Epilogue
"The company is still in the first rank—"
I'm in the middle of my meeting here in Italy when my phone vibrates. No one noticed it so the presentation of the head engineer continued.
I smiled when I took my phone from my pocket and read the notification.
My Love ❤:
😁😗🥰🙃😇
I tried not to laugh my f*cking ass off when I saw the emoticons. It's definitely not Dianara so I'm sure that it's Naia, our two-year-old daughter, who's using her phone right now
I stood up and all of the employees who's inside the conference room looked at me.
"I gotta go. Just send me the copy of the reports on my house, later. You can continue the presentation." I said and left the conference room.
Agad kong tinawagan ang asawa ko nang makarating ako sa opisina.
Ilang segundo lang ay sinagot agad nito.
"Dada!"
I wasn't surprised at all when I realized that it was my daughter who answered it.
I smiled when I heard my two year old daughter's cute voice from the other line. "Hey, princess!"
"Dada!" She screamed and I bet Dianara heard our daughter's exaggerated reaction because I heard the door open and closed. "Oh, my god, Naia! I told you not to disturb, daddy, right?"
"Love,"I called my wife.
"At ikaw naman? Hindi na ako magtataka na wala ka na sa conference room ngayon, sinabihan na kita na kapag nag-send ng kung anu-ano tong si Naia wag mo na muna tawagan." Panenermon niya pa mula sa kabilang linya na ikinatawa ko.
"I just miss my babies." Sagot ko. I bit my lower lip while waiting for her answer.
"We miss you too, but do your work first, hmm? Para pag balik mo rito wala ka nang aalalahanin." She answered.
"Momma. Dada, Momma!" I heard our daughter yell and I tried my very best not to f*ckin' laugh.
"No. I won't give you my phone ever again." I heard my wife's threatening voice.
"Momma?! No."
"Naia, you're hard headed na. I don't like it. Hindi na kita baby, sige!"
"Sowwy, momma! Pwease?"
"Love, she said 'sorry' already." I tried to defend my daughter, but I know better that my wife will always win.
"Halika na, baby kana ulit ni momma. Just promise me 'you won't disturb daddy when he's busy, okay?' and Zihyun?"
"Yes, love?"
"Humanda ka sakin pag-uwi mo. Wag mo na rin muna bilhan ng bagong laruan si Naia. Dumaan dito kanina si Astrid at may laruan na dala."
"Okay, love."
"Kailan ang uwi mo?"
"Tomorrow, morning."
"Hmm, okay. Naia, say bye na kay daddy." She called for our daughter. "Dada?"
"Yes, babe?"
