ARIS's POV
We all were surprised to hear the ladies yell.
"Yes,"
And afterward, they are heading towards us. Alyza pushed Ellie's wheelchair.
"What's with the yell, Langga?" Raphael
"It's a secret, Mahal. Exclusive for us," Alyza replied.
"Hahaha...okay, then," Raphael
"Since it's already snack time, kindly take your seats, buko halo, and pastries are coming," I said
"Aris, can I eat too?" Ellie asked which surprised me.
"Of course, you can..." I replied though I was puzzled.
The buko halo and pastries arrived, and the ladies were all excited.
"Wow... So timely for the sunny afternoon," Xandra
"If everyone will allow, I am holding you all for dinner," I said
"What? Dinner?" Sybil
"We like that!" They replied almost in unison
"Aris ---" Ellie
"Yes, sweetheart?" I asked
"Can you give me bread, please?" Ellie
"Sure... Sure," I said. I picked one slice and I spoon-feeded Ellie.
"Ehemmm... Ehemmmm..." Jenna
"You envy darling?" Paul
"Hahaha..." Alyza laugh
"Seems you envy too, Langga?" Raphael
"Ohhhhh... Please stop... Cheeziness overload here... Colony of ants will attack us," Xandra
"Sweety, you're envious too, haha,"
Everyone laughs.
I was surprised that these people are easy to be with... They are down-earth.
"Mahal can we sing for Ellie and Gov. Aris?" Alyza
"Sure, what song do you want Langga?"
"Bridge over trouble water?" Alyza
"Okay," Raphael
Raphael and Alyza sing... I can't believe they sing like a pro.
"Brudie, I am sure now... If you happened to be not a doctor, you're a singer outside the Cathedral," Marco
Raphael showed Marco his fist.
"Sweety, can you take that they sing and we will not?" Marco
"Ohhh...of course we will sing too," Xandra
Marco and Xandra sing - What if tomorrow never comes?
They are great singers too.
"We will sing next! So what if we are out of tune?!" Zekiel
"Reserve the fourth song for us!" Paul yelled.
"And the fifth song for Doc Sybil and Doc Ivan, who knows?" Alyza said winking to Doc Sybil...everyone laughs
The two blushed.
Our afternoons were filled with music and laughter.
They are all game and sport.
Raphael and Alyza dance while Marco and Xandra sing.
All of a sudden, the kids from the pool came rushing to see Raphael and Alyza dancing
