Ferris Wheel

Percy reveals the truth to Keifer, 'Oh God, how the hell I don't even know that I.. I have a daughter', Keifer was sobbing, 'I'm so unlucky that I didn't even know her existence all this time', he said while pulling his hair. Percy consoled him, 'I promised her not to tell anyone, but I think you deserved to know the truth'.

Keifer looked at him, 'deserve? isn't it my right to know, I kept searching for her everywhere and years later I got to know she's raising our kid, how cruel our fate can be', he gathered himself, exhaled deeply, 'but I've so many questions, most importantly how Jay's been up to these years, why is she hiding CT, I want to know everything', he said. 'She's raising CT under the shadows, actually what happened, when... ', Percy said.

Keifer cuts him, 'no it's about me, Jay and our daughter, I want to hear that all from her only', he said, 'don't let her know that you told me'. Percy nods, 'Keifer, I'm trusting you, though Jay has created her new life, she's happy & we are all here for her but I know she still needs you', he said. 

Keifer said, 'the way I need her, you know I've everything in my life, except love, and in the end of the day I only want that, it's been four years, it never dimmed my Love for her, I don't know why, but my heart never gave up on her'.

'I thought what if it's just me who's standing but now, behind me she's always there, this time I won't let her go, and it's fine if I've to restart everything, I'll, and now I've one more reason to go', Keifer said, his eyes were sparkling with hope, 'I can't believe that kiddo is really mine, my Tiana, the string which will always keep us together', he said while his eyes still moist.

Keifer drives towards Happy Home, he takes Jay and brings her inside, Sebi opens up the door, 'what's wrong with her?', she asked worriedly, 'Nothing, let him in', Percy said. Keifer places Jay on her bed, covers her in a blanket and kisses her forehead.

Keifer moved towards CT who was sleeping, he sits beside her, caressed her hairs, 'my princess, my girl, my Tiana, my caretaker', a tear passed through his eyes, 'how can I be this unlucky to miss four years of your life, but I want to make it up for all those moments we missed', he said.

CT changed her side while sleeping, and kept her tiny hands on Keifer, he can't help but just adored her, 'I'm a father, literally a father', he chuckled, 'though I've little brothers whom I raised but now it's a daughter, my own, a part of mine and Jay, I will give her every happiness', he said.

Keifer lies beside Jay, 'last time when we met, you're carrying my baby, and I didn't even know that', he thought, 'just if we got to know about this that time, our life would've been different', he exhaled deeply.

Keifer looked at Jay, 'but how and when did this happen, maybe on our mountain date, when she's drunk like this only and she kept pushing me, I resisted but apparently we went out of control that night', he said and sleeps by cuddling her.

The next morning when Jay got up, she found herself in her room, 'when did I came back home', she gasped, she saw a hand holding glass of lemonade in front of her, she looked at the one holding it with sleepy eyes, 'Keifer, no I'm still in sleep', she said, 'it'll relax your brain', Keifer said while giving it to her and left.

Jay consumed the lemonade, went to the washroom, washed her face, and heard the kids were cheering and playing, when she came outside, she saw Keifer was busy with those, two on his lap and CT on shoulder, Keifer looked at her, 'Good Morning', he greeted her. 'You're here for real', she yelled.

Keifer looked at her, 'may be yes', he said, 'Jay, that's not good manners, you'd greet him well', CT said, Keifer smirked, 'What are you doing here', Jay asked, 'Can't you see, I'm playing', he replied.

Jay turned to Sebi, 'why did you let him in?', Sebi was about to say but Keifer interrupted, 'I'm your new neighbor, I just bought the apartment across from your home', Jay squeezed her eyes, 'so that I can see these kids more often', he said. 'There is no need for you to see my kids', she frowned.

'If all three are yours, it means they're all mine, I love to play with them ', Keifer said, 'I've eight more, will you play with them also', Jay sarcastically said, 'Ofcourse, and it's eleven, I didn't know we've already made a cricket team in one go, so talented of us Jay', he said while controlling his laugh. Jay clenched her jaws, 'you...'.

Keifer turned to the kids, 'want to go to the amusement park, I've got you guys the ticket', the kids got excited, 'yeahh', 'no one is going', Jay said, 'but Jay', CT pulled a long face. 'Can you please keep everything aside and just for their happiness?' Keifer picked CT, 'for her, can't we', he asked her.

Jay looked deep into his eyes, 'what does he want to say?', she thought, 'I'm not joking, I know you've been connected to an orphanage, I would like to take them as well, please Jay', Keifer said. Jay agreed, making all the kids happy, CT was giggling and dancing in Keifer's arms, she unknowingly adored the bond and smiled.

They all arrived at amusement park, CT was not leaving Keifer , Jay tried a lot, it's first time she's more into someone else than her friends, 'how I'm supposed to break the natural bond, am I doing something wrong, or the same thing my mother did to me, taking away my father's love, my CT deserves it but...', Jay was in her thoughts.

Keifer tapped Jay's shoulder, 'let's go', he held her hand and they moved towards kid's section, the kids were enjoying, taken care by janitors, Keifer stands beside her, 'you're such a good aunt', he said, Jay looked at him, 'CT is Percy's daughter but the way you look after her is amazing' he said. 

'By the way why she do not live with Percy instead here', Keifer asked, 'actually Kuya is a model and busy, and always surrounded with media, just to keep her away from it, and I took care of her', she said, 'let me see, until when you're going to lie', he thought.

When they reach near a gunshot game, Keifer promised CT to get her a toy, but he failed, 'ahh, the gun was not good', he made the excuse, Jay laughed, 'sore looser' CT consoled him, 'he's right, see gun has fault', 'so you already defending your pa...' she stopped, Keifer looked at her, 'let's go there, come on', she tried to distract him.

CT fell down while playing, they immediately rushed, Keifer scooping her up, 'are you fine, Kiddo', he makes her sit, his face pales, he cleans her wounds, she cried a bit, 'it's okay, I'm here, your dad', this naturally slips off his mouth but no one noticed, 'I'm here', he kissed her little palms and comforted her.

Keifer said, 'let's go into Ferris wheel', he said, CT became excited, 'yeahh', her expressions were reflecting a mini Jay in her, they went near that, Keifer held Jay's hand and CT in his arms already, they sit together, across each other.

When the ride started, both of Keifer's girls exclaimed, he took out phone and gives a missed call, the ride stopped in between, they're at top, 'shit, not again', Jay said and looked at Keifer, he's smiling, 'you did that', she asked, Keifer rolled his shoulder, he points at back, 'take the video, last time you missed it, fireworks at your back', he said.

The beautiful fireworks, Jay smiled, and started recording it, CT fell asleep in Keifer's arms, the ride started which jolted Jay, she kind of fell towards Keifer, he pulled her, 'still it feels the same', he whispered, once again the ride jolted them, their lips brushed against each other.

Keifer pulled Jay, makes her sit beside him, their eyes were locked, gradually they moved closer, their emotions unfurled, the desperation took over and their lips met, a soft and lingering kiss after years, they closed their eyes to feel the moment. 

Keifer tightens his grip on her waist, pulling her more close, she didn't resist, they didn't broke up until the ride came down, Jay got startled when ride finally stopped, she hurriedly gets off, followed by Keifer, 'Jay, we need to talk', he said, 'what's there to talk about', she asked, 'a lot', he replied. She took CT and without replying left. 

Jay was sitting in her balcony, looking at moon, 'we kissed again, after years,  once again  I melted into his arms, still it makes me feel like nothing has changed, I'm falling for him again, even I know it's gonna hurt me, he still got nerve to kiss me, when already has a fiancée', she whispered. 

Keifer appeared in front of her, she's shocked, 'what are you doing here?', she asked, 'didn't I told you, we're neighbors now', he said. Keifer kept staring, 'I never thought I'll be able to taste your lips again', he said, 'actually I'm cooking, does CT loves tomato soup', he asked.

'Of course, crazy like you', Jay replied without thinking making Keifer smiled, 'she's already done dinner', Jay said and moves inside, she thought, 'but the way he cares for CT, and she has started loving him, what if I tell him, can we be a happy family', she kept thinking, 'no fake hope Jay, no', she jerked her thoughts. 

'I can see the spark in your eyes, the love still blooming, that kiss assured me, I'm going to take one step at a time, you'll soon reveal yourself, I'm yearning to listen it from you that CT is ours', He gasped.
