Jake received Joanna’s message and immediately forwarded it to DK. And so DK abruptly deployed his staff to manage the party he wanted to happen. Joanna also invited some of DJ’s closest friends and their parents. He went to the mall and picked out things that he will be gifting to his child. As usual, DJ will stay on Joanna and King’s place at morning, and he will take DJ home to him and Miss Elizaga after the celebration.
It is already the night before DJ’s birthday. Miss Elizaga went to the venue – a kiddie party with inflatables, a pool, and a playground. She opened her phone and took photos of the place to send them to Joanna. DK roamed around and checked every detail to ensure that no other problems would be encountered during the party.
“I want everything safe and secured. Kids will be playing in this area” he ordered the staff who are in-charge of the inflatables. Miss Elizaga commented, “Your son will surely love this place! He is fond of toy trucks and construction just like you”. DK smiled, “Gladly he took it from me” he replied. Joanna replied with a heart emoji to the photos Miss Elizaga sent.
“The party will start tomorrow morning, why don’t you go home and prepare?” Miss Elizaga asked her son. DK crossed his arms and answered, “I won’t leave the venue. I will stay here until the work is done”. Miss Elizaga nodded and left to go home. DK stayed in the venue for a while; he wanted to make the party perfect and hassle-free so his kid could enjoy it.
 
The next day came…
DK entered the venue to check everything last minute before the scheduled party time. Miss Elizaga came with him to arrange the dessert bar she requested. “All set, now let’s wait for Joanna and DJ” Miss Elizaga said and clapped in excitement. DK felt satisfied upon seeing his imagined party come into reality.
 
Joanna packed some things that they will be needing for the party while Delia is busy dressing DJ. “Happy birthday, little boy,” King said while handing over a gift. DJ smiled widely, “Thank you Daddy!” he replied and immediately asked Delia to open the gift. King watched the kid react to the toy he gave. “I know you love toy trucks so I got you a lot,” King said, seeing DJ getting excited to play with the toy.
Joanna carried some bags and went outside to see the three ready to go now. King carried the bags for her as they rode the car to the venue DK prepared. “Is everything ready? Maybe the guests are almost there also” King said and started the engine. Joanna wore the seatbelt and replied, “Yeah, some of the parents and the teachers texted me that they are already going there”.
King just nodded and started maneuvering the road to the center city while DJ was busy playing with his new toys in the backseat of the car. DK glanced at his wristwatch; patiently waiting for Joanna and King to reach the place.
After a while, they all reached the place. Joanna’s eyes were satisfied upon looking at the totality of the place of the event. It is a birthday party that every child could ever dream of. DJ saw Dior and immediately ran to him. The child gave his real father a little hug. “Happy birthday, little dude” DK whispered. DJ looked up and asked, “Can I play in the water?”. DK ruffled the kid’s hair, “Of course, you can! Everything you see right now is yours” he answered and saw DJ’s face delighted.
King faced DK and spoke, “Thanks for preparing all of these. Joanna and I appreciates it”. DK just gave them a nod, “No worries, all for the sake of Dion” he replied. And just like that, the guests started filling the place. As expected, many kids from the kindergarten came to play with DJ for his birthday. The crew DK hired effectively entertained them and served them as if they were in a five-star venue.
DJ stretched his arms, aiming to get a carry from DK. He immediately carried him as the crowd started singing the birthday song. King stood nearby with a camera in his hand. While Joanna stood beside her husband and child as if there are no problems with them. They can see that some of the guests are confused with what they are seeing because all this time, King was the one who sends and picks up DJ from the kindergarten.
They started speculating and rumoring about DK and DJ. “Isn’t Engr. King the father of Dion?” a guest asked but the kindergarten staff shook her head. “No wonder DJ does not use the surname of Engr. King. No wonder… Dion looks like this man” the teacher said. One stood up with an eyebrow raised. “You are right. King is not the father of Dion. In fact, the man carrying him is the real father. A millionaire, a resort owner, and most especially, an engineer-to-be also” Dolan, Joanna’s college friend said to stop the spread of rumors.
The guests who are rumoring about their private life suddenly become quiet. Dolan turned around and hosted the celebration of his godson. When the visitors were busy enjoying the meal and the place, Dolan made time to communicate with his long-lost friend. “Joanna, didn’t you hear what they are saying behind your back?” Dolan asked. Joanna’s eyebrows raised, “What do you mean?” she asked back.
Dolan sighed, “The people from DJ’s school are questioning the real father of your son. But no worries, I got it all covered” he answered. Joanna gave him a hug, “You’re really the best” she said. Some of the guests even discovered the personality of DK. “Mr. Dior Tiueco is Dion’s real father?!” a parent exclaimed.
Some of the teachers were surprised. “Isn’t he the womanizer from the same university where we graduated?” one whispered and the other agreed. One scoffed, “No wonder I cannot see Mr. Tiueco being a dad to Dion. It is Engr. King who does all the job”. A parent commented, “Maybe it is because Miss Joanna’s new partner is Engr. King who is the founder of the new construction empire here in the city”.
