Summer 2023, Batangas:
Charmaine bursts out of their beach house, in her pink and yellow swim wear, running to the shore half-dragging her Tita Riza who is holding her hand.
"Ta-ta! Huh-wee!!!"
"Baby, I'm hurrying. Stop running. Madadapa ka."
C has been bugging her Tita since breakfast to go with her to the beach. It's the last day of their stay in their vacation home by the beach in Batangas this summer.
R had the house built as a gift for M on her 27th birthday which is also the 5th anniversary of their first wedding in Maldives. It is a simple house but has everything they need for a comfortable vacation.
M was ecstatic. She kept saying "Oh My God!" and hugging him and kissing him, hitting his arm and pinching his face.
The kids love the place too. They would ask him every weekend if they could go, so R made sure they had time to go there at least once a month.
They share their Mom's love for the beach and the vacation home is the perfect gift not only for M but for the whole family.
"Nooooo! Wew is it?? Wew??" C cries.
"Where is what, baby?" Tita Riza asks with concern.
"My sand casow! Is gone!" C continues to cry. Her tiny face now crimson, her cheeks wet with tears and there's a look of alarm and extreme disappointment on her face.
"I don't know, baby. Where was it?" TR asks.
"Wayt here. It was wayt here." C says, stomping her feet and her eyes darting all over the beach.
"Charm! Why are you crying?" Thirdy yells from 3 feet away as he runs to her little sister's aid. R and M with Sebastian, in a stroller, are right behind him.
"Kuya... Our sand casow... " C sobs, burrying her tear stained face in her little hands.
"It's okay, Charm. It's okay." RT chants as he hugs his little sister.
R, M, and TR couldn't help but smile at the touching scene.
M walks to her kids and kneels on the sand beside them.
