"Mommy? I think that's Uncle Malcolm car."  Tinuro ni Flame ang katabing kotse sa parking.

"You think so? Baka naman pareho lang na-Range Rover." Bumaba ako para tingnan. Well, I'm not sure kung ano ang titingnan ko. I don't even remember the placard.

"Look at the placard, mommy. It's the same combination like what Uncle Malcolm has. Look!" Torch said while opening his window.

Oh, well. I don't know. But the kids remembered, they say.

"Maybe, he wasn't bluffing after all." I muttered to myself. Oh well, Wayne already left us. Pumasok na siya sa mansion ng mga Anjos.

"Come on. Let's check your Uncle Malcolm inside the household." I opened the door for them.

"Thanks, mommy!"

I asked one of the maids if the Anjos has a visitor.

"Yes, ma'am. They probably in the dinning by now."

"Really? Okay. Thanks."

I heard chatters when I almost reach the dinning room.

"That child grew up into a stubborn brat. How was she when she was on her early twenties? She probably like parties when she was in that age." I stop on my tracks when I heard the old patriarch said.

"No, Eusebeo. She was busy taking care of her children. She even barely went to shopping back then. Mama has to drag her out of the house so she would make time for herself." My heart squirmed in Malcolm's remark.

"Oh, dear! She got pregnant early. It was probably hard for her." It was Diana's voice.

So, what if it was hard for me? I don't need her pity.

"I see. She never mentioned about the father of her kids. My private investigator found nothing too. You might want to tell us about him."

Nosy, old man. It was none of his business.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you, Senior Eusebeo. She never told anyone about it."

"Look what we have here." Nagpakita na ako sa kanila. "A fancy dinner front to roast my brother."

"You're just in time. Have a seat, children." Eusebeo invited us.

My children settled on the chair kaya naupo na rin ako. I put caviar and saffron on my plate.

"So, lets get straight into the point. I know you won't simply buy this friendly dinner."

"I'm glad you know that." Bahagya kong sinulyapan si Eusebeo.

"Blaizze honey, remember I made a promise to Wayne's grandfather that someday we will be family?"

"What about it?"

"We have to fulfill that. You have to marry Wayne soon. You're not getting any younger, so is he. I am sure your children won't mind having Wayne to be their daddy, right children?"

"This oyster is very spicy, don't you think, Flame? Torch?" Light said while plucking the oyster with her fork.

"Yeah. Too spicy that it's burning my mouth." Flame responded. Then he drank his water.

"Can we have milk please?" Torch asked my grandfather.

Pinigilan kong mangiti sa pag-iwas ng mga bata sa tanong ng matanda. They dodge it as if they never heard the question. I saw Malcolm smiled. He surely proud of his niece and nephews.
