MIRANA
We waited a few more minutes before Christian decided to leave with sorrow on his face and looked like he could weep. I also felt sorry for him and wanted to stop him from leaving because somehow we were friends and he has helped me a lot on those days that I have nothing but Marco stopped me.
Am I doing the right thing? Should I forgive him? Forgive for the sake of our son? What about myself? Stop it Mirana! You always think of yourself, put your child first. You are already filthy and all you have right now is your son.
Your child has no future for you Mirana. Look at Marco, see if he's with your child not only are they happy but your child's future is sure of him. He can buy Zeke's demands, he can buy Zeke's requirements and even if Zeke is hospitalized he can afford it no matter how much it costs. Now Mirana? Can you do all that? Look at your twin sister now, she has changed so much that she has a good family and lives in a happy home. Swallow your pride even now you are with him even as you round the world admit to yourself once and for all Mirana, that you have always loved Marco so much that you are still hurting every time you see him on television and accompanying women. Zeke is now a grown-up boy and maybe this is the time Mirana for Zeke to have a father. What if you die some of this day, who will your child run into?
"Are you okay?" asked Marco sitting in front of me a little while ago.
"Y-yes," I answered and couldn't understand why I couldn't even look him in the eyes.
We are both here and I want to take this moment to ask him questions I have ever wanted to ask him.
"Marco"
"Ask what you want to ask Mirana. Don't be scared of me please."
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why are you here?"
"Because you are here."
"Do you still love me, Marco?" I asked with all my might and I seemed to dissolve in no time because he didn't answer.
"Whatever you do to me Mirana I have always loved you to this day."
"Why?"
"I will admit Mirana at first that I was filled with anger because of your actions I was blinded by revenge but never lost my love for you. I miss you Mirana and I want to hug you so tight and kiss you. That time you and him kissing I want to punch his face for doing that to you but you responded to his kisses which make me even mad. I love you Mirana more than ever in my life. "
"Marco"
"Do you still love me Mirana?"
"Marco"
"Please answer me."
"Yes, I do still love you."
"No fun at all?"
"I still love you."
Marco stood up to his feet and he made my heart beat faster. It was like the first time we ever saw this happen again. It was like a slow-mo which also makes my heart beats faster.
"Mirana," he said and pulled me upright and gave me a tight hug. I smell his scent, too.
"I love you"
"I love you too Marco"

MARCO
"You live here with our son?" I asked as I roamed my eyes all around. They live in a small house but the surroundings are clean with no dry leaves on the road and almost even grasses are trimmed. Many orchids surround and attach to bamboo.
"This is not a five-star hotel Mr."
"I'm not insulting Mirana. I'm amazed the house is small but clean. It's cute as you are."
"Cute near ugly"
"I am not marrying an ugly woman but you are a gorgeously sexy woman," I said, causing her to turn her gaze away.
"I Zeke here? I want to see him."
"Zeke!" Mirana shouted and in a few seconds, I heard footsteps. I felt like crying when I saw Zeke running towards Mirana. I see myself in him as if I were a little. The picture of them hugging each other aches my heart. Why did I do this? How can I enjoy doing these things to them?
"Zeke do you want to meet your Dy, right?"
"Yes, My is that him?" he asked while staring at me with smiles on his lips. Mirana looked at me with tears in her eyes. It hurts me to see her that way, I was so cruel. I was not a man.
"Yes, baby it is."
"Why did you wev us, Dy?" my eyes go wide as he asks me that straightly, good thing Mirana is here.
"He was just in a far place, but he didn't leave us. You want to hug him?"
"Can I?" he asked and Mirana nodded in response.
"Dy, can you please lift me?"
Without any hesitation, I quickly carried him and held him in my arms. He is my son and I can feel it, I can't hold back and let my tears flow. I know Mirana sees it but I don't care anymore. Pain and happiness simultaneously lingered on me. How could I? How could I have endured so many years for this? I was a very bad person for them. I want to give them what they deserve from the years, months, days, hours, and seconds that they weren't with me.
"I love you so much I love you so much my son," I sob and I know he can hear it.
"I love you too Dy, we love you don't do it again okay?"
"Again what?"
"Don't wev us again," he said and pressed my cheeks with his warm palm.
"Never"
"Mirana can we have time together?" I asked her and I know she still has a doubt.
"Inside your house, we'll just play."
"Of course you can. Go in and I think later it will rain. I'll prepare you a snack."
"Crinkles!" I and Zeke said in unison that we both laugh.
"Is that your favorite huh son?"
"Uhuh, it is. My, is good at baking those!"
"Okay okay," I chuckled and looked at Mirana.
"I love you," I said in whisper enough for her to hear it but she turned her gaze away and turned her heels and first got in the house.
