ET2: Through The Storm

Epilogue

Finale.

Dwight woke up around five in the morning. She planted a soft kiss on the forehead of the three amazing people sleeping soundly beside her. They all looked cute with their eyes closed and messy hair as well as their sleeping pajamas. 

She smiled as she turned her curly hair into a low ponytail. She rose up, groomed herself and went down the stairs. She went to the kitchen and prepared the favorite meals of the people in the house for breakfast. While waiting for the soup to simmer, she arranged the food that was ready to be served on the table. 

She went upstairs again to wake up the people for breakfast. 

"Babies, it's time to wake up," she whispered, patting them gently. 

Dwight only got a groan as a response. They seemed to be enjoying their sleep a lot and it felt so heavy for them to open their eyes. 

"Come on," she tried again. "Dilan, Chiney, gising na po."

The boy lazily opened his eyes and yawned. "Mommy," he mumbled. "Good morning."

"Good morning, my boy," Dwight replied, gently touching his hair. "How was your sleep?"

The boy looked at him adorably. "Mommy, I dreamed of   naynay." He blinked slowly as if reminiscing every single detail of his dream last night. "She's wearing white. She smiled at me, Mommy."

"You missed naynay, son?" 

"Yes, mommy. A lot."

Dwight put on a smile. "Naynay is on a long rest. Siguro masaya na ngayon si Lola. Let's be happy for her, hmm?"

"She's having a long rest inside the tomb, mommy?"

"Yes, son."

"Because it is peaceful and quiet there, mommy?"

Dwight couldn't help but smile, her son is a curious little one. 

"Yeah. Naynay like it best in here." She moved her hand and patted his head softly. "Now, let's wake up twinny."

Dilan turned to the other side and tried to wake up the little one sleeping beside him. "Jiei, it's time to wake up."

"Ngayon, oras na para ayusin ang sarili," Dwight said when the two got up. "You can now manage yourselves."

"Ryle," she called when the two left to groom themselves. She went to the other side of the bed and got the best scenery of her sleepy husband. 

"Love. . ." He moaned, eyes still closed. "I'm still sleepy."

"The kids already got up. Talo ka pa ng mga bata," Dwight kidded. She stretched her hand and messed his hair even more. "Bangon na. You need to send them to school today. I need to report at work early."

"Love, can I get at least a good morning kiss?" he said instead of lending an ear to his wife. He clung to her arms even more, seeking attention much more than the two little kids who just got out of the bed. 

Dwight landed a flicked on his forehead and stood up. "Get up already. The breakfast is ready. 'Yung mga bata baka mawili na naman maligo, bantayan mo. They'll be late if they spend too long bathing."

Ryle forced himself to wake up, feeling heavy and kinda sulking. 

When Dwight came down she saw her mama Lavianna making an apple juice drink. 

"Ma, ako na po d'yan. Baka mapano pa po kayo."

"What could happen to me, anak? Hindi naman ako tatalon sa wheelchair ko. Saka kabisado ko na ang sarili ko."
