We celebrated valentines day together doing an outreach which is prepared by Brianna

Now is my birthday and we're here sa puntod ni mommy having our picnic

Aside saamin magkakapatid, Ash and Isaiah is also here na kanina pa ginagawang utusan ni Ali para magigib ng tubig at idilig sa bermuda grass dito kay mom

After setting up the picnic ay sabay sabay kaming kumain at nagtawanan sa mga kalokohan nung dalawa

I can see how happy Ali is with Isaiah, kahit tingin sa kanya is maldita at sinusupladahan si Isaiah I can feel how she love's Isaiah

After kumain ay dumeretso kami kay daddy, buti nalang kakilala daw ni Denver yung bantay kaya pinayagan kaming pumasok lahat kasi lang ayaw daw ni Isaiah kaya nagpaiwan nalang sila ni Ash sa labas

Dad was happy seeing his princesses, nagkwentuhan din kami

"Mga anak, sorry dad wasn't able to be with you physically. Pero always remember that you're always in my heart ha, every night I pray for justice..." sabi ni dad pero hinug lang sya ni Ali para matigil na dahil paiyak na si dad

"We're going to find the best lawyer for you dad don't worry" Ali whispered to dad to comfort him

I saw my man walking confidently kaya napatingin nalang ako sa kanya

Paglapit nya nagbless pa sya kay dad na kinamusta sya

Few small talks bago kami nagpaalam kay dad

"Ash! Ingatan mo mga prinsesa ko ha. Ikaw nalang mapapagkatiwalaan ko" pahabol na sigaw ni dad

"Una na muna kayo" utos ni Ash kaya lumabas na kami nila Ali and I saw him go back inside

Paglabas andun yung sasakyan ni Denver waiting for us

He even greeted me happy birthday

After few minutes lumabas na din si Ash and I saw Denver's car na nakaconvoy

"Ilalabas natin si tito sa kulungan" sabi ni Ash sakin and hold my hands

Pagdating sa bahay sinabihan nya kaming lahat na maupo sa sala for some talks regarding dad's case

"Ali, Gia, Kia lilipat kayo ng bahay ok? Isaiah offered a house which you guys can use. Si Denver ang hahawak sa case ng daddy nyo and we all know how dangerous it is na kalabanin yung mga nagpakulong sa daddy nyo" sabi ni Ash bago naglapag ng USB sa center table

"Nung nasa Spain kayo, may pumasok dito sa bahay the night pagkaalis ninyo. They're looking for this, ibinigay to sakin ni tito. Ayaw ng dad nyo na madamay kayo sa gulo kaya hinayaan namin maisantabi yung case nya habang nasa Spain kayo, but now I know Isaiah is also here to protect you kaya sinabi ko na kay tito na tama na ang pananahimik" tuloy tuloy na sabi ni Ash

Denver inserted the USB sa laptop nya and there's screenshots and recordings

"Denver, pwedeng kung about dito sa case tayo tayo nalang magusap? Yun din request ni tito. Girls, all you have to do is trust us and stay safe." Dagdag ni Ash and we all nod

I trust him, I trust them, and I know dad trust them too

"Magpapadala ako ng mga security" sagot ni Isaiah

"Kahit kila Ali nalang, wag na sakin. I can manage" I told him and I saw Ash agreed

"Can't we just stay here? I mean with ate and kuya Ash" Tanong ni Ali kaya nagtinginan kaming lahat

Mukhang suko din agad si Isaiah at Ash na pumayag na dito na magstay

After that yung tatlong lalaki nalang ang nagusap while me and the girls are busy in the kitchen cooking dinner

Ash hugged me from behind and I saw my sisters look at us

"Happy birthday love" bati nya and opened a box infront of me

It's a diamond ring kaya umikot ako to look at him

"5 years ago, I proposed to you in Bali infront of my family and you said yes." He told me and kneel

"Now, I want to ask you again sa harap ng mga kapatid mo. Will you be my forever?" Tanong ni Ash

"Kahit araw araw mo ako tanungin, I will always say yes!" Sagot ko tsaka nya isinuot sakin yung ring and kiss me

I heard a champagne pop, it was Isaiah

"Congratulations!" Sigaw ni Isaiah kaya natawa kami

After that we had a little celebration here with our kasambahays

Time flies so fast, months na din na busy sila Ash, Isaiah, and Denver sa case ni daddy

We dont attend the trials, silang tatlo lang talaga. Ayaw na din nung girls ng update since ayaw nila umasa baka kasi magfail ayaw na nila masaktan

Kakauwi lang nila Ash at Isaiah after the court hearing today and I can see how exhausted he is

Dumeretso agad sya sa table nya and opened one of his plates

"Love, pahinga ka muna" I told him and he just grabbed me by my waist at pinakalong sa kanya

He rested his head on my shoulders and kissed me

"Hindi ako pwede magpahinga, kailangan natin maging financially stable para magkaanak na tayo" sabi nya kaya natawa ako

"Let's get married" simpleng sabi ko and he nod

"Gusto mo bukas na agad" biro nya sakin

"Sige na love, mauna ka na matulog. Tatapusin ko lang to" sabi nya sakin kaya tumayo ako

"Goodnight love" I told him bago nahiga sa bed

True to his words, we started the preparation for our wedding while busy with work and he's busy with dad's case

I dont know paano nya kinakaya pagsabaysabayin while me struggle na magbalance ng work and life here sa bahay with wedding preparations pa

He was also able to talk to tita and tito, buti nagkaayos na sila and they knew we're about to get married

The girls are also busy with their lives, si Isaiah and Ali mostly aso't pusa lalo na dito na din tumira si Isaiah samin

Everything's working so well, si daddy nalang ang kulang. And I know soon he'll be with us
