(Third Person POV)
“If I going to accept him as my dad, how about daddy Franco?” tanong ng kanyang anak na si Shawn sa kanya. Nakasandal ito sa kanya. Nilalaro nya ang buhok ng anak.
“Don’t you like to have two dads?"Mahinahon na tanong nya sa anak. “Franco will always be a daddy to you, Shawn.”
“But you said that my real daddy is there in heaven.”
“I’m sorry for lying at you.”
Nakaramdam naman syang ng guilt dahil sa ginawa nyang kasinunggalingan sa anak.
“But you said that lying is a bad thing. Then, why you lie to me.”
Napabugtong- hininga sya.
“Sometimes, we lie because that’s what we thought are the best thing to do.”
Napaangat ito ng mukha. Kunot- noo ito.
“I don’t understand!” ani nito na litong- lito.
“Shawn, I’m sorry baby.” naramdaman nya ang pangilid ng kanyang luha.
