Those Eyes

ELLA

"dada! look" My 10 year old princess said

Napa ngiti naman ako

"Tignan mo yan, Pinagpawisan ka na. come here love, your kuya Eli will get mad at you sige ka" Sambit ni Jema

Lumapit naman si Elisha

Today, is our boy's 11th death anniversary

Time flies so fast, and Out not so little girl is growing up

Unti unti ko ding nakikita si Jema sa kanya

"Dada hold baby elian muna" sambit ni Jema

Kinuha ko naman si Elian

"Dada, jewwy ace" sambit niya

I chuckled and gave him jelly ace

Our Elliott Miguel G. De Jesus

Our 5 year old youngest

5 years na kaming kasal ni Jema

And I'm so happy to have them

My wife, and my three kids

Including Our kuya Elijah

"Dada Kuya ijah?" Elliott tilted his hesd

"That's your kuya Elijah, love" sambit ko

Elliott smiled at me

"Eliott come to mommy na, diba you want milk"Sambit ni Jema

"Mik mommy, mik pyease" Elliot said

Napa tawa naman ako

"Manang mana sa ate"Sambit ko

"Mommy oh, si dada" Sumimangot naman si Elisha

"Alam mo ang lakas mong mang asar sa anak mo eh" Sinamaan ako ng tingin ni Jema

Napa tawa nalang ako at niyakap si Elisha

"Ayoko dada" She pushed me away

"Ano ba yan nak, amoy araw ka na" sambit ko

"dada naman eh!" She whined

"Ang arte ah! Mana sa nanay" I whispered on the last part

"Ano sabi mo?" Jema's brows furrowed

" Ang sabi ko, ang ganda niyo pareho ni Elisha" Pag iiba ko

Kinurot naman ako ni Jema sa pisngi

"Dada, want dada mommy" Sambit ni Elliott

Aba,akala ko tulog na

"Daming energy naman netong si Elliot"I said as I carry him

My phone suddenly rang

I heaved a sigh bago sinagot yung Tawag

"Tato toti!tato" napa tawa kami pareho dahil Kay Elliott

I ended the call kasi nilalawayan na ni Elliott yung cellphone ko

"Ano ba yan love, yung laway mo naman" Sambit ko

"Here oh lovey, wipe it" She handed me Elliot's handkerchief

"Thanks babe" I kissed her cheeks and then wiped the screen

We went home kasi dumidilim na

And delikado kay Elliot

"Ate, do your assignment muna" Jema said while cooking sa kitchen

I smiled and nilapitan siya

I hugged her from the back

"Hi wife" I whispered and kissed her neck

"Hello, lovey... Dun ka muna sa sala, si Elliot love" sambit niya

"What did you cook?" I asked

"Sinigang and adobo. Tikman mo love dali" sambit niya

Tinikman ko naman ang luto niya

"Sarap, bagay na bagay talaga maging house wife" I smiled

She rolled her eyes on me kaya napa tawa naman ako

"My, da, cowor" Our elliot said

"Aba, gusto na mag color color ng baby boy namin" I carried him

"Your Mommy's cooking pa love" I showed him Jema

Napa ngiti naman si Jema

"Mommy,dada!" I felt Elisha hugging us

This is what Pahinga feels like

Going home from work

And then You're already resting when you saw your wife, and your kids

Jema's eyes did not just capture my eyes

But also my heart

And my heart, will always be hers

Only for Jema

Kasi sakanya lang titibok ang puso ko

Whenever I'm with her, I am already resting

Kasi siya ang pahinga ko

And i can finally say I'm home
