A true friend never leaves

Our boybestfriends are here too, they can be the father of your child. Don't stress yourself out, it's bad for the baby." She put my head on her shoulder.

"Beh, we're here, let's go." She helped me get out of the car while Devi was behind carrying my suitcase.

She immediately made me sit on the bed after we got inside the unit.

"You can stay here as long as you want, I don't use this anyway, I have another condominium. I'll just bring groceries tomorrow."

She hugged me. "Thank you, beh, thank you."

"I'll tell Devina about this so she can help and we can visit you and our godchild." I nodded.

Devi handed Vivian chicken and spaghetti that had just arrived, they had it delivered. "Here, eat first and then sleep, you can't stay up late." I only ate a little because I wasn't in the mood for anything that happened today.

"We're leaving now, call me if you need anything." I nodded. "Be careful." After they got out of my room, I immediately lay down and cried.

I'm pregnant and I need him, we need him, but he also left us.

The pain of this, especially today, is terrible. I hope we can handle all of this without him.

After 5 Years

Yes, after what happened, I slowly started to recover. I was struggling back then. Now, I'm happy with my son and my friend who always stayed by my side, helped me, and strengthened me every day.

"Mama, wake up!" My 5 years old son, Argus Azi Madregal-Celebastero, shouted. I didn't reveal my son's last name because it's famous. I was afraid the Celebastero family would find out and take him away. That's why I use Madregal as his last name. Only my friend knows that his real last name is Celebastero.

Even though they hurt me, I wouldn't deny their surname. My son is so much like Knight, especially his dimples. You can't deny that he's his son at first glance. His hair is like Knight's, and his eyes are like dolls, with long eyelashes, both top and bottom. His eyes are pitch black, but when they're exposed to light or the sun, they turn brown, which is truly captivating.

When my son woke me up, I immediately took a bath because I was going out to look for a job. I felt ashamed because my friends have been supporting us for years. It's time for me to support my son and myself.

I wore a business attire and paired it with black shoes that were 2 inches high, which suited me.

"Mama, you're so pretty." Argus said while hugging my legs.

"Of course, where did my baby get that from? Of course, from ma—Papa, they said, Tita!" My son interrupted me, making me pause for a moment.

When I came to my senses, I knelt down to his level. "Who said that to you? When did they say that to you? Tell me." I was calming myself down with every word, afraid that my son might get scared if I raised my voice.

"Tita Vivian, she said that while I was playing with her son. They both told me that my father looks like me, just a kid version of me." He said playfully.

Our boybestfriends are here too, they can be the father of your child. Don't stress yourself out, it's bad for the baby." She put my head on her shoulder.

"Beh, we're here, let's go." She helped me get out of the car while Devi was behind carrying my suitcase.

After 5 Years

Yes, after what happened, I slowly started to recover. I was struggling back then. Now, I'm happy with my son and my friend who always stayed by my side, helped me, and strengthened me every day.

"Mama, wake up!" My 5 years old son, Argus Azi Madregal-Celebastero, shouted. I didn't reveal my son's last name because it's famous. I was afraid the Celebastero family would find out and take him away. That's why I use Madregal as his last name. Only my friend knows that his real last name is Celebastero.

"Tita Vivian, she said that while I was playing with her son. They both told me that my father looks like me, just a kid version of me." He said playfully.

"You'll have to deal with your aunts and uncles, I told them not to tell them about that guy." I muttered, picking him up. He had just finished putting on his black Nike shoes. I forgot to mention he likes black, especially for clothes, like his father, his clothes are mostly black, if there are any white ones, they are just polos and tuxedos, otherwise, it's all black.

"Where are we going po?" He asked when we got into the car that Dad gave me. He thought I sold it, but it was just hidden in Vivian's garage for a few years, I took it out when I gave birth.

"To your aunt's, I'll leave you there, Mommy will look for work first so we can buy your toys, do you want that?" I said happily and reversed the car.

"Yes, mama, I want many a lots of toys, like a car that's not remote-controlled!" He clapped his hands.

I frowned because he couldn't stop speaking English even when we were speaking Tagalog. This is all that man's fault! He's so English-speaking, especially when we were fighting before. My son inherited it, so now I get headaches. I studied, but gosh, I'm not good at English.

"Mama, I love you so much. Thank you for caring for me since I was a baby. And now you gave me what I want, so I give you many a lots of kisses." He suddenly hugged me around the neck and sat on my lap, so I stopped the engine.

He started kissing my whole face, I was so happy I didn't know what to do. "Mwahhh, mwahhh...." He kissed my cheeks loudly.

"I love you, Mama. Promise Mama, if someone is angry at you, tell me so we won't be friends with them, we don't like them, we don't want them!" He was a little grumpy now, but he was pouting.

I pinched the tip of his nose. "Why don't you like people who are angry at me, hmmm?" I asked softly.

"Because Mama, I'm angry at people who are angry at you. I don't like them, they're bad. You're so kind, Mama, why would they be angry, right?!" He shouted while frowning.

"I said, we don't like them." I sat him down in the passenger seat and buckled him up. "Let's go, or I won't find a job, you won't have any toys." I threatened.

"Mama." He said pouting.

"Just kidding, let's go." I immediately reversed my car and drove it all the way to Vivian's house. They already have their own house, Vivian had it fixed up when she was still pregnant.

While we were on the way, I noticed he wasn't feeling well, even since a while back, but I just ignored it, maybe he was moody.

"Mama, can you please stop the car." He ordered, so I looked at him.

"Why?" I asked, stopping the car on the side.

"I feel dizzy and I've been cold since a while back." I immediately placed my hand on his forehead, but he wasn't hot, maybe it was inside his body.

"Why did you tell me now? Are you okay? What else hurts?" I asked one after another while trying to calm myself down.

"I'm okay, Mama, so don't worry about me, it just hurts my throat and I'm cold." He hugged me, so I got his bag from the backseat and took his black jacket and immediately put it on him because he was shivering.

"You're not hot but you're cold and your throat hurts. Maybe it's inside your body. When we get home, I'll take you to the doctor." Tears were starting to come to my eyes because I didn't know what to do, he had a fever a few times but this was the first time he got sick like this. He had a fever inside his body.

"Beh, can you please watch my son, he has a fever." I immediately kissed my son on the forehead.

"What happened? Why did he have a fever?" I gave Argus to Vivian, so she hugged him tightly.

"I'm going out to look for a job, I'm so embarrassed, you've been supporting me and my son for years."

"Oh no, don't stop, it's your decision, especially now that your son is studying." Vivian was rocking my son to sleep.

"Later, talk to him if he can go to kindergarten, if he doesn't want to, or if he can't, don't make him go, he'll only be absent once." She nodded continuously.

"Go ahead, leave now so you can go home early and watch over your son." She patted me. "Calm down, I'm here, I'll watch over my godchild, if you keep acting like that, you won't be able to find a job." She calmed me down.

"I want to take care of him, but there are a lot of hiring today."

"Go ahead, you idiot! I'll take care of this cute baby Argus." I suddenly remembered what my son said.

"Hey... we're not done yet, we have to talk!" She immediately understood what I was saying, so she immediately turned around.

"I don't know anything, Devi told me that!" She yelled and immediately sat on the sofa.

"Later, you're lucky I'm in a hurry!" I closed the door to their house and hailed a taxi. I didn't bring my car, they might think I'm well-off and I might not get accepted, and I don't know where to park it.

"Kuya, go to Ayala Avenue." He immediately drove the taxi, so I just looked out the window.

There were so many beautiful buildings and scenery.

My eyes widened when we passed a beautiful plaza with children running and playing in the playground. It looks like a nice place to go, Argus would love it when he gets to go there.

I sat up straight when I remembered Argus. I have to find a job right away so I can go home early.

"Ma'am, we're here." I stopped thinking, I looked around and yes, we're here, I didn't notice.

I looked at the front, I saw how much I had to pay, 160, so I took my wallet from my bag and paid 200 pesos. "Keep the change po." I said smiling.

"Thank you po ma'am." Kuya driver said before I got out of the taxi.

I immediately entered a beautiful building with a hiring sign, so I smiled
