Jump Then Fall

Back to December (BongLeni's Version) (7)

"Daddy!" Bongbong was awakened by Emi's voice. She serves as his alarm clock in the morning.

"Yes, anak?" He opened the door, sleepily.

"Hay naku! 7am na dad! Late ka na sa breakfast. Papagalitan ka ni Mama." Emi rolled her eyes. "Sinisigaw nun full name mo pag late ka sa breakfast." Emi whispered.

Bongbong frowned. He doesn't recall any breakfast plans with his mag-ina. "Huh?"

Emi rolled her eyes once again and grabbed his wrist and started to walk. "Halika na dad!"

He didn't know what's happening but he just go with her. They entered the house in front of his and smell the aroma coming from the dining area.

"Ma, nandito na si Dad!" Emi announced.

Bongbong's sleepiness vanished the moment he saw Leni wearing nothing but her thin night gown on. "Hi!" He stared at her.

She giggled at the sight of him. "Hi! Umupo ka na para makakain na tayo."

He didn't know what to do or what to say. His mind turned blank. Luckily, Emi ushered him to sit at the kabisera. "Baka si mama dyan—"

Emi interrupted him. "Dyan ka na dad simula today."

Bongbong looked at Leni asking for some confirmation, she just nod. He then occupied the seat. He just watched Leni made some finishing touches before they could start eating.

Leni went to his side to place a glass but he held her waist and whispered. "Parang sa suot mo palang busog na ko."

She giggled. "Stop it! Ang aga-aga!"

"Guys, get a room!" Emi rolled her eyes.

Bongbong and Leni automatically separated themselves from each other after hearing how disgusted their daughter was.

They silently prayed and eat.

"Ma, dad?" Emi called her parents out. "Sama-sama po ba tayong magpapasko?"

Bongbong looked at Leni silently asking her the same question.

"Um tayo anak magkasama tayo syempre, di ko lang alam sa daddy mo." Leni's voice trailed off. They haven't talked about it yet.

"I can stay here with you sa pasko and bagong taon if you like." Bongbong said.

Emi beamed. "Really dad?"

Bongbong nodded. "Another thing, pwede bang dito na din magpasko sina Manang Imee?" He looked at Leni.

Leni was surprised. She didn't saw that coming. "Um pwede naman siguro. Sino ba kasama ni Manang?"

"Si Irene saka si Aimee." He said. "Alam kasi nila na nakita ko na kayo ni Emi. They're excited to meet Emi. Nagtatanong sila if they can spend the holidays here."

Leni nodded. "Pwede naman." She didn't know how will she react if she saw his sisters again.

"Sino po si Manang?" Emi interrupted.

"Oh! She's your Tita, anak." Bongbong said. "I have three sisters, eldest namin is your Tita Imee. Second ako, tapos third is your Tita Irene then bunso namin is your Tita Aimee."

Emi nodded. "Excited na po ako makilala sila!"

Bongbong beamed in excitement as well while Leni smiled in nervousness.

Bongbong accompanied Leni to the grocery store after they dropped Emi to her last school day before taking the holiday break.
