Greggy POV
My wife has been worried sick for Athena and her family. Even if she won't say it. I know deep inside she cares for her and so damn worried about her condition. And sa mga kids kahit ganito ang nangyayari sa pamilya namin. Hindi ito makapakali mayat't maya.
"Dear? You okay, sweetheart?"
"Yeah.."
"Come here nga." I motioned her to come near me. She then walked to my direction and I wrapped my hands round her waist.
"Stop worrying my darling."
"I'm not." Oh diba? Haynaku ide deny pa.
"Hey. It's okay, Dear. Do you wanna call Athena ba? I'll be here as you talk to her. Para you don't get kaba."
"Talaga?"
"Opo, go on Dear. I'll be here. I'll hold you oh."
After our short conversation, she had the courage to call her. After a few rang, she Athena answered the phone and I was just there listening to them the whole entire time.
"You wanna invite them for sleepover, Dear?" I whispered and she smiled softly.
"Is it okay to you Dear?" she asked me back and I nodded my head.
Good thing, pumayag si Athena. After that her smile didn't leave her lips.
"You want to let our sons know, Dear? Matutuwa yung dalawa." I said cause we all can deny it or hindi. Gusto din namin mag asawa makita ang anak namin at mapalapit sakanya. Atsaka makita yung dalawa kung anak na lalaki na masaya.
Natatakot lang ako pag nalaman ni Ella ang totoo. Bakit siya nawala samin noon. Bakit umabot sa ganto. Hindi ko alam pano niya matatanggap ang lahat nang yun. Pero hindi naman yun ang importante ngayon diba?
Irene POV
"Dear? Ang lalim naman nang iniisip mo."
"Dear."
"Greg. Greggy!"
"Ha ah?"
"May problema ba? Kanina pa kita tinatawag, Dear." I said full of concern as I caresses his now pale face.
"You okay? Namumutla ka, Dear. Masama ba pakiramdam mo?"
"Hmm. Hindi. Sige sabihin ko nalang muna ang mga household staff natin na may darating." He shortly answered. Of course, I feel uneasy parang may mali or maybe it was just me.
I informed my sons and my whole family about Ella. They're so over the moon and my two sons excitedly went to our house. Andun na sila sa kusina nag luluto nang mga favorites ni Ella.
I need to be sanay a little on not calling her Ella. Kasi minsan I almost called her that way and I forgot Lalaine or Tala pala dapat.
"Ma, they're coming na daw in 5." my eldest son informed me. Indeed, his smile never left his lips ever since I told him the news.
I smiled to him and proceed to see Nanay Lordes.
"Nay maayos na po ba lahat nang kwarto?"
"Oo nak, si Ella ba sa dati niyang kwarto siya matutulog?"
"Umm. Hindi po nay. May mga pictures po kasi niya siya dun. Baka mabigla po yung bata. Paki lock nalang po muna."
"Sige anak. Naku! Excited na akong makita si Ella. Baka Ang laki laki na nang alaga ko nak. Baka mo boyfriend na yun."
"Nanay! Don't say that! Hindi pa ako nakakabawi sa anak ko and besides she's still a minor."
"Naku! Ikaw nga noon pag dumadating sina Gregorio dito kasama barkada nang Kuya mo. Tili tili ka. Sumayit ka din naman edi nak."
