SEE THE END FOR AUTHOR'S NOTE! By the way, I recommend listening to "Mabagal" by Moira Dela Torre, and Daniel Padilla, "Buwan" by juan karlos, and "Yakap Sa Dilim" by Orange & Lemons when the party starts! (Long chapter)

"Mama!" You were just cooking breakfast for your family and you had heard your daughter call out your name, since your husband Camilo was still asleep even though yesterday, he had promised that he would help you prepare breakfast since it was Sunday aka Family Day. You could've just dragged him out of bed.. scold him for sleeping in for the day and for breaking his promise.
So kulit. (Pesky)
But actually, you let him rest because he deserves it for taking care of Carla when you were out with Mirabel, and your older sister Gabriela since your older sister was about to return to the Philippines this day as she had to attend a business trip from her company. Yes, she was a CEO now.
You turned your head to the side and you see Carla with puppy eyes, almost looks like she had been wanting to say something for a very long time. Your daughter Carla was only seven years old and she almost had the same features as her father. And she was quite tall for her age, you sigh since you knew that she was about to ask a favor to you or something else, "Yes, anak?" (child) you replied with a small smile on your face while Casita had helped you out with the plates as it placed them on the table outside.
Meanwhile, Mirabel and the others were outside also helping preparing breakfast. It was probably only your husband who wasn't awake, what a sleepyhead but at the same time you found it kind of cute. Carla had hugged you tightly which made you startled, but you had returned the hug otherwise and she looked up at you with a bright smile. "Could you tell me the story of you and papa again?" While still keeping up those puppy eyes of hers.
You sighed once again, but you softly chuckled. How many times did you tell her the story of you and Camilo? You lost count.. you wanted to say that you've told that story a lot of times now, but you gave her a chance and you patted her head gently and ruffled her hair after. "Alright, alright. Fine, after we eat breakfast. Okay, querida? (dear?)" and she nods her head while she jumped happily.
"Yay! Thank you, mama!" Carla responded by giving you a quick peck on the cheek and she had hurriedly went outside to her auntie Mirabel. You just shook your head with a smile on your face and you continued to prepare breakfast.
And after your family had ate breakfast, you went to your shared room with Camilo, and he wasn't there. You raised your brow, but Carla had pleaded you to tell her the story immediately so you two sat down on the bed, as she wasn't beside you and you began to tell the story of when you and Camilo met- and when you two fell in love.
