TYRONE'S P.O.V

I changed my mind yesterday on introducing CJ to my family because I am not yet ready so I told her na hindi ko masusundo si CJ sa school niya. I already told Sofia about my son just yesterday when I got home because I can't stand feeling guilty for a long time and it didn't go well because she freaked out. I am planning to introduce him to them today and now Im in front of their doorstep because I am going to fetch CJ. Hesitating to knock or just wait for someone to open the door. I am not ready to face Jill though I don't know if this is right to feel but I kind of miss her. It is getting hard for me to sleep every night thinking about my son and... Okay I'll admit it, Im also thinking about her. She's been running around my head every single minute for an unknown reason. It's really pissing me off.

May malaking kasalanan pa siya saakin pero hindi ko talaga siya matanggal sa isip ko. And it is not my only problem. I don't know how to tell my family and girlfriend about my son.

Nakatayo lang ako at lumipas ang limang minuto ay napagdisesyunan ko ng katokin ang pinto but my hand stopped mid-air when the door suddenly opened. Nagtatakang mukha ni Jill ang sumalubong saakin pero sinalubong ko lang ito ng malamig na tingin.

"T-Tyrone... U-Uhm p-pasok ka. Nasa loob si CJ." tinalikuran niya ako kaya sumunod ako sa kanya at pumasok. Dumiretso siya sa kusina at sinundan ko lang siya ng tingin.

Smile flash on my face when I see my son playing with his toy truck but when he notice me. He immediately let go of the toy truck and run to me.

"Dad! You're here!" I pick him up and give him a light kiss on his forehead.

"Of course I am. I am missing my little boy and I can't stand not seeing you even for a day." I told him with a genuine smile.

"Really?" I nodded and their are sparkle in his eyes when I said those words.
My forehead creased when I notice his silence.

"Son?" tawag ko sa kanya at napatingin naman siya saakin.

"I wish you are my real dad though I already have one pero gusto ko po kayo maging totoong daddy ko. Gusto ko po rin naman ang real dad ko because he is my father after all and I love him kahit po hindi ko pa siya nakikita. Mommy said that he is working hard for my future that's why he is always busy and nasa malayong place po siya. Pero po you're nice and palagi mo po akong binibilhan ng toys and you also bring me po sa Enchanted Kingdom." I was surprise because of what he said. I was delighted by what he said.

Kahit na hindi man niya ako makilala ay mamahalin parin niya ako. Nagpapasalamat din ako kay Jill dahil magagandang bagay ang sinabi niya sa anak namin tungkol saakin.

"So you only like me because I am buying you toys and taking you to a theme park?" kunwaring pagtatampo ko.

Nanlaki ang mata niya which I find adorable and cute.

"No! It's not because of that! I love you because...uhm, I love you? Kailangan po ba may dahilan kaya mahal mo ang isang tao?" nakakunot noong tanong niya.

Napangiti ako sa tanong niya at umiling.

"No... But I'll explain it to you when you're big enough." agad kong sabi dahil akmang magtatanong na naman siya.

Napagawi ang tingin ko kay Jill na papasok sa sala. May dala siyang juice at ipinwesto ito sa ibabaw ng maliit na mesa na nasa harap ng sofa. Binigyan niya ako ng may pag-alinlangang ngiti. I feel her uneasiness being with me around.

"Uminom ka muna." I nodded and sit on the sofa while CJ don't want to let go of me.

I drinked the juice she served for me while my son is on my lap and already busy playing with his toy truck.

"So uhm, hihiramin mo si CJ ngayon?" I stayed emotionless while staring at her.

"Yes and also, I want to bring him to my condo. He will live there... permanently with me and if you'll ask me why. I want my son to be safe and I don't think this place is good for him and I only want the best for my son. We have a tight security and more clean and comfortable place. You can visit him there but you have to inform me. I will hire a nanny to look after him everytime I will be out. So you don't have to worry anyting."
Her eyes widened in surprise.
Sandaling natahimik siya at halata ang inis sa mukha niya habang nakatingin saakin.

"Paano kung hindi ako papayag?" there's a sternnes in her voice.

"You want to go through the court?" I asked challenging her.

Mukhang natakot siya at may pag-aalinlangan sa mukha niya. She looked at our son na walang pakialam saamin at patuloy parin sa paglalaro sa laruan niya. There's sudden sadness place on her face while looking at him. Natahimik ulit siya. Bigla akong naguilty.

"Bakit pabigla-bigla? Hindi mo ba naisip na gusto ko pang makapiling ang anak ko? Oo nga't wala ka ng pitong taon sa buhay niya kaya hindi niya natamasa ang magkaroon ng ama pero ngayon namang nandito ka na, gusto mo naman siyang pagkaitan ng ina."
Kalma lang ang boses niya pero alam ko na nagtitimpi lang siya.

"I understand your part, but I just want my son to have a better life. Nararamdaman ko rin na hindi siya ligtas, dito kaya masisisi mo ba ako?"

I am a Mafia Boss and she don't know that. Malabong hindi ko mapapansin ang panganib na nakapaligid sa isang lugar and she's sometimes very protective of CJ kaya may paghihinala ako. Palagi siya nakaalarma sa paligid na para bang may dadating at saktan sila. Kaya hindi ako mapalagay.

"*sigh* I-i don't know. B-but, please... At least give me some time to think." she said with her pleading eyes.

I let out a deep breath. Maybe she needs some time to think. I know it seems like I'm taking him away from her but I just want to protect him from any harm.

"Okay... But I want your answer the day after tomorrow. Im very impatient." I told her seriously.

"Mommy, are you alright? You look so sad?" napatingin ako kay CJ na nagtatakang nakatingin kay Jill.
Nginitian lang niya ito at umiling.

"Of course baby, I'm fine and I'm not sad. Paano ba ako magiging sad kung may anak akong kasing gwapo tulad mo"

We left a few minutes after. It's not actually a long ride. The ride was only thirty minutes. We enter in the biggest and most luxurious village all over the country, owned by my family. Every mansion we passed by screams luxury and wealth. I look at my son and his face held confusion all over it when we stop at the most largest mansion in the whole village.

Im going to tell him...
Right...

This is it.

I breath deeply at hinanda ko ang sarili ko sa magiging reaction niya.

"CJ, do you know why you look like me?" there...nasabi ko rin.

"Yes po." sinabayan pa niya ng pagtango.

"And..??" I said telling him to continue.

"You're my father's brother, right? It's impossible na ikaw ang papa ko po. Kaya maybe, relative mo po ang papa ko." malaki ang ngiting sabi niya.

I let out a force smile and hold his little hands. I look directly at his eyes.

"No. Your wrong." naalis ang ngiti sa mga labi niya at nagtataka akong tiningnan.

"I am your father, son. And I don't have a brother." He gasp in surprise.

"Y-your mom...she didn't told you because she don't know how to explain it to you that's why she let me tell you instead." Surprised is obvious on his little innocent face.
Nakatulalang nakatingin lang siya saakin kaya bigla akong kinabahan. Damn! I didn't thought this is hard.

"Son?" nataranta ako nang napansin kong bigla siyang umiyak.

"You're not joking,right dad?"

"I am not..." I answered while biting my lower lip. God! I am nervous.

Nakakahiya kapag makita ako ng mga katropa at kabusiness partners ko na kinakabahan ako dahil lang sa magiging reaction ng isang bata.
Nataranta ako dahil napansin kong tumulo ang kanyang luha.

"Son-" I was cut off because he suddenly hug me and cry on my shoulder.

"You're my f-father *sobs* I h-have a daddy..." he said which made me smile. I hug him tightly. My eyes turned misty as he cried under my embrace.

"It's okay son... Don't cry. I won't leave you again, okay?" inangat niya ang kanyang ulo para tingnan ako.

"Promise?" he let out his pinky finger. I saw the hope in his eyes and I am not planning to remove it.

"Promise." I assuredly said at nakipagpinky swear sa kanya.

Ngumiti siya ng malaki at ibinaling ang tingin sa napakalaking gate at napansin ko ang pagningning ng kanyang mga mata.
Tonight, they'll meet my son and I hope everything will go well.

"Why are we here dad?" suddenly his amusement was replaced with cofusion.

"We're here to meet your grandparents."

Umawang bigla ang bibig niya dahil sa gulat. Which I find really cute. I laugh silently inside my mind. Parang bigla siyang tinakasan ng kulay dahil sa pagkabigla.

"It'll be fine son. They'll not going to eat you and if someone will hurt you they'll pass through me first." i give him an assurance smile and I pat his head.

"Just...breath...okay?" he nods and I start the engine.

May pinindot akong remote para bumukas ang napakalaking gate namin. Manghang mangha naman si CJ pagkakita sa buong paligid.
Actually my mother personaly hired a landscape artist and also the best interior designer.
Beside the wide lawn is our garage and it is full of car collections. My father is fan of cars. Some of them are from the auctions around the world.

I look at my son who's gaping at the expensive cars.

"I'll buy you one someday but first, are you ready son?" he nod but there's still hesitation written on his face.
