La Douleur Exquise: Imee Marcos

Chapter 107

Imee's POV

We went home after dinner dahil working day na rin kinabukasan. I also had to go to Ilocos Norte early in the morning, to settle some things before we leave.

"Ma, can we watch movies?" Eloise said as she entered my room, bitbit niya si Golda.

"Ellie, maaga pa ako tomorrow eh.. And I haven't packed my bags yet.." sagot ko.

"It's okay! Hihintayin nalang kita matapos, I'm waiting for dad din kasi.." aniya at umupo sa kama.

"Okay.." I said and smiled.

The doorbell rang and dali daling bumaba si Eloise, "Si Dad na yata yun!" she excitedly uttered. "Hey! Be careful sa pagbaba!" I remind at tumango lang siya.

Eloise's POV

I ran downstairs and Golda was following me, nakakatuwa, someone rang the doorbell, I believe that's daddy na. I'm so happy him and mom gave in for my request.

"Hi, dad!" I greet as I went outside.

"Hello!" he said and gave me a bouquet of flowers.

"Oooh, what's the occasion?" I ask.

"Kailangan bang may okasyon para bigyan ng bulaklak ang anak ko?" he asked and smiled.

"No naman.." I said. "Exactly." he replied.

"I believe that one's for ma?" I ask and pointed the other bouquet of flowers.

"Tumpak! Where is she?" he asked.

"Upstairs po, packing her bags.. She's leaving early tomorrow po kasi.." I explained.

"Oh, aalis siya? She didn't tell me." he said, and looked down.

"She'll be back lang din naman daddy eh, ikaw ba! Miss mo nalang si mommy always!" I joke as I tried cheering him up.

"Tara, let's give her the bouquet na.." pag-aaya ko.

As we entered the house, Golda jumped up and down, greeting dad. "Oh, sino naman to?" he asked as he sat down to pet her.

"That's Golda! Nakita namin siya sa backyard the other day.. Isn't she cute?" I said, tumango lang siya.

"Tara! Let's go, puntahan natin si mommy sa taas!" I said.

"Uh, no.. Hihintayin nalang natin siya dito, ano bang gusto mo gawin?" Dad asked as he laid the bouquet of flowers in the countertop.

"First thing to do with mom and dad, uhm, I want to watch movies.." I said and smiled.

Rodrigo's POV

"And you.. have to make popcorns!" sabi ni Eloise at ngumiti. Napag-utusan pa nga.

"There's corn in the pantry, and then oil is just by the stove.." dagdag pa niyang sabi habang naglalakad kami patungo sa kusina.

Wala na 'kong magawa, napag-utusan na ni madam eh, hinugasan ko nalang yung kaldero at nilagyan ng mantika habang si Eloise naman ay nakaupo lang sa dining table.

"Dad, are you shy towards mommy?" tanong niya't natigilan naman ako.

"Huh? Bakit mo natanong?" natatawa kong ani.

"Wala lang, ayaw mo kasing lapitan, may paflowers flowers ka pa.." aniya.

"No, nagpapaluto ka pa kasi ng popcorn.. Bababa din naman yun.." sabi ko.

"Making para paraan ka na naman eh.." sagot niya naman habang hinalungkat niya yung mga flavored powders sa cabinet.

Niluto ko nalang ang isang pakete ng mais habang nakikipagchikahan sa anak ko nang biglang dumating si Imee.
