Jean

Nagc-co parenting kami ni tonton kay hope, si hope ay teenager na at alam niya ang boundaries niya saamin nang tatay niya, at alam niyang hindi siya pwedeng lumagpas. At alam din namin ni tonton ang boundaries namin sa isa't-isa lalo na't may bago na siyang asawa at tatlong anak.

Jean

Nakita ko ang anak kong si hope na nagbibihis na, dahil susunduin siya ng daddy niya. Kaya hindi ko siya mahatid sa school dahil busy rin ako at may trabaho. Maaga ang trabaho ko kumpara kay tonton, Hapon na ang trabaho niya at umaga naman ang akin. "Mommy alis napo ako nand'yan napo si daddy sa labas" saad ni hope "oh siya, sige na at baka malate pa kayo" hope kissed me on the cheek and I kissed her on the forehead.

Jean

Narinig ko ang cellphone ko na may nagtext at si tonton ang nagtext. Sinendan nila ako ng picture habang nasa sasakyan sila, at I said to my mind "cute ng mag ama". Nagulat ako ng may tumawag sa telepono ko, si gelly pala " hello bes, bes hello" "oh ano ba 'yon" saad ko sakan'ya sa telepono, "uy ano 'yon ha, kita ko kotse ni tonton d'yan sa labas ng bahay niyo ah" " 'yan lang ba talaga ang sasabihin mo?, stop teasing me gelly, tonton just fetched hope, walang malisya ano kaba" "oh siya, punta kana sa opisina at madami pang gagawin dito, nako, nako, nako late ka nanaman bwesita ka" "oo na, heto na papunta na"

Papunta na sa kwarto si hope then I noticed her sad cute face, natawa nalang ako nang unti dahil sa mukha niyang 'yon. "Oh baby, ba't parang malungkot ka? " I asked her "daddy didn't picked me up in the school earlier. " habang nakunot at nagpout ang noo at labi niya, hahaha! She's so cute talaga "don't worry baby, gusto mo bang magdinner tayo ng daddy mo mamaya? " as I told her, her face suddenly change with happy face, "reallyyy? " hahaha! "Oo naman para sayo, baby" alam kong maakwardan lang kami ni tonton, but okay lang naman for hope lang.

Jean

Nasa restaurant na'ko at nandito nadin sila, pinauna ko na dahil matagal pa ang out ko sa trabaho. Hinahanap ko sila at nakita ko silang nagtatawanang mag ama, lumapit agad ako sakanila and I embraced hope and smiled at tonton.

I know it's a little bit awkward for us ni tonton. But it's for our daughter "oh mag order na kayo, what do you want baby?, mag order lang kayo treat ko" ton said "really daddy yayy" and hope smiled and hug him "and let's go to the skyranch after our dinner to have some fun, is that alright? " he added. Hope nodded with an excitement on her face, "Jean , is that okay with you? " ton asked "ofc, yes, I'm sure hope will have so much fun. " I said, "so let's order? " "yes sure " I said

Tonton

I still can't believe were complete now, I wish we're always like this.

" You two are done?, let's go now. So we can go home early " I talked to them and they nodded.

At the parking lot

" I can drive myself to skyranch, you two can go now " Jean said, " no, you'll come with us in the car " I insist " yeah, please mommy please" as hope begged her mom to come with us in the car "okay, okay fine, you know I can't resist you, baby. " "YAY YAY, thankyou mommy! " okay let's go now? " saad ko sakanila

Skyranch

Jean

"It's beautiful here. The view and everything, thankyou for bringing us here ton" I said "no problem, for hope" then tonton's phone ring, and I saw it's Valerie. "You should go home now ton" I said "you sure, Jean? " "yes" "let's go, I'll take you two home first. Something bad might happen to you two. " "payag kaba mommy" "you really sure ton? " "of course I am very sure" he said

***

Everyone is silent until we arrived home "dito nalang kami, salamat sa paghatid ton. " I thanked him, "bye daddy see you tomorrow! "  tonton embraced hope and kissed her on the forehead. "Be kind on your mommy okay? She might get mad at you, dragon pa man din magalit 'yan" as they two laughed "aba, ikaw nga parang-" naputol ang salita ko dahil tumawag si valerie, ang asawa ni tonton. "Hinahanap ka na yata, ton"  "sige na, papasok na rin kami sa bahay" dugtong ko. "Sige thankyou ulit sa time, Jean. " grr why I'm still blushing at him. He let us in before leaving.

Next day

Hope called me "mommy, bond tayo tomorrow ni daddy, it's Sunday naman eh, day off niyo naman diba? "  "alam kong hindi mo’ko titigilan base d'yan sa boses mo, hope"  saad ko sakan'ya "hehe pleaseeee"  "you really know that I can't resist you, okay fine. " "YAYAYYY, thankyou mommy! " napasigaw siya sa telepono dahil excited na s'ya.

I saw ton message me.

Okay lang naman sa'kin dahil para kay hope naman din naman 'to, we know that it's awkward because we're already divorce, but I don't want hope to feel that she have an broken family.
