"Yaya do I get to see Lie today?"
"Oo naman baby boy. For sure nagaantay na din yun si Lie.." she suddenly whispered something and the only phrase that I understood was "Hindi ko alam kung tama ba sinasagot ko sa iyong bata ka"
I smiled. I love Yaya Jhing because she's always been there for me
I got outside my room and ran downstairs. I can't wait to see Lie and play with her "Moses, come eat first!" mama instructed me but I ignored her cause I'm too excited to see Lie
"Yaya, is she still coming?"
"Naku baby boy. Hindi ko alam. Dalawang oras na din tayong nagiintay at wala pa din si Lie.." she sounded as sad as what I was feeling deep inside
We suddenly heard screams from inside Lie's house. I heard Lie's mommy so I ran inside, but before I could come and talk to her, I only heard that Lie was missing
"Baby boy kain ka na. Ginawan kita ng paborito mong pagkain.." I didn't answer. Not even my favorite food can comfort me right now
"Hindi ka pa kumakain since kaninang umaga at konti lang ang kinain mo kagabi. Baka magkasakit ka niyan.."
"Yaya Jhing, did they find Lie?" I heard that Lie's parents decided for them to leave so they're not beside our house anymore
Before Yaya Jhing could answer, mom came in the room "Moses honey, you have to eat.."
I ignored her. She doesn't want me to go help and find Lie that's why I'm mad at mommy
IT'S been a year and I have not heard from Lie or her family then. I chose to be quiet now because no one can replace Lie
I'm at the school playground waiting for our driver when I saw a girl with pigtails. Lie used to have her hair like that!
I ran to the girl "Lie!" I hugged her
"Uhmm.. wrong person" a tiny voice said
That did not sound like Lie so I let go of her but I think I did it too hard so she fell "You're bad!" she said and ran away
I found out that the girl's name was Elizabeth.. Just like my sister
I made sure that I apologized, but after apologizing, she would always follow me around
We got to grade six and that feeling for Lie was getting replaced with Elizabeth. I think she reminds me so much of Lie that's why I started liking her
In high school, I made sure that we would end up together. I made sure that I courted her like every other woman in the world should feel when a guy likes them
I felt happy when she said that she wants me to be her boyfriend, but I just missed Lie more
College got around the corner at may naririnig akong rumors na si Elizabeth daw ay may kinikita na lalaki. Of course being the loyal and trustworthy boyfriend that I am, I did not doubt her
We only love each other so much na that would be the last thing that would happen to us, right?
Weeks after, she chose to leave me dahil sa career niya. I was so heartbroken I went to the bar that night without the four
There, I met a beautiful girl. And again, she reminded me so much of Lie. I don't know why, but i disregarded that thought dahil last time na someone reminded me of Lie, I got my heart broken
But I thought after that night at the bar, I would forget about the girl... But I didn't...
I became clingy. More clingy than I was with Lie and Liz..
I introduced her to the four and regretted the decision dahil the four were very close with her and I did not want that
I found out her story and at first, I wanted to be her friend, but I realized that I was feeling another level. Not friendship.
I realized that I was already falling for her. We fought so I made sure na we would visit her at work. I sang for her. I hope she got the message with my song
But Liz came back and suddenly, my feelings were mixed
I got back with Liz because I knew that she was more of a sure answer than Julie. Julie didn't really show me that she liked me. She was just nice enough to treat me like that. Right.
Her birthday came and I was not planning to greet her because I thought cutting ties would also cut my thoughts of her when I'm with Liz, but I just found myself driving towards her apartment
But then I saw her with a man. Nagalit ako ng sobra with the thought of her being with another man. I also saw a kid at the back. The guts of this guy bringing his brother just to get her attention
Graduation came and something shocking came my way. Julie said she was pregnant and I was the father
I can't remember having her pregnant dahil alam kong wala talagang nangyari. But I was happy. I was really happy. Thinking about her having my kids, I just can't contain my happiness. But I can't show her that because she doesn't know what I'm really feeling
The four always told me that I was falling for her and hinting her and I never really agreed to them but I know that they know
We got married. I was the happiest man alive. I didn't invite anyone for the sake of her privacy dahil alam kong mga babae ngayon ay takot dahil ayaw nilang ipakita na buntis sila sa mga tao. Kahit na ano ang plano niya, I already had plans on how to spend our days until our baby would come out, but on the wedding day, I got a call from her friend Charlotte
"Hello" I answered my phone
"Julie isn't really pregnant. She just married you because she saw Liz---" I quickly cut the line. She lied to me?! The last person I would think that would lie to me lied to me
My love for her rose more than my anger, but I had to get the anger out of my system and confronted her
She told me that she did lie, but now she's telling me that she's actually pregnant
I ignored her and spent my time out. I've met Liz and she said she would want to talk to Julie to congratulate us, but the day I came home, she said that she would set me free
She left me... I thought she would live in her apartment again, but when I got there, someone said that she already left..
I was devastated. I hired investigators to catch where she is at nalaman ko na nag hire din siya. She sent me annulment papers but only a dumbass would sign those damn papers
I went to London to go and look after her and saw her at a music store. I didn't know she was now into music? Was it because of me? I quickly smiled from that thought. I influenced her!
I found out that they moved to Cali. I found out that she is with her real family now..
I hope I was there when she found out that
I saw her brother with two kids, the two kids Julie's investigator were talking about. The funny thing is, I felt happy when I saw the two so when Jonathan left them unattended, I came to them
They looked like me... And suddenly, I knew that they were mine
I made sure that I had her followed. Minsan ako na ang gumagawa ng trabaho para makita if she and the kids are fine
Then I suddenly found out that she was going back to the Philippines
But it made me think. She's going back to the Philippines and I want to know the reason
Hindi din alam ng imbestigador kung anong rason why she's suddenly going back but it took her almost six years to go back
I brought her out to dinners and I heard her say I love you, I knew she was talking to the kids. I thought she would tell me then about the kids, but she didn't
At the concert, I made sure I instructed the kids to give her MY shirt and to the crew to call her up
I sang to her once again
I did everything for her to notice me once again. Then Liz came back again. I knew what she wanted to do this time so I went along with it
I figured that if she loves me, she would get jealous and do something about her jealousy so I did my own montage and left
She came after me. I was so happy!
Then everything went well. She and Liz became friends again. The kids and I are together and now I'm finally asking her to marry me again
I told her that it'd be for EJ, our little princess, but it's actually for her
She was so shocked
I even bought a goddamn ranch just because I was so happy and I saw a beautiful place inLa Union that was only supposed to stand as our reception
When EJ started speaking, I was really happy again. I didn't see the two say their first words kaya as a dad, that was such a huge thing for me
I also found out that she was filling in work for me.
I hope I'm not depriving her from the world though. I don't want to make my own destruction
"Dada, can you please give me the cereal box" I looked at my little girl
I can't believe she's five now! My little princess is five now
"No good morning for dada?" She lifted her arms motioning me to carry her so I did
"Morning dada" she said sweetly
"Whatever my little princess wants"
She pouted "Even if Katana wants it too?"
I smiled "Yes, you're my first little princess just like Kuya Jack" I placed her to the kitchen chair and fixed her breakfast
Lumabas na din ang dalawang binata kong anak
"Good morning pare"
"Good morning tol"
"Good morning sons!" they both sat down and got breakfast
"Is Katana awake?" I asked Jack since katabi ng room niya ang room ni Katana
"Yes dad. Mom's changing her diapers"
I nodded and looked at the three of them. All of them are busy eating
"I'll just get them"
"Okay dada" my little princess answered, but not her kuyas
I came upstairs to Katana's room and saw Julie feeding her
Katana is our youngest and she's two years old. She speaks so little so we predicted that she's a mini Jack
"Hey baby, good morning" I kissed her
She turned around and kissed me on my cheek too "Morning. I'm sorry I woke up late"
"It's okay baby.."
I took Katana from her. Today is Saturday and I want to spend it with them here kaya wala kaming pupuntahan
I put Katana down in her crib and started tickling Julie. I don't know why, but I suddenly felt like it
"Moe.. Stop... Elmo!..." we heard Katana chuckle but I still kept on going
"Wow! Having fun without us?" Julie and I looked at the door at nakitang buhat ni Jack ang kapatid na babae at sabay sabay silang nagsitakbuhan patungo sa amin
"Guys enough... Stop tickling me... Babies!" but we all didn't stop and just targeted Julie
How blessed am I to have this beautiful family?
