They stared at each other for a few seconds. Finally Crown looked down because he can't take the intensity of the man's gaze who also have the same eye color as him.

"I apologize, Mr. Frost. We already warned the students not to go here pero may iba paring matitigas ang ulo."

CJ bow down his head more afraid of his principal's angry words. Their principal scurried his way through him with a stoic expression.

The last thing he would do is to put his mother in trouble. Pero sa nangyari ay ipinahamak pa niya ang kanyang ina. He shouldn't have go here in the first place. If he was not being impatient and waited for the assigned students from the higher class to fetch them, his bald principal won't be angry towards him.

"Go back to your room and wait for the assigned students to get you. Remind your mother to be in my office after the event." sabay hawak nito ng mahigpit sa kanyang braso.

Mahinang napadaing si Crown dahil nararamdaman niya na parang mababali yata ang kanyang maliit na braso dahil dito. He obediently nodded.

"O-opo." he said with a little voice.

"There's no need to send the child back. Just let him go along with us." hindi niya namalayang nakalapit na pala ang lalaki sa kinaroroonan nila.

The man crouched in front of Crown and slightly pat his hair. He looked up and curiously examined the man's face. The man was really manly and Crown thought that he could scoop him with his arms.

Namangha siya sa lalaking kapareho niya ng kulay ng mata. Aside from his uncle Luke, he never experienced being in his daddy's arms. Ni hindi nga niya ito kilala.

"You're going inside?"

"O-opo." sabay tango ni Crown.

"I'm Tyrone, and you can call me tito if you want. How about you? What's your name?"

Nilahad nito ang malaki nitong kamay at mayroong pag-alinlsngang inabot niya ito.

"Crown Schwender, po."

They shake each others hands and his hand felt really small in the man's hand. He wonder if his hands would also get that big when he'd grown up.

...

Tyrone was beyond amuse while staring at the little guy's features. They child's face was really similar to his son, CJ. Para siyang bumalik sa panahon noong limang taong gulang pa lang ang nag-iisa niyang anak na lalaki.

"Go back to your room and wait for the assigned students to get you. Remind your mother to be in my office after the event." he heared Mr. Monta said to the child with a threatening tone.

Napansin rin niya ang mahigpit na paghawak nito sa braso ng bata.  Makaramdam siya ng inis sa principal. Biglang kumulo ang kanyang dugo dito. Akmang nagsasalita ang kanyang assistant pero inangat niya ang kanyang kamay para hindi ito pasalitain. He couldn't take it anymore, kaya lumapit siya sa kinaroroonan ng mga ito.

"There's no need to send the child back. Just let him go along with us." natahimik ang principal nang magsalita siya.

Umupo siya sa harap ng bata. Now that he have a closer look of the child's face, he can't help but ask himself if he impregnated other woman before. But when he dug in his memories, in fact he became celibate for five years already. All because of a certain woman.

Nagpakilala siya at tinanong ang pangalan nito.

Inilahad niya ang kanyang kamay na tinanggap naman nito. Napakaliit ng kamay nito at natatakot siyang baka mapisa niya ito dahil sa liit. Napakagaan ng pakiramdam niya sa bata at makaramdam rin siya ng kakaibang koneksyon dito.

"Crown Schwender, po."

The surname Schwender was really familiar to him. He tried recalling where did he heared of that surname. Naalala niya bigla ang isa sa malapit na kaibigan ng kanyang ama. But the person died many years ago with his wife.
But his brother was still alive and was currently the one who replaced him.

"Alright, Crown. Let's go. Would it be fine if I'll carry you?"

Gulat itong napatingin sa kanya but he immediately hide it. Nagpanggap na lang rin siyang hindi napansin ang reaksiyon nitoy. Tyrone secretly smiled when Crown nodded to give him the permission.

Binuhat niya si Crown at sabay nilang tumungo ang daan papuntang auditorium. Sumunod naman sa kanila ang kanyang secretary at assistant pati na rin si Mr. Monta.

At first he could feel Crown was tense but then he relaxed after getting used in his arms.

Nang bumungad na sa kanila ang auditorium ay dali-daling binuksan ni Mr. Monta ang sliding door at pinauna sila samantalang sumunod naman ito.

The auditorium was organized and the stage was designed very well. Nakikita rin niya ang mga estudyanteng naka-upo sa mga upuan nito at nag-uusap. Mayroong mga teachers na lumapit pagkakita sa kanila.

But their face held a surprised look when they saw him holding a child on his arms. He looked at the little guy who's stretching and turning his head.

"Are you looking for someone?" he asked curiously.

Inikot rin niya ang kanyang paningin para tulungan ito sa paghanap.

"Mommy. I am looking for my mommy."

"Who's your mother? Let's as-" he was caught of gaurd when a little figure suddenly bump and embaces his legs.

"Kuya! Who is he? I was looking for you! You left me there alone!"

He looked down and saw an adorable little girl with a pink ribbon hair tie. Nagulat siya nang mapansing para itong female version ni Crown.She pouted and crossed her arms. Nagtatampo nitong tinapunan ng tingin si Crown makikitaan ang guilt sa mukha.

Crown look at him and he immediately understand the little guy's message. Ibinaba niya si Crown na lumapit kaagad sa batang babae at niyakap ito.

"Im sorry, Ayah. I won't do it again."

Tila nawala ang pagtatampo nito dahil sa yakap ni Crown dahil ngumiti ito at tumango sabay yakap pabalik. Naghiwalay ang dalawang bata. The little girl looked up at him.

"But...who is he? Alala mo, mommy said never talk to strangers. 'Di mo na naman sinunod si mommy."

"He's not a stranger. He is tito Tyrone and he is nice." lumapit si Crown sa tainga ng batang babae at mayroong binulong dito. Tumango-tango naman ito at tumingin sa likod kung nasaan nakatayo ang principal ng mga ito.

"Hi po! Ako po si Tiarah and we're twins po!" the child smile widely showing her canine teeth that made her look more adorable.

"Hello, Tiarah." he pinched Tiarah's chubby check.

Lumapit ito sa kanya at mahinang bumulong. "Thank you for saving kuya from mr. principal po." pagtapos ay lumayo. "Let's go find mommy po!"

Hinawakan siya ni Tiarah at ni Crown sa magkabilang kamay. He didn't protested and instead, he felt happy because of the twins.
Hinila siya ng mga ito patungo sa stage kung saan naroon ang iba pang mga teachers.

Hindi makapaniwalang sinundan ng mga guro ng tingin ang dalawang batang hinihila ang pinaka-sponsor ng kanilang skwelahan na para bang araw-araw nila itong ginagawa. They never thought that the overbearing ceo was soft when it come to children.

It's not only the teachers and the principal who are surprised by Tyrone's actions but also his assistant and secretary.

Lumapit sina Tyrone sa mga gurong nakatayo at handang-handa sa pagwelcome sa kanya. Pero nagbago ang ekspresyon sa mukha ng mganito nang mapunta ang tingin sa dalawang batang humihila sa kanya. The kids are busy dragging him and didn't notice their teacher's expression.

Hinila soya ng mga ito sa isang teacher na mayroong maloit na buhok. Natulala ito nang makita sa malapitan si Tyrone.

"Teacher Jean, teacher Jean! Kita mo po si mommy?" tawag ng mga bata sa guro pero hindi man lang sila tinapunan ng tingin at nanatili lang nakatingin sa kanya.

He frowned and snap his fingers in front of the teacher who was planning to daydream if he didn't snapped his fingers.

"They are asking you if you have seen their mother."

"A-ano...m-may sinauli lang siya sa storage room. M-maupo po muna kayo Mr. Frost habang naghihintay. Kids, punta muna kayo doon sa seat niyo with your classmates. Okay?"

"I still want to be with tito Tyrone." nagtago si Crown sa likod ni Tyrone and Tiarah followed what her twin did.

Ang dalawang bata ay nagtatago sa likuran ni Tyrone dahil ayaw nang mga itong pumunta sa kani-kanilang upuan. Their teacher didn't know what to do.

"Children call him Mr. Frost. You should not-"

"It's fine. I'm the one who told them to call me that way and let them stay with me." he cut her off.

Wala itong naggawa kun'di ang sumang-ayon at mag-utos ng estudyante na kumuha ng upuang magagamit ng dalawang bata. Nagtataka siya kung bakit ganoon nalang ang trato ni Mr. Frost sa dalawang bata. But what confused her the most is the resemblance she notice with the three.

She almost thought that the twins are Mr. Frost' children but she knew better. Jill never mentioned anything about her children's father to anyone.

Tuwang-tuwa naman ang dalawang bata dahil sa pagpayag ng kanilang guro. When the chair arrived, the two immediately climbed their chair that is situated beside Tyrone's chair. Tiarah giggled as she saw her classmates below and waved at them.

Tyrone also felt giddy while watching the children enjoying themselves. Kahit sa simpleng panunuod lang sa magkakambal ay nakaramdam siya ng saya.

Nilapitan siya ni Mr. Monta at sinabi sa kanya ang mga plano pa sa paaralan. He put his attention talking with the principal but was disturbed because of a woman's voice.

"Nakita niyo ang mga anak ko?  Hindi ko sila nakitang kasama ang mga kaklase nila sa baba." may pag-alala ang tono ng boses nito.

"Mommy!" Tiarah squeaked when she saw her mother.

Nanlalaki ang mga matang napatingin sa kanila ang babaeng nagtanong. But at the same time, he was also surprised to see her.
