"Love,.."
"Love?"
"Ma'am, nasa may bar area po si Atty."
"Umiinom?"
"Wine lang naman po Maám, pasalubong po ni Ms. Aiesa kanina."
"Okay, yung mga bata?"
"Si Ada po nanonood ng cartoon. Si Ms. Kaia po kanina pa po sya dumating, si Ms. Myelle po sinama ni Madame Nikka, si Ms. Ysa po, nag-aaral."
"Si Sabrielle?"
"Wala pa po sya Maam."
I nodded at our house help. I checked my phone to check where's Sab. May text naman na malalate sya ng uwi so I just went to my husband.
"Attorney, mukhang napasarap ka na naman jan sa iniinom mo ah."
"Love, kanina ka pa?"
"Kakarating ko lang, galing daw si Ayie?"
"Yeah, nagdala lang ng pasalubong. She just got home."
"Iniispoil ka rin talaga nyan ni Ayie ano?"
"She had a lot of chocolates for you too."
I smiled.
"I don't think she wants you to consume the whole bottle today."
"Konti lang naman Love."
"Bakit ka nga pala andito at umiinom? Should we be preparing? Myelle's graudating not just as summa cum laude but the batch valedictorian tomorrow."
"I know and I am really happy."
"Nakatatlo na tayo, dalawa na lang at graduate na tayo."
Matteo smiled.
"Ay, did Sab contact you? Wala pa rin kasi sya, nakapagdinner na kami."
"She texted me, may project pa daw na tinatapos. The submission will be tomorrow."
Matti nodded.
"Love, all of them are already grown-ups."
"Yeah, di na sila baby."
Matti sighed.
"My little girls are not little anymore Love."
I smiled and hold his hand.
"Soon, there will be new family members."
"Magbaby pa tayo?"
"Sira! Matanda na tayo. What I mean is soon, your little girls would have their own little kids."
"Hindi ko pa ata kaya Love."
"Matteo, hindi naman pwedeng habang buhay silang anak lang natin. Soon, they'll be someone else's wife. Soon, they'll be someone else's Mommy."
"Where did the time go Love?"
"Here,." as I caressed his face.
"You look old and wrinkly Love. Matanda ka pang tingnan kay Mommy. Am I stressing you this much?"
"No, you just look too young."
I smiled.
"Magaling ka kasi mag-alaga."
"Am I?"
"Yes, you are pero halika na, we need to sleep. You must be the most good looking guy tomorrow."
Matteo surrounded his arms around my shoulders. We saw our youngest on the doorstep of our room.
"Ada?"
