Birthday

April 9, 1990

It was an ordinary family life. The first born of Imee and Tommy Manotoc was celebrating his 7th birthday, the party were filled with a lot of children.

They were so happy, children played a lot of games, people were chit-chatting, you can even hear Imee's loud shout of laughter inside the room.

Tommy with his camera, taking roll after roll of family pictures. Imee noticed her husband was busy taking lots of pictures, "Ga!" she called him.

Tommy heard her, he turned the camera he was holding to his wife and snap a beautiful picture. He giggled as he lowered his camera and slowly approached his wife. When he got next to her, he wrapped his arms around her waist "Yes, Ba?" he said and kissed her cheeks

Imee blushed at what her husband did. She looked at him in the eyes "Ikaw talaga, Kanina ka pa kuha ng kuha ng litrato. Have you eat na ba?" she said.

"Mamaya na, Ba." he replied. Imee raised her eyebrow, she knew her husband hadn't eaten much earlier. She took the bite sized cupcake, "Say ahh..." she teased.

Tommy chuckled as he find her wife cute for doing that, he had no choice but to do what his wife said. She put the cupcake into his mouth and rolled her eyes, "Sus, gusto pang bina-baby e." she said.

Hours passed, the party was over. The guests had already gone home, the Manotoc family start cleaning up the mess. Suddenly, Martin approached her mother, "Mom..." he said and hugged her from behind, "Thank you" he added.

Imee faced his son, "You're welcome, my love." she kissed his forehead. Imee sat on the couch near her and sat the child on her lap, "Mommy will do everything just to make you happy." she said as she caressed her son's hair.

Borgy hugged his mom tightly and kissed her cheeks, "Love you, Mom!" he said. Imee smiled, "I love you too, kuya!" she replied.

Tommy, on the other hand, saw his mag-ina having their moment. He approach them, "Nagsosolo nanaman kayo." he asked. The two chuckled, "Nako... ang asawa ko, napaka inggitero." she teased.

Tommy pouted, "Dad! don't do that, its not bagay to you." Borgy said with his conyo accent.

Imee laughed at what his son just said and Tommy acted as if he's hurt. He put up his camera, "1...2...3... Smile!" he said as he snap a photo of his mag-ina.

"Hay nako! tama na nga yan, linisin na natin to." said Imee as she stood up from her seat.

She kissed his Borgy's forehead, "Go to sleep na, kami na bahala nang Daddy mo dito." she said. Borgy nodded, "Good night, mom and dad!" he said and hugged his parents.

After that Borgy run into his room. Imee was about to pick up the garbage bag but Tommy took it faster, "Ako na jan, Ba... Ikaw nalang mag ayos dun sa mesa." he said. Imee smiled and nodded.

It was quarter to ten when the two finished. Imee looked at her husband and saw him removing the film in his camera, she slowly approach him and hugged him from behind.

Tommy felt an arms wrapping on him, he knows it was his wife so he carefully put down his camera. He gently hold her hand and kissed the back of it. He faced her, "I love you, Ba" he said and tucked her hair behind her ears.

Slowly their faces are getting closer until his lips touched hers and sealed their night with passionate kiss.

They pulled back, "I love you too, Ga" she said as she buried her face in his neck.
