The next day I woke up late, at kung hindi ako ginising ng anak ko sa mga oras na ito ay himbing parin ako sa pag tulog for sure, mukhang nakatulugan ko nanaman ang mga luha kagabi, ilang buwan akong maayos na nakatulog ng walang luha sa mga mata ko, kagabi nalang muli naulit.

"What happened to your eyes?" Aey asked.

"Nothing," I assured him but he's not convinced.

"You cried right?"

"Aey."

"Mom, I'm asking you." ang alam ko ako ang nanay rito.

"Please,"

"Mom, I never lied to you, now, tell me the truth, you cried, right?"

"Aey, baby please."

"Is daddy the reason behind it?" damn.

"Aey, mommy is tired please,"

"Your tired crying all night?"

"Baby please,"

"I'm sorry mommy, if my love isn't enough to filled your he-"

"No, wag mong isipin yan okay? your love is more than enough baby." my tears escaped from my eyes.

"Mom, don't cry, don't cry." he wipe my tears by the use of his fingers and then he hug me.

"I'm sorry Aey, hindi mo dapat ako nakikitang ganito." I hug him back, umiiyak nanaman ako, kung noon sa balikat ni Meldrick, ngayon sa balikat nang sarili kong anak, ang anak ko na wala pang alam sa mundo, may alam man siya ngunit hindi ito sapat.

"Tita Michelle told me you carried me in your womb for nine months, you sacrificed for me, you're hurt because of me, its okay mom, you'd always been here in my success and in my failure, dapat ako rin mom."

"Anak six ka palang kung ano ano nang nalalaman mo,"

"Its better mom, kaysa nakikita na kitang nasasaktan wala pa kong alam."

"I love you Aey."

"I will love you always mom, I promise."

"Aey, I hate promises."

"Mom, I am not my dad, I am your son, I don't break promises."

"Your still young, anong alam mo sa pangako?"

"Tita Nayah told me that a promise is a promise. If you promise a thing, a small thing or a big thing, its still a promise, at dapat raw if you made a promise, tutuparin mo raw dapat kasi nga nangako ka." 

I'm thankful that I have a wonderful siblings from another parents like them, Michelle, Jannayah, Arista, Anna, J-mark, Aron, Kin and Jereen, kapag kausap nila si Aey ko, ang damiraming natututunan at nalalaman ni Aey ng dahil sa kanila.

"Come on, get up, we need to pack our things pa."

"Dito ka nalang mom, tumulong akong mag gawa ng breakfast mo."

"Aey,"

"Take a shower, brush your teeth, I love you mama." he kiss me and then he run out of our room.

I followed what my son wanted, I take a shower then nang makalabas ako ng kwarto ay nalinis na ang hinigaan ko. Umupo ako sa harap ng tukador at marahang sinuklay ang buhok ko, mahaba haba narin ito, I think I should cut this, bago kaming umuwi ng Pilipinas bukas. I was busy combing my hair when my phone beeped. I open it immediately, its a message from the group chat of Team Infinity.

SunognaTuko: Uuwi si Zaskiyah, naka leave na ko.

SexingIsda: Ako rin.

Chakaddoll: Matagal na kong naka leave, manganganak na nga ko e.
