IRENE
Around one PM when we arrived at Ilocos since we left the house around five thirty AM. Walong oras ang byahe kaya kailangan naming byumahe ng maaga para iwas traffic.
"You go upstairs and continue your sleep" I told her. She fell asleep earlier and she said just wake her up whenever we arrived at the house since she didn't want her dad to carry her kasi alam niyang pagod din ang daddy niya sa pag da-drive.
"'Mmy..." She stopped walking and turnaround.
"Hm? why?" I walked near to her and caressed her back.
"I can't see" I chuckled.
"Open your eyes kasi anak" Yanne is trying to open her eyes but it seems that her eyes is resisting so i call Borgy to carry her.
Sa garden ako agad nagtungo dahil sabi ni Borgy nandoon sila. Si Greggy nauna na sa taas dahil matutulog pa dahil pagod.
"Bella!" Naka ngiting sabi ko sabay yakap kay Ysabella.
Sabay sabay silang tumingin sa gawi ko nang narig na ang boses ko.
"Tita ko," Bella said and give me a hug, a tight hug.
"Na miss kita tita"
"I missed you too but you owe me a chicka" I joked and have a look to Khiel.
"Yaz! and Yanne owe me a chicka too" She laughed.
Sa tabi ni manang ang may extra na upuan kaya doon nalang ako pu-pwesto paupo na sana ako nang marinig ko ang sigaw ni Borgy.
"TITA IRENE!" Agad akong pumasok sa loob at nakita kong nag papatintiro na si Yanne at Borgy sa sala. Nang makita ako ni Borgy ay agad siyang tumakbo palapit saakin at nag tago sa likuran ko.
"Tita oh nang hahampas" Muntik pa akong matumba sa kadahilanang ginagawa niya akong shield.
"Teka nga ano bang nangyari?" I asked calmly.
"Paano si kuya nang aasar nilalaro ba naman ang ilong ko" Kunot noong sambit ng anak ko at mukang ubos na ang pasensiya, may hawak pa ngang tsinelas.
"Hindi ah-" Sa sobrang inis ni Yanne ay hinagis nito ang tsinelas buti nalang at naka ilag ako dahil kung hindi ay baka natamaan ako.
Borgy run when Yanne come closer to me he went to the garden so Yanne followed him. I shook my head. Minsan na nga lang sila mag kita kita mag ba-bardagulan pa.
"Maaa~" Borgy shouted when Yanne already catched him. I think she didn't notice Bella. Napakurap ako nang itulak ni Yanne ang kuya niya sa pool.
"Boom!" Sigaw ni Simon mula sa sliding door, kasama niya si Matthew at pareho silang naka sandal sa sliding door.
"You deserved it napaka sutil mo kasi" Yanne said and rolled her eyes making us laugh.
"Oh my god" Natatawang sambit ni Bella dahil sa ginawa ni Yanne.
"Where did she get that attitude?" She added.
"Syemre sa mommy niya" Manang said, i looked at her with a blank stare making her laugh.
"Stop laughing-" Yanne turned around to face us but her eyes became wide when she saw Khiel beside Bella.
"Oh my god! i knew it!" Nag tatatalon siya. Bahagya akong natawa kay Yanne.
YANNE
When i turned around I saw ate Bella and kuya Khiel. Mag katabi sila, i guess Trisha doesn't know about this yet.
"Oh my god! i knew it!" Pasigaw kong sambit at nag tatatalon pa.
"You owe me chicka" I said while pointing my finger to ate Bella as i walked towards to them.
"Hello, you owe me chicka too" I sit next to her, right side 'cause kuya Khiel is on her left side. Si tita Liza na ang nag adjust.
"Anyways, sina Alfonso at Luis? hindi ba sila pupunta?" Mama Imee asked. I wrinkled my nose.
"I texted Lu last night and asked him if they can go he said he don't know if they can go since Xandra is quite busy daw but they'll try if they can go" Sagot ni mommy.
"How 'bout Alfonso?" Nag bikit balikat si mommy.
"I texted kuya last night he said pupunta sila" I said. Mommy nodded.
We stayed at the garden until afternoon si daddy bumaba narin kaninang around three PM. We can see the sunset there at the garden, i love sunset so i took a photo of it and put it to my Instagram story.
It's quite late when we eat dinner hinintay pa kasi namin sila kuya Alfonso and while waiting for our food kasi sinu-serve palang nila sakto namang dumating din sila kuya Lu.
"I thought hindi na kayo pupunta" Ate Bella said and make beso with kuya Lu and ate Xandra.
"Xandra cancelled her appointments so we can go here kaya dapat you treat us bukas" Ate Xandra slightly slapped his arm.
"Yeah yeah i know right by the way i have something for you I'll give it you later" Kuya Lu nodded.
The dinning table is big kasya kaming lahat kapag nag sama sama tapos yong mga bata may high hair din but since their grown up already naka kandong nalang sila sa mga magulang nila.
"Kuya Si did you bring your guitar let's jam later" I suggest. Kasi if we're not going to enjoy this night baka hindi namin magawa bukas kasi I'm sure the boys will drink.
"Yes and even if i don't bring my guitar i still have guitar here" Tuwang tuwa ako. Kaya binilisan ko ang pagkain.
"Anak keep it calm, you might get choke" Mommy said so i nodded.
After we eat dinner umakyat lang kami sa mga kwarto namin to change our clothes and freshen up. Since 'yong ibang mga gamit na dala namin ay nasa kwarto nila mommy so i went to their room first. I knocked of course baka maka isturbo ako.
"Mommy open please" I said as i knocked. It didn't took so long naman so they're not busy.
"Hm?" Mommy asked when the door finally opened.
"My things po" I said. Pinapasok ako ni mommy sa kwarto nila and i saw daddy lying on their bed while watching on the tv so i joined him.
"Daddy HBO again you're not nagsasawa ba?" Conyo'ng tanong ko.
"No. Maleficent is he next movie mamayang eleven" That made me look on the wall clock, it's already ten forty PM. I pouted, i can't watch it. Ever since i was seven naging favorite kong panoorin 'yong maleficent.
"Ihh i can't watch it but it's okay mag j-jamming naman kami sa garden" Daddy chuckled.
"You can watch it on Netflix naman" Right i can watch it on Netflix, i nodded.
When mommy puts my things on the couch i get up to their bed.
"'Mmy baba ka later iwanan natin si daddy dito, nood ng nood e" I joked making mommy chuckled.
Hindi na ako nag tagal sa kwarto nila dahil mag f-freshen up pa ako kaninang umaga ko pa suot itong damit kong army green na crop top at khaki trouser.
Tinali ko muna ang buhok ko bago pumunta sa bathroom para hindi mabasa. I did first my skin care then after that nag freshened up na ako.
Hindi ako nag tagal sa bathroom at pagkatapos ko doon nag tungo na ako sa walk-in closet para mag palit ng pantulog. I just wear my terno black silk sleepwear at pumunta garden.
Naka upo ang boys sa baba while sa upuan naman yong mga girl there's vacant chair beside ate Xandra so doon nalang akong umupo.
"Suggest song" Sabi ni kuya Simon habang tinutuno ang gitara niya.
Kaming mag pipinsan palang ang nadito wala pa ang mga magulang namin. I playfully raised my eyebrows saka tinitignan sila. Nag simula palang si kuya Si sa intro umingay na sila.
"Kung tayo ay matanda na, sana'y di tayo mag bago" I sing first, that's always my part.
"Kailanman, nasaan ma'y ito ang pangarap ko makuha mo pa kayang ako'y hagkan at yakapin..."
"Hm hm hm hm hm hm" We all hummed.
"Hanggang sa pag tanda natin, nag tatanong lang sayo kung ako pakaya'y iibigin mo kung maputi na ang buhok ko" It was kuya Lu's turn and while singing that part he's looking at ate Xandra.
"Pag dating ng araw ang 'yong buhok ay puputi narin, sabay tayong mangangarap ng nakaraan sa'tin" Syemre si kuya Alfonso hindi papatalo tinignan din ang asawa habang kumakanta. Napa iling nalang ako.
Nawala ako ng saglit dahil nag vibrate ang cellphone ko at naka received ng message.
Remz sent you a message
Remz: 'Cause it's been raining in manila
Kumumot ang noo ko.
Yanne: Huh? nasa ilocos ako
Remz: Ay, nevermind nalang
Mas kumumot ang noo ko, ano ba kasi 'yon?
Yanne: Why? umuulan sa manila?
Remz: No but it's was a song by Lola Amour. I just want to sing
I laughed.
Yanne: Yeah that's right kumanta ka sa chat much better:>
Remz: Ouch ha
I chuckled and shook my head.
"Yanne it's your turn already" Napa angat naman ako ng tingin.
"H-ha asan na tayo?" Tanong ko dahil nga hindi ako naka sabay kanina dahil kausap ko si Remz.
"Last na," Sabi ni ate Bella.
"A-ang naka lipas ay ibabalik natin, hm hm hm hm hm hm ipapaalala ko sa'yo ang aking pangako na ang pag-ibig ko'y lagi sa'yo kahit maputi na ang... buhok ko..." When i looked around i saw mommy and daddy standing not so far from us but they were at the kubo, daddy is hugging mommy from the back and slowly swaying, I smiled.
I took a photo of them and sent it to our family group chat and said "I hope kuya Lu and Alfonso are like daddy when it comes to their wifey".
Kuya Lu saw it already and he replied.
Luis: Excuse me i do that to your ate 'no. Hindi ko lang alam kay Alfonso
I chuckled. Tumayo ako at pumunta sa gawi nila mommy at may sinabi lang saglit saka bumalik sa may pool side para maki pag kwentuhan na kalaunan ay sinalihan din ng mga magulang namin.
"Si Yanne diba nililigawan ni Remz, tita?" Ate Bella asked. Mommy nodded her head making me wrinkle my nose a bit.
"Wala ka kasi nong birthday niya sayang hindi mo nakita" Sulpot ni kuya Matthew.
"Wait i think i still have the video when tito Greggy asked if she have manliligaw tapos tumayo si Remz" Dagdag ni kuya Sandro na ikina excite ni ate Bella. Ayan nanaman sila.
Ilang sandali pa ay nahanap na ni kuya Sandro sa cellphone niya ang video at ipinakita kay ate Bella.
Tinatawanan nila 'yong sa video habang ako ay napa facepalm nalang. Habang lumalalim ang gabi mas lalong lumalalim ang kwentuhan tuloy two AM na kami naka tulog kaya ayon kinabukasan puyat kaming lahat at napagalitan ni mama Meldy.
