'The first born son and the heir of Conrad Enterprise: Van Sebastian Conrad, will be married this year to the only daughter and heiress of the Perez Company: Celine Perez. Mr. Conrad and Mr. Perez are expecting that their first child will be a boy. '
I read in a magazine that AJ laid on the bar counter as I drank water.
Van wore a suit and the woman he was holding at the waist was featured in the magazine.
"Old magazine?" I asked as he took it again and put it in the trashbin.
He looked at me, then nodded. "Yes, here's the new one." She shook her head and showed her another magazine. The first time I read the Conrad in the feature I immediately shook my head and laid the glass on the table when he would give the magazine.
I turned to look at my three cute kids, they ran closer to me. Larissa hit my leg when she was the first to get closer to me and she came closer and hugged my leg again. The two obeyed.
"Mommy! Look oh. "
Larissa raised her hand holding a band paper so I took it and looked.
A woman with long wavy brown hair and with a flower in her right ear drawing.
"Mommy, look at this too!" I heard Melissa say that there was also a band paper and Sharmaine.
I smiled, I watched them and took the band paper of the two as well as the drawing but the flower in the ear was unique.
"Who is this beautiful girl?" I smiled, I wondered when they taught me.
"You, mommy!" I laughed softly when they said that.
"Really? How sweet. " I said and hugged them.
"No way, we drew that so we should have a hug too."
I turned to my two young men to come immediately and hug me, I chuckled and hugged them back.
"You two drew this?" I asked as they lost their hug. The two nodded and smiled so I looked up at the drawing again.
"Mommy! We colored it! " My girls said.
"Yes, honey, thank you I appreciate it."
The five smiled broadly and they kissed me one by one.
"Mommy has saliva in cheeks." I say. I laughed softly as they wiped their lips and left, while the other two approached me and grabbed my cheek.
"Here, mommy!" I heard and saw that there were tissue carrying.
I blinked as they wiped my cheek and Steve stopped talking.
"Mommy is joking."
The three were already moaning when I looked at them, "Pft, sorry." I said and peace.
"They have been married for five years and yet they have no children?"
I was surprised to hear what AJ had to say so I turned to look at it, looking at the magazine.
"Who?" I asked.
I turned to my children when they said they were going back to the living room to draw again so I nodded and smiled, I was going to talk but AJ started me.
"Van Sebastian Conrad and his wife Celine Perez."
The smile on my lips disappeared when I heard it.
"Mommy?"
I tried to smile, "Okay, just keep it up after we leave later." I said and they nodded.
I followed the gaze to go five to the living room, and the smile on my lips disappeared again and they stood up when they were there.
"They've been married for five years after you think about it? They have no children of one. " She said.
I opened the refrigerator and got a selecta fresh milk, I was just listening to what he was saying while putting milk in the glass.
Then I returned to the refrigerator and sat in front of her and drank the glass of milk.
"What are you doing here?" Baling nya sakin.
I lowered the glasses and shrugged, "Maybe they really are just hiding or not letting the media know." I said.
"Hmm yes no? But why are they hiding? "
I shrugged the next question because I didn't know why and I wasn't sure if there was something but maybe?
I stopped drinking when I remembered our last talk.
Five years, five years ago. In those five years, I obeyed what she said that even though I was pregnant I didn't tell her and she didn't need to know, now that she's married. I will never tell him. And when he gave me big money it was a great help to me, that's what I paid for the hospital and buried my mother and my birth.
Even AJ (April Joy Hernandez) doesn't know who the real father of my five children is. I just said that it was a long time dead and he didn't ask questions. I also heard nothing from my children about their father so I didn't even say it or even show it.
At night, I had arranged my belongings and put in a bag and suitcase. Next time I arranged the clothes and gear of the four, when I looked at Steve's use of it and it was in the suitcase that the four of them used to use.
When I finished, I went to the bathroom and took a half bath. I did not stay in the bathroom and also came out wearing skinny jeans, white silk chiffon long sleeve blouse that I half tucked and white classy high heels.
I looked in the mirror, I wear my minimalist water drop necklace. I also fixed my long wavy brown hair, half ponytail. I put red lipstick on my lips and powder on my face.
Then I looked at my small pearl tassel earrings and my small infinite anklet bracelet.
When satisfied, I took my watch and put on the room with three suitcases and a bag.
I saw five sitting in the living room, I was arranged early on.
I sent them to the bar counter first and there I sat them down. While waiting for AJ to get dressed, I mixed milk into five and drank them.
"Let's go." AJ said as he came out and brought his suitcase.
I nodded and lowered them when the milk I was drinking was exhausted.
Before we left, I chinecked the passport in my bag and left no one, we headed to the airport.
I watched the plane we were riding in and looked at Steve who was seriously looking there.
Not to say but they got the color of their father's eyes and Steve resembled him.
Terrence Steve; My eldest son who followed him Alvin Laurence; Larissa Quentin; Melissa Monique and Sharmaine Sultana.
Goodbye San Francisco, California and see you soon Philippines. I'm Charmaine Susana Salvatore, a pure Filipino.
Van Sebastian Conrad; A half German and half Italian with half Filipino blood. The CEO of a famous company; Conrad Enterprise and the man who got me pregnant and now, I am hiding his quintuplets as his punishment and for our peace of life.
After a year of staying in San Francisco, the plane in the Philippines was on the morning.
"Honey, wake up. We're here. " I woke up to Sharmaine who was sleeping on the trip, while the four, awake still as if the milk they had been drinking had never been over.
Cold air of the Philippines greeted us down the plane.
"Mommy, I'm still sleepy." Sharmaine said sleepy as we walked to the airport.
I put the bag on the shoulder and lifted Sharmaine, placing her chin on my shoulder as she hugged me on the neck. It wasn't so heavy that I used only one hand and with another hand I took a suitcase to pull.
AJ helped me next to me and he pulled my two more suitcases. I was ahead of the four.
After we scanned, we continued walking to the airport, and we were out with reporters entering.
Melissa almost stabbed the reporters behind us if Steve hadn't just grabbed her clothes.
I would have cheated on them in case the five were here so I let it go and went out, not looking at who they were going.
I carefully placed Sharmaine in AJ's BMW's back seat and took four of them there. Before I entered the front seat, I looked at the reporters coming out and looking at the exit. I didn't see who it was because I rode.
"Let's eat first." I nodded at what AJ said driving.
At Mcdo we went straight. Sharmaine woke up when we arrived, I went inside.
I didn't even have them when we started eating and I was just watching them.
"We were just leaving there last night but I was sorry." AJ asked that I laughed.
Last year, she invited me to go to San Francisco, I also went with her and found a job as a florist.
"You're back." I said, she was sucking so I laughed again.
"Next time, get tired."
I took the tissue and wiped the edge of Larissa's lip with a spaghetti sauce.
While eating spaghetti, my forehead twitched when he showed his cellphone screen.
"The couple Van and Celine, have we been together on the plane! Then they were the ones who were in trouble too! "
I was shocked to hear what he was saying, AJ and my five children wondered. I breathed a sigh of relief after I drank.
"Are you alright?" AJ asked, I nodded and bitten the burger big.
"Surprisingly, you suddenly say something, so I eat spaghetti so I sometimes get bored." I moaned while chewing.
He nodded and looked back at the cellphone, "Sorry, unfortunately I couldn't picture or I didn't even see it in person." He regrets saying.
I just smiled, didn't know what to say.
"You know, he's 28 years old but his body and 25 years old look!"
I smelled the water I was drinking, 28?!
"What are you doing?"
"Mommy, are you okay?" Larissa said worriedly.
I smile, just good water. I'm just going to bathe them here.
Pero 28?! If I count, my age was 18 then, 24 years old na sya non?! The h*ll? Why did I just find out now? Geez.
"I'm okay, AJ, eat it first. Surprisingly what you say. Later what else can you say that the kids can't hear. " I said, if he only knew who he was talking about in my life, he might be quiet or he might ask a question so I wasn't ready to tell him.
AJ laughed, "Hey, I'm not like you sometimes without a filter! I didn't even say that I wanted to say s*x or any gross word! "
I closed my eyes for AJ because he finally said that he was surprised at his own words and laughed.
"Mommy, what is s*x? Is that a number? "
"Yeah, mommy. I'm curious too. "
The two of them nodded and the four were looking at me.
"Uhm, y-yes but it has a different meaning like what your grandmother said and it's only for adults so finish your food first and when adults talk, don't get involved in the conversation because that is bad, understood?" I said, they nodded and smiled.
"Yes, mommy."
"When I'm an adult, can I find out?" Larissa asked, I hesitated to nod.
"Yehey! I can't wait to become adult! " I shrugged while AJ was holding back a laugh.
"Oh, we're dead there hahahaha! Look at Steve oh, not even asking questions. Maybe he knows that means non! Don't be your grandma mommy so enjoy your kid first hahahaha! "
I stabbed AJ with a tissue and stared at it, then turned to Steve with a wrinkled forehead as if AJ didn't know what to do.
"Don't mind what your grandmother said." I said to them and they nodded.
"You don't even have a filter, be quiet there." I said he was still laughing.
When it came to the condo, the five decided to draw on the white also near the door. They said goodbye and I agreed because it was a condo.
They say they will show how good they are to draw and color. Looks like I have a future painter here?
They were no longer dressed and started to release their small paint brushes and paint colors. I turned on the sofas and tables, as well as the tv plant next to the door I moved until it was loosened without interrupting.
I watched them help, Steve and Alvin were drawing while the three were coloring.
A few minutes later, I removed my white long sleeve blouse, I wore jeans, I also removed my skirt and approached them and joined the drawing.
AJ left earlier, we were just brought here because he was taking care of it now.
We spent time painting until it was late afternoon.
I fed them first before replacing them and then sleeping. I carefully lay Larissa's sleep on the bed I replaced with bed sheets and put her hair strands behind the ear and kissed her on the forehead.
After I had her clothes on the cabinet, I came out. Next time I went to Steve's room, I saw it arranging clothes in his cabinet so I approached.
"I'll finish it, go to sleep now, honey." I said, and he was watching.
"But mommy, you're tired." He said with a worried tone. I smiled and fix his messy hair.
"Mommy is not tired yet and mommy want you to sleep now because it's time for you to sleep. Won't you follow Mommy? " I have a sadness to say.
She sucked and kissed me on the cheek, "Of course, Mommy I will follow you." He promised, I smiled again.
I kissed her forehead, "Good boy, good night and sweet dreams, honey." I said.
"Good night too, Mom." She said she went to bed and had a blanket with her eyes closed.
I finished the repair of her belongings and quietly left the room. Next time I went to Alvin, I peeked into his room and was fast asleep and I was able to fix his belongings earlier. I slowly closed the door.
I mixed coffee and brought it to the living room, looking at what we had done in the ring while drinking, daisy flowers.
I turned to look at my leg and saw Sharmaine hugging me.
"Why is my baby still awake?" I asked, I sat down for her to hold my glass on the side.
"I can't sleep." he said.
"Hmm, do you want to send me milk?" I asked as he nodded so I took the glass and stood up.
I went to the kitchen while he was just following me, I laid my glasses on the bar counter, I took Sharmaine and sat down at the Tiffany Bar stool.
"What's that?" he asked and pointed to my glasses.
"Coffee and you can't drink it, you might not be able to sleep." I said before he said goodbye to me that he could drink.
"Mommy, I have a question." My eyebrows rose and he looked back, then turned to look at the glass and put in a warmth.
"Hmm?"
"Who is Ban Tibattian?"
I stopped mixing when he asked that.
I took a deep breath and put the glass I had.
"He is .. He is a CEO at one of the most popular companies here." And not your father ..
"Okayyy." she said.
I just smiled and blew the milk first, without being too hot. I gave her that she was slowly drinking.
"Tell me if it's done, mommy will just clean the living room." I nodded, he nodded, holding the glass with his two hands.
I returned the sofa, table, TV and plants to its usual place, and I held onto what we used. By the way, I went back to the kitchen and saw Sharmaine who had just dropped a glass on the table.
"I'm done." he said as I approached, I took the glass and put it in the sink and then returned to him and took him.
When he came into his room, I laid him down on the bed and told him.
"Good night, mommy."
I kissed her forehead and hugged her, "Good night too, sweetie."
I let the lamp on the table open - behind me as I brushed her hair.
I was thinking, would they be angry when they found out that the CEO of Conrad Company was their true father now with another wife? Will they be angry at me because I have kept it secret to them? Will they forgive me? I don't care if Van gets angry when I hid his son because he himself said that I would never show him again.
Hopefully our path to each other will not meet even though the Philippines is broad.
I went to the bathroom for a moment to take a shower and change clothes and go back.
I woke up with a lot of kissing my cheeks. When my eyes opened, my five children came to me.
"Good morning, mommy!" They congratulate.
I got up in bed, "Good morning, my babies." I said and one by one they kissed on the cheek, I laughed as they shrugged.
"Mommy, you haven't had a toothbrush yet." Larissa's joking sounds so I laughed softly.
"Why are you? Have you brushed your teeth? " I said, they nodded and one by one showed their teeth, except for Steve who was just on the side as we watched so I called him. It's just five years old and yet so quiet and serious.
"Yes, mommy! Kuya Steve and Kuya Alvin taught us how to brush our own teeth! " Melissa moaned as Steve approached me.
"Because I'm a good boy, right, mommy?" Alvin said, I nodded and smiled.
"Of course, you are." I said, I turned to Steve again, I smiled and nodded as he showed his teeth.
Once I saw Steve and Alvin spanning their bathroom in the bedroom, regardless of the height of the sink because they were on the small chair. But it is better to see them brushing them.
I got up so the four of them got out of bed, took my hair clamp and squeezed my hair. I couldn't work out because I woke up in the morning.
"Mommy is just a girl and a little bit." I nodded and went to the bathroom. I didn't take a long time and went out either.
After I cooked pancakes, bacon and ham I laid down on the table, and then I made their milk mixed with coffee.
We just had a quiet breakfast until I was the first to finish.
When it was over, I washed our food first while the five I got dressed because I promised yesterday that we were going to the mall today to go. Then, I went to the room to bathe and get dressed.
I'm wearing high waist denim mom short and square neck shirt croptop that I brought with white nike shoes.
I put my cellphone in the tote bag and the others. I just let my hair go long and went out when I was done getting ready.
I first got into the car and it was okay for me to enter the driver's seat and start driving.
I immediately asked them where they wanted to go when we were inside the mall.
"Toy section!" They said so I nodded.
In the toy section we went, they started looking at the toy while I was watching them.
I was surprised when Steve approached me with no, "Mommy, there are no guns here." he said.
I called the saleslady and asked where the toys for boys were here. He pointed to the direction and there I saw different types of guns, I saw Alvin there too.
"I want real guns, mommy." he still promised that I was listening. I don't know what saleslady's expression is because he said because Steve was looking at me and watching over him.
"Honey, real guns are only for adults who know how to use non and it's dangerous." I said, I turned to saleslady and thanked.
"You're welcome, Ma'am. Just call me if you need anything else. " I nodded at what he said so he left.
"I know, I thought I would see it here even though it was a toy section but I understand, maybe I'll just get a toy gun and practice."
"Bro, look at this big truck toy."
Alvin approached us with a toy truck. "Do you think my cockroach can fits here and can drive it?" he asked Steve.
"I don't know, maybe? Ask your pet and if he can speak, I'll let you enter my room and play with my toys. " Steve says seriously.
"Bro, cockroach can't speak." Alvin said in a matter of fact.
"Exactly, cockroach can't drive." Steve said, Alvin suffered.
"But what if they can drive and speak like they have powers?"
"Don't talk to me, Alvin."
Steve kissed me on the cheek and headed for Toys for Boys, leaving Alvin.
"Mommy, can't they really speak?" he said.
"Yes but is it true that you have a cockroach?" I asked, he nodded.
"Yes, mommy! I made him a jail. " She smiled, I shrugged and smiled, oh my gosh, I messed up her hair.
"Okay, is that what you want to buy?" I asked and pointed to her. He nodded so I got up and put the toy truck in the basket, and he went back to Steve's head.
