"Papa, I still can't believe you call me papa", sabi ni greggy habang nakangiti parin while they're dancing.

Zoey couldn't contain her happiness either, it's overflowing. She doesn't know why but she was awed at how her simple address to greggy made him happy that much, "Don't be too loud papa, marinig ka nila", she reprimanded her father while smiling.

"Why?", tanong naman ni greggy like he doesn't know what Zoey was pointing at, he was smirking.

"Eh ikaw palang I called that way no. Mamaya mama would hear you edi she'll get jealous tas ano I'll make suyo? Ay ayoko nga papa, lahat pa naman kayo mga seloso at selosa hmp", sabi zoey na siya namang nakapagpangiti kay greggy.

Greggy's ears brimmed with joy as it keeps on replying on his head the word, "papa", but he's happy most as she heard her own daughter called his wife mama already, greggy knows this would make Irene more happy than him.

As greggy was lost in his thoughts Zoey talked again, "And stop smiling nga po like that one, nako.", she uttered.

"Why? Is there something wrong sa smile ko?", pag-baby naman ni greggy.

Tumawa naman si Zoey, "yucc stop papa, it doesn't suit you only mama", Saad nito while she continued to laugh.

Greggy pouted but Zoey let greggy be.

It took a few minutes before Zoey finally stopped laughing, "Its ano. Why do you smile ba kase ng ganyan? I called you papa lang naman e", she seriously then asked even though she clearly knows the answer about it.

Greggy fixed his posture, "Because I had waited for it for so long, for you to call me papa. And aside from that I still can't believe that the one I prayed for so long had been answered way way back before and that was you, my Georgienne Kiela Rae. Now you're here standing in front of me, anak.", Saad ni greggy na siya namang nakapagpatunaw lalo sa damdamin ni zoey. Ngayon ramdam na niya na kahit paano ay naiibsan na Ang sakit at unti-unti itong hinihilom ng pagmamahal.

"Sus papa drama", Zoey joked even though in reality she's deeply touched and wanted to cry.

"Hindi kaya, I'm just beyond grateful anak. That after those troublesome events that had happened we're here now it's just sad as your mommy eme and daddy Hans wasn't here to see us all like this", Saad ni greggy.

"Sige na oo na papa, now shush na", sabi ni zoey at muling niyakap si greggy.

Sila Irene, luis and alfonso ay kanina pa nakatingin sa dalawa habang sila ay nag uusap, "You want to talk to her?", tanong na bigla ni Luis. Irene didn't even notice that she's been only staring at his mag-ama for so long already.

Tinignan naman ni Irene si Luis, "hindi na muna, baka galit pa ang kapatid mo. Nag-away na kami kahapon tama na muna 'yon baka mas lalo lang siyang mainis saakin", sagot ni Irene at ngumiti.

"Away? May nangyare kagabi?", Biglaang singit naman ni alfonso.

"Inom pa kuya", banat ni luis at tinignan ang kanyang Ina.

"You know she went and apologized with me earlier mama, also I saw her trying to approach you but you seem so very occupied earlier so she just left", Luis stated kaya tumingin ulit si Irene sakanya to which Luis just smiled and nodded.

"Hoy ikuwento mo saakin", sambit ni alfonso at akmang susundan na sana si Luis na kaka-alis lamang ngunit naalala si irene. Lumapit ito kay greggy at nagkaroon ng kunting plano.

Nagpaalam na si alfonso kay Irene at gayundin si greggy kay zoey, parehong naupo ang dalawa napansin naman ni irene ang biglang pagmasahe ni zoey sa kanyang ulo.
