Uggo

A soft giggle came from my daughter's lips. I loved the way she smiled and her laughter was like the song, a beautiful music to my ears. Binigay ko sa kanya ang isang pirasong rose na kinuha ko mula sa vase kanina, it was a gift from a friend last night na para sa mommy niya. Binigay ko kay Rani para paglaruan niya.

I chuckled when she ate the petals. Kinuha ko yung bulaklak at iniwas ko sa kanya dahil kinakain niya.

"It's not a food, baby. Bakit ba lahat ng nahahawakan mo ay sinusubo mo?" I said, still chuckling.

The two of were in the garden. We're just playing because her mom wasn't around. My beautiful fiancee was running some errands while me, I couldn't leave for work because of our daughter. How could I leave for work when our baby started crying when I was almost at the doorstep wearing my office suits and was carrying my laptop bag?

Naawa ako sa baby namin kaya hindi na ako pumasok sa trabaho. Saka, kaya naman ng secretary ko ang gagawin sa buong araw na wala ako. And besides, I had my CEO. Parang hindi na nga ako kailangan sa office.

Harry was busy with her small business, yung ginawa niya sa dati niyang trabaho ay ganun din ang ginagawa niya sa ngayon. She loved crafting and I was the proudest here. I was always cheering her up when she felt so down with her career.

I understood her as I also knew how it was feel like building your own business. Sa simula mahirap pero kalaunan ay unti-unti ding makakabangon. Ngayon ay umaayos din ang business niya, maraming umoorder sa mga gawa niya. Maraming nagpapagawa at lahat ng yun ay maraming positive feedbacks.

I was ready to help her naman anytime but she said she's fine without my help... for now. Pero ang sabi niya ay kung hindi na niya kaya ay hihingi siya ng tulong sa akin. But it looked like I was in no use because she was doing better.

At isa pa ay maraming mga tao naman ang tumutulong sa kanya gaya ni Maia na palaging nagpropromote sa mga gawa ni Harry, maraming mga kakilala si Maia kaya pati sila ay tumulong na'rin sa pagpropromote ng business ni Harry.

And while she's doing amazingly on her small business, ako naman yung naghahanda para sa kasal namin. Dalawang buwan nalang at ikakasal na kami. Tumutulong naman si Harry but I told her to relax and just mind her work, our daughter, and me, at ako nalang ang bahala sa lahat. We had very good wedding planner and I trusted them.

Our daughter was already eight months old. Palaki na siya ng palaki and I was one of the fathers in the world who cried everytime I was seeing my daughter growing older. Of course, men cry, men really cry.

Pero ang sabi ng fiancee ko ay huwag daw akong iiyak sa araw ng kasal namin dahil nakakahiya daw yun. Pero oo nga, bakit naman ako iiyak sa oras ng kasal namin. I should have a happy face not a crying face.

"Bah!"

"What is it?"

I looked down on my daughter, pinakita niya sa akin ang nahawakan niyang damo.

"Yes, a grass. Don't eat it baby." sabi ko.

We were just sitting on the grass. We didn't have blanket or anything. At hindi pa ako nakabihis ng pambahay. Yung anak ko naman ay nakapantulog pa. How nice our fashion these days.

"I miss mommy, you miss mommy?" I asked my daughter.

Hindi naman ako sinagot ni Rani dahil sa damo ang kanyang atensyon. I tilted my head as I looked at her. Rani got her mother's skin complexion and she also got her mother's lips and the shape of her face and lips. Yung sa akin naman ay mata at ilong at kilay. Parang pinaghalo lang na kami ni Harry. And it's perfect because our daughter was beyond perfection.
