*Grey's POV*
"No but I like ice cream much much more than chocolate bars."
She took a spoonful of her ice cream and put it in her mouth.
I chuckled.
"What about chocolate ice cream? Aren't they the same thing?" I asked my daughter habang nanonood kami ng movie dito sa salas ng villa.
"Daddy when it is called chocolate ice cream, then it is just one thing! Ugh, you know that naman eh why are you still asking?"
Napatawa ako at napakamot sa ulo ko. I feel like she got my attitude. But her calling me Daddy makes my heart jump for joy and excitement.
I want to make up to her. Gusto ko magpaka-tatay sa kanya as hard as I can. Masyado na madaming oras at araw na nasayang dahil di ko sya kasama. At ayoko na madagdagan pa yun.
"You wanna go for a swim Zoe?" I asked her.
"Maybe next time nalang po. Baka madumi pa yung sea because of the storm"
"Oh.. yeah sorry I forgot about that. But..."
I smiled as she looked at me.
"But what Daddy?"
I took out the small pink velvet box in my pocket.
"I have a gift for you. It's from the ocean"
Her face lit up with excitement. "Gift?! I loooove gifts! What is that Daddy?!"
She came up to me while biting her lips. Giddily and impatiently waiting for me to open the box.
I chuckled. I slowly opened it and she jumped for joy the moment she saw it.
"Kyaaaaa! I love it Daddy! Pink sea shells anklet!" She hugged my gift and I and kissed my cheek.
What a sweet kid.
"Thank you Daddy!"
"You're welcome baby, here, look. It also has your name."
I showed her the anklet. Each of the pink shells has the letters Z O E.
"I loooove it even more!" She continued to jump and express her joy and excitement.
I watched her with my heart full of overwhelming feeling. Ganito pala ang pakiramdam na makita ang anak mo na masaya. And not to mention; I'm the cause of her happiness right now. This moment is priceless.
"Isuot mo na sakin Daddy please!"
I chuckled. "Okay, calm down smurf"
I kneeled down at ikinabit ko sa paa nya ang anklet.
"There. Happy?"
"Yes! Except for the part that you called me smurf" she rolled her eyes and pouted. "But I'll let it pass now because I really love your gift" she giggled.
I smiled and hugged her. "Very well."
She hugged me back and we continued to watch Disney movies.
Habang nanonood kami ay di ko mapigilan mapag masdan sya. Talagang nakikita ko ang sarili ko at si Rocky sa kanya. Is that possible? Or am I just being a psycho? Oh well, maybe I am just too happy na kasama ko ang anak ko ngayon.
Napansin kong hindi sya mapakali at malikot sya. Lagi nya hinahawakan at tinitingnan ang anklet na bigay ko sa kanya.
She really do love it.
I smiled with pride while looking at her.
She suddenly looked at me and bit her lip. "Daddy?"
"Yes Zoe?"
