"Wait!" Someone shouted at the door.

"Mommy" Alyssa silently said when her mom opened the door.

"Anak." Her mom said. Sobrang lakas ng kabog ng dibdib nya.

"Mom" she said and hugged her mom.

"Mommy i miss you" Alyssa said between her sobs.

"Anak. Tell me you're real" Phablita said while sobbing

"I'm real mom" Alyssa said and hugged her mom tightly.

"Ruel! Ruel!" Her mom called her Dad.

"What's the matter Darling—- Baldo ko?" Ruel quickly hugged Alyssa.

"Dad" Alyssa tightly hugged his Father.

"Anak you're here. Miss na miss kita anak" Ruel said while sobbing. New side of him. Kasi never syang umiyak sa harapan ng Anak nya.

"Ly you forget my first baby." Alvin said

"Huh kuya?"

"Colleen is Pregnant." Alvin said

"Finally!!!" They all celebrated and enjoyed the night.
