"Hey dear! How's your school!?"
Mommy. Then kiss our forehead.
Actually,kararating lang nila… quarter to 8pm. Galing work. Kami nagdidinner na… As in dalawa lang kami ng kapatid ko sa dinning table.
"Hi mom,hi dad!"
Greet namin ni Aleisha.
"Okay naman po! We have already friends there…right ate!?"
Aleisha
"Yahh!"
Respond ko
Then umupo na sila mommy at daddy… dinala naman ni Nani yung bag nila sa taas!
Btw,Nani is our maid. But we treat her as part of our family. Since child kasi siya na yung nagbabantay saming magkapatid. You know naman, too busy sina mommy and daddy!
"Glenda, kuha ka pa ng plato…"
Utos ni Nani to other maid…
"No Nani. Fresh lemon juice nalang."
Reject ni mommy.
"Mom,di niyo po ba kami sasabayan mag dinner!?"
Aleisha
"Oo nga po… too long narin po ng last po tayo magkasama during dinner!"
I combustibles.
"I'm sorry babies. But I already dine e! Don't worry,Daddy will partake you both…"
"Yes! I will partake you."
I know na napilitan lang si daddy.
Mabilis na natapos si daddy. Pero sinamahan parin naman nila kami sa dinning table.
Tahimik ang lahat. Kaming magkapatid,busy sa pagkain. Sila mommy naman I think pinapanuod kami.
Suddenly, Aleisha break the Ice(Idiomatic Expression; Ice means silent)
"Ate, your birthday is already nearly!right?"
I just smiled. Means yes.
She smiled too
"Mom, dad. What's your plan for ate's birthday!?"
Tanong niya.
"Ate, I want to go to Baguio. Or Tagaytay. Dun natin icelebrate birthday mo! What do you think mom and dad!?"
Then stare kina mommy.
Nagtinginan Sila both. Nangungusap ang mga mata ni mommy. I noticed it.
"Hahaha! Who is the Celebrant ba!?"
Question ko kay aleisha
"Of course yours! My birthday was already done kaya."
She answered
"O! Bakit ikaw ang nagpaplan about my birthday! Diba nung birthday mo ikaw ang nagplan because that's your birthday… And now, It's my turn to plan mine."
"Eeeeiiishh… daddy o… Ate started quarrel me!"
Pout niya.
I immediately laugh. laugh as I can. And loud as I can.
"Hahahaha… I'm just kidding my little sister… "
Then I immediately stand from my seat and hug my little sis.
"Heehee… I love you…"
Then our parent was laugh too.
After a while back to normal.
Silent attacks us… halos yung sound lang ng plato, kutsara&tinidor ang maririnig.
Suddenly, nagsalita si mommy.
"Ahhmmm… Babies!"
Then daddy stare to mommy
"Remember the Allegiance!?"
Nagkasalubong ang tingin namin ni Aleisha. Parang nababasa ko ang isip ng INA ko…
"Why po Mommy…Is there something happen!?"
I asked
"Ahm. Your Uncle Michael kasi. He was call me kanina… She said that the Allegiance is already nearly. So, this week I need to go there…"
" When did you come back po!?"
I asked.
Nagtinginan sila ni Daddy… Nangungusap ang mga mata nila both. I think my something
"Ne…next month!"
She Spatter.
"Next month!? But ate's birthday is in this month na po! So your not here at that time!?"
React ni aleisha
Napatingin si mommy saken.
Naka nod kasi ako. Then stare kay daddy. And back to me ang tingin niya.
"Leinna,anak… Sorry baby. Promise, I will do process to back here immediately."
She was about to touch my hand ng tumayo ako.
"Excuse me! akyat na po ako…"
Lea's pov'
"Leinna,anak… Sorry baby. Promise, I will do process to back here immediately."
U was about to touch her hand ng tumayo siya..
"Excuse me! akyat na po ako…"
"leinna wait!"
I was about to stand from my seat ng biglang hinawakan ni aga kamay ko.
"Babes. Better siguro kung hayaan muna natin siya. I know na maiintindihan ka niya."
No choice ako kundi sumunod.
Umupo ulit ako. Iniisip ko if how can I convince my daughter aleinna to understand my side.
Tinitingnan ko si Aleisha. She cannot look at me or even to Aga. Naka nod lang siya. I think she's grouch with me.
"Baby!"
Lumingon siya.
"Are you hatred!?"
Di siya nagrespond.
"Babes… Ako nalang ang kakausap sa kanila. Let me handle this!"
Aga's whispered.
Umakyat na ako sa taas.
But before I go to our bedroom, dumaan ako sa room ni aleinna.
*knock*
"Aleinna… Please. Kausap mo naman ako!"
" Magpapahinga na po ako…"
"Please…"
Wala nang nagrespond. Pumunta na ako sa kwarto ko.
EULA POV
Nandito ako sa Mall.
*Call's ringtone*
"Hello! Eula…"
"Tita, napatawag po kayo!?"
"Where are you na ba!? Kanina pa kasi pabalik balik si Marvin dito, looking for you."
"Nandito pa po ako sa Mall… But I'm on my way na po Tita."
"O sige. I will tell him nalang. Take care!"
"Thanks tita"
BTW, si tita beth, siya yung tita ko na nagpalaki saken since my Mother died. 5 years old palang ako when my mother died.
Habang nagmamadali ako sa paglalakad ko, suddenly napadaan ako sa store na purely for babies and tinda.
Napatigil ako sa paglalakad ko. Naalala ko kasi yung long lost daughter ko. Si Baby Jiah… Nawala siya saken because of my bitch fucking maid.
Flashback*Someone POV
"Babe, ikaw na muna bahala kay Jiah ha! I need to attend this scenes e!"
Eula said to her husband. Christian Vasquez.
"Okay babe, Take care!"
Christian
"You take care too. Don't forsake our daughter ha!"
Eula
"Ofcourse… Why should I do that! She's also my daughter kaya!"
Christian's jest
"Hahaha! Sinisigurado ko lang po mahal ko!"
"Heehee. Di mo na kailangang isigurado yan my queen… because I will devise that for the sake of our princess…" then Christian gave a peck to Eula's cheeks.
"Christian, dumadamoves ka nanaman ha! Sige na, aalis na ako…"
Eula
"Bye baby ko!"
Then kiss kay baby Jiah habang kalung-kalung ito ng tagapag-alaga niya.
Baby Jiah gave to her mommy a sweetiest and first smiled.
And Eula noticed it.
"Wooww… Babe,did you see her.
She's already smile me. Heehee… Baby you make me empt."
Christian laugh.
"Kaya bilisan mong umuwi Babe."
Christian
"I love you Baby ko…"
Saka pinugpug ng halik.
