Chapter 25 - A Year Ago

"Mom! Your spacing out!" Hikaru said as I look at the spilled milk. "I'm sorry," I said as I wipe the table.

"Are you feeling okay?" He asked as I look at him.

"Nah I('m okay," I said as I look at how Hikaru started growing up. "Don't grow too fast," I said as he get my hands off his head. "Stop messing my hair up," he said when Hikari came down.

"Mom," Hikari called as I look at her. "What isn't it sweetie?" I asked as she showed me her drawing.

It's me together with them and it says family tree but Saginsia is not part of the tree.

"Oh, I almost forget about that," Hikaru said as he get something from his bag.

"The Principal sent this and told me to give it to you." He said as I read the letter.

"DETENTION?!" I asked as he nodded.

"Why?! What happens?!" I asked. "Mom it's not Hikaru's fault it's my fault!" Hikari said as I look at her. "Why What happens Hikari?"

"I showed them the family picture that I draw and the kids start laughing since we don't have a father," she explained. "They told me it must suck to not have someone like a father, What will we do at the upcoming family event," Hikari said.

"We could always call Saginsia to come here," I said.

"But Mom, Dad is a bad person," Hikari said as I sigh and I know how much Saginsia missed the kids too.

"You shouldn't think about your Dad like that," I said since I don't want them to think about Saginsia in a bad way when his their father.

"That's not the only problem Mom, If dad would ever come to that stupid family event people would be the focus on him since his a celebrity rather than playing with us!" Hikaru said which makes sense.

"But there are kids bullying you guys, Why wouldn't you talk to them and tell them that Saginsia is your father," I said as Hikaru avoided my gaze.

"What?" I asked.

"Hikaru told them when they start bullying me that Saginsia Noel Dela Fernandes is our father but they didn't believe him at all," Hikari said as Hikaru smiled but deep down I know that he hurt.

What should I do now?

I look at my own kids as they don't know what to do and they are hurting by what the bullies say to them.

"I'm sorry for giving you guys a complicated family," I said as Hikaru smiled and hugged me.

"It's never your fault Mommy," he said but so is Saginsia. It's not his fault too and I don't want them to keep on hating Saginisa.

That night I called Robert and told him about what happened with the twins in school and he is not shocked about it. I bet he hired a spy to watch over the twins to report to Saginsia.

"What did Saginsia say?" I asked as I hear him sigh on the other side of the phone. "Robert?" I asked again.

"He told me that he won't be participating in that kind of event if the kids don't want him to come with him. He will just ruin the fun for the twins they can have me instead," he said and I felt sad hearing that from Robert.

"Hikari will be singing, I hope at least he could watch his daughter sing at that event," I said as I turn off the call hoping that Saginisa would hear us out and would spend more time with the kids. It's also my fault for running away from him to the point that the twins are not familiar with his presence.

The next morning while I was preparing breakfast the doorbell rang I open it and saw Saginsia standing in front of me right now.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as I look at Robert who was holding a basket of fruits.

"I'm here for the kids and I took a 1 week's break from work," he said as I nodded when he came closer to me. I don't know but my heart just suddenly beat fast.

"Aren't you gonna kiss your husband?" he asked as I immediately shake my head. That's too much for me to handle as I went back to the kitchen.

When the twins came down they are not happy seeing Saginsia at all, in fact, they hide behind my back while Saginsia is sitting in the living room looking at them hiding.

"Go and greet your father," I said to the twins but they didn't move a muscle.

"I took a break from work to spend the school festival with you guys, Aren't you happy?" he asked and I know that he is hurting too when his own children won't even come close to him.

"Also I bought you guys gifts-" Hikaru didn't let him finish.

"Why are you here for? We never called for you," he said. "Hikaru! I was the one who ask for his presence! That's way too rude go and say sorry to your Dad!" I scolded Hikaru but he just look at Saginsia and said he was sorry.

"I heard what happen in school, I'm sorry we haven't let you guys out of the press since it's also for your safety purposes to avoid some sort of things." He said as I nodded since I agreed about it.

"Do you wish to tell them that you're my children?" he asked as Hikaru clenched his fist.

"No one will believe us anyway. Being Saginsia's children sucks." I said as he smiled.

"I know, It sucks but still, Do you wish for the world to know?" he asked again.

"Mom," Hikari talked as I look at her.

"Will he see me sing?" she asked as I look at Saginsia since this is for him to answer.

"Yes, I will be seeing you sing," he answered as I smiled. I hope that they would get along.
