DJ spent his birthday like a normal kid who plays with his classmates. Not until he was approached by one classmate who dared to say insensitive words to him. “My mommy said that you have two daddies!” the young boy said while playing toys. Another one remained confused and added, “I have only one daddy because you cannot have another one”.
DJ felt troubled. He does not understand what they are saying not until one of his classmates teased him. “DJ does not know his daddy!” the classmate repeated continuously, making DJ comfortable. The little kid felt bad for what they are saying.
DK went outside to the garden to answer a phone call from the office when he saw the kids running around and throwing pieces of toy blocks. He assumed that they are just kids playing along. He talked over the phone and dropped it immediately after the discussion was settled. He placed his phone in his pants’ pocket and went to the inflatables to check the kids.
His eyes widened when he saw his son being bullied by his classmates, making him wet by attacking him with water guns. DJ burst into tears; DK rushed to the center to carry his crying son, not minding his clothes being wet also. Delia returned with a slice of cake. Her eyes widened upon seeing the disaster that had taken place in the play area.
“Kids, I am DJ’s dad. He only has one dad” he said and stormed out of the garden. His eyes furiously glaring at Delia who is troubled at the moment. He went inside the area and pulled Joanna to the place’s exit; Miss Elizaga managed the visitors, seeing the two having a problem.
Joanna forcefully removed DK’s hand from her arm. She can sense that DK is mad from his tight grip and emotionless face. DJ continued crying though DK brought him out of the play area already. “Get off of me. It hurts!” Joanna complained and so DK let go of her. He brought down DJ; the kid hurriedly embraced his mother.
“Our kid is being bullied outside. Where were you? Hadn’t I received a call, I might have not witnessed what is happening!” he said out of anger. Joanna kneeled down and wiped DJ’s tears. She asked the child, “What did they do?”. DK just stood there, his hands placed on his waist; displaying annoyingness and disappointment.
DJ sobbed and answered, “They said that I have two daddies and I don’t know who my father is”. Tears continued rolling down on the kid’s cheeks. DK sighed and looked away, but he can feel that Joanna is looking at him. “I asked Delia to be with DJ while I am managing things inside” Joanna calmly answered DK’s question earlier.
DK scoffed, “Then where was Delia when this happened?” he still has rage in his voice. Joanna called Delia and gave DJ for the child to change to dry clothes. She can see how DK efforted to stop the kids bullying DJ from the wet clothes he is wearing. “I’m sorry. And thank you for stepping up for DJ” she said.
“DJ is my son. Of course I won’t let anyone hurt him” he simply replied with arms crossed. “I was such a terrible mother. I did not do anything to stop scenes like these” Joanna said, pitying herself for the chaos that happened exactly on DJ’s birthdate. DK shook his head and left Joanna alone in the place. She managed to resist her tears and went back to the party as if nothing happened. Miss Elizaga touched her shoulder and asked if she is okay. She simply nodded with a fake smile. She continued managing the things while Delia is in-charge of DJ.  
 
They ended the party successfully, without no one making another trouble that might hinder the celebration. Joanna handed over the sleeping DJ on Miss Elizaga’s arms as she, King, Dolan, and Delia are about to return to their place. “Aunt Carmina, please take care of DJ for me. This day is quite terrible for him” Joanna said.
Miss Elizaga nodded and assured her daughter-in-law, “No worries, Joanna. I will explain things to DJ” she replied. The four rode the car and bid goodbye. Miss Elizaga made sure that everything is already wrapped up before they go back to the mansion. None of them noticed where DK was few hours before they ended the party.
A car parked in front of them, showing DK driving it. “Hop on before it starts raining” DK said and waited for them to ride the car. Miss Elizaga sat on the passenger’s seat and talked to her son. “Dolan and Joanna told me everything. I understand that you are protective of your son. But why lash out at Joanna? She did not intend to make DJ bullied” she initiated the conversation.
DK just looked at the road and replied, “I am slowly thinking that Joanna cannot even protect DJ from those kinds of situations”. Miss Elizaga leaned back and explained, “No mother wants to let her child be hurt by anyone else. It’s just that, Joanna is just a person. She is not perfect in many ways. You know, parenthood is a matter of corrections and mistakes. You won’t even know that DJ is being bullied if you hadn’t answered a phone call”.
DK just allowed his mother’s words enter his ears. He is not in the mood for sentiments; what makes him troubled is the way he saw in his two eyes how his child is being attacked by other kids.
 
Joanna remained quiet while King drove back to their house after dropping off Dolan. “Don’t overthink the argument, Joanna. They are just kids playing around. They can’t even understand it how much you try to explain our situation to them” King said while driving. Joanna looked at the window and reflected. “Maybe I just can’t protect DJ because I can’t even protect myself either” she said. King held her hand and kissed it, “If you can’t, please remember that you have me” he replied.
Joanna looked at King; their eyes met. Joanna randomly suggested, “What if I’ll file divorce to terminate my marriage with DK?”. King suddenly felt shocked from what Joanna uttered. “It’s not that easy to do. Besides, what if DK refuses?” King asked back. Joanna is hesitant, but she thinks that it is the way to protect DJ.
“Then I can prove that our marriage is really on the rocks. I’ll make DK understand that DJ’s life will be more comfortable if he has you as a dad to step up for him” she expounded. King wants to decline Joanna’s idea because he is not ready to get married yet. But a part of him thinks that he can freely have Joanna with him if her marriage with DK will be removed.
“If divorce will make you happier and more comfortable, then go for it. You have me and DJ all the way anyway” he said and continued driving. Joanna leaned back and planned to process the divorce right away the next day.
