"Mommy, bakit pa tayo bibisita kayla Grandma Sapphire? They'll hurt you again." Sabi ni Auleona habang inaayos ko ang gamit namin.

Napatingin naman ako kay Lenuel at napabuntong hininga. Lumuhod ako para magkapantay kami. Hinawakan ko siya sa balikat at inayos ang kanyang damit.

She must've traumatized last time. The last time we visit Mom and I had a argument and she hit me. Auleona saw that and she started to cry. Now, natatakot na siya kapag naririnig niya na bibisita kami kela Mom.

"Your Grandpa misses you, anak," I said in a low voice. "Don't worry, I'll be fine," I said and I gave her my assuring smile.

"But..." 

"Daddy will tag along. Grandma won't hurt Mommy." Sabi ni Lenuel. Binuhat na niya si Auleona at kinuha ang gamit namin. Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at umalis na ng bahay.

Tahimik lang si Auleona sa backseat at kinakalikot ang kanyang seatbelt. She's really worried. I sighed and closed my eyes. Hinawakan naman ni Lenuel ang kamay ko habang nag mamaneho siya. He glanced at me and he smiled. I smiled back.

Humilig ako sa bintana at muling bumuntong hininga. Natatakot ako sa pwedeng mangyari. Kung ay kaya kong saluhin ang mga sinasabi ni Mommy na masasakit na salita ngayon natatakot na ako. Auleona is still a kid pero naiintindihan na niya ang mga pinag uusapan ng matatanda.

Nakarating na kami sa bahay at nakababa na kami ni Lenuel ng sasakyan pero ayaw pa rin bumaba ni Auleona. She's hesitant. I understand that.

"Mommy, Daddy, let's go home..." sabi naman ni Auleona.

"Shush, Daddy's here." Lenuel said. Napatingin naman si Auleona sakanya. Sa wakas ay tinanggal na ni Auleona ang kanyang seatbelt at bumaba ng sasakyan. She held our hands.

Sabay sabay kaming pumasok sa loob. Nasa hapag sila Mom and Dad along with my cousins. I didn't know they're here.

"Oh my god! Fliona!" Lia hugged me as soon as she saw me. I smiled a bit and hugged her as well. I did it to my other cousins as well.

"She's your daughter? She's pretty." Mirco said to my daughter. Auleona used her snob's face and didn't answer. "She's like you, though."

I grinned. "Thank you."

Naupo na kami at naghanda na sila ng pagkain. Tanging tunog lamang ng kubyertos ang nagsisilbing ingay saamin. Napatingin naman ako sa anak ko. Halos hindi siya nakain ng maayos. Ayaw niya na talaga dito.

"How's your school, apo?" Daddy asked.

"It's good po, Grandpa," Auleona said.

"Are you ok?"

"I am po, Grandpa." Auleona sighed.

"Do you have friends in school?"

"I have po, Grandpa."

"She's not interested to talk to you," Mommy laughed.

"No, it's not like that. I just don't like it here."

"Auleona..." saway ni Lenuel sa marahan na boses. Auleona pouted.

"How's the company?" I diverted the topic. Napatingin naman sila saakin tumikhim si Mommy bago sumagot.

"It's doing fine," Mommy said.

"Thanks to?"

"What? Of course thanks to me." She said.

I smirked. She still thinks that I'm fucking dumb. Binaba ko ang kubyertos ko at sumandal sa upuan.

"Thanks to Abuelo." I corrected her. Her jaw dropped. "I'll be taking the company soon."
