"Hmm? Why, baby?" I asked in a soft voice and kissed his chubby cheek.
Inayos ko na ang breakfast niya. Inaasikaso ko siyang maigi sa umaga dahil siguradong mami-miss ko siya maghapon.
Cairon pointed the TV. He's watching a cartoon. Ipinakita ang school doon. "Mommy... School and fwends!"
"Gusto mo na pumasok ng school at magkaroon ng friends? Don't worry, malapit na. Ipapasok ka na ni Mommy sa school next year," I said even though, I wasn't sure of it.
Madalang ko ilabas si Cairon. Wala rin siyang birth certificate and other documents na naka-register. Ni walang record na nanganak ako. I requested manang back then to just call a midwife. I know Cairon's father, and even his uncle, Cadence... I don't want them to know about Cairon's existence.
Gusto kong mamuhay na lang
