"Goodmorning baby Milo, kamusta ang tulog ng baby ni mommy?" I kiss him and he just giggles at me with his charming eyes, chubby cheeks, and rosy lips.
"I love you Milo, love you, love you," kiniliti ko yung tummy niya at tuwang tuwa naman siya. "Mommy hahaha," natatawa niyang tawag sa akin, habang panay ang pagkiliti ko sa kanya. His laughter is the only reason why I'm happy with my life right now.
Hearing him laugh every day I wake up, is enough for me to face another day. "I love you, baby," I genuinely whispered. "Ah wuv u, mommy," sambit niya, medyo nakakapagsalita na siya pero medyo bulol bulol pa siya.
"Let's go take a shower na baby, para punta na tayo sa office, kay tita Blace," sambit ko at pinaliguan na siya at sumabay na din ako kasi hindi ko naman siya pwedi iwan mamaya ka pag ako na ang maliligo.
After I fix our things, dumiretso na kami sa opisina ng clothing line at nakita ko si Blace doon na inaalala ang first kiss niya daw hahaha.
Kaya pala hindi sila nagpapansinan.

Survey's POV
"Iho, anak akala ko ba susunod dito si Aubrey?" my mom ask, while she fix the food in the table. "She had a fashion show in Paris," I answered while reading something related to business on my tablet.
"Nga pala, you said nakita mo na si Cherry nasan na siya? Kamusta na siya?" Mom asked. "She's fine mom she's living in Palawan with her son." I saw my mom eyes widened as she heard what I've said.
"What? May anak na siya?" she said, and look at me like she's not believing what I'd said.
"Yes, with her boyfriend," I said in a cold tone, suddenly feeling a piece of irritation.
I don't know, but I'm mad at her because I can feel that she doesn't want me in her life she's always avoiding me.
"I want to see her and her son, Anak, " my mom said out of excitement. "I don't know mom, she's avoiding me," I uttered.
"Then I will go visit her, siguro naman hindi niya ako iiwasan, isa pa anak baka nahihiya lang siya sayo. It's been two years syempre matanda na kayo kaya may mga changes talagang mangyayari sa friendship niyo." she has a point but I don't find that reasonable.
"Yeah, but I want--------," before she could finish her words my phone suddenly rings.
*ring*
It's Aubrey, she's calling. I stood up to walk towards the garden and answer her call. "Hello," I uttered.
"Hi, the fashion show is about to start any minute now, I'm with Dark," she casually said. "Yeah, that's good you should enjoy it," I said and glance at my wristwatch.
"Yeah, thank you love you," she said.

Cherry Milk's POV
"Good morning miss Cruz napadalaw kayo?" I hear Blace's voice outside the office she's talking to miss Cruz.
Hindi ako magpapakita sakanya alam ko kasing yayain nya ako ng dinner and we will talk about the partnership again at ayaw ko muna sanang harapin yon ngayon.
Blace's POV
"Where is Miss Villaruel?" Miss Cruz asked. "Nasa bahay Miss Cruz, nagpapahinga, masama po ang pakiramdam eh," pagpapalusot ko sabi kasi ni frieny kasi ni Cherry Milk.
"Ganun ba, ok, i'll be back na lang tomorrow, ok, ciao," she said, at rumampa na palabas ng shop si miss cruz pero nakita ko mula sa glass door na napatigil siya ng makasalubong yong lalakeng yon at agad lumiwanag ang mukha ni miss cruz mas maliwanag pa sa flashlight.
Hindi ko na sila pinagaksayahan ng oras at tinutok ko nalang ang sarili ko sa laptop ko at tinuloy yong pinapanuod kong BL series shit, lang ang hindi kiligin sa Offgun talaga.
Oh my so real offgun is so re-----,"Ahm...ehem," tumingin ako sa harapan ko at sa kasamaang palad, ang lalakeng to ang kaharap ko.
"Nasa office si Cherry," diretsong sambit ko at agad plinay yung pinapanuod ko, I don't have time for him. "Trabaho ba talaga pinunta mo dito o wifi para makanood ka niyang kabaklaan na yan?"
Bigla namang tumaas ang dugo ko at nakalimutan ko ang salitang 'Awa'
"Pake mo ba, tangina ka," madiing bulong ko sa kanya at maraming tao sa loob ng shop ayaw ko namang mageskandalo. "Wow, shet lutong pre," nakakalokong sagot niya.
Sinara ko ang laptop ko, at sinenyasan ko si Adine na pumalit muna sa akin dito sa counter at nilagpasan ko na ang demonyong 'yon. Ang ganda ganda ng mood ko tapos darating siya.
"Hoy, bagalan mo naman lakad mo wag ka sanang madapa ka sana," he teased.
Mas binilisan ko ang lakad ko papuntang parking lot aalis muna ako at ayaw ko talagang makapatay ng wala sa oras eh.
"Hoy, saan punta?" he asked, bakit ba sumusunod pa tong gagong to sa akin anong trip niya binuksan ko na ang pinto ng jeep rangler ko at sumakay dito, at sa kasamaang palad sumakay din siya sa passenger seat.
"Ano ba, bakit ka ba sumusunod?!" singhal ko sa kanya. "Sabi kasi nila follow your dreams." he said. Ano daw? Tanga nito layo layo ng sagot sa tanong ko.
"Bumaba ka na pwede ba ayaw kong makapatay sa oras na ito," kalmado kong sambit at pilit pinipigilang gilitan ng leeg itong lalaki na ito.
"Bakit ka papatay?" inosenteng tanong niya. I gasp, I can't believe this. Sa sobrang irita ko pinalo ko yung bumper na naging dahilan ng pagkahulog nang susi ko.
"Nahulog yung susi," obvious ba, tanga talaga. He's stating the fucking fact. Kukunin ko na sana pagkayuko ko pati yung bag ko nahulog dahil nasagi ko ito.
"Nahulog yung bag," I just glared at him and try to get my keys and bag. "Nahulog ako sayo." Bigla naman akong nauntog sa bumper dahil bigla akong umangat dahil sa narinig ko.
Tumingin ako sakanya hawak ang ulo ko and what! His biting his lips halatang pinipigilang tumawa ng loko. "Anong sabi mo!?!?!" sigaw ko. "Wala------," naputol ang pagsasalita nito.
"Anong wala!" singhal ko. "I like you." diretso nitong sambit. Bigla akong nasamid sa sarili kong laway sa narinig ko. "Hoy, I like you pa lang sinabi ko hindi pa will you marry me chill ka lang," he said, as he give me a bottled water saan galing to.
After I drink it tinignan ko siya ng masama. "Tigil tigilan mo nga ako sa kalokohan mo kung sa tingin mo maaiinis mo ko lalo sa pinaggagawa mo pwes manigas ka." sambit ko.
"I won't get hard unless I see you in my bed," what the heck.
...
"Fuck you!"
"Dito sa kotse? daming tao sa labas nakakahiya Blace ano ka ba," sagot niya.
"Bumababa ka sa sasakyan ko ngayon na!!!" parang gusto ko magwala sa sobrang high blood ko sa lalaking ito, hindi ako mapakali at pinipigilan ko ang sarili kong mapatay tong lalakeng ito.
He just smirks at me and opens the door of my jeep then walk away as if wala siyang sinabing kabalbalan.
Oh Lord, forgive me I might kill him someday. Pinaharurot ko na paalis ang sasakyan ko, I need air.

Cherry Milk's POV
From Blaire Ace(blace)
I left the shop just gonna grab some patience from god and be back at 4 pm.
Nagtext si Blace umalis siya ng hindi man lang ako dinaanan dito sa office dyan lang siya sa labas kanina ah. "Milo, don't eat that baby dirty," sambit ko, at kinuha kay Milo yung toy na kinakagat kagat niya kasi baka masaktan siya matigas pa naman din iyon.
"Miss Villaruel, may tao po sa labas, she wanted to talk to you," si Adine isa sa staff ko dito. "Ahhh cge papasukin mo nalang dito" at binuhat kona si milo para i-upo sa sofa at binigyan ko siya ng slice ng apple para manahimik.
As I hear the door open I face it and boom, it's a nightmare again. Tita Mikka is here, standing there together with Survey at her back.
"Mommy more," I look at milo as he shows me his hand and does the close open thing ganyan siya pag nanghehengi pa ng pagkain. Agad akong lumapit sakanya at binuhat siya ulit at kumuha ng apple para sa kanya
"Iha," tita Mikka run to me, and hug me so tight kahit na buhat buhat ko si Milo. I can hear her crying and it makes me wanna cry too.
"I've been searching for you iha, natakot ako nong nawala ka kasi it feels like the same feelings when i lose my bestfriend your mother buti na lang sinabi sa akin ng papa mo na you're ok, but he didn't tell me where you are, why did you do that to me hah?" she said and still crying that makes me cry too.
Tita Mikka is like my second mom, when I lose my mom in grades school she was there for me she treats me as her own child that's why I love her.
Sobrang hirap para sakin noon na umalis at hindi magpaalam sakanya pero i need to protect milo and my self that time ngayon ko lang naramdaman yong guilt dahil hindi man lang ako nagpaalam sa kanya noon
I hug her using my other hand, and cry at her shoulder pero may narinig akong humihikbi din kaya I look at Milo his starting to cry too, his like that every time he see me cry his going to cry also para bang nararamdaman niya ang nararamdaman ko well siguro nga ganon yon kasi siya lang din ang karamay ko noon nong nasasaktan ako kay survey.
"Shhhh baby, mommy's ok don't cry baby," pinapatahan ko siya at niyakap niya ako sobrang higpit para bang pinapalakas nya yong loob ko. Oh, my son knows me so well.
I notice tita Mikka and survey watching every move I do and it's alittle bit intense for me so I give tita Mikka a smile at hinele ko muna saglit si Milo para tumigil na. "Survey sige na iwan mo na ako dito,i'll text you if were done already," seryosong utos ni tita Mikka kay Survey at tumingin muna sa akin si Survey bago umalis.
I look at tita mikka parang natakot ako sa klase ng tingin niya kay milo parang kinikilatis nya ito.
"Who's the father, Cherry, iha?" tanong ni Tita. "Ahm...My boyfrie--------, "Tell me its Survey," parang hindi patanong ang pagkakasabi nya parang siguradong sigurado siya sa binitawan nyang salita. I can't even talk and I forget to grab some air.
I can't breathe. "How come, iha?" kapos hininga nitong sambit. "Tita Milo's father is my boyfriend," sinubukan ko pang magsinungaling. "You can fool every one iha even Survey, he's too blind to notice things, but you can't do that to me, I know it's Surveys' son." Nanginginig na ako sa kinatatayuan ko hindi pwedi ito.
Hindi maaari.
