Third Person

"Soooo.... Batangas tayo?" Greggy looked at his children. "Mhmm..." Issa smiled and nodded. "We've already booked three days and two nights sa Thuroe Cabins."

Irene's eyes widened, "Kailan?" She asked as she looked at her daughter who smiled at her. "Friday morning til Sunday morning. This weekend..."

"That's two days from now..." She whispered to herself and looked at Greggy. "Makakasama ka ba?"

Greggy then looked at her, he knew he had done this enough in the past that's why she was asking this. He couldn't be in the family trips as he was always in his office.

"Makakasama ako." He smiled. Irene's lips then curved into a smile and nodded slowly, "That's good..."

"Ehem... Okay... Nandito pa kami, opo..." Alfonso faked cough and stroked his neck. Luis pressed his lips together to refrain himself from laughing.

Issa just giggled and shook her head as she looked at her parents, It's going to be something to look forward to... She thought.

"Make sure you can go, Dada ha..." She frowned at her father. "Oo naman..." He smiled. "Promise? Pinky promise?" She held out her pinky finger.

Greggy chuckled at this and intertwined his pinkt finger on his daughter's, "Okay... Okay... Pinky promise..."

"Forever 10 year old talaga 'to..." Luis commented at Issa's actions and was hit by his little sister. "Sige, susumbong kita kay ate Xandra nung ginawa mo yung a-"

Issa's mouth was then covered by a wide-eyed Luis, "Okaaayy... Okay na Mum, Dad! Una na kami... Pack your things na, ha?" He smiled nervously and dragged Issa away from the room of their parents.

Well... Their mother's room that was once their parent's room... But soon... It's their room again... Oh, this is tiring... Issa thought to herself when she saw Alfonso closing the door.

"Huy! You're using that as a blackmail!" Luis furrowed his eyebrows, Issa only stuck her tongue out. "Nyenyenye!"

"Oh, please..." Alfonso faux sighed. "Para kayong mga bata..." He smirked at them.

"Yeah, right... Says the one who drunk chat their ex." Issa rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

Luis then did what Issa had done and smirked, "True. And says the one who begged Mum to buy him the star wars collection."

Alfonso's mouth then fell agape, "That was 20 years ago! And bata pa nga naman ako nun!" He gasped, "Hindi pa nga nabuhay si Yana nung panahong yan." His eyes then widened as he realized what he said.

"Ay, sorry..." He bit his lip and looked at Issa. She only smiled and chuckled, "It's true nga naman, Kuya eh... No need to be sorry... And again, kuyas... Friends na kami ni Yana!" She retorted.

Luis chuckled and shook his head. "Pano mo kinaibigan nun? Nag Ouija board ka ba?" He jested. Alfonso then laughed, "Gägo 'to..." He pointed at his younger brother.

Issa smirked and placed her hand on her hips, "May third eye ako..." She smiled. "Wag ka ngang manakot, gabi na oh..." Luis scrunched his nose at her.

"Children... Nag-aaway nanaman ba kayo?" Irene went out of the room with a basket on hand.

"Huh?" The three said in unison and then looked at each other. "Nag-uusap lang naman kami, Ma ah?" Luis frowned.

Irene chuckled, "Para kasi kayong nag-aaway pag nag-uusap kayo... Wag niyo na nga yan asarin ang bunso..." She said as she walked towards the other bedroom.
