My driver stopped the car in front of our mansions gate.
It automatically opened and my driver drove the car inside.
From inside the car I could see my mother's garden.
Beautiful as always
She loves flowers, she's more like one of those 'ultimate plantitas' one of the trates I inherited from her...
I also love flowers, infact it's one of the things that brought me and mom closer.
I slimed at the thought of that.
The car stopped in front of the mansions door.
My driver got out and opened the car door for us.
As soon as we stepped outside I looked at Eliena.. she's smiling and looked at me at the same time.
"I'm excited to see granny and grandpa again, mommy.." she smiled and then held my hand.
"Me too honey.." I smiled at her and we started to walk to the door.
"I wonder if granny and grandpa looks the same.. Hmm.." nilagay nya pa yung hintutoro at hinlalaki nya sa chin at bahagyang parang nag iisip. "What do you think mommy?.. like did they get older? do they have more wrinkles on their faces now? is their hair white now? what do you think mommy?"
Susmeyo itong batang 'to kahit ano ano nalang pinag iisip HAHAHAHHAHA.
"It's only been three years since they left sweetie I'm sure they still look the same" Sabi ko pa habang natatawa.
Pinag buksan kami ng guard at pumasok na kami sa loob.
May mga nag bago naman, may mga bago ng gamit, paint and iba pa.
The giant crystal chandelier is still there though, di pa nila pinalitan.
"Grandma!! Grandpa!!" sigaw ni Eliena at tumakbo pa. Napatingin naman ako sa direksyon na tinakbuhan nya at nakita ko sila mommy and daddy.
I smiled and lumapit ako sakanila.
"Our little flower..." sabi ni mom and yumuko pa para ma hug si Eli.
Hinaplos rin ni dad yung buhok nya.
Lumapit ako sakanila at nag mano.
"Dad.. Mom.." nginitian ko sila at hinug sila isa isa.
"My petal.. I missed you.."
"Oh.. you're right mommy, grandma and grandpa still looks the same.."
"Why little flower? did you expect granny and grandpa to look diferent?" natatawa pang tanong ni mom.
"Yes.. I thought you'd look older granny hihihi" nahihiya pang sabi ni Eli at natawa naman kaming lahat.
"How about we all go to the table and let's have our dinner" sabi ni dad habang natatawa pa.
Nag lakad na kami papunta sa dining area at pinag hila kami ng mga maids ng upuan at nag prepare na ng food as harapan namin.
Me and my parent are close, closer than you think. They have supported me in everything I do,disciplines me to do the right thing and loves me with all their heart.
What can I say? I'm an only child after all.
Even when they found out I was pregnant.. they never left me, they've been taking good care of me ever since.
"Shall we?" I asked them so that we could finally eat.
"Not yet petal.. we're still waiting for—" mom didn't finish her sentence when someone spoke in the background.
"We're here...!"
Nilingon ko ang pinang galingan ng boses na yun at dun na nag bago ang timpla at takbo ng gabi ko.
Why are they here??!!
Bakit nandito ang mom and dad ni Elijah??? I thought kami lang?
Tumayo sila mom and dad at sinalubong sila tita Val and tito Rick na naka ngiti.
Nag beso beso silang apat at di ko namalayang naka tulala pala ako habang naka tingin sa kanila.
Tumayo na rin ako para pag bati at pag galang, ngumiti ng rin ako kahit peke.
I know wala silang kasalanan sa nangyari between me and Elija.. ginagalang at nirerespeto ko parin sila, lalo nat matalik na mag kaibigan sila ng parents ko.
"Marielle.." bati sakin ni tita.
Ngumiti lang ako at umupo na..
"Oh please have a seat.." sabi pa ni mom.
Gosh this is so awkward
Alam ng parents ni Elijah ang nangyaring pag hihiwalay namin pero hindi nila alam yung tungkol sa anak ko.
Only me and my parents know about that.
Kahit ganon ang nangyari samin ni Elijah na sinaktan ako ng magaling nilang anak, eh di parin naman Nawala yung friendship ng parents namin.
Eksaktong pagka upo ng parents ni Elijah ay napatingin sila kay Eliena na kumakain na ng pasta nya.
Hihi ang cute mukhang gutom na gutom baby ko
"And who's this beautiful little girl? " tanong ng dad ni Elijah.
Ngumiti naman ako sakanya.
"She's my daughter, tito" napatingin naman silang lahat sakin.
Naka ngiti sila mom and dad habang yung parents ni Elijah may pagka gulat sa mukha.
Apo nyo rin ho..
"O-oh well who's the father?" tanong ni tita pero bakas ang pagka gulat sa tono.
Anak nyo ho..
Ngumiti ako at tsaka nag sip muna sa wine ko.
"Asawa ko po tita.."
Nag tinignan pa silang dalawa at tumingin ulit sakin.
Nilagay ko ang wine glass ko sa table and tumungin sa anak ko..
Hmm she looks like she doesn't care at all..
"W-we're happy for you iha" sabi ni tita at ngumiti ng pilit sa 'kin. Hinawakan pa ni tito yung kamay ni tita at ngumiti na bahagyang nang hihinayang.
Since pagka bata namin gusto na ng parents namin na kami ang magka tuluyan pero dahil sa gago nilang anak di nangyari 'yon.
"Shall we?" pag basag ni dad sa nabuong katahimikan.
Nag simula na kaming kumain at nag kwentohan naman sila mom, dad, tita and tito about sa mga pinag kaka abalahan nila these past few years.
"So where's your son Elijah?"
Natigilan ako sa pag nguya dahil sa biglang pag tanong nun ni dad.
"Yes.. where is he? I haven't seen that boy in years" si mommy.
"Oh.. hahaha I told him to come so that he could meet all of you again but he said he was busy" naka ngiting sabi pa ni tita.
"But I do hope he would change his mind and come here" si Tito.
"Is he still ashamed about what he did to my daughter?" walang emosyon na sabi ni dad na napa tingin sa 'kin.
Nag sip lang ako ulit sa wine ko and pinaka kita na wala akong pakialam.
"Oh he's—" di natapos ni tita ang sasabihin nya nung biglang.
"Sorry I'm late"
Tss..
