'Bummer! Hindi sila nagsuntukan.' Art patted his shoulder and talked to him in a low voice. Tsk! As if hindi ko yan maririnig. May nilagay ako na super hearing adapter sa tenga ng aking android na si Dimitri. So maririnig niya lahat. Miski yung paglakad ng mga langgam.

I secretly put on a blue-tooth earphone sa isa kong tenga. I hid it with my hair and listened. "Ayoko mag-divorce kami, may anak kami, kahit na hindi siya nanggaling sa kanya." I observed them and Husky smiled at me. "Mistress, I have a colleague sa States," That made me smile back at him, "Still, I'll give you time before I contact them."

He upped and left my lab. Susundan ko pa sana kung hindi lang ako pinigilan ni AJ.

"Mommy, karga." Kinarga ko naman siya and hugged him quite tight. Kung hindi ko iniisip ang sarili ko, maybe, just maybe, I would never divorce this child's father but I remember the night before I left them.

I was a 20 year old lost and confused person, back then, naisip ko rin naman sila Ryn at Alfred, pero naunahan ako ng landi at pagiging pushover sa moment na yun.

"All set!" Inabot niya sa akin ang aking ticket at passport. Na-renew niya agad ang passport ko and that made me feel na may connections siya talaga. At the moment, pagtakas lang from my problems ang naisip ko.

I closed my eyes and took a breath, "Tara let's." I smiled at him and he seemed, relieved na sasama ako sa kanya.

"Mommy, it's almost lunch time." I nodded and put him down. Hinawakan ko ulit ang kanyang kamay at naglakad. "We're a family."

I inwardly tsked at him. Pero hinayaan ko na kasi pagod na rin naman ako makipagtalo. Namimiss ko na.
