MY DAUGHTER WANTS TO HAVE A DADDY.

Chapter 1.

"Eyra, baby, careful. You might hurt your knees." hawak ko si Nathalia, which is our pet cat while walking towards Eyra. Nasa park kami ngayon and as usual, naglalakad kami as an exercise diretso sa shop ko.

It's Saturday, walang pasok si Eyraia at ito ang lagi naming ginagawa. Ayokong kumuha ng katulong para bantayan siya kaya dinadala ko na lang sa bakery shop at nakikipag-interact siya sa mga costumers. Marami naman ang naaaliw dahil ang daldal niya and the fact that she's so cute.

It's been almost four years. Next year's March will be Eyraia's fourth birthday. Now's the last week of October and at the first week of November, we will visit Farrah's grave again.

Eyraia is matured a little. She knows what is right and wrong. Syempre I am doing a great job raising her. And her mind is strong to accept the fact that her mother was gone. Alam kong bata pa siya para tanggapin at kapag tatagal, masasaktan na rin siya sa katunayang wala ang tunay niyang ina. Pero I will do my best to make her feel complete.

"Mommy, can I have pancakes with honey once we got there?" she cutely turned to me. "I miss pancakes, my favorite!"

"You're always asking for pancakes every time we go there. You silly girl. Gagawan ka ni mommy, pero hinay hinay lang okay? The honey's so sweet, it can hurt your throat." she giggled.

Farrah na Farrah, they both love pancakes.

Matagal na ang shop ko and it's stable. I have trustful workers at sila na ang nandu'n nang makarating kami. Half of the tables has costumers.

"Hi po!" bumati agad si Eyra nang makapasok saka kinaway ang maliit na kamay.

"Hello, cutie." bati ng iba pabalik.

"Bambe, how's everything? Wala bang problema sa kusina?" I asked one of the chef. Ang pinakabata pero siya ang pinakamagaling na chef ko. Well of course I'm better.

"Wala naman ate, as usual marami ang nagbibigay ng good feedbacks. 'Yung isang bad feedback lang po ngayon ay 'yung first costumer na nagpa-deliver. Matagal daw po 'yung delivery kaya ginawan na ni Japy ng paraan." she explained.

"Anong paraan?"

"Bibilisan niya daw po ang pag drive kapag malawak ang kalsada. Don't worry ate, he won't overtake." I nodded.

"If that won't work, kapag nagka bad feedback ulit, magbigay na lang tayo ng extra as an apology."  tumango siya sa akin.

"I will tell that to him, ate."

"Good. Keep up the good work. Call me if anything happens, I will observe the shop." lumabas ako sa kusina at nagtungo sa sofa. Sinadya kong maglagay ng sofa para dito magpahinga ang mga worker ko if their shift is done.

I looked for Eyra. A smile was drawn in my face when I saw her playing with another girl. Such a friendly baby of mine.

Nagmamasid lang ako para kung may mangyari man, alisto ako. Kahit na kilala ang shop ko bilang cleanest and most comfortable shop, hindi ko na pwedeng pabayaan.

My girl wave her hand to the other girl when they're leaving. So sweet.

"That girl is so sweet and cute. I hope my daughter is like her. Spoiled ang anak ko, maybe it's because I can't give her the attention she wants. You know her father, he's spoiling her. And I can't do anything anymore to changed my daughter's attitude. Sana nasubaybayan ko rin siya. It's because I have to work for money. Argh, what a complicated life I had." I overheard the woman's words on my right.

"You still didn't failed as a mother, sis. Maybe you can get close to her again if you ask her for bondings. And I doubt her father. That jerk is a cheater and a dumbass. He probably teaching her words she shouldn't learn. Bakit nga ba pinagkatiwalaan mo iyon? He have so many kids from different women!"
