AUTHOR'S POV

Tael is wearing a three-piece white suit and a black leather shoes. Nikka make sure everything is okay bago nya inaya si Tael palabas at baba ng bahay.

Tael remained silent. Madami syang tanong sa kanyang isipan. The whole mansion is noisy. Lahat ng kasambahay ay abala sa paghahanda ng kung ano-ano. He want to asked his ate Nikka pero mas pinili nya manahimik. He just observe his surroundings. Besides inaantok na din sya. Gusto na nya matulog at makatabi ang kanyang daddy Myth. Kung pwede lang na hindi na sya lumabas ng kwarto ay ginawa na nya.

"Sa likod tayo pupunta Tael ha." Ani Nikka. Nakaalalay pa din ito kay Tael. She is holding Tael's hand by her left hand at ang kanyang kanang kamay  ay nasa likuran nito. She keep on checking Tael's steps dahil madulas ang tiles and one wrong step, maaaring madisgrasya si Tael.

"Sa garden sa likod ate?" Inosenteng tanong ni Tael.

"Oo."

"Okay po." Tapos ay humikab si Tael. Nikka felt a little bit pity to him. It's a little late at the night already and for someone like Tael, dapat natutulog na ito. Bawal na bawal sa buntis ang nagpupuyat. Gusto nya sana pagilan si Myth sa surprisa nito kay Tael, but she know it can't be delayed. It's what Tael wants and it is the reason kung bakit ito naospital. All she can do now is to make sure that Tael is safe and the surprise will end well.

Pakarating nila sa likuran ay agad na nag iba ang tugtug. The light suddenly turn of and a big screen switch on.

"Dito ka lang ha. Tayo ka lang dyan tapos panuorin mo yung video." Bulong ni Nikka kay Tael. Tumango lang ang huli at sinunod ang utos ng una.

(THE VIDEO BGM IS IKAW AT AKO MY MOIRA. I'LL POSTED THE FULL.VIDEO ONCE I'M DONE EDITINGN IT ON MY FB)

A video played on the screen. It's contain of Tael picture. Most are stolen. There are also videos at lahat iyon ay kuya ni Myth. May mga pic na natutulog si Tael o kaya ay kumakain. Mayroong ngpapa cute ito sa camera.

Hindi alam ni Tael kung ano ang kanyang mararamdam. He just cried and sob. He was touch of the video he saw and he want his daddy beside his right now.

He keep on crying as the video continue. He hold his belly and rub it gently, seems like he is sending some message to the little one inside him to hold on dahil nagdadrama muna ang daddy nya.

When the video ended, Myth appeared from somewhere. Gusto itong takbuhin ni Tael, pero pinigil nya ang kanyang sarili.

"Alam ko ba kung ano ang dinala ko sa akin mula ng makilala kita Tael?" Tanong ni Myth habang buong pagmamahal itong sa kanyang baby.

Iling lang ang sinagot ni Tael. Umiiyak pa din kasi sya.

"Binigyan mo ako ng rason para makita kung gaano kaganda ang buhay na mayroon ako. Binigyan mo ng kulay ang mundo ko. You gave me a new air to breath. Of course you cured me. Bonus nalang siguro yun. Takot ako na dalhin ka sa mundo ko noong una. I'm not doubting my ability. I know I can protect you. Pero isa ka kasing anghel, baby. At ang dalhin ka sa mundo ko, para akong nagpasok ng anghel sa impyerno. But, what more scared me is the fact that you are too pretty. Madaming maakit sa ganda mo. Imagining you in arms of other man frightened me the most."

"I know I give you a reason kung bakit kita kinuha sa resto ng pinsan ko. But to be honest with you, ang totoong rason kung bakit kita kinuha, is because, you owned my heart right before I bumped on me. You claimed it instantly."

"Daddy tagalog. Wag english, hindi ko masyadong maintindihan." Ani Tael habang umiiyak pa din.

Nakarinig ng tawa sa paligid si Tael. He ignore it and he focus on his daddy.

Ngumiti lang si Myth. He walk slowly towards his baby.

"Mahal kita baby Tael ko. Mahal na mahal, sobra. Ikaw ang huling taong gusto ko makita bago ako matulog. Ikaw ang taong gusto makita agad sa pagmulat ng aking mata. Ikaw ang taong gusto ko makasama hanggang sa aking huling hininga."

Myth stop in front of his baby. He held his face and dry the tears that flowing on his baby's cheeks.

"I love you baby. Hindi ako magsasawa na sabihin yan sayo araw-araw. Kahit pa oras-oras, malaman mo lang kung gaano kita kamahal."

"I love you too daddy. Love na love din kita. Wag ka na magalit please. Bati na tayo ha."

Myth smile. His baby is damn cute and too innocent. Ikakasal nalang sya but he is still clueless.

Kinuha ni Myth ang kahita ng singsing sa kanyang bulsa, then he folded his one knees down. Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ni Tael. He is now aware of what is happening. Salamat sa mga drama na minsan nyang napapanuod.

"Kung mahal mo ako baby, bibigyan mo ba ako ng karapatan na baguhin ang apelyido mo? Can I have honour to be your husband? Papakasalan mo ba ako baby?" Sinserong tanong ni Myth.

"Kailangan ba my honor pa? Bibilhan pa kita ng medal nyan, wala na akong pera? Pwede sa sunod nalang medal mo daddy."

Myth just nod his head. Pinipigilan nya tumawa. Maging ang mga tao sa paligid na nanunuod sa kanila ay nag pipigil ng tawa.

"Papakasalan mo ba ako si daddy Myth, Tael?" Muling tanong ni Myth.

"Opo. Papakasal po ako sayo."

Myth immediately stand up and kiss Tael's lips. Then he hug his baby tighly and whispered I love you to Tael's  ear. Bago pa man makasagot si Tael, Myth pulled away and wear the ring on Tael's finger. Tuwang-tuwa naman si Tael. Kulang nalang ay magtatalon ito sa tuwa. He just kissed his daddy and say I love you in a veru cute way he can.

Isang masigabong palakpakan naman ang ginawad sa kanila ng mga nasa paligid nila. All the light switch on, revealing the beautiful decoration of the garden.

"Hala daddy, ang ganda!" Bulalas ni Tael ng makita ang set up na paligid.

The lights are combination of pink and light. There is a fountain on the other side of the garden. All the trees are decorated by lights. Pink petals and roses and everywhere. There is also an arch on the right side and an altar behind it. A petals was arrange to formed an aisle toward the arch. Table and chairs are also covered by link cloth and decorated by the white cloth. There are also stones hanging, making a small reflection of the lights.

"You like it baby?" Masuyong tanong ni Myth kay Tael.

"Opo daddy. Ang ganda. Pero ano pong mayroon bukod sa inaya mo ako magpakasal?"

"Kasal natin."

"Ha?! Agad-agad? Pero paano yan, wala si tita dito? Tapos hindi pa kita napapakilala sa mama at papa ko?"

"No need. Your parents are here."

"Hala ka daddy? Kaya mo bumuhay ng patay? May magic ka?"

Myth flicked Tael's forehead gently. Agad naman syang sinamaan ng tingin ni Tael.

"Iiksian ko nalang ang kwento baby, ikakasal pa tayo eh. Hindi ka tunay na anak ng kinilala kong magulang. Ampon ka lang nila. Yung tunay mong magulang, buhay at andito sila ngayon para makasama ka."

Tinuro ni Myth ang likuran ni Tael. Agad naman lumingon sa likod si Tael and he saw a couple standing behind him, smiling.

"My baby!" Agad na niyakap ni Mrs. Cardenal si Tael. She cried and tightly embrassed his long lost son. Mr. Carson followed after his failed attempt on holding his tears. Niyakap nya ang kanyang mag ina at umiyak.

"Magulang ko po kayo?" Walang emosyon na tanong ni Tael.

Tumango lang si Mrs. Calderon. She can't uttered any word. She keep on crying.

"Bakit nyo ako pinamigay? Ayaw nyo ba sa akin?"

Mr. and Mrs. Calderon immediately pulled away from hugging their son.

"Hindi anak. Mahal ka namin. Kailan man ay hindi ka namin aayawan." Sagot ni Mr. Calderon.

"Pero bakit nyo ako pinamigay?" Tael also start crying. Myth immediately try to calm his baby.

"No. Hindi ka namin pinamigay. May kumuha sayo. Kinidnap ka at nilayo sa amin." Agad na paliwanay ni Mr. Calderon. They know that this will a long explanation at handa silang magpaliwanag sa kanilang anak.

"Hindi nyo naman ako hinanap eh." Ani Tael.

"Hinanap ka namin. Kulang nakang baliktarin namin ang buong bansa para hanapin ka. Humantong pa kami pagkamuhi sa pamilya ni Myth. May nagsabi kasi na sila ang naglayo sa amin sayo. Masyado na kaming disperado noon kaya napaniwala kami. But after 5 years, we found you. Alam namin na ikaw yun. Agad naming kinausap yung babaeng may hawak sayo and asked about you. She is so honest. Dinala pa nya kami sa bahay nyo para pakita ang baby carrier kung saan ka nakalagay ng makuha ka nya sa palengke." Ani Mr. Calderon.

"Bakit hindi nyo ako kinuha?" Tael hugged his daddy. Yung saya na nararamdaman nya kanina ay napalitan ng lungkot.

"Kasi hindi namin magawa. Mafia is too dangerous that time. You are in a very safe place at ayaw pa namin ilagay sa kapahamakan. So we decided to let you stay in that family. Binigay din namin sa kanila ang kambal mong kapatid para lang masiguradong sage sila." Muling paliwanag ni Mr. Calderon. Mrs. Calderon just keep on ctying beside her husband.

"Si Aira at si April?"

Mabilis na tumango ang mag-asawa.

"Nung mamatay ang kinalakihan nyong magulang, gusto na namin kayong kunin. But, we still can't. Nakuha ng kapatid nyo ang pamumuno sa pamilya natin. Kinulong nya kami ng daddy mo sa bahay and he manage everything according to his plan. Kaylan lang nalaman ni Myth and tungkol sa sitwasyon namin at kanina lang kami nya naitakas."

Tael look at his daddy. Myth immediately nod his head to confirm what Mrs. Calderon said.

"Kuya." Aira and April appeared behind Myth and Tael.

"Totoo ang sinasabi nila. Mama left a diary, nabasa ko ang lahat ng laman nuon. Sila ang totoong magulang natin." Ani April.

Tael take a look to the two person in front of him. Matama nya lang itong tinignan.

"Hindi nyo na ba kami iiwan?" Tanong ni Tael makalipas ang ilang sandali.

"Hindi na anak. We will make our family whole again." Umiiyak ni sagot ni Mrs. Calderon.

"I will promise that no one can separate us again anak." Susog ni Mr. Calderon.

"English kayo ng english hindi ko naman naiintindihan. Pero ayos lang basta hindi nyo na kami iiwan ulit. Ayaw ko na mawalan ng magulang."

Tael throw his self to his fathers arm and cry. Agad din naman yumakap ang kambal at ang kanilang ina.

"Hindi na anak. Hindi na kami mawawala sayo. Pangako yan." Ani Mr. Calderon.

On the dark side of the garden, on the top of the cement fence, a pair of eyes is watching the scene. He is clenching his fist tighly.

"Enjoy the happy moment. Akin ang pwesto ko ngayon. Myth is also mine. Whoever dare to snatch what is mine will enter the door of hell!" Gigil na saad ni Waze before he decide to jump down the fence and left the mansion.

His spy inside came near him.

"Waze." Mahinang bati nito.

"Ayusin mo ang trabaho mo. Make sure Tael will gave birth to a premature baby.  Kidnap him before that. Ayusin mo na magagawa mo ng maayos ang trabao mo, kung hindi papatayin ko ang kapatid mo."

"Masusunod Waze."

Waze left without any words. Sinundan lang sya ng tingin ng lalaki.

"Leeg ko lang ang hawak mo Waze, not my loyatly. You are nothing compare to Tael. I will lay my life to him, walang matutupad sa lahat ng plano mo, tang ina ka!" Gigil na wika ng lalaki.

He just make sure first that no one saw him, before he enter the mansion again and join everyone to witness Myth and Tael's wedding.
