Be with You

Chapter twenty four

Know I understand why most of the parents felt so emotional seeing their child walking on the stage wearing toga—seeing Frank and Isabella graduate as Magna Cum Laude and got more medals. I felt more proud even though I'm not their parents, I was their teacher also teaching them and helping them with their acads. I am rooting for them and for their success in life I know this kid will be more successful near in the future.

"Congrats!" I hugged them and kissed their both cheeks. Isabella looks so good in her white toga underneath her white solid tie-back flounce hem dress. I'm the one who did her make-up and it suits her well!

"Congrats baby Frank!" Frank's eyes widened and his ears turn red. We laughed at his reaction he is so adorable! 

"Thank you, Tita. You don't have to say that. It's embarrassing." he roamed his eyes and bowed his head. He looks so good also in his black trousers slim fit tucked in with his white stripes long sleeves paired with Nike blazer mid 77. Cool kid ang ferson. 

"Please? Tita?" He added.Stacey laughed and hugged him. Mahilig talaga kami tuksuhin siya dahil hindi madali mapikon at parang batang pinahiya ng kaniyang kaklase.

"Oh sure, man." Stacey smiled. Frank pinched Stacey's cheeks and hugged her back. 

"Let's go celebrate your day guys. Your grandmother's and grandfather's are waiting." aya ng asawa ni Je. Tumango kami at sumunod sa kanila.

"Why are you crying?" I asked Je when she kept on wiping her tears.

"I can't believe my child is entering med-school. They grew up fast." she sobbed.

"Come on, stop being a cry-mom. They'll be forever your babies." ngumuso siya.

"Right, Mom. So stop crying na you look ugly when you're crying!" tumawa si Isabella. Umirap ang kaniyang Ina at niyakap ang anak. 

Sumakay sa akin si Ciy dahil hindi niya dala ang kaniyang sasakyan... ulit. Nagpatugtog lang kami ng musika para hindi boring sa loob ng sasakyan.

Mga ilang oras na biyahe ay dumating kami sa isang mamahaling restaurant. Pagkapasok naming ay binati kami ng isang babae at ginaya kung saan ang table. Sa hindi malayo nandoon na ang family ni Je, Jacob, at mga Tita's nila. 

"Doc Plavin!" Doc Stella Terrence called me, Dr. Jacob's mother. I smiled and waved my hand at her.

"Good afternoon, Doc." I kissed her cheek as soon as I arrive at the table. She looks expensive with her Zimmerman rosa striped midi dress plus her gold accessories.

"I like your dress! Where did you get it?" she asked when she gazed at my white Jacquemus esca draped mini dress and black heels. 

"Jacquemus dra." I shyly said. Napaawang ang labi niya at napatango-tango. Inaya niya kaming umupo. Nasa harap ako ni Jel at katabi ko naman si Stacey.

"It's a Zimmerman dress right?" Dra. Stella asked Stacey. Grabe kapag nagkikita talaga kami Dra tinatanong niya kung anong brand at kung saan ko 'yon nakuha.
