[Special Chapter]
"Mommy! Look at these!" Chlouie turned around to see where the little voice came from.
She saw the little Dalia holding a small bouquet of flowers in her tiny hands. Her eyes twinkling with a big smile plastered in her small heart shaped lips. Her cheek length hair is dancing with the wind. Chlouie bend to meet Dalia's height.
"Where did you get those?" she asked the little child.
"Outside. I saw it outside our house! Maybe the flower fairy left this because I prayed last night!" The lovely and sweet Dalia said with excitement visible on her eyes.
Kinuha ni Chlouie ang bouquet ng pulang pula na mga rosas. Her eyes landed on a tiny card hidden within the petals.

Chlouie smiled and put the flowers on the table before throwing her eyes on the kid. She lift Dalia in her arms and went to their room.
"Mommy are we going to the mall after kuya?" Dalia asked while Chlouie is giving her a quick bath. Ngumiti naman ang Ina at tumango.
Nang matapos ay agad ring binihisan ni Chlouie ang bata. Dalia wore a simple pink jumpsuit and white rubber shoes while Chlouie wore a simple white lose shirt and skinny pants. Nang masiguro niyang nailagay niya na lahat ng kakailanganing mga gamit sa kaniyang bag ay binuhat niya na ang bata at lumabas ng kanilang tahanan.
Chlouie drove the car in a familiar place. Dalia seems to be excited when she realized where they are.
"Are we going to visit big brother again?" Dalia asked.
"Yes baby. Today is his birthday." Chlouie replied that made the kid excited.
Halos dalawang oras ang itinagal ng kanilang pagbiyahe. Dalia fell asleep and Chlouie wake her up. Kinukusot pa ng batang babae ang kaniyang mga mata bago ito yumakap sa ina at nagpabuhat. Kinuha naman ito ni Chlouie kasabay ang kaniyang bag na halos naglalaman ng mga gamit lamang ni Dalia.
Nang maisara nito ang pinto ng kotse ay siya namang pagtunog ng kaniyang telepono.
"Yes?" bungad ni Chlouie sa linya.
"Where are you? I thought you're coming? Wala akong kakilala rito walanghiya ka." Jessica said that made Chlouie laugh a little. Tirik na tirik ang araw kaya naman sinimulan na ni Chlouie ang paglakad patungo sa kanilang pupuntahan.
"Yes, yes. Susunod ako. It's Dariel's birthday, I can't let him celebrate it alone." Narinig ni Chlouie ang pagsinghap ng kaibigan mula sa kabilang linya.
"Omg! I forgot! You don't actually have to come you know? I was wrong marami pala akong kakilala rito and I don't need you." saad ng kaibigan. Tuluyang natawa si Chlouie dahil sa taranta ng boses nito.
"It's okay. Pupun—I'll call you later Jess." mabilis na pinatay ni Chlouie ang tawag habang natitigilang sinalubong ang tingin ng tao sa kaniyang harapan—sa harapan ng puntod ng kaniyang anak.
Naputol lamang ang pagtitig niya rito nang magising ang batang si Dalia mula sa kaniyang braso. Ibinaba niya ito at hinawakan sa kamay bago itinuloy ang paglapit sa puntod ni Dariel. She didn't expect him to see here especially now that he is supposed to be in America.
"Mommy he gave kuya different flowers." bulong ni Dalia sa gilid habang nakatutok ang tingin sa mga bulaklak sa ibabaw ng puntod.
"Chlouie." Darwin uttered in surprise.
