Finally, it's already weekend the two was craving for it, craving for the day that they both have a rest day.

"Pinapauwi ako ni mommy." Greggy whispered to Irene who's neatly folding their clothes beside him.

"Edi umuwi ka na muna." She smiled.

"Sama kayo please?"

"Ay! Saturday pa lang ngayon diba?" Irene look at the date.

He nodded watching her.

"Sorry but we can't we have an appointment in DSWD." She answered with a sorry tone.

Greggy shrugged, "It's fine. Hatid ko na lang kayo bago ako umuwi." He offered

"Ikaw bahala." She answered, "Or what if samahan ko kayo then by dinner na lang ako uuwi nang bahay?" Greggy suggested.

"Baka nan mapagod ka?"

"Paano ako mapapagod eh kayo pahinga ko."

And the finally, he doesn't need to hide that kind of thoughts inside him.

Irene sigh, but deeply inside she is super happy. "Tsk! Ewan ko sa'yo tulungan mo na lang ako dito." She said

Greggy laugh, but he help her.

"Kuya!" Aimee knock on the door.

"Yes?" He stand up again, "Can I come?" The little girl ask behind the door.

"Yes, gising ka na pala." He opened the door for her.

"Opo kuya." She stepped inside, answering his question politely.

"Later may pupuntahan daw tayo." He said, leading her to the bed so she can seat down.

Irene smile to Aimee, "How's your sleep little girl?" She ask with lovely tone.

"It was good po ate, I did not get any nightmare anymore." She answered, unlike before when she is still in her old household, every sleep she have is hunting her every night.

"Talaga po? You prayed too well po kasi kagabi." She answered.

Aimee nodded, "What's ulam hehehe!" She can feel her stomach being empty.

"Let's ask kuya Greggy?" Irene's eyes lightened up.

"Oum!" The girl also excitedly answer.

"Kung anong gusto niyo." Greggy chuckled.

"Anything, basta healthy po hahaha!" Aimee giggled again.

"Ahh napaka joyful naman nang batang 'yan!" He said, he is holding back to call her as his anak ko.

"Andiyan po kayo eh, nag bibigay po kayo nang joy sa akin."

The two smile, it melts their hearts it's so feel true when it's come to a child's mouth.

Greggy sat down at his study chair, picking up his guitar that is even started to collect all the dust.

"What's your favorite song kuya?" She ask.

"I have two favorite songs." He answered.

"What is it?"

"Huwag kang matakot." He answered, that song have a special place inside his heart.

"What does that mean? I should not be afraid?" She curiously ask.

Irene nodded, "Yes, yun na yun."

"Can you try to sing it kuya?" She requested.

Greggy look at Irene, "Oo naman."
