Tears Of Revelation

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 was reading a magazine that Aj put on the bar counter while I was drinking water.

Van in a suit and the woman holding him by the waist are featured in the magazine.

"Old magazines?" I asked when he took it again and put it in the trashbin.

He looked at me, then nodded. "Yes, this is the new one." he said and showed me another magazine he was holding. The first time I read Conrad's feature, I immediately shook my head and put the glass on the table when he was about to give me the magazine.

I just turned to look at my three cute little girls, they ran towards me. Larissa bumped into my leg when she was the first to approach me, she pulled back and came back hugging my leg. The two followed.

"Mommy! Oh look."

Larissa raised her hand holding a band paper so I took it and looked at it.

A woman with long wavy brown hair and with a flower in her right ear drawing.

"Mommy, look at it!" I heard Melissa say that Sharmaine also has a band paper.

I smiled, compared them and took the band paper of the two with the same drawing but the color of the flower in the ear was different.

"Who is this beautiful girl?" I asked with a smile, I was surprised when they pointed at me.

"It's you, mommy!" I laughed softly when they said that at the same time.

"Really? How sweet." I said and hugged them.

"No way, we drew that so we should have a hug too."

I looked at my two eldest boys who immediately came to me and hugged me, I chuckled and hugged them back.

"You two drew this?" I asked when they let go of the hug. The two nodded then smiled so I looked at the drawing again in amazement.

"Mommy! We colored it!" my girls said.

"Yes, honey, thank you, I appreciate it."

The five smiled widely and kissed me on the cheek one by one.

"Mommy has saliva on her cheeks." I snorted. I laughed softly as they wiped their lips with their palm and left, while the other two came closer to me and touched my cheek.

"Here, Mommy!" I heard and saw him come back with tissues.

I closed my eyes as they wiped my cheeks together and Steve stopped talking.

"Mommy is joking."

The three were already snoring 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 said so I looked at him, frowning when he was 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 about to speak but Aj preceded me.

"Van Sebastian Conrad and his wife Celine Perez."

The smile on my lips disappeared when I heard that.

"Mommy?"

I tried to smile, "Okay, just put it away later because we're leaving later." I said and they nodded.

I followed the five going to the living room, the smile on my lips disappeared again and stood up when they were there.

"They've been married for five years and you think that? They don't have any children yet." She said.

I opened the fridge and got selecta fresh milk, I just listened to what he was saying while putting milk in the glass.

Then I returned the selecta to the fridge and sat in front of it then drank the glass full of milk.

"What do you say here?" turn it to me.

I put down the glass and shrugged my shoulders, "Maybe they really have it and just hide it or don't let the media know." I said.

"Hmm, yes, right? But why are they hiding it?"

I just shrugged my shoulders at his next question because I don't know why and I'm not sure if there really is but maybe there is?

I stopped drinking when I remembered our last talk.

Five years, five years ago. In those five years, I followed what he said that even though I was pregnant, I didn't let him know and he didn't need to know, now that he's married. I will never tell him. And with the large amount of money he gave, it was a great help to me, that's what I paid for the hospital and for my mother's burial and for my childbirth.

Even Aj (April joy Hernandez) does not know who the real father of my five children is. I just said that he had been dead for a long time and he didn't feel compelled to ask. I also don't hear anything from my children about their father so I didn't say anything or even show him what he looks like.

In the evening, I arranged my things and put them in the bag and suitcase. Next, I arranged the clothes and belongings of the four, when I looked at Steve's belongings, they were in order and in the suitcase, so I only took care of the belongings of the four.

After finishing, I entered the bathroom and took a half bath. I didn't stay long 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 face the mirror, I wear my minimalist water drop necklace. I also fixed my long wavy brown hair, I did a 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.

Satisfied, I took my watch and put it on then left the room with three suitcases and a bag.

I saw the five sitting in the living room, I arranged them early earlier.

I sent them to the bar counter first and made them sit there. While waiting for Aj to get dressed, I mixed milk for the five and asked them to drink it.

"Let's go." Aj said after coming out and carrying his suitcase.

I nodded and sent them down when the milk I drank was gone.

Before we left, I checked the passport that was in my bag and without leaving anything, we left for the airport.

I watched the rise of the plane we were on and turned to Steve who was also looking at it seriously.

Needless to say, they got the color of their father's eyes and Steve looked like 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 peac

After staying in San Francisco for a year, the plane landed in the Philippines this morning.

"Honey, wake up. We're here now." I woke up Sharmaine who had fallen asleep on the trip, while the four were still awake as if the milk they drank earlier didn't work.

The cold air of the Philippines greeted us when we got off the plane.

"Mommy, I'm still sleepy." Sharmaine said sleepily as we walked into the airport.

I put the bag on my shoulder and lifted Sharmaine, she put her chin on my shoulder while hugging me around the neck. He was not that heavy so I only used one hand and with the other hand I took a suitcase to pull.

Aj who was next to me helped me and he pulled my other two suitcases. Four are ahead of me.

After we were scanned, we continued walking through the airport, we were about to leave when some reporters entered.

Melissa almost got swept away by the reporters who were running behind us if Steve didn't touch her clothes.

I would have scolded them because there were five of them, so I just let them go and went out without looking at who they went to.

I carefully put Sharmaine in the back seat of Aj's BMW and let the four ride there. Before I got into the front seat, I looked at the reporters coming out and looking at the exit. I didn't see who it was because I was already riding.

"Let's eat first." I nodded to what Aj said who was driving.

We went straight to Mcdo. Sharmaine had already woken up when we arrived, I let them go inside first.

I didn't even follow them when we started eating and I just watched them take a bite.

"We just left there last night but I miss it immediately." Aj's manner made me laugh.

Last year, she invited me to go to San Francisco, I went along and found a job as a florist there.

"Go back there." I said, he snorted so I laughed again.

"Next time, tired of traveling."

I took the tissue and wiped the side of Larissa's lips with spaghetti sauce.

While eating spaghetti, I frowned when he showed me his cellphone screen.

"The couple Van and Celine, we were together earlier when the plane landed! After all, they were also the ones who caused the confusion earlier!"

I was shocked when I heard what he said, Aj and my five children looked at me in surprise. I breathed a sigh of relief after drinking.

"Are you alright?" Aj asked, I nodded and took a big bite of the burger.

"It's surprising because you suddenly spoke, besides I eat spaghetti so sometimes I vomit." my excuse while chewing.

He nodded and looked back at the cell phone, "Sorry, Too bad I didn't take a picture or I didn't even see it in person." he said regretfully.

I just smiled, not knowing what to say.

"Did you know, he is 28 years old but his body and looks are 25 years old!"

I threw up the water I was drinking, 28?!

"What's wrong with you?"

"Mommy, are you okay?" Larissa said with concern.

I smiled, good just a little water. I'm going to bathe them here.

But 28?! If you count, my age was 18 then, he is 24 years old right?! The h*ll? Why did I just find out now? Geez.

"I'm okay, Aj, eat first. What you say is surprising. Later, what else can you say that cannot be heard by the children." I said, if only he knew who the man he mentioned in my life was, he might keep quiet or he might ask more questions, so I'm not ready to tell him yet.

Aj laughed, "Hey, I'm not like you sometimes without a filter! Besides, I didn't say anything that I wanted to have sex or any obscene words!"

I widened my eyes at Aj because the last thing he said made him surprised by what he said and laughed.

"Mommy, What is s*x? is that a number?"

"Yeah, Mom. I'm curious too."

The two are talking and the four are looking at me curiously.

"Uhm, y-yes but it has a different meaning like what your grandmother said and it's only for adults so just finish your food first and when the adults are talking, don't join 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 nodded hesitantly.

"Hey! I can't wait to become an adult!" I winced while Aj held back his laughter.

"Oh, we're dead there hahahaha! Look at Steve, he didn't even ask a question. Maybe you already know what that means! You don't want to be a grandma mommy yet, so enjoy being a child first hahahaha!"

I threw a tissue at Aj and glared at him, then turned to Steve who was frowning like he didn't know what Aj was talking about.

"Don't mind what your godmother said." I said to them and they nodded.

"You don't even have a filter, shut up there." I said making him laugh.

When they arrived at the condo, the five thought of drawing on the white ding ding near the door. They said goodbye to me and I agreed because this condo is now mine.

They said they will show how good they are at drawing and coloring. Looks like I have a future painter here?

They stopped dressing up and started taking out their small paint brushes and paint colors. I moved the sofas and tables, as well as the TV and the plant next to the door until it was free and there was nothing blocking it.

I watched them help, Steve and Alvin were drawing while the three were coloring what they were drawing.

A few minutes passed, I took off the white long sleeve blouse I was wearing, I was wearing a tube and jeans, I also took off my sandal and approached them then joined in the drawing.

Aj left earlier, he only brought us here because he has something to attend to today.

We spent the time painting until late afternoon.

I fed them first before changing their clothes and then put them to sleep. I carefully laid Larissa down on the bed that I changed into bed sheets and placed a strand of her hair behind her ear then kissed her on the forehead.

After I arranged her clothes in the cabinet, I went out. Next I went to Steve's room, I saw him arranging clothes in his cabinet so I came closer.

"I'll finish it, Go to sleep now, honey." I said, and looked at him.

"But mommy, you're tired." he said with a worried tone. I smiled and fixed his messy hair.

"Mommy is not tired yet and mommy wants you to sleep now because it's time for you to sleep. Won't you obey mommy?" I said with sadness.

He snorted and kissed me on the cheek, "Of course, Mommy I will follow you." He said softly, I smiled again.

I kissed his forehead, "Good boy, good night and sweet dreams, honey." I said.

"Good night too, Mom." he said, he went to the bed and covered himself while closing his eyes.

I finished arranging his things and quietly left the room. Next, I went to Alvin, I peeked into his room and when he was sleeping soundly, I also fixed his things earlier. I slowly closed the door.

I made coffee and brought it to the living room, I looked at what we did in the ding ding while drinking, Daisy flowers.

I looked at my leg and saw Sharmaine hugging me.

"Why is my baby still awake?" I asked, I sat down to match him and put the glass I was holding to the side.

"I can't sleep." he said with a snort.

"Hmm, do you want me to season you with milk?" I asked and he nodded so I took the glass and stood up.

I went to the kitchen while she was just following me, I put my glass on the bar counter, I picked up Sharmaine and made her sit on the tiffany bar stool.

"What's that?" he asked and pointed to my glass.

"Coffee and you can't drink that, you might not be able to sleep." I said directly before he said goodbye to me that I can have a drink.

"Mommy, I have a question." I raised my eyebrows and looked at him for a moment, then looked back at the glass and poured a little hot water.

"Hmm?"

"Who is Ban Tibattiyan?"

I stopped mixing when he asked that.

I sighed and put the glass I prepared in front of him.

"He is.. he is the CEO of one of the famous companies here." and he's your father..

"It's okay." she said.

I just smiled and blew on the milk first, before it was too hot. I gave it to him and he drank it little by little.

"Just tell me when it's over, mommy will just clean the living room." I said, he nodded, holding the glass with both his hands.

I returned the sofa, table, tv and plants to their original place, I put away the things we used. When it was done, I returned to the kitchen and saw Sharmaine who had just placed a glass on the table.

"I'm done." he said when I approached, I took the glass and put it in the sink then returned to him and picked him up.

When I entered his room, I laid him on the bed and told him.

"Good night, mommy."

I kissed her forehead and scratched her, "Good night too, sweetie."

I left the lamp on the table-behind me-while I stroked her hair.

I thought, will they be angry with me when they find out that the CEO of the Conrad Company is their real father who now has another husband? Will they be angry with me because I kept it a secret from them? Will they forgive me? I don't care if Van gets angry because I hid his daughter from him because he himself said that I won't show him anymore.

I hope our paths will not cross each other even though the Philippines is wide.

I went to the bathroom for a while to wash and change my clothes and came back later.

I woke up with many people kissing my cheek. When I opened my eyes, my five children appeared to me.

"Good morning, Mommy!" they greeted

I got up from lying down, "Good morning, my babies." I said and kissed them on the cheek one by one, I just laughed when they winced.

"Mommy, you haven't brushed your teeth yet." Larissa's snotty manner made me laugh weakly.

"Why you? Have you brushed your teeth?" I said, they nodded and showed me their teeth one by one, except for Steve who was quietly on the side watching us so I called him. He's just five years old and yet so quiet and serious.

"Yes, Mom! Brother Steve and brother Alvin taught us how to brush our own teeth!" Melissa said when 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 when he showed me his teeth.

I once saw Steve and Alvin spontaneously brushing their teeth in their bedroom bathroom, regardless of the height of the sink because they were standing on a small chair. But it's better for me to see them brush their teeth.

I got up so the four of them got off the bed, I took my hair clamp and stuck it in my hair. I was not able to work out because I woke up in the morning.

"Just take a shower and wash mommy." I said and went to the bathroom. I didn't last long and went out.

After I cooked the pancakes, bacon and ham, I put them on the table, the next thing I did was mix their milk, mine had coffee.

We had breakfast in silence until I finished first.

When it was over, I washed the food we ate while I got the five of them dressed because I promised yesterday that we would go to the mall today for a walk. Then, I went to the room to take a shower and get dressed.

I'm wearing high waist denim mom short and square neck shirt croptop that I paired with white nike shoes.

I put my cellphone in the tote bag and the others. I just let my hair down and went out when I was done fixing it.

I let them get in the car first and when it was okay, I got into the driver's seat and started talking.

I immediately asked them where they wanted to go when we were inside the mall.

"Toy section!" they said so I nodded.

We went to the toy section, they started looking at the toys while I watched them.

I was surprised when Steve approached me with nothing, "Mommy, There are no guns here." he said with a snort.

I called the saleslady and asked where the toys for boys were. He pointed in the direction and there I saw different types of toy guns, I also saw Alvin there.

"I want real guns, mommy." he said as I turned around. I don't know what the saleslady's expression was when she said it because I was looking at Steve and looking at him.

"Honey, real guns are only for adults who know how to use non and it's dangerous." I said, I turned to the saleslady and thanked her.

"You're welcome, ma'am. Just call me if you need anything else." I nodded to what he said so he left.

"I know, I thought I'd see that here even though it's in the toy section, but I understand, maybe I'll just get a toy gun and practice."

"Bro, look at this big truck toy."

Alvin came to us with a toy truck. "Do you think my cockroach can fit 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 said seriously.

"Bro, cockroach can't speak." Alvin said in a matter of fact.

"Exactly, cockroaches can't drive." As Steve said, Alvin looked up.

"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 to the toys for boys, leaving Alvin behind.

"Mommy, can't they really talk?" he said with a snort.

"Yes, but is it true that you have a pet cockroach?" I asked, he nodded.

"Yes, Mom! I made him a prison." he said smiling, I winced and smiled too, oh my gosh, I messed up his hair.

"Okay, is that what you want to buy?" I asked and pointed to what he was holding. He nodded so I stood up and put the toy truck in the basket, he went back to where Steve went.
