"alam mo ang kuripot mo" tumingin naman siya saakin
"ate i'm not kuripot nagtitipid lang ako" medyo natawa naman ako sa sinabi niya
"irene marcos? nagtitipid? i don't think so ading" i said

she sighed
"nakadepende ako kay greg ngayon ate" she said. what?
"huh why? diba you have band? and those painting that you always canvassing? where are they?" tanong ko
"nawala lahat ng yon ate in just one snap" naguluhan naman ako sa sinabi niya.

"irene what do you mean" tanong ko
"manang i'm a marcos! they all rejecting my offer and my ideas even my band and my craft ayaw nilang ayunan!" tuluyan ng tumulo ang luha niya pero pinunasan niya agad
wala na akong masabi but to hold her hand. "God will make a way remember dad doesn't want to see you crying our bunso, the baby of the marcoses" the only word's came out from my mouth before i hug her.
she smile
"feeling ko tuloy manang lahat nalang si greg" she sighed
"come on irene. in the first place greg doesn't want you to work hindi ba? why did you not rest for a while muna? refresh yourself" napatango nalang siya.
"maayos din ang lahat" she smile
pinunasan niya naman na ang mga luha niya bago kami nagdasal at nagsimula nang kumain

"irene i really really love your lasagna" puna ko naman sakanya habang kinakain ko ang lasagna
"hindi ka naman gutom ano manang" natawa naman ako
"i just love this nga pala irene i'm sorry about that matter when i got mad at you. it just mainit lang ulo ko"
"sanay na ako manang" natawa nalang ako bago pinagpatuloy ang kinakain ko
habang kumakain naman ako nag vibrate naman ang phone ko then i saw rod message.
