I went upstairs and went to tita Irene and Dad's bedroom which was 2 doors down the room im staying in, I knocked and called tita.
"Tita Irene?" Tanong ko at kumatok.
"Yes? Come in the door is open" rinig ko namang sabi ni tita.
I went inside, actually the reason kung bakit gusto ko syang makita is dumaan kasi ako ng kultura earlier and i saw a cute top na babagay kay tita Irene so binili ko for her, I don't know but I had the urge to do it, wala pang isang week na nakatira ako sakanila pero ang gaan na ng pakiramdam ko sakanya, in some point naaalala ko sakanya si mommy.
"Oh Gia, you need anything?" Tanong nya as she's combing her hair.
"Ah wala po, I just went here to say hi sabi po kasi ni daddy hinanap mo daw po ako kanina, and I just wanted to give you something" sabi ko at ibinigay sakanya ang paper bag ng kultura, sinadya ko na ipa iba ng paper bag yung kay tita Irene.
"Oh? What's this?" Tanong nya.
"Open it tita" sabi ko.
Binuksan nya naman ito
"Oh wow, is this for me? Thankyou hija" sabi sakin ni tita at yumakap.
"That's nothing tita, I saw that earlier and I knew I had to buy it for you" sabi ko.
"Aww, thankyou sweetheart tita loves it! Hindi kana dapat nag abala, anyways how's your day? Alfy told me about your friend Mavs?" Tanong nya.
"Ah yes tita, I feel like your son fell head over heels to Mavs" I said while laughing.
"Well, Alfy has been single for years and he has been focus to Andy so I don't see any bad reason, unless she's married or taken" sabi ni tita.
"Oh tita she isn't, she's just like me hahaha!" Sabi ko.
"Wait? You don't have a boyfriend?" Tanong sakin ni tita.
"Wala po, tatandang dalaga po siguro ako" sabi ko.
"Dios por santo! Wag naman sana noh, sayang naman kung di mo mabibigyan ng manugang at apo ang daddy mo" sabi pa sakin ni tita.
She looks and seems so elegant pero yung totoo she's just like everyone.
"Tita, may apo na naman sya kay kuya Alfy at kuya Luis, enough na siguro yun" sabi ko.
"Teka how old are you na ba dear?" Tanong nga saakin.
"I just turned 30 tita, last-" i was about to speak nung pinutol nya ito.
"Last june 17" sabi nya at ngumiti and I just nodded.
"Alam mo when I was in your age, i was already 7 years married" kwento sakin ni tita.
"Omg, you got married at the age of 23?" Tanong ko.
"Yes i did, and that was the best decision i have made in my entire life" sabi sakin ni tita.
"How?? I mean at the age of 23 I was just thinking of what do I want to do in life" sabi ko while laughing.
"Iba naman na kasi yung panahon namin noon kesa ngayon, women in this generation prioritize their careers first, they know what they want and marriage is the last thing in their mind ika nga" sabi ni tita.
"Yeah, like me" sabi ko.
"Yes, kaya don't rush yourself dear there is plenty of time to waste" sabi sakin ni tita as she held my hand.
Hindi naman na ako nakasagot ng pumasok na si daddy.
"Oh, it seems like you two are getting along very well that's nice to see" sabi ni daddy at ngumiti.
"We are hon, binilhan nya pa nga ako ng top from kultura" sabi ni tita Irene kay daddy.
"Wow, sayo may pasalubong sakin wala?" Tanong ni daddy.
Ngumiti naman ako as I let go of tita Irene's hand, i stood up and went to dad to hug him. This is the first time na maglalambing ako sakanya ng ganto, and I didn't know that this was the feeling I've been missing out on for 30 years.
"Sus wag kana magtampo daddy, gusto mo bilhan din kita ng top sa kultura?" Biro ko.
"Hmm, ewan ko sayo mas mahal mo pa ata si tita Irene mo kesa saakin, parang mas miss mo sya" birong pagtatampo ni daddy.
"Hay nako, Gregorio ha di bagay sayo magtampo" pabiro kong sabi at kumalas sa pagkakayakap dito.
I saw tita Irene smiling at us
"Sige Gianna Louise pababangunin ko talaga ang mommy mo para pagalitan ka" banta sakin ni daddy.
"Edi pababangunin ko din si Lola Emma para ipagtanggol ako" sabi ko.
"Hay nako alam mo, you should freshen up na balik ka dito let's watch a movie" sabi ni daddy.
"Yes yes, I really should sige let's watch a movie! Brb!" Sabi ko at lumabas na ng room nila.
Fast forward
I just got out of shower, i am now brushing my hair and putting on skin care, I also bought sheet masks for everyone to put on, lumabas na ako ng room and pinuntahan ang room ni kuya Alfy, I knocked on the door and he opened it.
"Kuya, nood tayo movie sa room nila Daddy at tita Irene" sabi ko.
"Sure! But first kuha muna tayo ng snacks" sabi nya at kinuha ang phone nya at lumabas ng room.
I just nodded and went downstairs with kuya Alfy, kumuha sya ng popcorn sa pantry and he microwaved it.
"Should we call Luis?" Tanong ni kuya Alfy.
"I don't know" I simply answered.
"Maybe not, magtatampo lang yon kasi may family movie night tayo tapos wala sya" sabi ni kuya Luis.
"Yeah" sabi ko habang tumatawa.
Minutes later the popcorn is ready kaya pumunta na kami sa room nila daddy, we knocked and dad opened the door.
"We got popcorn, and Gia also got chocolates" sabi ni kuya Alfy as he sat in the edge of the bed.
"Gia, tabi ka sakin" aya ni tita Irene.
I nodded and went between her and daddy
Fast forward
Irene's point of view
We're currently watching Divergent, nasa kalagitnaan na kami ng movie when suddenly Gia suddenly leaned on my shoulder, I looked at her and she's asleep.
Napagod siguro ngayong araw, while Alfy and Greggy are still watching I took the time to admire her angelic face, her lovely eyes, beautiful lips and pointed nose. Walang duda anak to' ni Gregorio, she got's her dad's features but her mother's aura, that radiates a very innocent and elegant woman.
