Circle of Life

30.

Morning came greggy decided not to go to work and spend the day with Irene and zoey since he knows he'll be out of San Juan for the time being.

Greggy was almost out of space and already at the edge of the bed, sinakop na nila Irene at zoey ang higaan so greggy decided to move beside irene already.

Greggy hugs his wife and which to that movement woke irene up, "good morning hun", greggy greeted first.

Tumingin naman si Irene sakanya and smiled, "good morning hun, you're already late for work po", saad nito.

"I am not", tanging tugon lang ni greggy.

"Hun its already 7:30 traffic na"

"It's okay, I am not going to work. I'll be spending the day with you both", sagot nito na nakapagpangiti kay Irene.

"But you're still rushing some works hun", sagot naman ni irene.

"Alfonso will fill me up today, I already message our panganay yesterday night", sagot niya at tumingin kay Irene.

"Besides I'll be away for days or even a week at hindi pa ako nagpapa-alam kila mommy and even to her", dagdag pa ni greggy.

"Okay", sagot naman ni irene. She's still hugging zoey and greggy who's hughing Irene.

Irene was seizing the moment, "mind telling me how come she sleep beside us hun", tanong na ni irene.

"I went out after you fell asleep since I got thirsty then I saw her zoning out of the living room, minutes after nag-brownout. Basically she's scared so I took the opportunity, she didn't even think twice when I invited her in our room siya pa ang humila saakin", greggy explained with minimal chuckles.

Tumango naman na si Irene, "let's go down, coffee?", yaya ni greggy.

"Okay, let's go", sagot naman ni irene but before they left the room ay humalik muna sila sa noo ni zoey at inayos ang kanyang posisyon.

"Oh greggy nandito ka pa pala. Wala kang pasok?", bati ni Imee nakakalabas galing dining area.

"Wala manang di muna ako papasok", sagot naman agad ni greggy.

"Oh sakto tara sa garden area nandun si bong at liza may dalang breads, by the way good morning", dire-diretsong salita nito at nagtungo na papuntang hardin sumunod naman ang dalawa.

"Oh greggy anak wala ka bang trabaho ngayon?", tanong din ni imelda

As what greggy answere to imee earlier is the same answer he give to Imelda.

They're all sitting down, "mommy nagpaalam ba sainyo si zoey na magjogging?", biglang tanong ni Imee kay Imelda.

"Hindi, bakit?"

"I checked her room wala siya doon", sagot ni imee.

"Ano?!", gulat naman na tanong ni Imelda.

"She's in our room, still sleeping", kalamadong sagot lang ni Irene.

"What?! She's in your room?", sabay-sabay na gulat nioang tanong.

Tumango naman si Irene.

"How?", biglang tanong ni Imee.

"Ayos pala. Okay na kayo", dagdag naman ni bong.

Napatingin nila naman sila kay bong.

"So what Irene?", balik tanong ni Imee.

Huminga naman muna ng malalim si Irene bago nagsalita, "she just sleep in our room dahil takot siya because last night nagbrownout", maikling sabi lang ni irene.
