"Lalim ng inisiip natin ha" nagulat si Eli nang biglang may tumabi sakanya, nilingon niya ito and saw Dawn
Nakatambay si Eli sa Lanai ng bahay nila Dawn sa Tagaytay, this is her favorite place here. Kitang kita kasi yung view ng tagaytay tas mafefeel yung malamig na simoy ng hangin.
"Pwedeng share yung iniisip mo?" Medyo nag aalinlangan na tanong niya pa.
Eli smiled and umiling iling. "Nothing important tita, may naisip lang" sagot niya.
"Sus, si Irene ba?" She asked natigilan si Eli, dahil tama naman ito.
"I heared you talking to dad na she can't come because of her work" wika ni Eli.
Tunay naman, she accidentally heared them talking last night.
"Narinig mo pala, I didn't tell you na kasi alam ko naman na kung ano ano nanaman iisipin mo. She badly wants to join us here but sad to say she needs to check on her patients on time, medyo they are having a hard time now in the hospital e" Eli nods. She was telling her tita dawn that she understands by smiling at her.
Kahit may mga tanong nanaman na naglalaro sa isip niya.
"Eli! Tita Dawn! Tita Alice ordered food, Let's have an merienda na" someone butt in, lumingon sila and saw Tim eating pizza na.
Dawn nods at Tim, she held Eli's hand and led her to the garden.

"Oh baka magkasakitan kayo diyan ha, pag kayo nagkapikunan paguntugin pa namin kayo" pabirong wika ni Dawn habang nakatingin kila Tim, Aton, Maui at Eli na nag-aasaran habang nasa pool
"Si Tim tita, palagi nalang nang-aasar" reklamo ni Eli natawa naman sila Dawn.
"Tim stop it, lagot tayo sa Tito Greggy mo pag nainis si Eli" singit naman ni Small.
Pangalawang gabi na nila sa Tagaytay and they decided to have a barbeque night.
The Boys Richard, Greggy, and Small's husband was already drinking beer and the girls are sipping their wines while grilling the barbeque
Umahon muna saglit si Eli sa pool para kumuha ng hotdog, nagutom ito sa pakikipagbangayan kay Tim.
"Oh wear this El, napakalamig baka ginawin ka" Alice handed her a bathrobe.
"Thank you Tita" wika niya at kumuha ng pagkain sa iniihaw ni Dawn.
She went to the Lanai at naupo sa may wooden chair at pinagmasdan lang sila Aton na nagsswimming.
Inabot niya ang phone niya and saw missed calls from Irene and a few messages.
"How are you na El? Mommy misses you so much. Call me once you have free time okay?"
"Are you having fun El? Just enjoy that vacation okay? Wanna be there but my sched are a bit hectic. Bawi si mommy okay? I love you anak"
"Oh nakabusangot nanaman mukha mo" halos mapatalon pa si Eli dahil may biglang nagsalita. Nilingon niya ito and saw Dawn
"Hindi kaya Tita" deny niya.
"Sus, your mom called and she was telling me to tell you to call her as soon you have free time. miss ka na nun el"
"Kung miss niya ako, pupunta siya rito" mahinang wika ni Eli
"El I know her, its not that I am with her side but I know how much she want to join us here. She just cant kasi sumabay yung problema sa mga patients niya. Di niya naman kayang iwan ang mga batang yun"
