I almost heard the cry of his sa sobrang pagdadabog niya.
"Wear this coat sweety, it's cold outside." Tinuro ko kay Kary ang pink na Coat sa gilid.
"Oh? You're taking KaryKary to Mall? I want to go too." I bet he's pouting like a s**t monkey right now.
I look myself in the mirror and fix Kary's clothes and Hair. Dinampot ko ang phone ko, This Kiddo here need to work without me.

"Are you okay?" I asked the boy sitting in front of the company where I work . It's a noon so everyone is having a break .
"Go away. Don't act like you care for me. Everyone, All of you is a Cheater! You only care for people whose pretty!"
That's really out of the topic? Oh' that's why he's crying? Is he a kid?
"Is that so? Buy I think your pretty." It's just a hunch.
But I think this Boy is a girl on the inside. I can see it's his milky skin and beautiful and we'll takin' care face.
"I-Im pretty?" he look up at me and there I saw his lips with a smidge of lipstick.
I took out my Handkership and sit next to him.
"Here, your lipstick is ruined." I smile at him , at first he's not sure what to do but in the end kinuha niya rin.
"Thank you.I'm sorry I'm not always like this. It's just frustrating, My.. My...–Uwaaaa!" nataranta ako sa biglabg pag-iyak niya.
"It's fine. You don't have to tell if you don't want to.." I pat his back. He's busted huh. Or someone bully him? I can't guess.
"My Crush is now taken! To that two-faced snake who used me to claim up to society! And what? she called me Ugly? Who is she to call me that? and that Bastard' Indi man lang niya ko ponagtanggol!"
Nagulat ako sa mga sinabi niya pero mas nagulat ako nung mag-tagalog siya.
"Oh' your from Philippines too." It's rare to find filipino here in our area, I thought seeing one is not good' but to see your own kababayan in this far country is surely amazing.
"Oh' you can tell? Nice. I guess your from Philippines too." I smile and nodded.
"Yeah' I am." Masyado na ko matagakdito sa labas' masama sa lagay ko ang masydong malamig at hangin. tumayo ako at pinagpag ang pants ko.
"Oh? Your going na?"
"Yes. It's not good for pregnant women to stay outside haha." Tumayo narin siya.
"What's your name? Can I be your Friend? "
all of a Sudden?
"I'm Kalisa Madrid. I worked here. And you are?"
"Nice to meet you friend! I'm Delious Hanes' My father worked there too."
That's our first meeting. He just said' He's Dad is working to the same building where I work. But at that moment, I was shock' knowing I've been chitchatting to Our Boss Son. But' It's been a year, and now Me and Delious become Closer and Closer, until wala na kaming maitatago sa isa't-isa.
And his family help me big-time, during my pregnancy. Her Mom is a Pinay do nung nalaman Niya may Pinay na kaibigan si Delious, palagi na nola ako ini-invite sa mga party or tea time nila.
And Delious is only child so his Mom is so attached to me' and the moment Karissa came to this World, Mr & Mrs. Hanes welcome her open arms. Parang nagkaroon tuloy ng instant Lolo at lola si Kary. Plus Delious. Life is full of changes.
"What do you want to do first Sweety?" I asked her. She's eye'ing every store we pass on.
"I want a new Dress Mommy! A pink one like Barbie!" woah' that's a straight line.
"Your growing too fast, anak." I pat her head. he shake her head and look at me.
"What is Anak means? it's a tagalog, but I don't know that one."
Oh' right.. She don't know how to speak or understand Tagalog words that much.
"My child." tama ba? Haha.
"Oh, is that so. Okay. Let's go shopping!" natawa ako nang hilain niya ko sa loob ng Dress shop sa may Kids section.
We're looking to dresses. Kary prefer dress, she's not a fan of pants or shorts. After an hour, our cart is full of dress na pambahay and pang-play time niya.
"I can't find a pink dress with glitters like Barbie." I call the sales lady and ask if may ganon silang dress.
Karissa is starting to get sad. Omy~
"Ma'am we only have one Dressbthst match your description,would you like to take a look?"
Dinala niya kami sa isang Dulo and there naka-display ang Makinang na Dress. Itatanong ko Sana kay Kary kung yun ba .
Pero naunahan na niya ko at mabilis na niyakap ang Dress na nakasuot pa sa Manequin .
"I want this one Mommy! It's so pretty!" he smile so brightly that purify my soul. Ah~ what a pleasant view.
"I'll buy that and this too. Here's my card." yumuko siya at iniwan na kami.
"Let's go Kary. After shopping' let's eat and watch movie. hows that?"
"Yeah. it's fun!" Mabuti.. Of your having fun, I can endure anything and do anything for you. As long as your happy.
After paying the Dresses. Pinahatid ko nalang sa Saskyan lahat ng paper bags. And we ate, chitchat and do some window shopping while waiting for our movie time.
"You want to try that?" I asked her. Kanina pa siya nakatitig sa claw machine eh.
"Come on. try it's, I'll buy a coins."
"Okay." bumili kami ng tokens and I let her play with it. But all the tokens is gone now pero kahit isa wala pa siyang makukuha
"It's hard."
"You can do it.
Sinubukan niya ulit pero wala parin. Karissa cried, hayss. Maghanap ako ng tissue o pansyo sa bag ko, But she stopped crying. Nagtaka ako bakit ang tahimik na niya bigla.
Nakatalikod siya saakin at nakatingala sa malaking Larawan sa harap ng kinauupuan namin.
Tinagala ko yun , It's a advertising tarpauline . It's a whole body shot.. Tinitigan ko ng mabuti ang tao sa Picture. My breathing become abnormal and I grab Kary's hand out of fears. Inilayo ko siya don at pumasok kami sa isang fast food chain.
Nakahinga ako ng maayos nung mabaling na sa iba ang atensiyon ni Kary. I almost had a heart attack there.
And Why, Karissa stared at him? My Daughter is not aware who's her Father is. Kahit picture o pangalan ay wala akong binabanggit. So Why? Lukso ng dugo? sa Tarpaulin? Hays.
Enough Kalisa' you managed to escape that hell. Let's stop thinking none sense. Walang mangyayaring masama. I need to calm down.
For the first time in years, I saw his ayes again, Still' powerful.
