Emancipating The Love (On-going)

Chapter 29

Invited

Days have seemed to have wings as it flew by so quickly. Sooner than they have anticipated, their luggage is now packed at the back part of the Raptor car.

Indeed, time flies when you're enjoying life. It's as if the world is kind enough to let you experience happiness but so cruel that you get to smile first before suffering.

"Balik agad kayo rito kapag may oras kayo, ha? Naku, tatahimik na naman ang bahay at wala na ulit itong apo ko." Tatay Sito said as he pinched Elli's nose who was hugging his legs.

"I will miss you po, lolo Siro. Ikaw din po, ate Frances." The ever loveable child said as she clung to the two dear humans.

"Pakabait ka, baby girl, ha? Huwag mo pasakitin ulo ng mommy mo." Frances crouched to level Elli's height.

"Will never!" It was an oath Elli internally took. She's seen how much stress her mom gets and she didn't want to be a reason why she'd get high blood.

"Thank you, tatay, Frances. It was a fun week being here." Lea hugged them and gave them a peck of their cheeks.

"Anytime, anak. Bukas palagi ang tahanan namin para sa'inyong mag-anak." Tatay Sito's words reminded Lea of how much he's always loved her. She wasn't biological his, but he stood as her real father when she couldn't feel her own dad's love.

"Sige na at baka hindi ko pa kayo paalisin!" The old man joked as he chuckled, hiding the sadness he was feeling.

The two Galvez' bid their good byes once more as Aga opened the door for his royalties, buckling their seat belts for them.

As he closed both the passenger door and backdoor, he faced the two individuals who welcomed them whole-heartedly despite his sudden schedule of visiting.

"Naku, kuya ha! Dapat sa susunod hindi na lang si Elli kasama niyo papunta rito! Dapat may playmate na siya. Napapagod po ako sa energy ng junakis niyo! Hyper kung hyper!" Frances threw few words as she fist bombed with Aga then hugged him.

He chuckled at her words, shaking his head. The young lady has been drawn closer to him within the few days they stayed in their lovely home.

"Totoo 'yan, anak. Malaki na ang pag-itan ng edad, pwedeng-pwede nang sundan. Parang handa na rin naman maging ate si Elli." Tatay Sito supported which made Frances nod her head uncountable times.

Aga let out a laugh. They were pressuring them but it wasn't tensing Aga. "Kayo po talaga! Huwag po ako ang sabihan niyo, 'yung asawa ko po tutal siya naman po ang magbubuntis, alipin niya lang po ako kung sakali."

His reply earned a loud series of cackling from both the elder and the teenager who had their votes on him the very first time they met.

He was a simple guy who you can go easy with. He owns such intelligence that can catch-up with the genius wife and inquisitive child, moreover, he has the patience no one can surpass with Lea's unpredictable personality and Elli's trust issues, indeed, Aga's the perfect man to build a family with.

"Seryoso nga, iho. Damihan niyo na habang bata pa kayong dalawa! Iba ang saya na dala ng mga bata." Tatay Sito advised as he tapped Aga's back.

"We're just waiting for the right time po. In God's will. Sa Diyos ang awa, sa'amin po ang gawa." Aga smoothly added a joke as he finally made in front of the driver's door.

"Mag-ingat sa pagmamaneho, tawagan niyo kami kapag nakauwi na kayo. Ingat!" Tatay Sito baid as the engine started. Lea rolled her window down and so did Elli. The family of three said their goodbyes for the last time as the car finally went off.
