Eloise's POV
(Taray may POV na bebeghorl natin..)
We're going to Ilocos for Lolo's birthday today, we're gonna be using the van lang with Tito Bong's family, since Tita Irene went there first na with Mama Meldy..
Mom gave up all her assets in the company to a less complicated set-up where she doesn't need to join board meetings everyday, since she ran, campaigned and eventually won the congressional seat in Ilocos Norte on 2007, so for two years, she's either in the Congress, or sometimes, very little times, at home.. my kuyas, are all abroad for university... so, that leaves me with Manang Ana here in Makati
But today, the house is very lively, everyone's home - I love it. 🥺❤️
"Good morning, mommy.." I greet as I embrace Mama Imee.
"Good morning, my magandang Eloiseee" she greets back with her sweet and comforting voice.
"Ang aga niyo naman ata naglalambingan sakit sa mata.." Kuya Matt joked.
"Sus nagse-selos na naman ang feeling bunso.." Kuya Borgy said as he entered the room.
We ate breakfast muna before sila Tito Bonget comes over.
A few moments later..
I took a bath, and got ready. I need my perfume, saan na ba yun?? 😭 Halos hinalungkat ko na buong vanity ko.
"Gosh! Napakapabaya mo talaga sa mga gamit mo, Eloise!!" I furiously said to myself.
I went towards Mama Imee's room, and entered kasi manghihingi nalang ako dito. She's not here, kaya she's probably in her walk - in closet.. kaya I went towards it..
I heard her voice there, umiiyak - kaya I quickly went in.
"Mom??" I ask and she immediately wiped her tears off and looked at me.
"Are you crying?" I added.
"No, napuwing lang ang alikabok kasi dito.." she reasons.
"Oh come on, ma.. You're eyes are swollen and you sound weird.." I said and hugged her tight.
"I just miss him.." she replies and smiled.
"Osya halika na! Over na ang dramahan! Papunta na sila Tito Bonget mo!" she enthusiastically announced. But her eyes, just can't lie.
We went down the stairs together just in time for the vehicle to arrive.
"Hey!!" someone came in and greeted, it was Vinny!!
"Hello, William Vincent!!" I greet back and hug him. Eloise niyo touchy feely.
"Is saying my full name necessary??" he jokes.
"Yes, Vin!! She's been preparing for this exact moment for MONTHS!" Kuya Mike replied, as he overheard the whole conversation.
"Where's Tita Liza??" I ask.
"In the van, kumakain!" Vinny enthusiastically replied.
"Yes, we all know bakit ikaw kain din ng kain, Vin.." Tito Bong entered the conversation while entering the house.
"Hala! Buti na-video ko! Susumbong ko to kay Tita Liza!!" I joke.
"Pops! 5 thousand pesos, in exchange of your peace.." Vinny said while laughing.
"10k, Tito Bong!!" I added.
"15k, ano, di niyo nalang ako bibigyan ng akin? Narinig ko din yun ah!!" Kuya Mike also added.
"Mga batang toh, nangba-black mail.. kaya shush nalang ako.." Tito Bong replied and went out of the house.
"O sige, come on kids! Let's go na, long way to go.." Mama Imee announced.
*In the van*
"Good morning, Tita Liza.." I greet.
"Good morning, Ellie.." she greets back and beso me.
"Tita.."
"Yes??.."
"Here ouh, pangshopping niyong tatlo dun sa Ilocos.." Tito Bong interrupted the conversation and gave me, Vinny and Kuya Mike, 5k each.
"Thank you, Tito Bonget!! Ikaw talaga favorite ko na tito.." I joke.
"Ako lang naman isa.." he replied and rolled his eyes.
"El, so what is it na you wnated to tell me?" Tita Liza asked.
"Ah wala po, ang ganda niyo po today.." I replied and smiled. Ngiting binigyan ng bribe yarn Eloise?
"Sus bolera!" Tita Liza replied and laughed it of..
8 hours later..
We have decided to meet the family in Batac.
"Bonget, let's drop by a flower shop muna.." Mama Imee announced.
We eventually passed by one and mama brought two baskets of flowers, chrysanthemums and roses combined. And then went on to the Batac house.
"Hello, Tita Irene!!" I greet as I saw her in the entrance of the house.
"Hello, my pretty niece!!" she replied and hugged me very tight.
"It's been AGES, tita!!" I said and hugged her even more.
"Three months.. It's been three months - but you grow very fast, every time I see you.." she replied and gave me a smile.
"Irene!" Mom greeted as she followed.
"Hi manang!!" Tita Irene greeted back and beso'd mom.
"I missed you!" Mama added.
"Ganyan na ba talaga ako ka mahal dito??" she sarcastically asked.
"Tara na nga.." Mama Imee replied after rolling her eyes.
"Where's mama??.." Mom asked.
"As usual.." Tita replied and continued walking.
We finally arrived in the entrance of a big room, and there was lolo, enclosed in a glass crypt. It has been 5 years since lolo passed away and the family was a wreck.
Mama Imee approached the crypt with the chrysanthemums,
"Happy Birthday, daddy.." she said, at the very verge of breaking down again.
I loved him, he'd always bring me an Vinny to the mall or sometimes to the beach. He taught us all about public speaking, writing, and even debating with reasonable answers. He pushed us into swimming and karate. With lolo, I think I've tried everything in the book.
I'll miss him, forever and always..
