"Mother's Knows Best"
Kris is just 18 year's old when he meet Leila. He only meet her because she was her mom's co-worker and a friend. They meet when his mom celebrated her birthday and she was one of his mom's guest. Leila is ten(10) year's older than Kris and she was already have two children's from her past relationships.
At first they are just friends. Leila in the first place immediately shows her interest to Kris but Kris didn't take it seriously as for him it was just a crush and also the woman is ten years older than him. He also respected her as his mom's friend and co-worker.
However, as the day's goes by, they eventually become in a relationship. When Kris mom's find out their relationship, she asks her son to cut their relationship as soon as possible, and not to be fooled by Laila.
His mom didn't stop reminding him. However Kris didn't listen to his mom as for him, his mom is just being judgemental. He still continue his relationship to Leila. They still go out for a date, they celebrate their special days together, and they used to hang out with both of their friends. Kris also learned how to smoke with cigarettes and get drunk with alcohol because of Leila.
His mom got angry to Leila and it even tried asking Laila to set her son free. But Leila just laugh at her, as she believes that Kris can't live without her anymore as she saw that it was already crazy in love with her. Kris mom was very disappointed on her and she even regretted that she invited her to her house and got a chance to meet his son.
Kris on the other hand remains hardheaded to his mom. He still didn't stop seeing and his relationship to Leila as he really enjoyed her company. There are even time's that Kris and his mom got some misunderstanding because of Leila.
Kris didn't know that he was already hurting his mom so much because of his sudden changes.
One day Leila came to see Kris in their house. Kris was confused why she came, as normally she don't usually go there because she knows that his parents are against with their relationship. But that day was different as she came with some announcement to make.
...Kris I'm pregnant, and your going to be a father soon! Laila said.
Emotions and reactions got mixed inside the house. The parents felt broken hearted for their only child. Kris was still young to be a father and he don't have a stable job yet and so it would be difficult for him to take that responsibility. Meanwhile Kris got shocked and surprised, and he don't know what to say but he only hugged Laila as a sign of his happiness.
The parents remains silence. Both of them don't know what to say. Laila is not a good influence to Kris, as because of her Kris learns how to fight to his mom, he also learns how to smoke and drink alcohol, but the parents can't stop him and so now they don't have any choice but to support and to accept their relationship. Most specially that they're going to be a grandparents soon.
Since Laila is already pregnant she finally invited Kris to meet her parents to have their blessings as well. For the first time Kris finally meet Laila's parents.
...So you are the father, huh? Do you know that my daughter already have two children's from his past relationships?
..Yeah, I have already know that, Laila told me.
..Then from now on they are also your responsibility. You have to feed them as well, because they are my daughters children. You also need to marry my daughter before she give birth to your child, are aware with that?
...Yes sir.
.. that's good, if you won't marry my daughter, you'll gonna meet heaven so early and it laugh like crazy.
Kris got scared with the word of Laila's father, and so Laila spoke and reminded her father that she cannot marry Kris anymore because she isn't yet annulled from her past relationship. Laila is already married to her two daughters father, but she never tell it to Kris since then.
Kris on the other hand got shocked and surprised with what he hears from her.
.. You're already married? Why I didn't know about it? why you didn't tell me?
... Simple because you didn't asked, how am I gonna tell you about that? Laila sarcastically answer him.
He began to fell confused, and he eventually regretted that he didn't listen to his mom.
... I'm going home. Kris said to Laila.
... Did you change your mind?
...I just needed some time to think, because you never been honest to me since then. How could you do this to me huh? I love you and even choose you over and over again and yet this what I got?
Kris was really mad. He can't believe on his self that his having a relationship to a married woman and now his already trapped. Even if he regretted all that he did, he can no longer change the fact that he made a married woman pregnant. He suddenly felt that he only put his own feet in hell because of his wrong choices and decisions in life.

Indeed, our mother will always be the best in everything. Hindi man sila perfect sa lahat ng bagay, but they are imperfectly perfect for me. Minsan di natin naiitindihan ang mga bagay na gusto nila, but in the end, it will always worth it kapag nakinig tzyo saknaila.
