My Happy Ending

Chapter 26

DEN'S POV

Aly: And then they lived happily ever after. The end.

Natapos na ni Aly basahin yung book kaya naman matutulog na si Alex at Pia. Hindi namin namalayan na si Alex nakatulog na pala, so si Pia nalang ang papatulugin.

Pia: Babba, can you read me another story? One last!

Aly: Gusto ko sana, Ate pero diba pupunta pa tayo sa training nila Tita Bea bukas? We have to sleep na.

You could see the sadness and disappointment in Pia's eyes. Gustong-gusto kasi niya kapag maaga nakakauwi ang babba niya at nababasahan pa siya ng libro bago matulog.

Tomorow is the day we planned to visit the team's training. One week kasing nakabreak yung training namin kaya naisipan namin nina Ella na makisali sa training ng Lady Eagles.

Den: Sige na Ate, tignan mo si Alex tulog na siya oh. Pagod na rin kami ni Babba, we have to sleep na rin.

I saw Aly smiling maliciously at me. Then I winked at her. Hindi niya napigilan tumawa.

Pia: Fine. Why are you laughing Babba?

Aly: Nothing... Sige na Ate. Sleep ka na.

I transfered Alex to his room and then went back to Pia's room. Aly gave her the Ateneo Lady Eagle stuff toy wearing my jersey then Pia hugged it. She fixed Pia's hair before she kissed her forehead.

Aly: Sleep tight my princess. Gising ka na maaga bukas, okay? (Tumango naman si Pia) I love you baby.

Pia grabbed Aly's naped and hugged it. Ako naman, I just stood behind Aly waiting for my turn to kiss Pia good night. After that, Aly went behind me signaling it was my turn to kiss Pia.

Den: Good night, Ate. I love you!

Pinatay ko naman ang ilaw sa kawarto ni Pia at sabay kami ni Aly pumunta sa room ni Alex. We found him sleeping already while his blanket was almost on the floor. Aly picked it up and then kissed Alex on the forehead as well.

Aly: Good night my little Wingman. Babba loves you!

Inayos rin ni Aly yung buhok ni Alex. After that, she again went behind me para ako naman daw.

Den: 'Love you baby. Good night.

Pinatay ko rin yung ilaw sa kwarto ni Alex tapos sabay kaming lumabas ni Aly. Nag high five naman kami dahil maaga naming napatulog yung mga bata.

Aly: Good job babe, maaga natin napatulog yung mga bata!

I just smiled at her tapos inakbayan naman niya ako. We walked to our room together and she locked the door. I already knew what it meant.

She laid down on the bed and then I followed.

Aly: I love you...

Den: I love you more, Babe...

***
Just as planned, we were going to go to the Lady Eagles' training in Ateneo today. Gusto kasi ni Aly maging back in shape, habang ako naman ay makikinuod lang.

I'm still not yet back to playing Volleyball kasi nga napag-usapan namin ni Aly na hanggang lumaki nalang yung mga bata.

I couldn't help but smile watching her sleep. Gusto ko pa man siyang panuorin matulog pero kailangan na naming bumangin kung hindi mala-late si Aly sa training.

I kissed her on the cheek which I know woke her up. She was already awake but she didn't open her eyes.

Den: You know what, I still wanna watch you sleep pero mala-late tayo sa training kung hindi ka magising diyan.
