Irene's POV

continuation...

"Ms?" I heard my daughter's voice.

"Nandito ka po ba? Kung ikaw po yan labas ka na po dyan, kung multo huwag na." I softly chucked at her silliness. Matatakutin pala sya sa multo huh.

"Yes sweetheart, I'm at my vanity come in."

I turned to her side with a worried look as she walked in.

"Is everything okay?"

"Opo. Sinusundo ko lang po kayo kasi manununod na daw tayo ng movies, desisyon po kasi si Kuya Luis."

"You want me to come?"

"Ayaw nyo po ba?"

"Yes. I want to."

"Oh yun naman po pala eh. You already look beautiful per usual, let's go po." Bahagya naman akong napa-smile sa bigla nyang pag compliment sa akin.

"Really? You think so?" I asked while I was holding her hand as if she was a baby, na mawawala sa akin pag binitawan ko ang mga kamay nya.

"Opo, mana po kasi kayo sakin."

"Silly."

"Dear, can you pass me the kumot please? Baka lamigin si Ely." I asked Greggy since sya ang mas malapit.

"Here you go, love."

Nilagay ko na yung blanket kay Ely and I sat closer to her. I leaned my head on top of her and I didn't hear her complain so I also wrapped my arms around her.

I looked at the clock and I saw that it was almost midnight, I was about to ask my children kung hindi pa ba sila inaantok but before I could ask, I felt Ely's head on my chest so I looked at her.

Nakatulog na pala.

"Hey, dear." pagtawag ko kay Greggy.

"Yes, dear?"

"Nakatulog na si Ely." sabay turo sa anak namin.

"Can you please carry her na." pakiusap ko.

"Okay, dadalhin ko na sya sa kwarto nya."

"No, just put her in our room. Gusto ko syang makatabi."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, love."

As he was carrying her, muntik ng mauntog ang anak namin.

"Hey, careful naman!"

"Carefully! Pag yan nabalian, ikaw ang babalian ko!" banta ko sa aking asawa, paano ba naman kasi hindi sya nag iingat.

"Goodnight, my Eli." I said as I laid next to her and kissed her cheeks.

"Hon."

"Hon."

"Dear."

"Hm ano ba Greg. Five minutes." angal ko, bakit ba kasi nanggigising.

"Gising na, dear. Maaga pa tayong aalis remember?" napamulat ako sa sinabi nya nang maalala kong pupunta nga pala kami kina mommy, pero hindi ako makatayo kasi naramdaman kong may nakayakap sa akin.

Si Ely.

I couldn't help but feel kilig. My daughter is hugging me, but as much as I wanted it to last, we had to prepare pa kaya ginising ko na sya.

"Baby wake up."

"Tita five minutes." she said as she hugged me tighter and put her head on my chest.
