Celestine's POV

it's been three weeks since nung naka uwi kami nila mommy dito sa Manila, everything still feels the same parin naman, nothing much has changed and i actually quite like it, kasi i expected it to be chaotic once e comeback here pero it's not as bad as how i imagined it to be. 

Na announce narin ni mommy sa buong org ang tungkol saakin and nag sorry narin sila ma'am Amelia at iba kong co-worker dati, maayos naman ang buhay ko ngayon, minsan nakakailang lang kasi may mga body guards ako, di ko naman masisisi sila mommy na mag assigning body guard para sakin kasi delikado nga Naman, kaya hinyaan ko nalang at inintindi.

Habang gumagawa Ng mga requirements ko Nakita ko na may mga missed calls Ako at undead messages, kasi kapag nag-aaral Ako nilalayo ko Yung phone ko sakin para walang distractions, anyways ng nakita ko puro missed calls ni Markus, nakalimutan ko pala siyang sabihan na naka silent yung phone ko, oo alam ko hindi kami at wala naman kaming obligations sa isa't isa for now, pero respeto ko sakaniya yun bilang manliligaw ko, agad ko naman siyang tinawagan at agad niya rin itong sinagot 

*on call 

Markus: Lex okay ka lang ba? i've been waiting for your replies kanina pa and di mo rin sinasagot yung phone mo, is everything alright? may problem ka ba?

Celestine: HAHAHAHA your so funny, i was just doing my requirements.. forgot to tell you tht i placed my phone on silent mode... hihi sorry

Markus: hey you got me worried, i was so uneasy the whole time 

Celestine: sorry na nga, anyways why ba?

Markus: wala i just miss you and i really want hear you voice

Celestine: sus! markus style mo bulok. 

Markus: im serious miss na talaga kita.

Celestine: well i miss you too, but hey i have to end this call na i still have lots of things to do, talk to you later tonight okay?

Markus: yes lady boss, take care

Celestine: yeah you too.

*end call 

i just did the rest of my homework and sakto around mga 5 i heard  mommy's car na sa baba, so went downstairs na para salubungin si mommy.

"hi mommy!" i greeted her as i waved in front of the door

"hi sweetie! i miss you" mommy replied  as she walked towards my direction

"how was your day po mommy? kamusta na po yung org?" i asked 

"work was as usual tiring but very fun anak, i really missed you" mommy said and hugged 

"i missed you too mommy!" i said as i hugged her tighter 

"pasok na po tayo mommy, par you can rest na" i insisted

we just went inside the house and mommy went to her room muna to get comfy na rin

habang hinihintay si mommy i decided na mag luto nalang ng dinner for all of us since babalik na rin si tita imee galing sa long business trip niya with kua Matthew.

"manang Esther?" tawag ko kay manang habang papunta sa kusina

"Celestine andito ako sa kusina, bakit anong kailangan mo?" tanong naman ni manang 

"Manang samahan niyo po ako luto po tayo ng dinner para saating lahat" pag-yaya ko 

"ang sweet mo talaga Tin, ano ba lulutuin natin?" 

"uhmm siguro yung favortia nalang po nila, uhmm Pinakbet nalang po siguro" sambit ko naman 

"ah sakto nagpadala ang tito bong bong  mo ng mga gulay galing ilocos  sariwang sariwa pa, teka kukunin ko dun sa likod" 

"sige po manang salamat po" sambit ko naman habang nag susuot ng apron 

nag simula nakong magluto at nag hiwa ng mga gulay, narinig ko naman na tinatawag ako ni mommy 

"tin sweetie where are you?" sambit ni mommy habang 

"kitchen po mommy!" sambit ko naman 

*kitchen

"oh what are you cooking anak? you need help?" tanong ni mommy 

"cooking pinakbet for everybody mommy! no na mommy kaya na namin toh ni manang esther, relax ka nalang jan mommy okay?" i said in reply

"oh wow! sige anak i'll watch you nalang" mommy said as she sat on the counter table and stared at me 

"mommy na coconcious ako sayo.. puwede ka po manood pero grabeh naman yung titig mommy HAHAHAHAHAHA" i said as i laughed at mommy

"why im just watching you lang naman HAHAHAHA"  she laughed

Irene's POV

im so happy to see my daughter like this, she remains so affectionate and loving towards us, i just cant get enough of her sweetness. kahit pa meron ng nanliligaw sakaniya she still reassures me and her dad na kami parin ang priority niya and that makes me feel mo secured, i think lahat naman ng magulang nakakaramdam ng ganito kapag dumating na yung anak nila sa stage na nililigawan na o nagnliligaw na. siguro mas grabe lang ang separation anxiety ko when it comes to celestine kasi hindi ko naman siyang nakitang lumaki. 

"mommy okay ka lang parang ang tahimik mo po?" sambit ni tin sakin sabay tapik sa balikat ko 

"ha? oh wala lang HAHAHAHAHa im just tired lang anak" sagot ko naman

"mommy sa sala ka nalang po kaya para mas comfortable ka dun?" pag alok ni tin

"are you sure you dont need mommy's help anak?" i said as i stood u and walked towards her 

"yes po mommy okay lang po ako.. malapit narin po toh matapos kaya sa sala na po kayo mag pahinga oki?" she said in reply and hugged me

i went to the living room and was just reading magazines when suddenly someone covered my eyes and kissed my cheeks 

"greggy hahahaha, hon stop" i said habang tinatanggal ang kamay na naka takip sa mata ko 

agad naman iton tinggal kaya nilingon ko ang nasa likod ko

"hi honey!" greggy greeted as he handed me a bouquet of my favorite flowers 

"awww honey! what's the occasion today? hindi naman natin anniversary ah" 

"wala lang, i just wanted to give you flowers cause you desrve it for being the best wife and best mom to our three angels" he said as he grabbed my hips ang kissed my cheek

"nako nako! ang honey ko nag lalambing. thank you for these flowers hon their wonderful. i love you" i said as i kissed him back

"asan ang prinsesa natin?" he then asked as he let of our kiss

"nasa kitchen hon, nagluluto ng dinner for everybody daw" i answered

"wow! i'll go see her lang hon ha?" greggy said

"okay hon lalagay ko lang togn flowers sa vase" 

pumunta na si greggy sa kitchen habang ako naman ay umkyat muna sa room namin par mailagay ko na tong flowers.

ang saya na ng pamilya ko wala nakong ibang mahihiling pa. sana lang andito si daddy to witness all this, cause all he ever wanted was for our family to be happy and at peace but because of his work naging malabo yun, naiintindihan naman namin kasi mahal talaga ni daddy ang mga pilipino and he always wanted what was best for the mass. hay! i miss daddy na talaga. but i know he's always with us. 

a few minutes passed and we all ate dinner na and ang sarap ng luto ni tin gayang gaya niyang luot ni mommy meldy, namiss ko yung ganitong timpla. 

after dinner we all headed t our won rooms na and slept. 

Markus's POV
