"Nak, kumusta?"

A call from my Coach Roger woke me up.

"Doing great Coach Dad. Good morning po" Bati ko habang patuloy pa din sa pagkakahiga. "Why so early?" I asked with a husky voice.

"Just checking up on you"

"Weh? Sus. Ano nga po yun?"

I heard him laugh slightly.

"You have schedule for today?"

I immediately get up from bed at chineck yung schedule ko.

"Yes Coach Dad, photoshoot for an endorsement by 12pm"

"So you still have time to eat dinner with me?"

"Sure po. Tell me the exact time and address"

"Well, 7pm at the usual place. You want me to fetch you up?"

"No na po. Papahatid nalang ako kay Kief. Wait coach, what's the news ba? Bat parang biglaan 'tong pa-dinner mo?" Natatawa kong tanong.

"Dumating yung pamangkin ko galing France. Naalala mo yung kinekwento ko sa'yo nuon?"

Inalala ko muna sandali kung sino yung tinutukoy ni Coach.

"Jaithe?" I asked with doubt.

"Exactly. I just want to have a dinner with you two. Matagal tagal na din simula nung huli tayong nag dinner, Ly"

"Okay coach dad! I'll come. See you!" I bid my goodbye and immediately ended up the call.

I did my morning rituals at lumabas na sa kusina para kumain nang ..

"Good morning babe" Bati ni Kiefer na kasalukuyang nakasuot ng apron habang naghahain ng kutsara't tinidor sa lamesa.

"Good morning. Babe ka dyan" Sabi ko at hinalikan siya sa pisngi. Natawa lang sya. Pinaupo niya naman ako sa upuan at umupo din naman sya sa harap ko. Nakatingin lang ako sa mga pagkain kasi ang dami. "Kief, you cook all of these?" Tanong ko.

"Yep" Maikling sagot nito.

"Hala ang dami nito ah. Anong oras ka pa nandito?"

"Mga 5" He answered.

"Eh bat di mo man lang ako ginising? Edi sana natulungan kita" Sabi ko. He just smiled.

"You have to eat all of these ha. Masarap yan" Sabi ni Kiefer habang nilalagyan ako ng brown rice sa plato ko.
