Third Person's PoV
"Knight, baby? Can I talk to you?" tawag ni China sa kanyang anak habang nanonood ito ng paborito nitong palabas sa movie room. Nasa likod niya lang si North t tahimikna pingamamasdan silang dalawa.
"Yes Mommy? What is it?" tanong naman nito.
China reached for the remote para hinaan ang volume ng TV para mas makapagpaliwanag siya ng maayos.
"I need to tell you something very important so you need to listen carefully,okay?" pauna niya rito saka naupo sa harapan ng anak. Napatingin muna siya kay North bago siya nagsalita.
"'Diba? Matagal mo nang tinatanong kung sino ang Papa mo?" pauna niya rito.
"P-papa?" ramdam sa boses nito ang pagkagulat at pangungulila.
"Why? M-mommy? Tumawag na b-ba siya just like what you said?" tanong pa nito.
Umiling ito at saka huminga ng malalim.
"North, come here." tawag niya kay North.
Sinundan lang ito ng tingin ni Knight. Umupo si North sa tabi ni China at kinuha nito ang kamay niya saka niya iyon pinagsalikop sa kamay niya.
"Knight?"
"M-mommy?" ani Knight pero nakatitig lang ito kay North na para bang alam na nito ang mga susunod na mangyayari.
"This is North Delacroix. Your father, Knight..."
With that pumalahaw ng iyak si Knight saka yumakap kay North.
"Shh...baby. Don't worry Papa is here. I love you. I love you." bulong ni North sa anak.
"Papa...B-bakit hindi mo kami h-hinanap ni Mommy? Don't you l-love us?" tanong ni Knight habang umiiyak parin ito. The pain and longing in his voice is very evident.
"I'm sorry son... I love you. Hindi na ako aalis. I promise." North gave him a very assuring voice.
Ilang minutong katahimikan bago nagsalita si China.
"I'm sorry baby. It's my fault. Mommy's at fault too." anito saka niyakap ang kanyang mag-ama.
"Mommy and Papa loves you. Remember that, Knight." bulong ni North sa tulog ng si Knight habang nakakarga kay North.
"He fell asleep." Hina informed North. Tumayo ito at gamit angvisa nitong kamay ay pinagsalikop niya ulit ito kagaya kanina.
"Let's put him into bed. We'll let him rest. The we'll talk about our wedding."
Josiah's PoV
"Good morning..." bulong ko sa babaeng pinakamamahal ko. I just woke up and we're at Palawan. Enjoying our vacation.
"Hmm...magandang umaga." she smiled at me.
I was about to kiss her nang iniwas niya ang sarili niya sa akin.
"Hindi pa ako nakakapagsepilyo." she said and she covered her mouth.
She's always like that, she prefers using Filipino as a language to use just like her name, Filipina.
"Does it matter?" I said bago ulit inilapit ang sarili ko sa kanya. Hindi niya parin ako hinayaan at kaagad pang tumayo at kumaripas ng takbo sa banyo.
Carolina Tan's PoV
"Madame, when are you going to tell Senyorita China about everything?" Anastacio asked.
I just sipped on my coffee and shook my head.
"She's not yet ready for that, Tacio. Let's just wait for the right time for that." I answered.
Tumango lang naman siya at nanahimik na.
"I have done something very bad to my daughter. And I owe everything to her. Kung hindi dahil sa kanya. Itinakwil ako ng Papa dati. But because of me being scared, iniwan ko siya sa isang pamilya na hindi naman pala maganda ang pakikitungo sa kanya."
North's PoV
"So the wedding is on?" magtaas ng isang kilay si Talia.
I smirked at her then she knew.
"Wow naman North! Impressive!" pumalakpak ng malakas si South.
"Sana lahat." pabirong sabi ni West sabay irap.
"Tss.Edi wow!" si East naman na pagkatapos ay siniko pa ni Talia.
"Bitter af." umiling nalang ako.
"Si kailan? Excited na ako, ano ba 'yan?" si Talia na nakakapit sa braso ni East.
"I want it as soon as posible."
"Kailan naman 'yang soon na 'yan?" East asked.
"Next week." I answered without lokingat China.
"What?!" I knew her reaction would be like this but I don't really care. What's the point of the delay kung ikakasal lang din naman kami?
"Why?" I asked.
"Mukhang aatras kapa China ah?" tumawa ng malakas si West kaya naman tinapunan ko siya ng masamang tingin.
"Next week then." she said.
"Atat na atat, North ha?" tawa ni Talia na inilingan ko nalang.
"What place do you want to go after our wedding?" tanong ko kay China nang mapag-isa kami sa kwarto. She will now sleeping in my room.
"What? For honeymoon?" she asked habang naglalagay ng lotion sa kayawan dahil katatapos niya lang maligo.
"Partly. But I also want us to go for a vacation together with Knight." I said.
"Bumabawi ka ha?" she smirked at me.
"Yes. Babawi ako sa anak natin at pati narin sa'yo. There's no turning back now,China."
