Night saw how his daughter hugged her. As a father, he'll do everything to make his daughter happy. He makes impossible things possible. Alam nya naman na dati pa maghahanap talaga ng mother figure ang bata. Kahit gagasto pa sya ng malaki para sa unica hija niya.
"Mommy, where have you been? " rinig nyang tanong ni Serenity sa dalaga
"Ah, eh."
"Baby, I told you that Mommy is busy but look at now she is here. She will love us again." he said at lumapit sa dalawa. Pinandilatan sya ng mata ni Bliss. He chuckled because she is still cute. "Right , Mommy?" dagdag nya para mas lalo mainis ang dalaga sa kanya.
"Wala akong sinabi, animal ka." gigil na sabi ni Bliss sa kanya.
"Mommy, are you mad at Daddy? tanong ni Serenity
" Huh? No baby" pagsisinungaling ni Bliss pero kulang na lang sakalin nya ang binata
"Mommy, you will not leave us, right?" mangingiyak na tanong ulit ng bata. Nagugulohan sya pero wala naman masama siguro. Sa panahon ngayon , kailangan nya ng pera. Kalimutan nya na lang muna na ang di magsinungaling
"Yes, baby. I'll stay. I will not leave you." sagot nya
"Yehey." Serenity exclaimed in happiness.
"But, baby. Can I talk with your dad first?" she said.
"Sure, mommy. I'll just play in my playroom."
Night raised his eyebrows and grinned but Bliss rolled his eyes on him.
"Let's go to my office." sabi ng binata
Sumunod na lang sya sa paakyAt na binata.
"Ang yaman pero wala namang elevator. " mahina nyang sambit. Tumigil si Night at humarap sa kanya
"I hear you. This house has an elevator anyway." sabi nito
"Ayy narinig mo?"
"Yes because you said it loudly woman."
"I have my name , animal ka. Amarie Bliss. Gets mo?"
"You don't want me to call you a woman but you call me an animal. I am not an animal." reklamo din nito
"Whatever." sabi nya
"So what is now? Do you accept my proposal?" tanong ng binata habang nakaupo sa upoan nito. Sya naman ay nasa harapan nito nakaupo
"Yes, but what are our terms and conditions? Malaking halaga ang kailangan ko." Sabi nya
"Don't worry about it. I'll take care of all of the financial obligations. I'll pay you 30 thousand a month and I'll shoulder the medicine of your Mom. " sabi ng binata.
"Why are you doing this?" she asked out of curiosity.
"I'm doing this for the happiness of my daughter. Simple as that. Just pretend that you are her mom and do things just like what mom does to their child." sabi ng binata
"Where is her real mom?" she added
"Ms. Salvador, I hate it if someone keeps on asking me questions," he said coldly.
"I'm sorry." she said."I shouldn't ask that. "
"This is our contract. You can read it first before you sign. I also include the rules. " he said and handed her the white folder." You can still work in the company you are working for now. I don't forbid you that. After all, Serenity has Yaya but you have to manage your time to be the Mom of my daughter." he said. "Aside from that, after the operation of your Mom, you will stay here." he added
"What? I'll stay here?"
"Of course. You will pretend as a Mom of my daughter."
"But __
" If you worry about the welfare of your Mom. I'll give you someone to take care of her. Don't worry about the payment. I'll take of it. " he said
"Okay."
"And another thing. Don't fall in love with me." he said while looking at her face.
Nabilaukan sa sariling laway si Bliss
"As if naman mahuhulog ka. Di ka naman gwapo. Mukha kang impakto." she said
"One thing, don't talk to me like that. You have to respect me."
"Duh, I'll speak what I want to say.Bahala ka dyan." pagtataray nya
"Don't try my patience ,woman." he said while gritting his teeth.Nanggigil na ito sa kanya na ikanatutuwa nya.
"Trabaho ko lang is maging isang ina ni Serenity hindi parte ng trabaho ko ang baguhin yong sarili ko para pasayahin ka. Duh." sabi nya. She signed the contract and gave it to him.
"Can I go now? Need na ako ni Mama." nag-alala nyang tanong
"You can but magpa-alam ka muna sa anak mo." he said. "And I already talked the Doctor and the management of the hospital. Tomorrow will be the schedule of her opetation." he added
"Thank you. I'll promise to be a good Mom to her." she said
"Mommy, where are you going again? " Serenity asked her in a sad voice
"Baby, I still have important things to do but promise I'll come back."
"But can I come with you, mommy?"
"You are not allowed to go there, baby. But once I'll go back, mommy will make it up with you." sabi nya
Malungkot pa rin si Serenity sa pag-aakalang baka di na bumalik ang inaakala nyang ina.
"Okay, here." Tinanggal ni Bliss ang locket nya at sinoot kay Serenity."To assure you that I'll come back, I let you wear this Locket.My mom gave it to me.Take of this baby, okay?" she said
"Yes, mommy."
"Smile, baby. Huwag ka sumimangot . Papangit ka nyan." sabi nya and pinched Serenity's cheek.
Nag smile si Serenity and hugged her tightly.
Pagkalabas nya sa room nakita nya si Night na nakasandal sa wall malapit sa pinto.
"Is everything, okay? he asked in his deep and manly voice
" Yeah. I'll come back. So no worries." she replied. "I'll go ahead."
"Eat first." he offered. "Manang prepared something to eat."
"No thanks, but I need to go back to the hospital."
"Well, I just let my driver drives you there."
"I'll just ride a taxi."
"Why so stubborn, woman? Just do what I say. I have no bad intention." naiirita sabi ng binata
"Eh sa gusto ko mag taxi." sagot nya
"Remember you need to be good Mom to my daughter.You should not show your attitude like this way in front of her." sabi nito habang palapit ng palapit sa kanya
"Lumayo layo ka nga sa akin. Naalibadbaran ako sayo." sabi ng dalaga
"Tssk."
"LQ, dude.hahahahaha" sabi ng binatang pula ang buhok at tumawa sila ng kasama nito. Pinukol ng masamang tingin ni Night ang dalawa. Pero ang dalawa para lang inosenteng bata kumain ng ice cream.
"You two. Sol and Dayton, why are you still here?" iritableng tanong ni Night sa mga kaibigan
"You told us to bring Ms. Beautiful to you." sagot ni Dayton ang binatang blue ang buhok
"Yeah, then . We saw an ice cream in your Fridge so we are still enjoying it. Yummy." sabi ni Sol and licked the ice ceam.
"You can now leave." sabi naman ni NIGHT sa dalawa
"nah, kakain pa kami ng ice cream doon no. Marami pang flavor . Tara nga bro. Hayaan natin to si Night at baka sinaniban na naman ng maligno." Sol said and left them
"Ingat dyan, Ms. Beautiful. Nangangagat yan. hahahhaa." pasaring ni Dayton at tumakbo."Bro , wait for me."
napangiti si Bliss sa dalawang binata. Hindi nya akalain na ganon ang mga iyon parang mga bata
"Why are you smiling? Night said
" Ang cute nila.hahahaha
"Mas gwapo ako sa mga yon. " he said.Lets go. Ako na lang maghahatid sayo.
Walang choice si Bliss kundi ang magpatangay na lang. aayaw pa ba sya e libre yon.
