Undeniable Romance

QUATRO

“You surprise the hell out of me, January.” Napatayo ako.

“I'm sorry then!” She laugh at me.

“Ano ba 'yon?” I ask her.

“Um, ate I just want to know that I saw you three weeks ago with that guy.” She suddenly mumble that make my eyebrows crease.

“Huh?”

“The one who mentioned by Feb earlier. Siya ba 'yon, Ate? Gwapo naman, Ate. Cute! Pwede na rin naming maging brother in law” She added.

“January..” Oh god, kailan ba 'to mga titigil. “Are you spying me?” Gaano ba 'to ka excited na magkaasawa ako.

“No, ate of course not. I accidentally saw you with him at the mall. Why are you denying him then. Mayaman naman siguro 'yon? Gwapo naman ate.”

January is just like our youngest sister. Talkative yet matured to talk. Makulit nga lang.

“Ate, get married na rin kasi. You're old enough na. Tsaka we really wanted to have a pamangkin. Ang damot damot mo naman, Ate.” She demanded.

“Aba't January sa tingin mo ba ganon kadali 'yang gusto mo?”

“Yes! E ate ikaw lang naman ang ayaw.” Napakamot ito ng kanyang ulo.

Mukhang sasabog ang ulo ko sa kagustuhan nitong kapatid kong isa.

“Ayokong gawin ang gusto mo, January. Just ask me about material things just stop meddling my decision when it comes to my life.” Sumimangot ito.

“Damot!” She told me as she turn her back at me.

Mukhang nasa dugo na talaga namin ang pagiging makulit. From my parents down to my sisters. Silly, hindi ko nakuha ang ganoong traits.

Dad prepared a family date for us. He set a table for five outside our beach house. He order some of our favorite food.

These are usually our family bonding. Na ikinatutuwa ko naman kahit papaano.

Dad is such the sweetest man in my life. Like, he's such an example for a perfect guy. He used to be loyal for my mom and for our family. Kung kabaitan lamang ang pag uusapan ay kay Daddy nalang ako.

“Roses for my girls...” Dad give us red roses while a bouquet for mom.

“Thank you, Dad.” I kiss his cheeks. Jan and Feb do the same.

“Thanks honey.” I smiled as I saw my mom kiss my dad.

Dad really really love my mom. To the point that he understand her no matter what happened.

Silly but honestly speaking, my Dad was head over heels for Mom since then. Mom is indeed beautiful. She's a pure moroccan though lumaki siya sa Pilipinas.

“Anyway, girls I know you love jewelries so I bought some for you.” At may pahabol pa itong surprise sa aming tatlo.

He gave us a cute box.

“Your birthstone indicated on it.” He added.

A birthstone ring. How cute it is!

“Thank you, Daddy. I love you!” And for the second time around, we thank him.

We started eating our dinner outside. The wind is so cold yet nice to feel. Mabuti naman at hindi ako nito kinukulit.
