"Ate!" Kael called. He's almost 7 years old now! Time passed by so quickly, maybe because I was doing a lot of things.

I focused myself on managing our business, it was hard at first especially when dad went out of the country. No one's guiding me anymore. I was even so nervous but I did not let people see it, I was just giving them an intimidating aura lagi.

In those 7 years, a lot changed. Archer is becoming more busy now, I think he has a girlfriend!

Kael is getting naughty each day! Pero hindi siya pwedeng maglikot ng maglikot because his lungs are weak. He always ends up getting confined in a hospital everytime he tire himself too much. That's why I just have him home schooled. And I also gave him books and games so he won't have to play that much using his body.

I felt his arms on my legs that's why I carried him. He's so sweet lagi. Kakauwi ko lang galing work, he went near me agad when I entered the door.

"I got a perfect score on my quiz earlier. Do you want to see?" He excitedly asked me after kissing my cheeks.

"I'll look at it later, Kael. Let's eat first, okay?" He pouted with what I said at tumango lang rin naman.

We have private nurses here to cater to all his needs. One helped him with his food while I got mine. Ni di na nga ako nakapag palit muna ng damit eh.

Sometimes I feel sorry towards Kael, maybe he feels lonely kasi lagi akong wala. He always looks so excited everytime he sees me as if he missed me so much.

I'm trying my best not to let him feel what I felt before, that's why I'm trying to give him a lot of attention as much as I can. It's just that, I'm not the one holding my time, it's the company.

"Dahan dahan," I told him because he's eating so fast.

Kael is what we call him. Ambrose sounds so formal daw sabi ni Arch. Ang arte!

Nang matapos kumain ay nagpa alam muna ako kay Kael na maliligo lang. He's not yet done eating pa naman eh.

Nang matapos ay bumaba na ulit ako. I'm wearing my white silk nightgown.

"Where's your quiz?" I asked him when I saw him sitting on the sofa. Watching tv now.

Lumiwanag ang mata niya dahil sa tanong ko at agad bumaba sa sofa. He started running that's why I got worried.

"Kael, don't run!" I told him kaya tumigil naman siya sa pagtakbo palapit sakin. Sinalubong ko naman siya and carried him.

"Don't run, Kael. You'll tire yourself. Do you want to stay in the hospital again?" I scared him. He doesn't like the hospital either. He feels lonely daw kasi doon and he can't do anything much.

"I don't want," he pouted. I just kissed his cheeks because of his cuteness.

He's so cute. He's not thin but not chubby too. His height is shorter than the normal height for his age, maybe because he's a premature baby. His eyes are always curious, he has a tall nose and thin lips. His eye brows are thick and it's always furrowed everytime he's curious about something.

"Is your quiz in you room?" I carried him upstairs.

"Yes." He answered cutely.

I walked towards his room to put him down. He's heavy, and my arms get tired fast.

He walked towards his desk and may kinuhang papel. Inabot niya naman ito sakin nang makalapit ako sakanya.

I looked at it and smiled when he really did receive a perfect score.
