," Kyle offered, lifting my son.
"Are you sure? mabigat yan," I hesitated.
"No problem, I'm a man," he joked.
"Haha, sorry, I forgot. I thought you were gay," I laughed.
I grabbed my phone and called Marielle.
"Hello, Ate, I'm almost there," she answered.
"Okay, we're at gate 5," I replied before hanging up and placing my phone in my bag.
"Let's sit over there, Kyle," I suggested.
"Sure, I'll wait for Marielle here. You two can sit there," he replied.
"Okay, let's go, Lucas," I called out, lifting him up. We made our way to the seats.
After a few minutes, Kyle called us.
"Ate, let's go na, marielle is here na," he announced.
