Risa thought of what her daughter said. She had sent Aika a message since she had her number.
"Hi Aika. This is Tita Risa. Can I meet with yoy and your sisters? Please don't tell your Mama. Thank you!" her message read.
"Sure po, Tita. I'll ask Trisha and Jill. If ever po ba saan tayo magmemeet?" Aika replied.
"Preferably somewhere out sa area ng QC."
"Sige po. I'll text them na, update nalang po kayo if saan niyo gusto mag meet. Thank you po!"
With that, Risa began to search for places just outside the perimeter of QC. She found a small cafè in Makati.
"Aika sa Makati, okay lang ba yun sainyo?"
"Yes po Tita, no problem. We'll be available at 4:30 p.m. po, is that okay?"
"Yes, Aika. Thank you and see you soon!"
Risa was quite nervous, she shifted her attention to her work. Time passes by like a bat, it was alreay 3:30 p.m. and Risa was already done. She just waited the clock to hit 4:00 o'clock so that she can leave.
She arrived at the cafè at 4:15 p.m. and as expected, Aika and her sisters were not yet there. Risa ordered an Iced Coffee to drink while waiting for the girls. At exactly 4:45, Aika, Trisha, and Jillian arrived.
"Hi, Girls!" greeted Risa as the three approached her.
"Hello po Tita Risa." replied Trisha.
Aika was obviously from work, Trisha and Jillian were wearing their school uniforms.
"Does your Mama know about this?" she asked Aika with a questioning look.
"No po. Just like you asked, although we might have to be quick kasi baka hanapin po kami, paalam po kasi namin may titignan po kami dito sa Makati." Aika responded.
Jillian ordered and came back with their Milk teas and then sat down to join the conversation.
"Tungkol saan po ba itong meeting, Tita?" Trisha asked while opening her straw.
"Uhm Girls, I have to ask you something, but I'm not sure that you will agree or maybe you'll look at me differently." Risa now worried that the girls might be negatively affected by what she may reveal.
The girls are bow obviously nervous. They kept on drinking the beverages and started to stare at Risa.
"Girls, I like your Mom. I have feelings for her. Gusto ko siyang ligawan. Alam ko naman na 'di kayo agree na mag date si Leni pero--" Risa stopped when the girls start giggling. "What's funny?" she asked.
"Tita, we know po. We were just waiting for you to make your move kasi ayaw ka po namin pangunahan." Jillian said.
"The way that you look at Mama po kasi, is similar to the way Papa looks at her noon. And we also see the smile that she has when she's with you, the smile that we wanted to see once again." Aika continued.
"Tita, to be honest, I had doubts at first, kasi I wasn't used to seeing girls with other girls, and also I was the one who strongly disagreed with Mama dating again in fear na baka makalimutan niya na si Papa. But seeing you with Mama and how happy you make her, I realized na it's time na rin for Mama to be happy, and we wouldn't allow anyone else to be with her pag 'di ikaw yun." Trisha had finished.
Risa was shocked to hear such things especially from Leni's girls. She was relieved and overwhelmed with emotions as the girls had already accepted her. But she can't shake off the fact that she told Leni to think about it or if she was sure.
"Tita?" called out Jillian with a concerned look.
"Uh- wha-?"
"Are you okay po ba? Kanina ka pa po kasi tulala jan."
"Ahh oo, I'm fine. Nakakatuwa lang kasi na I'll be having three more daughters, if okay lang sainyo yun?"
The girls were smiling brightly and said altogether "Okay na okay po!"
All of them sat beside Risa and took selfies. But Trisha soon remembered their conversation with their Mom the other night.
"Ate, naalala mo ba yung nag jamming tayo nung isang gabi?" Trisha asked her sister.
"Yes, bakit?" Aika responded.
"Di ba, Mama was asking about a friend who liked someone tapos pareho sila babae."
Aika just nodded and then Risa joined in.
"Kailan yan namgyari?"
"Nung late po nakauwi si Mama."Trisha answered.
"That might be the day I confessed my feelings for her, she also confessed hers. But I told her to think about it and if she was sure. I actually regretted saying that. Pero ayaw ko kasi mag-madali at hindi ko pa kasi alam ang magiging reaction niyo that time." Risa said feeling guilty.
Aika and Trisha had pieced everything together and realized the supposed 'friend' was about her and their Tita Risa. They looked at their Tita Risa and saw that she had a stressed and worried look.
"Don't worry, Tita. Tutulungan ka namin to win over Mama. Kami nang bahala." Trisha suggested.
"Thank you so much. And please, call me Mama Ris." She thanked the girls and kissed each of them goodbye.
The girls also left after Risa, and then they started to think of a gimmick. But first they needed to have a heart-to-heart talk with their Mom.
