"Hal, are you heading out?" Vince asks when he noticed Halley was about to leave Emman's office.
"Uhm-yeah," she nodded.
"Where are you going?"
"At the coffee shop, I'll just go grab some fresh new batch of brownies."
"Kulang pa ito?" Vince unbelievably asks.
"Kulang na kulang, pa!"
"What?!" He laughed then pinches her nose. "Takaw talaga!"
"Hmp!" Halley frowned then take off her papa's hand from her nose. "I'll go now, papa."
"Want me to drop you off?"
"No need, just fetch me na lang po later."
"Sure?"
"Yup, see you guys later!"
Halley reached her papa to kiss him goodbye before she turned to her Ninong Andrei and Tito Emman.
"Please behave po kayo dito, no kalokohan! Especially you papa!"
"Behave 'to ah," Vince told her.
"Oo sa sobrang behave sinurprise ka ng baby brother!" Andrei threw his line making them all burst into laughter.
"Sige na po, I'll go."
"Wait, kulang pa."
Andrei stops Halley.
"Bakit papa mo lang may goodbye kiss? Pano naman kaming pogi mong Tito at Ninong?"
"Ninong, I'm too old for that."
"C'mon you always do it since before.
"Fine, fine!"
Halley giggles then pulled them all for a tight embrace before she pinches their noses.
"Love you all!"
"We love you too, kulet."
"Tito!"
"You'll always be our sweet and makulit—"
"Wait 'till you spend a day with babie, Dan!"
Vince smiled after hearing those words from his daughter, to be honest, he didn't think things would turn out like this.
"Sige na, go ahead. Ingat ka, sweet bean."
He said then planted a kiss on her forehead.
"Bye, love you most old bean."
Halley waved goodbye to them with a smile until she made it outside, it's always fun to be with them, she thought.

"Hey, are you sure about this?" Gio asks.
"Yeah," Abbey replied with a smile.
"Gusto mo samahan na kita?"
"Thank you but no need, I can do this. Besides, I really have to talk with her alone."
"Okay, just call me when you need me."
"Yes, thanks for the ride, Gio."
Gio helped Abbey unbuckled her seatbelt before he reached her then planted a kiss on her forehead.
"Just please tell dad and mum that I'm with you when they call and ask," Abbey requested.
