M&E's Burthday Bash (part 1)

At Beach Resort...

The most awaited moment of the Gomez family finally happened.

The twins' birthday originally happened in May but exclusively celebrated within their family only.

Nevertheless, knowing Gomez's closeness to their friends, they decided to celebrate it again with their entire barkada.

Richard together with his kids was currently busy preparing the venue for the event as their guests have not yet arrived.

"Papa! Look at Paul oh, he's not helping us!" Sofia complained.

"Oo nga, papa! He keeps playing with Basty and the twins lang!" Hope added.

"Huy, I'm helping ah," Paul teasingly smiled at them, "I'm keeping them entertained."

"But that's not what we told you to do, Paul!"

"What do you want me to do, Hopia?"

"Paul Taleon Gomez, you're not allowed to call me that!"

"Eh, what do you want me to do nga? I'm not good in decorating, alam niyo yan."

"You should at least help us prepare the venue," Hope gently slapped his arms.

"Yeah, at least help us with the boxes and balloons," Sofia added then frowned at him.

She was about to hit her brother too when Richard stopped them.

"Kayong tatlo, that's enough," Richard walked towards them, "Paul help your sisters."

"But Pa, you all know I'm no good in dec—"

"Just helped them in whatever they need so we can finish here fast, anong oras na oh."

"Fine, fine, I'll do it," Paul just agreed since he was just messing around Hope and Sofia, "still the same two pikons."

"Why so mang-iinis, Paul?!" The two ladies keep frowning at him.

Hope, Paul, and Sofia kept exchanging their banters to each one as they work on setting up everything while Richard was watching and helping them too.

"I'll go check the food and drinks inside, are you three will be fine here?" Richard suddenly asked them.

"Will check the f and d or si mama, papa?" Paul grinned at him.

"What's the difference?" He jokingly replied to Paul, making them all laughed, "Just kiddin' I'll take Basty and the twins with me."

"Go ahead, Pa, we'll be fine here. Take your time, everything will be settled when you guys return," his kids assured him.

The kids quickly ran towards their papa to bid goodbye for a while as Richard gently carries the twins and let Basty hold in his waist before leaving his eldest three outside to take charge of the venue for later.

"Mama!" Basty ran towards Dawn as soon as they saw her.

Even the twins who were still in Richard's arms kept calling her and almost pulling their papa to walked them fast.

"Oh, you're all here?" Dawn asked then welcomed them with a hug.

Dawn had been in charge to manage their cooks who prepared the menu for the celebration.

She made sure that the dishes wouldn't only be enjoyed by the adults, but the kids will also do.

"Love, I just want to check if you need any help here. Yung tatlo they're busy preparing outside too."
