Exemplum (UNDER REVISION)

Reunion in La Union

We brought our Mazda minivan since medyo marami kaming gamit na dala. Nauna na si Francine sa likod kaya si Beau and katabi ni Brent. The whole ride was quiet but it didn't make me feel sleepy since I got more than eight hours of sleep last night. 

When we arrived at the resort, some approached us to take a photo. Bea declined some of them dahil kakagising lang niya kaya sa'kin nalang sila nagpa-picture. 

After booking two hotel rooms, we went up and fixed our things na. We're planning to stay overnight since holiday naman bukas at walang pasok si Beau at Francine. Bea will do online consultations later this afternoon from 5 PM to 8 PM. I didn't approve it because Sundays are family days but she just wouldn't stop working. 

"Hello, lovie!" I greeted Manong and ate Ly's eldest daughter who's the same age as Francine. 

We're going to spend today and hopefully tomorrow with Manong's family and Dani. Mama and Papa didn't want to come. 

"Tito," Keisha kissed me and Bea on our cheeks before she went back to what she was doing. Tabi na sila ngayon ni Francine na busy rin sa paga-iPad. Napailing ako lalo nang makitang nagaaral sila parehas. 

Obviously, Dani was late. Inasar pa ni Manong si Gian dahil naka-score na naman raw siya kay Dani. Tawang-tawa naman kami dahil pulang pula si Dani. Daig pa ang kamatis. 

"Cute naman nito!" Pinang-gigilan pa ni Dani si Brent. "Akin nalang 'to!" 

"Nako, naiinggit na 'to, Mamuyac." Panimula na naman ni Manong. 

"Stop using protections na kasi, uy! You're both married naman na," Natatawang saad ni Bea in her Cebuano accent. 

I really enjoy her Cebuano accent. But I find it sexy when she talks in French.

"She wants to play pa. And so do I. 'Di pa namin kaya mag-anak," Natatawang sagot ni Mamuyac. 

We spent the whole morning getting lost in the sea. Bea brought Brent with him and did a little dip. He seemed scared at first but he liked it very much. He's three at gusto na nga agad mag-jetski. The resort staff told us that Jetski is safe for brent naman daw but Bea and I didn't want to bring Brent with us while riding the jetski. Bukod sa kabado kami ay baka maglikot siya kaya huwag na. Siguro kapag malaki na siya. 

"Kuya, Manong.." We both turned to Dani when she called us. 

"'Yong mga dalaga niyo, ayun," She pointed at Francine and Keisha. "Puro aral. Kini-quiz pa nila isat't-isa. Ate Ly and ate Bei will surely get mad if they sees them studying,"

After a little talk with Dani, Manong and I went to our girls. We overheard them fighting about a certain part in their disease case. 

"Girls.." I kissed Francine's forehead before getting her iPad and turning it off.
