ARIS's POV
At home
Twins Christening and First Birthday
Our family is present. Daddy, Mommy, Nanay, Bimbo, Arra and Ella, and Ivan. Few close friends and trusted people are present too. Dr. Raphael and Atty. Alyza, Atty. Marco and then Judge Xandra, Atty. Zekiel and then Judge Cedes, Doc Jenna and Doc Paul, Doc Sybil, and Doc Ivan... They graced the twins' first Birthday and, and the same time Christening... they are the principal sponsors.
We shared the prepared luncheon. Foods are from Cloche Food Haven, and the cakes and sweets are from Melts&Licks, owned by a friend of our invited couples too, but they were not to attend, they are currently in New York.
The kids with their nannies enjoyed their pool party... We can hear their giggles and laughter from our place. While we are having a few shots after lunch over chitchat and singing... Ivan, Marco, Raphael, Zekiel, and Paul are alternately singing in the videoke.
Our guest's wives, including Ellie, though still in a wheelchair are having fun in the garden... I saw our house helpers cutting some orchids, most likely Ellie shared some... I saw Alyza dancing in happiness holding up a two-tone color waling waling... Cedes has her own too, and even Xandra. Doc Sybil is hugging Ellie...I feel happy that she enjoyed the company of the ladies.
"I am sure Ellie is progressing," Doc Rap
"Yes, she got the best neurosurgeon and orthopedic surgeon plus her desire to walk normally again made her recover fast... She got the best ob gyne too, and her psychiatrist. Unlike before she always told me to return her to her Nanay," I said
"I told you, patience, love, and care will heal her," Doc Raphael
"Great progress, she's no longer stubborn... She follows instructions," Ivan
"But honestly, there are times my sins replayed on her mind, and she got tantrums," I said
"Let Doc Sybil take care of that...Don't get back, understand her," Doc Raphael
"I never did," I answered
"The kids are a great help too, right?" Doc Paul
"Yeah ... Ella and Arra always show their dance to her, and she enjoys it. When her tantrums start or her panic attacks strike, Ella and Arra will distract her, they song her favorite songs,"
"That's great, best therapy," Doc Paul
"But she got her trauma. When I bring her to hotel buildings, she will tremble ... I know she remembers that fateful event," I said
"Refrain from bringing her to the places she fears," Atty Marco
"I am aware now," I answered
"Just show your remorse, sooner or later she will forgive you and forget everything... Aside from Amboy, this most faithful brudie of ours, we cannot deny that we do have some weaknesses and flaws," Zekiel
