JEMA
Today is our team building
Laura died pala and It's been a month since she died
Ella brought their kid
Ang laki at ang pogi ng anak nila
"Bes baka Matunaw yan" Kyla teased
Sinamaan ko naman siya ng tingin
"Dada, starfish!" rinig kong sambit nung bata
Ella smiled and took a picture of him
Cute nila
"Uy, uy ngiting ngiti siya"Kyla said
Napa tawa naman si Ate Jia
Baka mabatukan ko na talaga to!
May nakita akong Shell
I smiled and kinuha ko iyon
Lumapit ako sa Anak ni Ella
"You want shell, baby?" I said and showed it to him
Tumango naman siya, nahihiya siyang kinuha iyon
"Say thank you to tita Jema, Jeron" Ella said
Jeron, jeron De Jesus
"T-thank you p-po, tita J-jema" nahihiyang sabi niya
Napa ngiti naman ako
"You're welcome, baby... Let's go search for more shells later?"I asked
Tumango naman siya at tumingin kay Ella
"Can I po, dada?" He asked
Ella nodded at ginulo ang buhok niya
"Yes naman love... Your tita Jema's kind naman, You can go with her okay?" sagot niya
Niyakap naman siya ni Jeron
"Let's eat na muna baby" sambit ko
Tumango naman ako
Napa tingin si Ella sakin
Teka, bat ba ako tumango?!
Buti nalang at hindi nakita ni Ella
"Ano yun, Family bonding or family reunion?" Kyla teased
Kinurot ko naman siya sa Gilid
"Aray ha! ang sakit" daing niya
"Ikaw kasi" I replied and rolled my eyes
"Huy, lunch time na. Tama na muna kayong dalawa, kanin pa kayo nag aaway dyan" sambit ni Ate Jia
After lunch, bumalik na muna kami ni Kyla sa room namin
Si Ella lang ata mag isa roon, kasama kasi yung anak niya eh
"Kung iniisip mo yung taong nasa kabilang tao, baka kanina pa yun nabibilaukan" sambit ni Kyla
Sinamaan ko naman siya ng tingin kaya napa tawa siya
I decided to sleep muna para maraming energy later
Pag gising ko, Alas 4 na nang hapon
I looked at Kyla, At tulog mantika pa
Umiiling nalang ako at lumabas
Sakto namang lumabas sina Ella
"Tita Jema!" Lumapit si Jeron sakin
"hi baby, bagong gising ah" sambit ko
"Yes po, Dada said I should sleep para daw po maka sama kita later" sagot niya
Napa tingin ako kay Ella, she just shrugged
"Let's go, baby?" I said
He smiled and intertwined our hands
Ella did the same on his other hand
Para tuloy kaming happy family
Ginusto ko din naman
"Dada look more shells!" Jeron said
Yung pagiging madaldal minsan nakuha niya talaga kay Ella eh
Ella just smiled at tumingin sa sunset
Napa ngiti ako at Tinabihan siya
"I thought, you don't want to see me" She said
Napa tingin naman ako sakanya
"i-I don't know either..." sagot ko
Hindi ko din alam, bakit ba?
Bakit ba ako lumalapit sakanya?
"If ever given a chance, pwede ba tayong bumalik ulit sa umpisa?" She suddenly asked
I looked at her, and she looked so serious
" Dada I saw a crab in there oh" Singit ni Jeron
Tumango nalang si Ella at ibinalik yung tingin sakin
Should I give her a chance?
Ready na ba akong marinig ang paliwanag niya?
Dahan dahan akong tumango
She told about what happened that night
Mukhang may nilagay si Laura sa inumin ni Ella at that night that's why she felt dizzy
"S-so,hindi mo anak si Jeron?"I asked
Umiiling naman si Ella at tinignan si Jeron
"Ngayon lang ako nag pa dna test, and the result was negative... Also that day, nawala si Laura" she heaved a sigh I placed my hand on her back
"If you want to cry, Just cry Ella"sambit ko
She rested her head on my shoulder at doon na umiyak I covered her face para di makita ni Jeron
After ilang oras ay tuluyan nang lumubog ang araw
"Let's go back na, atty. DJ. Baka hinahanap na tayo" sambit ko
Tumango naman siya
"Wait, Jema"sambit niya
I just looked at her
"Can we give it another shot?" sabi niya
"what?" takang tanong ko
"Can we try again? Pwedeng... Pwede ba kitang, ligawan ulit?" Tanong niya
Tinitigan ko lang si Ella
She's waiting for my answer
"Dada, Tita Jema let's go" Jeron said
"Jema" she softly said
Dahan dahan akong tumango
Napa ngiti siya at niyakap ako
"Thank you, Jema. I won't promise, but I'll prove it to you this time. I love you, sobra Jessica" She said
I smiled and hugged her back
