A Love To Call My Own

Chapter 38

Nang maka panhik sa itaas si Scarlett na sinamahan ng katulong ay nag aya ang dalagang sundan sa labas ang mga bata na agad namang pina unlakan ni Mitch. When they got there she was so surprised to see that Vladimir was actually smiling as he was riding a little pony and Norlito was holding the leash and leading the pony for a walk. While Draco was riding his own on his own, making the pony run around and jump on the little obstacles around the stables. Charlotte on the other hand was with Dianne on top of another pony looking like she's also enjoying it, while Juvy seem to be taking a video. Hugo is petting a little pig while her dad is holding him and her mom taking a photo too. She saw her brothers with their sister Alondra, riding huge stallions out in the distance.

"Hi mom, hi dad sorry I did not manage to get down when you arrived." Bungad nya.

"Hi anak, it's okay, Mary said you were busy." Sabi ng mommy nyang ngumiti at sandaling itiigil ang pag kuha ng larawan at bahagya syang hinagkan sa pisngi.

"Hi baby, your son likes to pet the pig that he actually let him drink from his milk bottle." Naka ngiting sabi ng dad nya, panabay silang na tawa ni Mitch.

"I guess he wouldn't be using that bottle then, but I hope it's not his favorite because he'll surely throw a tantrum." Na iiling na sabi nya.

"I hope not!" Panabay na sabi ng dalawang lalaki.

"You said it's just a stable in here, how come it looked like a zoo?" Maya-maya'y baling nya kay Mitch matapos igala ang paningin sa paligid, bukod kasi sa mga kabayo, may malalaking hawla na may makukulay na ibon, may mga naka alpas  na manok na sari-sari ang laki at mukhang hindi naman katayin kundi pet lang talaga, saka mga biik na mukhang pet lang rin at dalawang pares ng peacock.

"Well, it's Dianne who like those birds, she attended a bird rescue program a couple of years back and she got hooked, so she asked if we could set up a temporary habitat for them, and since it's hard to set one up in Manila so here they are." Naka ngiting sagot ni Mitch, looking very proud of his daughter.

"You have one great kid there hijo." Sabi ni Adrie na ngumiti.

"I know mom." Naka ngiting sagot ni Mitch saka inakbayan ang dalaga at...

"Do you want to go for a quick ATV ride around the property?" Tanong nitong may pilyong kislap sa mga mata at may munting ngiti sa mga labi.

"Just an ATV ride?" Na ninigurong tanong nyang bahagyang naka taas ang kilay, tumawa ito saka...

"Maybe." Sabi nitong di mabura ang ngiti.

"Nah! Maybe next time, it's getting late na eh, kumain na muna tayo." Sagot nya kasabay ng...

"Mitch hijo, kami'y nakapag luto na, ako ga'y mag papahain na?" Anang isang matandang sumulpot sa likuran nila.

"You're always perfect timing nay, Sige po paki hain na ng mga pagkain at susunod na po kami." Sagot ni Mitch sabay bulong ng...

"Saved by bell." Sabi nito saka sya hinagkan sa pisngi saka tinawag ang atensyon ng isa sa mga bodyguards at inutusang tawagin na ang lahat dahil kakain na nga.

A couple of minutes later while waiting  for everyone to get back ay pinag tulungan nila ni Mary na linisin ang mga bata para maka kain na ang mga ito. Juvy and the other crew volunteered to feed them matapos nilang linisan, kaya si Vladimir na lang ang inasekaso ni Mary. She asked Imir earlier when she was cleaning him if he was having fun and he said yes, kaya na tuwa naman sya at magaan ang pakiramdam na dumulog sa mesa, sa tabi ni Mitch pagkatapos. She noticed Scarlett sitting beside the poker faced Jacko na nandito rin pala, hindi nya na puna kanina, siguro kasama ng dalawang kapatid nyang mangabayo kanina. Mitch picked up his wine glass and raised it and then he opened his mouth to speak and say..
