-Rj-
We still had that dinner. Both Maine and Jack quietly listening and Gab and I do the questioning.
Yyo and Dreamy promised to tell everything so we, parents promise to try our best to understand.
So the two are not living together. Yyo still stay in our house, and Dreamy stays in their house which is just two streets away.
Lia knew and Yyo asked her to keep it a secret for a while.
They are still going to the university full time.
But Yyo have this part time job at night.
Maine: A part time job???
Maine is starting to show irritation when we came home with Yyo.
Rj: What job? And what--- I mean, obviously, we know what for but---
Yyo: What you give me is enough, I know. But I dont want to ask you for more for Dreamy and our baby's needs. I want to save up for them on my own.
Maine wants to say something but kept it to herself. I know Maine. The last thing she will ever want to is our kids working when we can always provide.
Maine: Quit your job.
Yyo: Mommy naman.
Maine: Anong Mommy naman???!
Yyo: Mom, you promise to understand.
Maine: What--- Rj, kausapin mo yang anak mo, hindi ko na kaya to.
That and she walk out.
" Yyo."
" Dad, I know you understand me."
" Oo naman. I still dont agree with this kind of situation pero andyan na eh. Ayoko din isipin na hindi ka namin napalaki ng tama. But you're Mommy is a different story. Who knows what's in her mind now? Alam mo naman how she over think sometimes. Ngayon pa kaya na, her precious baby Yyo ang involve?"
" I know. Im sorry I didnt keep the promise that I will not make her sad, Dad."
" Its okay, anak. You're not perfect. You are perfectly flawed. We all are. "
" Should I talk to Mommy?"
" Hmm.. Kakausapin ko muna. You really wouldnt want to talk to her now, Yyo. She's still absorbing everything."
"..."
" She'll be fine in no time. Dont worry."
" Dad, I.. I actually tried to tell you and Mommy sooner. Kaso, I dont know how to start."
" Its okay, son. I understand."
" And, Dad, I really want to work for Dreamy. I know---"
" May iniwan na savings ang Nanay mo sayo. I can give you access to that now."
" huh?"
" I was planning to give it to you after you graduate, but since you need it now..--"
" I mean, may iniwan si Nanay sakin?"
" Ah, hindi ko ba nasabi? May iniwan na savings account ang Nanay Nia mo sa iyo. Its not that big when she died, but all her profit share as a share holder ng TFC at RFJ Inc. Doon bumabagsak. It accumulate thru the years. Pwede mo ng gamitin yon."
" 😶 "
" Its your inheritance from your Mother. Lahat ng sa kanya, inilipat namin sa pangalan mo. You were a hundreds of thousand rich at the age of three. "
