LUMILIPAD ang utak ni Kyst kung saan kaya hindi niya gaanong napagtutuunan ng pansin ang matandang tiyahin ni Isabella. She's spitting nonsense about their family business, she's no good. Why take the company that it's not hers if she cannot take care of it? I heard from my investors and from Jyrelle that Fontanilla's Empire was slowly drifting off because of this woman and her daughter. Who happens to be a barbie too.

He sighed deeply and rest his arm on the arm rest of the sofa. Tumingin siya sa bintana at hinayaan ang ibang kaibigan na kausapin ang matanda, ang pa plastik nila. Beside, he's thinking about his baby right now.

She just say 'I love you' to him and his heart literally stopped beating for a seconds. The happiness fulfilled his heart was too much. His heart can take only a few attack from Angelyn, he's weak when it comes to her. He open his phone and smiled when they saw their picture together with Khaila. Naka wall paper at lock screen 'yon sa phone niya.

"Sana all..." umismid si Kyst nang may bumulong na demonyo sakanya. None other than Killian.

"Anong oras darating si Jyrelle?" tanong ni Alistair sakanilang dalawa ni Killian.

"Why? Kailangan mo nang umalis?" He asked.

"Yes, I have a meeting." Ali answered and glance at his wrist watch.

"Edi umalis kana." Killian taunted and smirk.

Ali scowled and raised his middle finger. "Isa kang tarantado. Bugok!" malutong na mura ni Ali kay Killian na tinawanan lang nito.

Hindi nalang niya pinansin ang dalawa na nag-umpisa nang mag bangayan sa harap niya. Even Ranger didn't heed them any attention, mas gusto pa yatang makinig sa walang kwentang usapan ng Aunti ni Isabella at ng ilang kaibigan nila.

Angelyn was back to work and her baby was now on his manager's care. He also have a photoshoot later, kaya after nito sisibat na rin siya. It's his last Photoshoot for a famous magazine, kaya kailangan niyang siputin. This is last and he'll stop. For sure he's parents will celebrate, they supported him but after her wife's died. Tumutol na ang mga ito sa pag mo-modelo niya.

A part of him was still unsure but it's for the best. Once he quits modelling he'll have a lot of time for Angelyn and his little angel, Khaila. After the photo shoot, ipapakilala na din niya ang dalawa sa magulang niya. Sigurado na matutuwa ang mga 'yon. He opened his Tele and sent a message to her Mom.

Kyst: Ma?

Nagpalipas lang siya ng ilang segundo agad na nag reply ang ina niyang si Crisell.

CrisellMiller: Yes son? Need anything?

Kyst: Nope. Manganga-musta lang?

CrisellMiller: Really? Naghihimala ka ba anak?

He bit his lower lip to stop himself from smiling.

Kyst: Kailan uwi niyo ni Dad?

CrisellMiller: This is really a miracle! Son, alam kong alam mo na ayaw mo kaming pauwiin sa Pilipinas dahil pipilitin.. No. Ako mismo ang gagawa ng paraan para matigil ka sa modelling career mo. So, what's the change?

Kyst: Well... I met a woman.

CrisellMiller: Omg. Call me later, we're going out. Ay hindi! Ako ang tatawag sayo! Bye son, I love you!

Kyst: Ingat po kayo ni Dad. I love you too.

CrisellMiller: Nag 'po' ka. Sinapian ka nga.

Naiiling na pinatay ni Kyst ang cellphone niya. He didn't noticed that Jyrelle already arrived and now talking with Isabella's aunt. He smirked while playing his phone in his hand, Jyrelle looked very proud while branding Isabella as his wife. They're really on the same page.

Kyst attentively listened, ganoon din ang mga kaibigan niya while Isabella's aunt was talking about how she planned all the crimes she committed, without any hesitation, without any guilt. Hindi niya lubos akalain na may ganitong klaseng tao pa pala. They've panicked when they saw Isabella collapsed. Pero si Jyrelle na ang nagdala sa girlfriend niya sa hospital, they contacted Caleb, para salubungin sina Jyrelle sa hospital.

"Fuck! I can't come to the hospital, I need to go. Paki sabi kay Jyrelle pupunta ako mamaya!" natatarantang sabi ni Ali at tumakbo na palabas. He wants to go to the hospital to check on Isabella but his manager, Mabel. Sent him already a message.

"Me too." he said and showed his phone to his friends.

"Balitaan nalang kita!" Killian said and tapped his shoulder. Ganoon din ang ginawa ng iba pero may ilan sa mga kaibigan niya na hindi simpleng tapik ang ginawa.

"Tangina niyo!" sigaw niya sa mga ito.

"Bawas puntos ka sa langit, Bud!" sigaw ni Mikael sakanya.

"Nagbibilang kayo?" Ranger raised his brows. Tamad itong nakasalampak ng upo sa sofa.

"Ako hindi na. Masyado akong hot para papasukin sa langit." nakangising sagot ni Castiel.

"Walang nagtatanong!" we shouted in unison and turned our back on him. Nag-unahan pang makalabas ng office ni Jyrelle.

Kyst slid himself inside his car and drive his ass off. Nasa venue na ang manager niya kasama ang anghel niyang si Khaila. Dati, iniisip palang niya na titigil siya sa pagmo-modelo nababaliw na siya. Naalala pa niya na minsan nang pinag-awayan ito ng dating asawa, she wants him to stop modelling because he's exhausting himself. Managing a large company and photo shoots after photo shoots, he even sometimes needs to fly abroad for runway show.

Pero ngayon, wala siyang maramdaman na pagsisisi. Kyst glance at the dash board, may cute na octopus doon. It was his wife favorite toy, pwede kasi iyong baliktarin. It was smiling at him, because that night, bago maaksidente ang asawa. He gifted her a new sets of jewelry and make love after.

"Hazel, I am finally happy. Are you happy for me too? Alam kong hindi ako naging mabuting asawa sayo, I am always a busy man. Bumabawi lang kapag nagagalit kana. You're like a dragon, when mad. Gugustuhin ko nalang magtago sa bahay namin kaysa umuwi sa bahay natin." he glance at the octopus again.

"Love, she's so much like you. But I didn't fell for her because of that. May something sa kanya na hindi ko ma-ipaliwanag. Allow me to love her, please? I can't lose her... the way I lose you..." A tear slid on his face. Kinuha ni Kyst ang octopus na stuff toy at hinagkan, it was her only memory of his wife.

Lahat ng gamit ng asawa niya, tinangay ng mga magulang nito. He didn't talk because they're still his wife's parents. He kissed the octopus first before fixing him self up. He needs to look really good for this. Pinunasan niya ang luha sa pisngi bago lumabas sa sasakyan at pumasok sa studio. He greeted everyone and smile.

"Papa!" sigaw nang anghel niya nang makita siya. Nilapitan niya ito at hinalikan ang pisngi.

"Papa will just work okay? Tapos pupuntahan natin si Mamu." Khaila cutely nodded at him.

Inasikaso na siya ng mga staff, they didn't bother to put make up on his face. They just cleanse it and put some tint on his lips, para lalong pumula ang mga labi niya. Then he changed his pants and shoes. Sa taas ay wala siyang suot na panloob, he was just holding a coat. May mga poses na nakaupo siya at nakatayo. Looking fiercely and ruthless at the camera.

"You sure na titigil kana? Damn, man! Sayang!" said the photographer. "Dati naman, pinapatigil ka ng asawa mo but you didn't stop because according to you... you love modelling." dagdag pa niya. Kyst mood turned into sour.

"I regretted not granting my wife's wished." he said and tapped his shoulder, sinalubong siya ni Mabel at ibinigay sakanya ang isang paper bag na naglalaman ng damit niya.

"Nakatulog na ang apo ko, bihis kana para maka-uwi na tayo." Mabel said and glanced at the sofa, nandoon ang anghel niya at natutulog, hugging a teddy bear.

"Hi Kyst! Is that your daughter?" tinignan niya ang babae. The female model for the next photo shoots.

"Yes." maikling sagot niya.

"She's so cute! I can be her mother..." the woman said dreamily.

"You can't. May nanay na ang anak ko." he said rudely. The smile on her lips faded. Kyst gave her a lopsided grin and turn his back on her.

He glance at his daughter before entering the dressing room. Mabilis siyang nagbihis at lumabas, kailangan pa nilang sunduin si Angelyn. Tinignan niya ang cell phone at chineck kung may message galing sa ina niya pero wala. Her mother is sometimes crazy, hindi niya mabasa ang mga susunod na galawa nito.

"Let's go." aya niya.

Si Kyst na ang nagbuhat sa anak at sa bag na dala dala nito. Hindi man lang nagising ang bata nang galawin niya ito. Pagdating sa loob ng Van, inayos ni Kyst and pagkaka buhat sa anak para hindi ito mangalay pagka gising niya. For the first time, Mabel keep his mouth shut. Hindi nakatanggap ng sermon si Kyst mula dito.

"Mabel, you can still work in my company." he said. Mabel looked at him and smiled.

"Salamat! Pero paalala lang, wala akong alam sa business." Mabel chuckled.

"But you're too good at managing. I am planning to build a modelling agency, you can work there. How's that?" tanong niya dito. Noon pa niya binabalak na magtayo ng sarili niyang negosyo, but his parents won't let him. Saying that they already have a business that he need to managed.

"Bongga! Sige bet ko 'yan!" Mabel clapped his hands.

Hindi niya pwedeng basta basta nalang bitawan ang manager niya. Mabel was with him since he started his career, at kung hindi dahil dito hindi siya sisikat at hindi dadami ang gig niya. One more thing, Mabel is like a family to him. Nang makarating sila sa School, si Mabel na lang ang bumaba para sunduin si Angelyn. Hindi siya makatayo dahil kandong parin niya ang anak at takot siya na magising nito.

"Hi! How's your day?" salubong sakanya ni Angelyn at hinalikan sa labi.

"Tired. How about you, baby?" he smiled at her and fixed her hair. Si Mabel na ang nagsara ng pintuan ng Van para kay Angelyn.

"Tiring but fulfilling! Oh, masyado bang napagod ang anak natin?" she asked while combing her daughter hair. Napangiti si Kyst sa narinig niya, this is the first time that Angelyn said the words 'Anak natin'. Damn, his heart skips a beat again.

"Nope. Na bored siguro kaya nakatulog." sagot niya habang nakatingin sa anak.

"Kyst? Si Ma'am Crisell." Mabel said and showed up his phone to him. Inabot niya 'yon.

"Hi Mom." he greeted, tho he's confused. Pwede naman na sakanya ito tumawag.

[Hi son! We're going home next next week, I guess? Uh.. not sure. Nag-eenjoy pa kami ng Daddy mo dito sa Paris!] His mom exclaimed.

"Oookay?"

[Open up your camera baby boy!] Napangiwi siya sa tinawag ng nanay niya. Kyst turned the phone loud speaker and turn the camera on. [Hi son! Oh my God!] napatakip sa bibig ang nanay niya nang makita ang bata na karga karga niya. Angelyn held his hand and squeezed it. Her hands were cold and trembling, he smiled at her to assured that it's okay.

[Kaysel! Honey! Come here! Look at our son! He's carrying a baby girl! A baby girl! Oh God!] Itinirik ni Kyst ang mata. His mother sometimes pain in the ass. She kept on screaming and yelling at his Father.

"Ma! Lower down your voice!" he hissed. Pero hindi siya pinansin ng nanay niya.

[What? I'm taking a bath and you keep screaming! Akala ko nasusunog na ang hotel room natin! Ano ba yan?] dinig niyang reklamo ng Daddy niya.

"Hi Dad! I missed you." he said.

[Hi son! Oh God!] Kyst rolled his eyes.

Word of the day: Oh God!

[What a beautiful young lady! I want her!] sigaw ulit nang nanay niya. Parang manika ang anak niya, kung makasigaw ito na gusto niya 'to.

"Mom! She's my daughter." tumigil kakasigaw ang nanay niya at humigpit ang hawak ni Angelyn sa kamay niya. Kyst squeezed her hand.

His Mother eyes twinkled and snatched the phone to his Father's hand. [Ah-huh! I'm guessing! I'm guessing! Anak 'yan nang babae na nakilala mo? Tapos inangkin mo? Hoy! Ibalik mo ang bata sa nanay! Hindi kita pinakilalang magnanakaw ng anak ha!] sigaw ng nanay niya sakanya.

He glance at Angelyn, tears were rolling down on her cheeks. Worries was plastered on Mabel's face. Ibinaba muna niya ang cellphone na hawak at pinunasan ang luha ni Angelyn.

"Calm down... baby..." he whispered.

[But... Kung ganyan kaganda ang bata. Pwedeng kidnapin mo na din pati ang nanay?] nanlaki ang mga mata ni Angelyn sa narinig, even him didn't expect that his mother would say such things. [Hon!] suway ng daddy niya.

"Go home and you'll meet my amazing girlfriend." he proudly said.

[Tell her that her Mother-in-law says Hiiiiii!] sumakit ang tainga ni Kyst sa boses ng Mama niya. But he had to endure it since it was her mother. [And tell her that her soon to be Father-in-law says 'Welcome to the Family!'] he smiled genuinely to his parent's. He thought that he's going to have a hard time, but it turns out to be like this. His family was really something. Crazy.

"You heard 'em? They love you, baby... And I love you." he said and planted a kissed on the back of her hand.
