When We Were Young (GC Book 2)

Daddy.. daddy wake up!

Gising ni Ella kay Mans habang natutulog ito.

Nung narinig ni Mans ang boses ng anak niya, nagising din siya agad.

He slowly opened his eyes and as soon as he did, bumungad sa kanya ang cute na cute na bata.

She was holding a cake and wearing a party hat.

Di niya na napigilan at kinurot ang pisngi nito

Then he spoke

Magandang umaga princess! You look so pretty today!

He said.

Agad din namang sumagot si Ella.

Of course mana kay mommy very pretty. Diba mom?

She said sabay lingon kay Sara

Natawa naman si Sara sa sinabi ng anak niya then she quickly replied.

Yes love.. you look like me.. kaya nga swerte si daddy mo, may princess na siyang maganda, may queen pa! So go on and greet your dad.

She said while smiling

Ay oo nga pala, I almost forgot ! Happy birthday daddy... I love you so much! Ikaw ang pinakamabait at pinaka handsome daddy in the whole wide universe.

Ella said sabay yakap kay Mans.

Awww ang sweet naman ng baby ko.. kaya lang bolera din mana kay mommy! Salamat anak.

He said while hugging Ella.

Then after Ella was done, si Sara naman.

Lumapit siya agad kay Mans at hinalikan ito sa labi then she said

Happy birthday daddy! Thank you for everything you have done for me...and thank you for accepting me for who I am. I couldn't ask for a better husband.. love you!

She said sabay kurot sa pisngi nito.

Mejo napalakas pa ata kaya biglang napasigaw si Mans.

Araaay naman! Dahan dahan sa pagkurot.. sige ka, I might sue you for physical injuries.

Biro nito.

When Sara heard him, agad niya itong kiniliti.

Ahhh physical injuries pala ha, halika dito! Come anak help me! Pagtulungan natin tong daddy mo!

She said habang tuloy pa din sa pangingiliti kay Mans.

Agad din namang sumali ang bata.

The two of them were very happy teasing him.

Ganon kasi talaga ang relationship nila. They were a very loving and sweet family.

They also taught Ella to be well mannered and God fearing.

After their kulitan, nag usap ng masinsinan ang mag asawa.

Dad, malapit na ang campaign period. Baka may oras na kailanganin ako ni papa para sumama. In case that happens, pano na?

Seryosong tanong ni Sara.

She was really concerned na di na sila madalas magkaka bond na pamilya.

When Mans saw that she was worried, agad naman niya itong nginitian.

Then he said

Ah! Problema ba yan? Kala ko naman kung ano! Edi ako ang magiging bantatay! Diba we're a team? Kung busy si nanay, edi to the rescue si bantatay!

He said while laughing.

But Sara quickly replied

Sure ka? Pano ang law firm?

Then he answered.

Ba't mo naman poproblemahin yun, nakalimutan mo na ba? I'm the boss you know.. don't worry about it ok? Just focus on the things you need to do.

Dito lang ako, basta jan ka lang din ha..

Biro nito.

When Sara heard him, bigla niyang pinalo sa braso ang asawa niya sabay sabing

Ikaw talaga! Kahit kailan ang corny ng jokes mo! Pasalamat ka, cute at mabait ka.. kung hindi, ewan ko nalang talaga!

Biro naman ni Sara.

Sige na! I have to go sa City hall! After nito, sunod ako sa venue. Maligo ka na din jan baka nag aantay na ang mga bisita mo dun! I'll see you later ok birthday boy?

She said sabay tayo.

Tatalikod na sana si Sara para umalis ng bigla siyang tawagin ni Mans.

Mommy ganda!

When she heard him, agad siyang napalingon.

And before she could even ask why, biglang nagsalita si Mans.

I love you!

Napangiti naman si Sara then she answered

love you too... Sige na ligo na!

Sabi niya at umalis na din pagkatapos.

Everything is going well for Sara. She felt like a brand new person.

It's like she already forgot that once upon a time a guy called Bong existed.

Author: Song on cover I forgot that you existed para daw kay Bong 😅
