Some things are just plain and bold but wait when you finally see its darkness

"Hi Ma, how's your trip", we decided to go back in the Philippines. Since my Mom were taking a short vacation , we though that it'll be a great time.
"Tiring but it's ok, so nasan na ang napaka gwapo kong apo", tanong nito habang nilalapag ang mga gamit nito.
"Kasama si Edward sa kwarto", well you heard it right. We back together. What happened in California is obviously a night to remember.
"So, you and him are back together huh", her mom teasing her.
"Yeah", she say. "well after that night. When I recall, it brings my face into red apple. Yeah, Edward and I had some catching up. Most of couple do when they meet again or got separated for a years. So I think no need to elaborate those little private details. You and your love, alone and still madly deeply in love with each other, what are you supposed to do, played under the shimmering light of love. Am I ecstatic. Well thats what love can do.
"It's good to see you smiling again, after what you've been through, you deserve it my dear", she say from deep within.
By then, Divine, Dave and Laura coming their way . Did I mention that they're with us.
"How's flight? ", Divine interrup. While then, she gave a warm welcome hug to my mom.
"Tired but seeing you all, it's wonderful", she smiled and greet Dave and Laura.
"Ma tingnan ko po muna yung mag ama ko ha", paalam niya at iniwan niya ang in-law's niya kasama ang mama niya
"I think we deserve a celebration, what do you think", sabi ni Celestine.
"I agree. If we didn't do that, there'll be no happily ever after right?, Divine added.
"Did they know about that? Laura interrupted.
"No, we told them a different story", Dave intrude the conversation.
"Don't we need tell Edward and May about it", Celestine asked.
"I think we need", Divine's replied.
"Ano po yung dapat naming malaman?", tanong ni May. She heard them talking so seriously and she's a bit curious what is it all about. She sat between her mom and mother in-law.
"Well May, don't get mad ha. Me and your Mom, well how do I start?", Divine paused for a while.
"Ako na siguro", Celestine continued. Ako at si Divine ..well nagkaroon kasi kami ng isang little prank ..."prank with benefits", she say while trying not to laugh.
"Prank with benefits?", ano yon?", kunot noong tanong ni May
"It's about J.E. The truth is hindi siya nawala, itinago siya ng mga in-law's mo...Dave and Laura is our accomplished.
"We're sorry", Dave and Laura answered in synchronize
"What?", her eyes widened while hearing the truth.
"Wait, makinig ka na muna anak. Well Divine and I talk about you and Edward most of the time on the phone. We both know that you'd still love each other. So gumawa kami ng paraan para magkaayos kayo. Which is yung itago namin si J.E para magkasama kayo. We think na baka sakali, in bad times, magka ayos kayo for the sake of J.E. And I think mission accomplished", her mom's smiling while revealing the whole truth about J.E's lost.
"May we do it for a good purpose. We want you and my son to get back together. And we don't want our grandson to grow without a father. Sorry for causing you trouble but it was worth I think", Divine sincerely apologize.
"Alam ba ito ni Edward? ", tanong niya habang isa isa niya tiningnan ang mga tao sa paligid niya.
"I told him about it one time and he had the same reaction as yours, he get mad at first because of you. He told me that he felt so bad about J.E's lost. He saw you in stressful situation. He blame himself about what happened to you and your son's lost. But then, he thank me because you and my son get back together", Divine look at me in my eyes. I saw her sincerity and love for her son. She squeeze my hand letting me feel her deepest apology.
I don't know what to feel , felt bad but then I think they have a point. We got separated because of some problems and problems do bring us back together. Yes things happened for a reason.
"It's ok po. Hindi po ako galit. Medyo nabigla lang. Pero bakit di po sinabi sa akin ni Edward? ", she say and think why did he hid it from her.
"Because ayaw kong Magalit ka na naman sa akin", sagot niya habang papalapit karga karga ang aming anak. "Alam ko naman , in time malalaman mo rin kaya I don't want to spill it out first ", he continued.
"Well then, past is past. We're all here so I guess let's have a simple celebration ",Divine say while getting up from the couch.
"I think I say that before", Celestine say.
"We have so many things to be thankful for, I think let's attend a mass first then we will eat anywhere you like, like it", Dave say.
"Can I have some cappuccino instead?", Laura interrupted.
"Coffee again?", her mom shrug.
We laugh at her last words. Well, it's because Laura is a bit addicted to coffee.

"Hobby, hanapin mo si J.E, uuwi na tayo", we all decide na mag beach since summer na.
"Ok wifey", he say while motioning me "a hand salute". I smiled at his gesture. Can I say this " I'm falling for him more and more". I didn't regret that I give him another chance.
After a few minutes Edward came back to me running.
"Wifey I can't find him?", he's
"Ano? , hindi ba naglalaro lang siya don sa swing kanina. Malapit lang sa kanila yung swing kung saan naglalaro si J.E kaya nagtataka siya at di nakita ni Edward.
All of us look for him. But unfortunately no one's find him.
"Ma, is this a prank again?", Edward asked her mom.
"This time, No. I didn't.", his mom's replied.
"Then where is he?", his tone bit loud.
A phone rung it was Edward's phone. From unknown number.
"Hello?", as he answered the call.
"Yeah", he continued. We didn't heard what they were talking about but it seems serious based on his reaction.
"What? Who the hell are you?", he shouted.
"Don't hurt him, I'll do what you say, just don't hurt him", he emphasize the word don't hurt him.We all felt scared and nervous as we heard him say that. We don't want to jump into anything bad conclusion but it was J.E who comes into our mind.
"Ok I will"
"Just let me hear his voice"
"Son, it's me daddy, don't be scared, we will get you from him ok, I love you son. ......then a call ended.After that call ended, I hurriedly asked him what was that all about
"Let's talk about it when we got home", he answered but his expression is like he was ready to kill someone.
Most poisonous people are those who acted like "the nicest one"
