Tomorrow With You

Epilogue

"Harvey! Wag kang sumuot diyan!" Sigaw ni Declan nang bigla siyang sumuot sa malaking paper bag.

"Daddy! Look at my nails, Kaleigh painted those with pink." Anang maliit na boses ni Elias habang pinapakita ang kaniyang mga daliri.

"Dada..." Kaleigh walks to Declan.

She's two years old but she can already speak and walk straight.

"Daddy, I want Ice cream! Can you please buy me chocolate and marshmallow?" Malambing ang boses ni Harvey nang lumapit kay Declan.

Napahilot na lamang ng sentido si Declan hanggang sa napapikit nang sumigaw si Elias.

"Daddy! Look at me! I saw my costume when I joined nutrition month! I'm so red!" Sigaw ni Elias habang umiikot at suot ang strawberry costume niya.

Hinubad ito ni Declan sa anak at baka madapa pa ito.

"You'll wear it later but not now, baby." Mahinahon na ani Declan sa anak.

"Daddy! I want Ice cream! Buy me please!" Sigaw ni Harvey.

Binuhat ni Declan si Kaleigh nang muntik na matamaan ni Harvey ang kapatid dahil sa katatalon.

"Harvey! Daddy commands you to stop jumping. You almost hurt your sister." Declan tried to not raise her voice in front of his son and never stare at him so they won't take his discipline in a bad way.

"Sorry, princess." Harvey said while kissing his sister's cheeks.

"Ang tagal ni Mommy!" Sigaw ni Elias.

Lumapit naman si Declan kay Elias habang buhat ang bunsong anak.

"Elias, can you please lower down your voice? If our neighbors hear your loud voice, they will call the barangay and will report us, do you want that?" He used his soft voice to make his son understand him.

Napameywang naman si Elias na sinagot ang ama. "Daddy, our neighbors are our friends po, they will not report us." Katuwiran niya.

"And we are helping the barangay po, I'm sure they will not put us into a penalty." Aniya pa.

Huminga ng malalim si Declan. "Elias, we're helping because that's the right thing to do not because we can be an exemption to every rule our community has. We're not helping only for our goods. We are helping because people need it. Do you understand Daddy?"

Elias nodded. That means he really understands. Kapag hindi, sasagot ito at mangangatuwiran.

"I want mommy!" Harvey shouted.

"Babies, Mommy's having alone and rest time. She's been taking care of you every day and it's not a joke. Let her rest for a day, okay? Mamaya, uuwi na rin siya." Ginulo niya ang buhok ng dalawang anak na lalaki saka sila pumunta sa playroom.

Agad na nag labas ng laruan ang dalawang batang lalaki habang siya naman ay nilalaro ang anak na babae.

Kaleigh tries to reach for her father's face while Declan is avoiding her.

"You played with Kuya Elias' nails and now you want to play with Dada's face, huh?" Malambing na sambit niya habang ikinukuskos ang ilong sa mukha at leeg ng anak.

"Where's mama?" Mahinang tanong ni Kaleigh.

"She's in the spa, together with your Lola Nanay and Lola Mommy." Declan answered while hugging her baby princess.

"Lolo tay..." She mumbled while crawling now.

"They are playing billiards, baby." He answered.

Katulong ni Declan at Aleah ang kanilang mga magulang sa pag aalaga sa kanilang tatlong anak. It's saturday, kanina kasama niya pa ang si Tay Dani at ang Daddy niya pero nag aya ang mga kaibigan nila dito sa village na mag laro ng billiard sa function hall ng billiard.
