Faith, Hope and Love

Chapter 4

"Go and get Mama, dali! Ako na bahala kay Dad. Love, kumuha ka na ng space don sa bar." Faith told her sisters.

"Ate! I'm underage. Hindi ako papayagang pumasok don 'no." Love replied and rolled eyes. Faith and Hope face palmed in unison.

"Oo nga pala. Oh sige ako na nga lang. Hope, ikaw na kay Mama, Love go and get our father. Ako na bahala sa bar. Go, bilis!" Faith said which the sisters did what they've told to do so.

"Hope, where are we going?" Julia asked Hope as her daughter dragged her somewhere she doesn't know where to.

"Basta, Ma. Magugustuhan mo don!" Hope replied with glee. Wala na rin namang nagawa si Julia kundi ang sumundo at magpati-anod nalang sa anak.

"Daddy, bilis! Ang bagal-bagal naman eh." Love uttered and pulled her father's arm.

"Teka, teka. Nahihilo ako eh! Dahan-dahan lang kasi. Para namang may humahabol sa atin eh. Saan ba kasi tayo pupunta?" William asked his daughter.

"Sa bar." Love said that made William pulled her back.

"Saan?!" He asked that made her giggled.

"Ops. My sorry. Ah basta Dad! Let's go! Manonood lang tayo ng band don, no drinks for me and Ates. Bilis!" She said and pulled her father again. William then eyed his guards who's assigned to his daughters whereabouts. They just shrugged their shoulder because they, somehow, knows about the plans.

"Kelan pa kayo natutong pumasok sa bar, Hope?!" Julia asked.

"Mama, chillax!" Hope replied and roamed around her eyes. Faith waved at her when she finally saw the two of them.

"Tara don, Ma." She then told her mother and grab her wrist again and pulled her.

"Ayon! Tara na Daddy!" Love said when she saw them.

"Lalo akong nahihilo sayo, Lovellia!" William whimpered. Love chuckled.

"Mama, Dad. Bago kayo magalit samin, pwede bang mag-enjoy po muna tayo? Don't worry! Juice lang po 'yung in-order ko for the three of us." Faith said and motioned them to take a seat.

"Para saan ba 'to, ha?" Julia asked, she then eyed her husband who shrugged his shoulder. She then faced her daughters again.

"We just want you guys to enjoy these night. Mage-enjoy lang tayo and nothing more. Ang gagawin lang po natin, iinom dito and makikinig ng banda. 'yon lang!" Faith replied which the sisters followed by their nods.

"Big deal po ba, Mama?" Love asked her.

"No, wala naman! Nagtataka lang naman kasi ako kasi pano kayo nakapasok sa lugar na 'to?" She asked and then eyed her husband again.

"Yung tingin mo, Julia ah. Wala akong alam sa pinaggagawa ng mga anak mo. Hinila lang din naman ako dito." He defend himself, Julia raised her eyebrow.

"Wala naman akong sinasabi, William. Masyado kang defensive dyan." She uttered and rolled her eyeballs.

"Oh tama na po! Wala po munang bangayan, mage-enjoy po tayo dito diba?" Hope uttered. She then arched her arm around Julia's waist. Faith then handed them their drinks.

Nakikisabay ang tatlo sa banda, habang ang dalawa naman ay tahimik na nakikinig lamang. William then simply held her hand under the table. She eyed him, then swallowed, she then looked away.
