"Are you dumb? Lasing ka nga." I pushed him as much as I can, but he's so heavy and strong.

"Ano ba! Uuwi na ako!" Nagpupumiglas pa rin ako pero di ko talaga siya kaya. Tutuhurin ko sana yung pagkalalaki niya, "sige gawin mo yan, you'll regret it." Fuck I'm stuck.

"Ano bang kailangan mo sa'kin Mr. Martinez?" He's still looking at me. I can smell the alcohol in his mouth.

"Why did you leave me?" That question hit me so hard.

"Excuse me? Why don't you ask your self jerk?"

"I left for your own good" may namumuo ng mga luha sa mga mata ko na handa nang bumagsak.

"I left you because my father gonna take all from me" my tears finally drops.

"Ako ba di mo inisip? You're just concerned about money even your own happiness is taken by your father." My tears keep falling. He moved aside then I immediately stand. I open the door and leave his condo.

Naka-uwi na ako at pumasok ako sa kwarto ng anak ko. He's so adorable while sleeping. He looks like his father but he's not a coward. Nagising ako na wala na dati ang anak ko.

I went downstairs and I saw my son eating breakfast while Bianca is still sleeping on sofa.

"Goodmorning son" I kissed his forehead.

"Goodmorning too dad"

"Hoy teh gumising Kana diyan anong oras na May photoshoot ka pa" I tapped her shoulder then she open her eyes.

"What time is it?" She wake up and sit in dining table. " 6:30 am"
She ate her breakfast and wash her self.

"C'mon son we're gonna late!" NASA labas na ako at nag hihintay ng tricycle.

"Sumakay kami ng tricycle at bumaba kami sa kanto ng seven eleven at nag antay ng jeep.

"Dad, can I go later to your classroom?" He asked.

"Ok, but behave ka lang ah!" He nodded.

Pumara ako ng jeep na May plakang highway tawid dahil iyon lang ang jeep na hihinto sa school na pinapasukan namin ng anak ko.

"Manong bayad po dalawa, isang estudyante." Inabot ng ibang pasahero ang bayad ko pero biglang prumeno yung driver at nahulog yung pera ko.Pinulot ko isa-isa sa sahig ang barya na binayad ko at binayad ko ulit.

Pumara ako sa tapat ng eskwelahan at bumaba kami ng anak ko.

"Dad, are you ok?" We are ahead to his classroom. "Ok lang France" then he entered his classroom. He's still elementary and I'm a highschool teacher.
I saw his teacher, teacher Mike. One of my suitors here in school.

"Goodmorning sir. Bautista" he smiled at me.

"Morning too" I walked away and  go to the highschool building.

I dropped my things on the teacher's table and start teaching GR. 10 students.

"Ok class we're doing a activity, we're stitching".

"As you can see Class you have to measure the fabric even, understand?" I watched what they're doing but someone got my attention. I saw Terence outside wearing same uniform as me.

"Ok class, pagkatapos niyong mag-gupit ng tela kumuha kayo ng karayom at sinulid." I've got a plan.

I turn my lapel on and put it on high volume. "Ipasok niyo na ang  sinulid sa karayom, make sure all of you wear timble. It's good to have PROTECTION para walang masaktan!" Idiniin ko talaga ang salitang protection para napalingon siya sa gawi ko pero kailangan pa ng konting push.

"Then ipasok niyo na sa tela ang karayom nama'y sinulid. Once you enter there's no turning back. Kapag pinasukan nyo na panindigan niyo na di yung IPAPASOK mo pa sa iba, understood?"

"Yes sir" success! Nasa gawi ko na ang mukha niya at bakas sa mukha niya ang pagtataka. "Ok class it's already time, good bye and see you after 9 YEARS!" fuck ba't ko sinabi yon. Parang gusto ko na lang lumubog sa lupa.

Habang naglilibot ako ng mga gamit ko pumasok na sa loob ng classroom si Terence. "It's my time, Mr. Bautista" then he dropped his things while I'm still putting my things on my bag.

Lunch time na at inaya ako ng co teacher ko na mag lunch. We're ahead to canteen while I saw Terence talking to other teachers. Kitang kita ko kung paano nila tignan si Terence, parang hinuhubaran na nila ito.

Peacefully eating while someone say beside me. I see his plate with full of veggies. Kumain na lang ako pero nakatitig parin siya saakin. Tinignan ko ang kinakain ko, it's a hotdog. Gosh kaya pala niya ako tinititigan. Inubos ko kaagad ang kinakain ko kasi kanina ng bumaba ang tingin ko May Anaconda na sa ilalim na ready manaklaw.

"Class—"hindi ko na naituloy ang sasabihin ko ng May sumigaw sa labas. "DAD!" I hugged him then he sat beside the teachers table.

"Ok class see you next meeting" niligpit ko na ang mga gamit ko dahil tapos na ang trabaho ko.

"C'mon France let's go home na" natigilan ako dahil May isang lalaki ang nasa harapan namin ng anak ko.

"He's your son?" He's calm voice really gives me Goosebumps.

"Dad, why is he looks like me?"
