ELLA

"Yup, the meeting's adjourned. Thank you for the cooperation everyone" I said and stood up

Pag balik ko sa office, umupo ako sa swivel chair at tinawagan si Jema

[Hi hon! How's the meeting?]
"All good naman, hon. How are you? are you hungry ba?"
[Kaka kain lang namin ni Ry hon, teka... Ryry, your Dada's calling oh,]
"hello Jeo... Behave ka ba dyan kay mommy?"
[Dada! home, dada home]
"Dada will come home later, okay? Do you want dada to buy a kiddie meal?"
[ Yey! ddie meal!]
[Sige na hon, baka ma late ka pa sa next meeting niyo]
"Ten minutes late is not bad, my love"
[Is not bad ka dyan, sige na hon I love you!]
"Haha I love you too honey love... I'll see you two later okay?"

I smiled and ended the call

I miss my family so bad

Erika came in para sabay na kaming pumunta ulit sa conference room

"Your wife called po pala ma'am" Sambit ni Erika

Napa tingin ako sakanya sabay ngiti

"really? What did she say?" I asked

"She asked lang po if late ba po kayo sa meeting niyo" Sagot niya

I chuckled and smiled

"It's not that bad naman eh." Sambit ko

Pag pasok namin, tatlo nalang yung kulang

"Oh see, incomplete pa din naman tayo. So I don't have to worry about being late sa meeting" I chuckled

Napa tawa nalang si Erika

"Dada, yu home!!!" Bungad ni Jeo sakin

"Hello, my Rylle Jeoffrey. Miss na miss mo na si dada anak?" I smiled and kissed his forehead

"Hello hon" Jema suddenly came wearing apron

Napa ngiti naman ako

Kaka tapos lang ng bahay na pinapa gawa ko

And kaka blessing na din nito nung sunday

So now, we can finally live here until we get old

Kasi sila Jema and Jeo lang hanggang sa pag tanda

Hanggang sa huling hininga ko

"Good evening hon. What did you cook?" I asked

"I cooked sinigang and fried chicken for our dinner" Sagot ni Jema

I smiled and nodded at her

"Look, Baby dada got you a kiddie meal" I turned my attention to Ryry

"Yey!!!" He exclaimed

"Say thank you dada, Nak" Sambit ni Jema

"tikyu dada" Sambit naman ni Ryry

Napa tawa naman kami

"Thank you, dada yun love. Ulitin mo" Jema said

"It's okay, Hon. Wag na natin pilitin si Ryry. I know he'll learn it naman as he grows up" Sambit ko

Jema nodded and hugged me

I hugged her back and kissed her forehead

"I love you, hon" I whispered

"I love you too, hon" Jema said

Napa ngiti naman ako

"byu mmy,dada!" Sabat naman ni Ryry kaya napa tawa kami ni Jema

As days go by, my family has been doing good

Except

Bumalik ulit yung nag threatened dati kay Jema

I told her to block the number

Sinabihan ko ulit yung friend ko sa NBI

But I guess

Hindi na naman nila ma ttrack down like the last time

That sender is smart for sure

But let's see if we can outsmart him or her

JEMA

"Hon naman, ang pangit nga ng stretch mark ko oh", maktol ko

"Your body's perfect honey. Wala lang yang stretch marks mo, everything about you is perfect, no need to judge." Sambit ni Ella

I rolled my eyes on her

"Bolera! sige na yung floater ni bb hon" sambit ko

Narinig ko naman siyang tumawa

Today is sunday

And sunday means family day para saming tatlo

Nasa water park kaming tatlo

"Dada, pool!" Sambit ni Ryry

I saw Ella smiling

Kaya napa ngiti rin ako

"Good boy! We're in a swimming pool, anak" Sambit niya

As she placed him sa floater

"You're in a rubber duckie love" Sambit ko

I took a picture of him

"Dada, Picture kayo ni lovelove dali" Sambit ko

Ella went beside him and they both smiled

Ang cute ng mag dada!

"Ikaw naman mommy, Come here ako na mag .5" Ella said

Lumapit ako at ngumiti sa camera

After taking pictures, lumangoy langoy lang kami nila ella sa pool

Nang mag sawa, bumalik na ulit kami sa hotel room namin

"Naka tulog hon, mukhang na pagod kaka swim" Natatawang sabi ni Ella

Napa tawa naman ako
