Chapter 61: Chapter 61

"We were best friends in high school."

"What the?? You can't be infected by him Alyana." I turned to John.

"Infected where?"

"In flirty." We both hit John.

"Call him flirty, your jaw is broken."

"Call me flirty, your jaw is broken."

"You really are best friends. Hey, Flyn do you know that you and Camille know each other?"

"No," he said before going inside.

"Let's go inside first so we can talk." I said pulling his hand inside the house.

"Just wondering why you are here at Stephen's house? Is John your boyfriend? Who did you sell you to? Was it John? That's very yuck!"

"Hey, you're thinking wrong, Stephen is Alyana's boyfriend and I'm not! Alyana is beautiful but she's not my type, sorry."

"That's why you're asking. Then Alyana isn't the type to think like you, kid!" John raised an eyebrow.

"So, what? Tell me a story, Alyana."

"Where should I start...?" Ask if you promise.

"What the hell, why did your sister say that you were sold?!"

"Uhm, what's wrong with mom..." I bowed my head because I was struggling with how to tell her about it. I honestly don't want to talk about it because I might cry, Camille is my friend but even so, I don't want to be emotional in front of her.

Even though it was a bit difficult, he could handle it if he told him everything.

"Hmm, your stepmom is really bad. It's a good thing your mom isn't as bad as my mom, because if she is, I'm going to run away! It's better to sleep on the street than to live with that kind of person, I can't even deal with someone like that!"

"Gosh, the non-plastic has spoken. You're so plastic they can throw you in the trashcan." John listening. do these two really hate each other? I remembered Camille's story back then that she hated a man because he thought of a child.

"You're thinking too much, kid, you're being mistaken for a madman, if only I could take you mentally!"

"Oh, come on! I'll take you with me." This promise mixed with annoyance while grinning.

Are they both okay? It's like they're about to kill each other because of their stares, oh, it's like there's electricity between these two and if I stop them I might just be electrocuted.

"Shut up John if you don't want a fight, do something with my baby or just be quiet!" I think this is referring to Flyn, see if Flyn just got bored and just continued to use his cell phone.

"By the way, how did you and Stephen become huh? Did he flirt with you?" He grinned madly at the end, as if he was excited about my answer.

He hesitated to answer and scratched his head. "No,"

"What? What's not? He didn't flirt with you?

"Flyn, does Stephen know how to flirt?" he asked his friend with a laugh, Flyn just grinned.

"He answered that Vanessa even though he didn't date her, after I like you and I like you too they started dating. What a man, right?"

Really? That's what happened?

"You three are just the same."

"Didn't Flyn date you too?" A little surprised at the question and he shook his head in response.

"How did you become like that?"

"Uhm, what is..."

It's like he's too shy to say it and you can see if his cheeks are starting to turn red. It's obvious that the worries are returning to his mind.

"Of course we started as friends and then when we both went out, we went to a theater and he kissed me." This story hit me on the shoulder.

"I'm so excited, Flyn just tripped you!" John laughed at the same time.

"It's just one, John, I'm going to hit your face with my fist."

I just laughed at the behavior of the two of them while I was glancing at Flyn, I saw that he glanced at Camille but he immediately changed the direction of his eyes when he noticed that I was looking at him.

I just laughed softly because of him, he's just so cute. Does he still like Camille? It's as hard to read as Stephen when I first saw him.

"What the... are kidding me? Hey John, you said Stephen was just Alyana's boyfriend, what do you call it? Shouldn't it be a fiancé, huh?" Camille took my hand and raised it, as if she noticed the singing.

"Stephen has already proposed to you Alyana? Do you have an exact date for your wedding??" Flyn and John asked excitedly.

"N-Next month," I answered shyly while scratching the back of my neck.

"Congrats Alyana, I thought I'd be the first to marry you..." At the same time he turned his gaze to Flyn who was sitting in front of us and next to John who was now munching on a mango...wait! That's mine!

"Please, John." I said to him seriously.

"Oops, sorry." He said but quickly swallowed the rest.

"Wow, John, I think you will eat mango seeds as well."

"Excuse me? I'm not eating votes Camille, I'm a man okay. Pussy--" Flyn immediately elbowed her. "Ouch! my passion is maniko Flyn, I'm not doing anything bad to you! I can't see you there, tsk!"

"It seems like what John said meant something else? Is there another meaning to the word bone Alyana?" This is a whispered question to me.

"Uhm, it's like what... the man's what. like p-penis--" I just covered my mouth.

"Oh, I get it now. You mean junior!" Suddenly he laughed.

"Huh? What junior?" I want to ask. I said penis, right? Why did he go to junior? The distance between the letter P and the letter J.

"Penis and junior are just the same Alyana, you're just going to get married and you don't know it yet." He said laughing at the same time.

"You don't even know what your vote is, then you want to get married first."

I laughed at that.

"These mouths are rude Flyn, let's beat their mouths with a plate what?"

"Just Camille, not Alyana. You probably still want to live tomorrow, John?"

"Hmm, yes, you're right! It's just Camille, come here Camille, we'll beat your mouth for a while."

"Shut up, I can beat you huh!"

"That's right what you don't want, don't hit John first, Camille. That's really how he thinks, kid, so just understand his behavior."

"Ouch, Alyana, you're so mean to me! I'm going to report you to my future wife!" he said with a frown and tormented me even more.

"As if you're going to have something, no woman likes a childish mind. What if you have children? That's not a problem because it looks like she already has two children, you'll just be a burden John so please stay single okay?"

"Stop me Flyn, I'm really going to choke on plastic here!" It's like Camille is really freaking out and Camille is just glaring at her.

I feel like I have many friends now, it's like we're bonding now and it's just fun. it's nice to have friends, especially those who treat you like real family.

"Alyana, tell me the story of how Stephen proposed, I wasn't really happy because he didn't flirt with you, but I hope he will take it back when he proposed, right?"

"So, when did he propose and how?" It added.

"Yesterday,"

"Then? How?" It's obvious that he's thinking because he wants to know everything.

"He put the ring on my finger and after that, he said we're getting married next month because that's what I want."

"T-Tang*na? What kind of proposal is that? I guess he's not enough to eat! When I see that guy I'll break the bones in his body!"

"Really bones? Gosh, you don't want to use the word bone."

"Because I know that you will react again when I say that, you really are dirty minded! You're just s*x, you don't have a love life!"

"Ehem! I'm ashamed of having a love life!" When they both listen.

"Hey, Camille, do you know Vanessa is here now?" When he changes the topic.

"Ah, that flirtatious ex-girlfriend of Stephen, why is that girl here? do you mean here at his house now? Really like it??!"

John nodded.

"She did bring a child, then said Stephen was the father."

How fast do they say hello? It seems like it only took a few seconds for them to yell at each other.

"Pfft, really crazy! Don't worry, Alyana, that girl is just lying." Then she leaned my head on her shoulder.

"Wait Alyana, where is that bitchy bitch? I don't think I saw her today."

"Who bitchy bitch?" I wondered, I just heard that kind of name.

"Please help me put this diaper on Effren."

"Oh, bitchy bitch is just there."

"I'll go first." Flyn immediately said goodbye.

"Oyy, are you leaving? Ah, I'll see you tomorrow!" Camille promised.

"Just a moment Alyana, I just have something to say to Flyn for a moment." He ran outside so he could catch Flyn.

"Alyana, I'll go first, you already know that I texted you." I just laughed softly because I immediately got what he wanted to say.

"Who was that girl earlier?" I didn't realize that Vanessa was already here by my side.

"Are you asking me?"

"Who else? Is there anyone else here--"

"Alyana-- oh! Hello Vanessa, long time no see. I miss you, do you know that?" see if Vanessa's eyes widen when she sees Camille.

"W-What are you doing here?!"

"Why should I tell you? Are we close duh!" Camille is a bit stubborn when she doesn't like the person she's talking to or if she doesn't really know him yet, that's how she was when I first talked to her.

"Still the same huh, nothing really changed."

"It's you too, you haven't changed. Still flirtatious and liar as always."

"Are you saying something?!" I looked back and forth at the two of them, they were standing by my side and they still had their arms crossed, I even leaned over while sitting to look at them better... because my neck was getting stiff when I didn't lean back sitting down.

"Not only are you flirty, you're also deaf."

"Raise your voice so I can hear what you're telling me!" If this Vanessa can scream when you're at her house then everyone here is deaf.

I think I'm getting dizzy with both of them, I'm confused as to who I should look at.

"Get out of here!" He pointed to the door, well if the two of them fight it's fine with me but don't let him leave Camille!

It was even nice to see them answer, I hung up.

"Hey! You have no right to send my friend Vanessa away." I cried, he looked at me annoyed.

"Wow, how do you feel Alyana, it looks like you just met and then he became friends right away?"

"Haven't you been informed? Alyana has been my best friend for a long time...well, yes, it's just flirting because you're bothering me." He turned his gaze to Camille again.

"What did you say, you are not flirtatious." He emphasized and Vanessa grinned.

"Am I flirty? know my whole story first before you judge and then don't say that I know your story too because in truth I know it very well." What does Camille mean that she knows Vanessa's story.

"Shut up! You know nothing!" What time will Camille fix Vanessa?

"Oh, I remember! I talked to your sister and she was crying. Ahm, she said that her child has been missing for 3 days. I feel sorry for her, who is the person who saw the child? You know the feeling I don't think the child is missing because someone just took him."

Their topic is making me sleepy, I don't understand them, I just noticed that Vanessa's hand was shaking. Maybe because of anger, it might be shaking.

"Uhm, they mentioned to me that you already have a child? Then Stephen is the father? Wow, is that really true Vanessa? look at the boy--"

"NOT ALLOWED!!"

"Woah, relax, I just want to see, why do you seem afraid of me seeing the child, huh? I'm just curious, is your son a boy? How old is he?"

How did he know that Vanessa's son is a boy?

I don't know, I wanted to listen but I didn't realize that I fell asleep and I just felt someone wake me up, I heard Stephen's voice calling my name so slowly I opened my eyes.

"Hmm...? Stephen, you're here." I rubbed my eyes and looked around.

"Where's Camille?" Wait, maybe it wasn't a dream that Camille and I met earlier, right?

"He came home a while ago." I smiled because it wasn't really a dream.

"Do you and Camille know each other?" he asked and I nodded.

"He was my best friend in high school, I was surprised because we met again here. Then I was even more surprised that he was probably Flyn's ex."

"Next time don't get too close to Camille." He said so suddenly that I frowned.

"Never mind, just forget it."

"Why did you sleep here? There is a room." I scratched my head and looked around.

"I really can't help it, I'm so sleepy. Also, I don't want Camille and Vanessa to leave them here while they are arguing, I want to listen to them fight." He laughed suddenly but it disappeared immediately.

"Wait..." He looked at my back, face, legs or something else.

"You are not hurt." I heard his sigh.

"Huh?"

"I was just worried that Vanessa might have done something to you while you were sleeping." I smiled at him. "Nothing hurts me."

"Let's eat." Heard what Manang Daley called.

eat?

"What time is it Stephen?"

"7:32 pm." My eyes are wide, how many hours did I sleep? It's too bad that I didn't listen to everything that Camille and Vanessa talked about, so I can just ask Camille a question.

***

A few days passed and now we are sitting on the sofa. We are waiting for Stephen to come home today because we will know what the results of the DNA test are.

Stephen's family is all here, Madam Nessy, John and Flyn are also here along with John, his younger brother and he is currently playing with Nash.

I don't know why but they all sided with me, John and Flyn were just standing behind me. Vanessa was the only one sitting in front of us with the child Effren.

"Stephen," I said his name when he arrived. He stood by our side and took the paper inside, he looked at it first before placing it on the small table.

I looked at him, I want to know his reaction before I look at the result. "Alyana..." He grabbed my hand and made me stand up, he hugged me tightly. "I'm sorry..."

I was surprised that he suddenly apologized. "W-Why? What's on it?"

"Y-that boy is my son."

My breathing seemed to stop for a moment at what I heard. "A-He's your son?"

I looked at Tita Stella who was holding the paper and I saw her eyes widen and she dropped the paper.

It seems to be true, the positive result is that Effren is indeed Stephen's son.

"Oh my god! This is not true, I can't believe that that boy is Stephen's son! Look at his face kid, he doesn't look like my son!!"

I looked at the boy and I looked at them both back and forth...my forehead was wrinkled because they really don't look alike and Vanessa and that boy don't look like him either.

"Can't he just inherit from me?" He said and grinned, didn't you two look alike when you were a child?!

Did he do something? Did he do something? Is the child really his son? If that's not his son, then whose??
