'Pa...' I greeted Papa as he entered the gym. I'm busy preparing, changing into my training gears. I looked behind him and didn't see my little happy pill. He just smiled and read something on the papers he's holding.
'Asan si Mimi?' I asked as I looked around. Mimi's nowhere to be found.
'Andyan lang yun...' Papa said while still busy turning pages in the papers he's holding and not looking at me.
I look around, where could my little pill be? I started dribbling the ball near the bench, I could see some of my teammates are still busy changing and chit chatting. Practice is not starting soon pa naman din. Until I heard giggles near the entrance.
'Wait up... Wait lang!' I look up instantly and stopped dribbling. I recognized that voice of my four year old.
'Why are you doing this to me?' That of a man's voice. I mean, big man's voice.
Then giggles. Di ko pa man sila nakikita, parang alam ko na ang nangyayari.
Not later the whole gym roared with laughter. I stopped dribbling again as I saw our big man, Mo Tautua and my little girl. Wearing a flower crown.
Kierra Mikhaella!
A lot of times whenever Mimi's here in practice. Coz kung sino man ang player na matimingan, ayan ang ginagawa ni Mims. And today, it was Mo.
Mo pouted at Mimi, as if he's not enjoying the crown.
'You look really pretty Tito Mo.' My girl said then giggles. Nagtawanan nanaman lahat, pati si Papa natatawa. Kulit talaga.
'Nagdadalaga na si Mo.' Kuya RDO shouted and the people again laughed.
'You look really fine Tito.' Mimi said as she arrange the flowers on Mo's crown as Mo readies himself for practice.
They both just giggling. Di naman ako pinapansin ng anak ko.
I just took a Snap of my baby and sent it to Mika.
'Ano nanaman ginawa? 😅'
She asked. And so I replied and said what had happened. Ang kulit lang talaga ni Mimi.
~~~
'Kailan ka ba kasi uuwi? I need someone here to help me with these stuffs. Hindi namin kaya ni Nana ng kaming dalawa lang. Can you at least make time? Pagod na ako Kiefer.'
I am talking to Kiefer as we are Facetime-ing. Nana Jen, Mimi's new Yaya, help me packed some things here in our condo.
Mimi's house is ready for occupancy. And we can't wait to move in, but the father' is very busy still in Manila. His team didn't make the cut, but he got so many things to do still in Manila.
Its almost Christmas and I have yet to start with my Christmas shopping.
'Baby, I still have schedule for the next two days, I'm sorry.' He pouted and sighed.
I didn't pansin but he could hear it, I know, nagdadabog na ako. Pinapainit ni Kiefer ulo ko. Di ba niya inaalala na I'm pregnant too?
'Sige dyan ka na lang, wag ka nang umuwi dito.' I said throwing things in the box. I hear Nana Jen giggled as she picks the things from the floor.
'Mama naman...' Kiefer said. My Kierra's in school. She still got three more days before the Christmas break. And we still have to buy her gif for her manito.
