■ Kelly's POV ■
"Hello bitch!"
Eto na naman si Carla, ang aga-agang nang-gugulo through videocall.
"Hey Nathan, say Hi to Tita Carla.. Come here baby.." tawag ko kay Nathan habang inaayos nya ang mga toys na ipapamigay niya daw sa mga pinsan niya.
"Hi Tita Carla-- will you go pick up me and Mommy at the airport?" Sobrang daldal ng anak ko, ni hindi pa nga alam ng Tita Carla niya na uuwi kami sa Pinas.
"Oh-- sure baby! Tita Carla will go pick you up! Will you give the phone to Mommy?" Sagot naman ng bruha.
"Okay, see you! I love you Tita Carla--"
"I Love you too, my cutiepie.."
"Hahahaha. Oo na, I owe you an explanation. Eto naman kasing si Nathan, sobrang daldal. You know, I was about to tell it to you, but I realized I wanna surprise you as well. So yup, we're gonna go home, 5days from now.." sagot ko agad kay Carla, after Nathan gave back the phone.
"Aww~ See you after 5days sis. We have a lot to talk about, alam mo yan!" Sagot nya.
"Hahaha- of course! That's the first thing we're gonna do. See you sis, love you!" Then I hang up the phone.

I decided to go home, because Nathan always wish to have his birthday celebrated in PH together with his cousins, lolo and lola, and other relatives.
So, this is it.
After 5 years, I'm gonna go back and feel the breeze of memories.
/ flashback /
Nathan: Mom, will you allow me to see my Daddy when we go back to the Philippines?
"Of course love, but I want you to be a big boy first then we'll gonna see Daddy.. Okay?"
Nathan: I'm turning 5 Mom! Am I not a big boy yet?
"Aww.. Mommy knows that, but I need to talk to Daddy first, sometimes he is very very busy.."
Nathan: But if you love someone, you'll be giving them some of your time right? Mommy?
"Yes baby. That's right." *teary eyed*
Nathan: I bet Daddy loves me! Because he's sending me gifts every year, and he's greeting me every holidays! I wonder what he looks like. He never sent a picture him.
"You look like him, baby.. I told you Daddy was always busy. But don't worry! I'll ask him to send a picture of him okay? Are we good on that?"
Nathan: Yehey! Best gift ever! Yes Mommy, pretty please??
"Since it's my baby's request! Why not. I love you, baby.."
Nathan: Good night Mommy, I love you too, more that the stars in the universe! *giggles*
I kissed him in his forehead and turned of the light before he notice that I was crying.
/flashback ended/
I'm guilty.
Hindi ko naman gusto na madamay si Nathan, sa kasalanan o kamalian na nagawa ko.
Hindi ko alam kung saan ako mag uumpisa and going back to Philippines was never a choice.
Pero alam ko na mangungulit lang si Nathan, dahil sobrang gusto na niyang makita ang Daddy nya.
Ayoko siyang lumaki na walang kinikilalang ama, kaya sinabi ko sa kanya na ang Daddy niya ay nasa Philippines.
Hindi ko naman akalain na habang lumalaki siya ay mas lalong hahanapin niya ang presensya ng Daddy niya.
Pero simula noong pinutol ko na lahat ng nag uugnay samin ni Ethan, wala na din akong balita sa kanya. Ni hindi man lang sumagi sa isip ko ang kamustahin siya, o sabihin na nagkaroon ng bunga ang pagkakamali namin.
