"And cut!" Iriz just stared at me as I walked closer to my child.
"Mom! Right here I have something for you."
Fioni suddenly shouted after I shot, she was sitting next to Direk while watching my acting.
Fione Venice Salvera, my daughter.
Fortunately, it didn't make a noise because Direk would really scold me by chance, I approached her and wiped my sweat because of what I did before.
She was still working with the staff, when she noticed that I was approaching she said goodbye to the staff and smiled at them. How cute.
"Mom! I have something for you ..."
When she repeated what she had said earlier, I just raised an eyebrow and smiled at her.
"What's that sweetie ??"
"I want to go here! Let's celebrate my 10th birthday here!" Fione said while looking at the picture.
I was dumbfounded and shocked because something entered my mind that should not be remembered, I tried to forget it in my mind but it kept coming back. It's the People's Park in the sky, in Cavite.
The memories buried in the past come back again, why? and because I don't want my son to be sad, even if I don't want to, I can just make him happy. Her birthday is also near, next week as well.
"O-Of course baby...as you wish," I kissed her forehead.
"Where did you get that anyway?"
I was nervous because he might know what he should not know. That place! There we made him shit!
"I just saw it on the internet .." she said with a smile on her face.
"Oh is that so..are you hungry?"
"Not totally."
"Let's eat first before we go home?"
"Okay!"
-
We got home because it was late at night, it was about six o'clock and they were still awake mama, Diego is here now because he is taking care of something.
Mama immediately opened up and loaded Fione and so did Diego, they both enjoyed while I went up to our room. Fione and I were in the same room because she was afraid to be alone.
After I took a bath and got dressed, I stayed in the bathroom for a while because I even removed the make-up on my face. When I came out, Fione was lying down and sound asleep. Mama was just sitting on the side of the bed at the same time watching my daughter, it was very fast time, I used to be the one mama used to treat my daughter.
When she noticed me she immediately stood up. I sneezed and approached her, she was sitting on the bed again while I was also sitting in front of her. I comb my hair now.
"How long will you keep it from her?" She suddenly asked, reason for me to release the comb.
"Ma ... at the right time."
"When else is that?"
"But ..."
She just shook her head and glanced at Fione who was sleeping soundly, I also looked at her behavior and watched the child. My daughter is pathetic because he is always looking for her father.
Sorry baby..
"You always promise her that on her birthday, her daddy will come ..."
"I'm still struggling, ma,"
"It will be harder for you if you prolong it."
"This upcoming birthday of her, she will see her dad."
I do not know. I really do not know!
My heart is full of sadness as I look at my daughter, because I always lie to her. She is already looking for her dad, I still don't want her to experience what I experienced before.
"Are you sure?" She made sure to harvest while looking straight into my eyes.
"I can't promise, but I'll try .." my voice broke after what I said.
Maybe that's right, I'll take a chance that maybe it's still possible. Mama just nodded and said goodbye after she turned her back on me, I sighed before lying down next to my daughter, sorry baby for lying at you, you will also understand this when you grow up.
I cried softly while kissing her forehead, I do not want you to feel incomplete, like me.

The next day I immediately booked for Fione's birthday party, it was good and easy for them to accompany me and I was able to reserve right away. Ricky and Rieza and I now plan to go shopping because we have been together for a long time.
We have a lot of plans to do today so I left my daughter to Mama and Diego first because they have nothing to do.
"Hey! Where are you? Come on oh, we already have our own car but y'all still late." Rieza's voice suddenly echoed in my ear.
"I'm going there! Why am I the only one you're shouting at, Ricky is also late!" I also scolded her
I started the car and turned off the call, fortunately I was with Ricky because we might have a surprise meeting right away. I parked and I immediately went down and entered the mall, I even looked for the fast food chain that I ate for two, because I was the only one who said I would pay late.
I turned shades to avoid confusion.
"Are you coming yet?" Rieza's introduction to me.
"Fortunately, you have already ordered!"
"Raise your shoal! We might get trouble here!" Ricky suddenly growled at me.
"Why are we shouting! We look like farmers here!" I sighed too.
We talked a lot until our conversation ended up on WiFi.
"Her!" Ricky suddenly called a crew there.
There is really no shame in that!
"Do you have WiFi?" He said again. The man looked at me before turning.
"Psst brother! What's your password?" I groaned. The man was surprised when I lowered my shades.
"Miss Leonce ?!"
"Shh! Let's picture later, password first ..."
He gave us the password and we will take a picture later. I winked at the two and they just laughed at me. I opened my Instagram and just scrolled there, I was planning to tell a story in case others can see it here.
When I scrolled down I noticed a pic of the newly wed, I immediately peeked at who it was and I was shocked to see Iroul's name!
Actor_Feli
Suddenly my chest throbbed loudly because of that.
"Oh my! Feli is married!" Rieza groaned
"Yes! Trending now oh .." Ricky said.
"Congrats to you, you're married .." I said softly.
"At least you have a daughter, right?"
"You idiot!"
-
"Happy birthday my dearest Fione," I said while brushing her hair. She's still sleeping.
"Mom! It's too early .." she said laughing.
"I want to greet you first."
"I love you baby. You're not a baby now ... but still my baby .."
lI love you too mom!"
I went down and prepared everything, Ricky had a rented van so he would take the food as well as the other guests.
It took hours since we went there, since we already reserved, what we will do is pretty easy. We put the food on the table, the cottage I took was also quite large so it was worth it.
I did not realize that many people were coming, there were others carrying cameras. What is there here? I don't want to meet fans today because I will focus my attention on my daughter.
"Hey Leonce! Bad news!" Rieza whispered to me as I breathed.
"What's up?"
"Damnit really!"
"Tell me what!"
"Feli and Suzette are having a honeymoon here!"
"Stop that .."
My heart beats so fast that I can't breath calmly, I still promised my daughter that she will see her daddy now. And she will see with others!
That's why so many people ....
The day went so fast, it was almost night now, Fione and I were here on the wide ground we were both sitting on the grass. Talking about what-so-ever.
"Mommy look! There's a couple hugging," he pointed to the one next to us.
Iroul and Suzette hugged and danced in the middle of the sun set, how romantic.
Iroul ...
I should be that eh ..
That's your dad sweetie.
"Baby ... I have something to tell you, this is very important."
"About my dad mom? Can't he come again?" She harvested sadly.
"Listen okay?"
She nodded and listened to what I had to say. It was hard to tell her but I tried to intensify it because I knew she was smart.
"I know that you're a smart kid, and I dearly hope you can understand this, about your dad ... he's married with another girl,"
My tears flowed because I couldn't stop myself, she was still a little surprised by what I said.
"If you were me, would you ruin their relationship or wedding?"
"N-No ..."
"Then that's what we'll do."
She cried now so I cried too, we should be happy, but this is really unavoidable. I hugged her tightly and forced her to lie down.
"But mom? How are we? Why aren't you the one he married?" She then asked the next question that hurt me even more. Why?
"Because he loves that .."
"Doesn't he love you?"
"He loved me ... before," She looked at me in surprise.
"Me? Mom? Did he love me?" She cried. My heart was broken by what he said, she was still young for this.
"She didn't know she had a child ... I'm so sorry for that,"
I don't know where I get the strength to tell her this. It hurts so much.
"Mom I don't know ..."
"Baby he loves you," I said.
"If he'll know." She harvested sadly.
"Yes ..."
I cried and turned away from her, I was ashamed of myself. I never thought she would hug me back.
"I'm so sorry baby ..."
"I want to hate you but I can't..because I understand you, you're doing the right decision."
"Wow! I'm proud, how can you say that! You're only ten years old!"
"Mom I'm serious!" I just laughed at her reaction and hugged her tightly.
"Thank you baby..i love you very much."
She just smiled and wiped away my tears, I was relieved because we had already talked about this.
"I don't want a daddy anymore, I'm contented with you mom."
"Are you sure?" I said crazy.
"Even when your daddy is here?" I added.
"Seriously mom ?! Where?"
I just laughed because he was surprised, she just pout looking at me.
"Actually your dad is here,"
"The couple you saw earlier, that man is your dad ..."
She even looked at me in surprise and could not believe what I said. She even shook his head.
"Felrich Iroul Ortiaga,"
"Mom I have one favor ..."
"Hmm?"
"Can I hug him?"
I was surprised by what she said, my heart was broken again because of that.
"Baby ..."
"Even if I don't introduce myself to him anymore, even if I don't say that I am his daughter, just a hug ..." She smile sadly.
My tears flowed again and I could do nothing but do that, because that was also her dream.
-
It was late at night, the party was still going on, Fione was happy again playing with the children. Ricky suddenly called me and motioned for me to come over, he was in the back.
"What is it?"
He looked behind him and I saw Iroul there. I was even more surprised because I couldn't believe it.
"Happy weds!" I hesitated when Ricky left us.
"Thank you...long time no see,"
"Long time no see, where's your wife?"
"She's asleep, maybe tired ... I met Ricky earlier, then talked
too." I just nodded.
"Is it your daughter?" He immediately asked when he saw Fione looking at us.
"Where is the father?" He added again.
I was still nervous to answer.
"Yeah, it's her birthday today ... Ahm she wants to see you." I change the subject.
"Why?"
Of course that's your child.
"You are her idol."
That's a big lie.
"What's her name?"
"Fione."
I called my daughter and approached her, as she approached my eyes bulged. She immediately approached me, she looked at the whole of Iroul and he seemed to be crying.
"Hi there little Fione—" he didn't finish what he was going to say when she suddenly hugged him.
I was surprised by the incident and so was Iroul, he immediately looked at me and looked at the child again. Fione is now crying still hugging her father.
I would have taken Fione back but Iroul stopped me and even hold her on the back, it seemed to make her lie down. I turned around and wiped away the tears that I had been holding back.
"Shh, baby don't cry .." He said to my daughter, to our daughter.
"It's just tears of joy..you're an idol of that,"
I don't know if what I did was right.
"Sorry! Can we t-take a picture together?" Fione said.
He resigned from his father's embrace. Iroul nodded and they took a picture, I used my phone.
"Mommy join!"
I looked at Iroul.
"Oh my gosh don't!"
"Come on Leonce," Iroul said manly.
I immediately approached and the front cam was my picture. We are now in the middle of Fione. I smiled raw while Iroul knew nothing at all. We said goodbye to him and went back to the party.
Fione turned to me happily and even hugged me, she was always looking at our picture earlier.
"Happy baby?"
"First ever family picture ..." she said smiling.
-
At the age of ten, she sacrificed her own happiness just to make her father happy. Even though it hurts, even though she needs him.
Being a mother I'm so proud of her, I can be her mother and father at the same time. She don't need another man just to feel complete, I will be the one who can fulfill her emptiness.
Proud mother,
Leonce Margarita Salvera.
And until now I know it's you, still you, and I will forever run after you.
