AIZA

cci wanted to stay the night para daw magkasama kaming salubungin yung third monthsary namin. andito kami sa bahay namin sa cainta. i said yes kasi lagi namang ganun. minsan after his trainings and games sa bahay diretso niya to sleep and cuddle daw. minsan naman sinusundo niya ako dito para uuwi kami sa condo niya. sa bahay ako ngayon madalas umuuwi since gusto ni mommy na alagaan ako since buntis na nga ako. minsan kina cci kami pag asa manila sina tita abi. ayaw nila ako iwan na mag-isa sa condo kasi daw mahirap na. pero maliit pa naman tummy ko. pumapasok pa nga rin ako sa school. 

nung sinabi ni cci na babawi siya, bumawi talaga siya. yung bawi na alam mo na sincere. kinikilig ako tuwing sasabihin niya na hindi na niya ako iiwan. kaya ayun kulang na lang eh itali na niya bewang niya sa akin. he's always with me. kahit alam kong nag-a adjust pa rin siya sa buhay namin ngayon na we're pregnant, hindi siya napapagod. we always see to it that we talk and pray before sleeping. he asks me how my day went, walang palya yan. kwinekwentuhan niya rin ako ng mga nangyari sa training nila or sa school. hindi na kasi ako nakakanood ng live games lagi. minsan pag nauuna ako makatulog i can hear him praying for us. for our baby and for our little family. he also prays for our studies and our future. kung hindi ka ba naman mainlove sa side na yun ni ricci, ewan ko na lang. 

ambilis ng panahon. andami nang nangyari after nung announcement namin na magkakababy na kami. cci became more in demand and famous. natatanong na rin sa mga interviews yung personal life niya since magiging dad na nga daw siya. we really wanted everyone to know about it sa umpisa pa lang. there's no need naman to keep the baby. may mga natuwa para sa amin. meron ding kontra pero i always try to look at the bright side. sanay naman na ako. it's part of loving ricci. 

having ricci around is enough assurance that i made the right choice. 

dad met ricci na. he went home with tita mildred and their kids winter and sky. they're the cutest twins. nagbakasyon lang sila for a month. daddy loved ricci like his own. 

it was a sunday lunch sa bahay namin sa cainta nung kinausap niya kaming dalawa ni ricci sa study room. 

FLASHBACK
dad: hijo hindi pa kita nakakausap nang masinsinan. i just want you to know that i'm happy that you're having a baby and i'm really glad you love aiza so much. 

cci: matagal ko na rin po kayong gusto makausap. gusto ko po kayong i-assure na wala po kayong dapat ipag-alala dahil mahal na mahal ko po si aiza. hindi ko po siya papabayaan.

dad: i want you hijo to stay with my daughter forever. kahit anong mangyari you have to keep on choosing each other and no matter how hard it is to stay in love, you have to keep on loving each other. i want our kids to enjoy a love that's meant to last. ayokong matulad sila sa amin ng mommy nila. they deserve true love. 

i know dad still have regrets pero we all have moved on from it. 

i stood up and went beside dad. i sat beside him and held his hand.

me: dad thank you for being the best dad. we know how much you and mom tried to make things work and we appreciate everything you've done for us. we are still a family. thank you for accepting ricci. 

dad: i know he's the best guy for you. i want you to be really happy anak. 

napag-uusapan na rin naman ang kasal. my family and cci's family see to it that we spend time together pag weekends. minsan sina mommy at daddy ang host. minsan naman sina tita abi at tito paolo.
