Circle of Life

46.

Imelda had woke up with another beautiful sight she could every witness aside from the special events she had way back. She's happy and smiling from ear to ear.

With the blessing she received to reach that age, to see all her anak, manugangs, grandson with their own family and granddaughter.

"Thank you for this wonderful life you had given. Good morning up there Ferdinand, I know you could also see this sight I am right now. Look they're so cute and adorable to see like this again. Fitting all together in one room. Parang kailan lang Nung tayo lang dalawa at Ang apat natin anak ang nakikipagsiksikan. Ngayon halos Wala Ng space. But I am glad, Ferdinand. I hope you're here physically too para Makita ito. Send me my kiss Ferdinand", Saad ni Imelda while looking at everyone who's still asleep.

Imelda was about to get up when kiella hug her tighter, "It's still early mamu, let's rest first. Everyone is still asleep oh", she muttered.

Natawa naman si Imelda, "are you awake already young lady?", tanong naman nito.

"Absolutely but I am still sleepy so please mamu"

With kiella's consistent pangungulit Imelda finally gave up and went back to bed as kiella hugged her tighter and slowly dozed off to sleep again.

It was drastically a fast morning for them, the others woke up earlier so they prepared the breakfast and woke everyone up to eat together. After which they all head to their morning routine as they'll be attending a 10am mass at Mara Conception Church in Sarrat as per requested by Imelda.

Kiella had been clinging and close towards Imelda since the day they came to Ilocos to which Imelda found it unusual. Kiella is sitting on her left side, "are you and your mama have a little fight?", imelda asked quietly while waiting for the mass to start.

"Po?", kiella stated.

Imelda sighed, "I said, are you and your mama have a little fight", she asked again.

Kiella looked at her, "of course not mamu", she denied.

"If there's one thing your mommy forgot to tell it to us because she always mentioned all the good things you could do and excel in everything but to this you aren't", imelda muttered which kiella look at her with forehead creased.

"You are not good at lying apo", imelda said as she also looked at kiella and pinched her nose.

"Mamu", she stated with and crunched her nose.

"We are okay mamu", she answered and denied again.

"Lie to anyone apo but not to mamu, okay? Your mama was glancing back and forth to you since earlier, waiting for you to be exact. Look there's a space for you beside her", imelda said to which kiella looked in the direction.

Kiella gaze then landed back at Imelda, "go na apo. Whatever that little fight is fix it hmm.", Imelda told kiella.

"But mamu", she said being hesitant with a creased forehead.

"You two will not be okay if you choose to ignore each other apo", she said seriously.

"Okay po, sorry", she said and bowed down her head.

Imelda then held its chin, "no need to say sorry, okay? It's normal to have little fights and quarrels within our family the wrong thing is letting it in and consuming us and ignoring the problem apo till it became big.", Imelda reminded kiella.

Kiella then nods and grabs her little purse as she makes her way to the direction of the third phew where Greggy, Irene, Alfonso's little family and Luis are sitting.
