PROLOGUE "ARE you sure about this, Mr. Villafuerte?" He asked. I looked at him. "I'm fvcking serious, Stevan. Do I look like I'm joking?" I said, irritated. He keep on asking me about my decision and I hate it. I have no choice. I have no other relatives, since my father died last year, I doesn't have siblings either. And my Mom... Dad said she left me. She doesn't want me, that's why. I was left alone ...with money. "Okay, chill. You really want to have a child, aren't you?" I nodded. He looked so confused. "Then why don't you get a girl and marry instead." I rolled my eyes. "I want a child NOT a wife." HE handed me some papers. "She's Samantha Laurasia, 22 years old, 5'7 height, 26 waist line, has a-" "Next," He sighed before gave me another paper. "That girl is Sophia Louise Ingres, 22 years old as well, half Spanish and half Filipina, 5-" "Next," "What the fvck?" I looked at him and raised my left eyebrow. "What?" "You're such a picky!" He said. I rolled my eyes and looked at the last paper he was holding. "Give me that," He immediately hid it behind him. I stood up and grabbed it. "Who's this?" I asked him. He's avoiding my gaze. "S-she's Saharah... S-Saharah Marie Fernandez, 23 years old," He swallowed before he continue. "5'8 height, 27-" "Okay." He looked at me, salubong ang mga kilay niya. "W-what?" I really don't get his reaction. He looked surprised. "She's hired," I stated, before I walked out. Those papers are info's about some random woman that I'm gonna impregnate kapalit ng malaking halaga ng Pera. Just give me my child and leave. Ako na ang bahala sa lahat habang ipinagbubuntis niya ang anak ko. God! I'm excited!
"Alvise! Sarah!" I call them. I'm just going to work, I went to my sales lady.
I sat in our wooden chair. "Mom!" My son Alvise, my six -year -old son, hugged me immediately.
My daughter Sarah slapped me on the cheek, she was only six years old. They are twins.
Sarah just came out first.
"I have something for you," I said. They smiled. It is likely that they will love it.
"What is it?"
I took the plastic bag I was carrying earlier.
"Donuts!" They said at the same time. They also love it too, so almost every day I meet it every time I get to work.
While they were eating, I had never noticed the cleanliness of the surroundings. No toys were spread, no clothes were scattered, and most of all there was no toys again.
Alvise is often as messy in her toy and Sarah is so scattered in clothes.
"I'm cleaning, Mom." Sarah says smiling.
Alvise's forehead knelt. "What are you, I can clean your clutter!"
"You are the mess! Everywhere you lay your car toys, thank you and I threw it all away for nothing-"
"You threw it away?! Mom, oh!" Alvise said.
I smile. I'm used to both of them, they both don't beat each other. I always leave them here at home and just leave food.
I smiled at Alvise. "I'll just buy you,"
She nodded. "But Papa Stevan gave it, eh!"
"We're not her daddy!" Sarah said.
I sighed. "That's right," I told them.
They immediately stopped, though Sarah was still murmuring.
Stevan is your owner of this house where we rent. He even wanted me to go to a big company but I refused.
From the beginning he was very kind. The size of my gratitude to him.
He was always there whenever I needed help. But why?
Why is he helping me?
Why is he so kind to me? To us?
I am afraid that someday there will be a replacement for it ...
"You visited," I grabbed him by the water, sitting in the wooden chair here.
"Uh, yeah. Where is he-"
"Papa!" Alvise hugged her immediately. He reacted to a hug here. They are really close. Since I was born, Stevan has always been there and helped me care for them. She is also accustomed to that Sarah doesn't like her. Everything Sarah doesn't want.
He felt that I was buying his real father with others, even though he had never met him. Yes, I mentioned their real father, because Sarah often asked, but I never said her name.
"Your birthday is near, ah. What gift would you like to receive?" Stevan asked Alvise.
"Stevan, can we talk?" Sabad ko.
He nodded. "Yes, ofcourse,"
He said goodbye to Alvise first. She smiled at me and stood up and followed me.
"Why do you want to talk to me, Arah?" He asked.
"Ah, because"
"If you're worried about renting a house, it's okay even if you don't pay first,"
"That's not what I want to say,"
"Then, what? Is there a problem at home? You want me to find a better one?" He held my hand. "Just tell me what you want, I'll do anything."
I took my hand out of his grip. "I owe you so much," I took a deep breath before continuing. "I don't know if I can afford it all,"
"I love you, Arah,"
To this day my brain still can't process what Stevan said. At first he was so kind to me that now what he was saying, I was afraid that maybe someday he would ask for a replacement.
And what is it? She loves me?
I don't know what to say, I'm ashamed. I didn't even know what to answer so I just turned away from her. I was afraid of what he had to say next. I know that he wants to replace it differently.
I don't want to repeat what happened before. Hays!
As I watched Alvise and Sarah eat, everything that happened back then came back to my memory. To this day I wonder if my decisions have been right ... But I am only one sure, I will never regret that my children will come into my life.
They are the only ones I have, so if they disappear, I might get bored.
"Mom," I lost my mind when my daughter Sarah called me.
I looked at him. "Why?" I will ask.
"Do you love my dad?"
My forehead is kneeling. "Stevan?"
His eyes rolled. "It's my real dad, it's not just a chance," he replied.
I don't know if I'll answer or not. Maybe because I don't know the answer either?
