Taste of Life

I went home and found Izelle and Troye shouting at each other sa gaming room. Kumunot ang noo ko at sinilip sila. They're playing Valorant.

"Please wall mid, Margarette." He instructed.

"Let me play, Tito." she sound annoyed na.

Natatawa ako but I kept it. Troye made one of our guest room a gaming room after he found out about Valorant.

Ang tanda na namin for gaming pero we both went back at it. Umuwi nalang ako one day naka set up na ang bagong built na PC, at hindi man lang ako tinanong he really bought me one rin talaga. May mga led lights pa that matches our keyboards. Kaloka.

It has been a year since we got married. Our family was so happy. We bought a new dog also. The oldies are always pressuring us to give them another apo. Actually even Izelle.  She likes hanging around with us. Siguro dahil busy ang parents niya.

"Aren't you guys hungry? Papadeliver ako." Nagulat sila both when they heard my voice pero Troye is the only one who looked at me. Izelle is still focused sa game.

"You're home na pala." Troye said with a pacute voice. Motioning na lumapit ako sakanya. I did. And watched him play. He pouted to get kiss so ginawa ko nalang.

"Tita, I want Wendy's." Izelle finally said.

"Okay, I'll order na."

"Goodluck sa game. Play another game para when you are both done andito na food."

They nodded in unison. Ang cute eh.

I ordered Wendy's and just clean up a bit. Our house now is located in another village pero close pa rin kela Ate Iza, and sa old village namin.

Mom and Dad are both in NYC. Enjoying retirement. Sometimes it still feel weird to call them Mom and Dad. Natatawag ko pa rin nga silang Tita Bea and Tito Thirdy.

"Tita, can you also order Mary Grace lemon bars? Tito will pay. Pasalubong for Mama." Izelle went out of the gaming room. She always does that. So hindi niya ko kailangan iremind.

"Already ordered, darling." I smiled at her.

"Ahh. Best Tita in the world." She kissed my cheek.

"Malamang ako lang naman Tita mo."
Tumawa siya at bumalik sa gaming room.

Izelle is really maloko. Ilang bes ata yan napatawag sa guidance. Different breed ng Ravena. Buti nalang lawyer ang tatay niya.

When the our orders arrived, tinawag ko na silang dalawa. They quickly left their PCs.

"Yey! Wendy's. Best Tita talaga." Pangbobola pa ni Izelle.

Umiling iling nalang si Troye.

"You have duty tomorrow, babe?" Troye asked.

"Nope. Day off."

"Oh Thank God." OA niyang reaksyon.

"You are always working, Tita. Tito said he missed you a lot during day time." Pagsusumbong ni Izelle.

"Sometimes he'll randomly shout. ''Miss ko na asawa ko"" Natawa ako.

"Really. Take a video next time." Pag bulong ko kay Izelle.

"Luh. Not me. Hindi ako clingy." Troye tried to fool us.

"You are, Tito. Mom said you are so clingy and that you got it from Lolo Thirds."

I laughed. Dad is indeed clingy. I myself witnessed that since I was young.

"Speaking of your grandparents, Dad and Mom will go home on September." Troye announced.
