Special Chapter

"Let her be, I mean if she don't want here anymore let her be. Maybe she wants to be independent na." I nodded, she has a point, Vernice is already 19, she can do whatever she wants.

"No! Bakit natin siya hahayaan mom? Ikaw ang nag alaga sa kaniya noong walang kumupkop sa kaniya and just like that aalis siya ng walang paalam?!" sumama ang tingin ko sa kaniya, kanina pa siya sumisigaw ah.

"Ton, stop shouting at your mom!" suway ko.

"I'm sorry Mom, Dad, naiinis lang ako wala siyang utang na loob" he said in a low voice.

"Shaoton, that's too harsh" Suway ni Vien, naiinis na rin siguro sa mga sinasabi ng anak namin.

"No, she can't get away from us... from me." He immediately left the kitchen after that.

I just sighed, manang mana talaga sa nanay niya.

"Where's Gram?" Vien asked Ethan, may hawak siyang tray ng spaghetti.

We're in a beach.

"Nasa sasakyan, may naiwan raw e." he answered.

Vien took the tray and put it inside the cottage.

"Parating na rin sila Shin." Justine arrived, may dala ring pagkain.

Ambagan 'to e, ano sila sinuswerte.

"Nasaan naman ang unico hijo mo?" tanong ko naman kay Vince.

"He's gonna be late, galing pa kasing Batangas." I nodded. We're talking about Kale, his son.

"Hmm, someone's gonna get married." Geo joked. May hawak siyang batang babae sa kaliwang kamay niya.

I smiled at Maxine Adria, it's her name. She smiled back and waved at me. I gave her 500 pesos.

"Thank you, tito!" she hugged me, so cute!

"You're welcome!" I hugged her and smiled. Bumalik siya sa tatay niya kaya napatingin ako kay Geo, pinapanood niya pala kami. "Sa anak mo 'yan ah, mamaya kunin mo nanaman."

"Ang kapal ng mukha mo." sinimangutan niya ako at inambahan ng sapak.

Tumawa naman ako at humarap kay Max.

"Sabihin mo sa 'kin kung kukunin niya ah?" ginulo ko ang buhok niya at masayang tumango tanga sa akin.

"Okay, tito."

I smiled at her.

Ang ibang bata ay naroon na sa dagat, Shaoton, Maxine, Vernice, Melly at si Shawnie.

Si Kale naman at Gram ay nandoon sa upuan, Gram's just reading while Kale is staring at them.

Parang kailan lang kami kami lang magkakaibigan, ngayon may mga anak na. Buti nalang mas gwapo at magaganda kami sa kanila. Mga chanak.

I looked at my friends, nothing really changed, it's just that we became all so busy, sa sari sarili naming pamilya at career.

When the night came magkahiwalay ang bonfire ng mga bata sa amin, we also want them to enjoy on their own.

"Happy anniversary for the two of you." Vince greeted, katabi niya ang asawa niya. She smiled at us kaya ngumiti rin kami, I just realized that the world was really small. She's our former housekeeper.
