the re-union 5

It's been months and tomorrow, birthday na namin. It's the day na makukumpleto na ulit kami. We're gonna meet sa Blue Eagle Gym because nasakto na we have a camp there.

Ang alam lang ni mommy, she will bring me and Beatriz sa mall, but she doesn't know na Babba will be there too. I called Beatriz last month to tell her na engaged na si babba and tito Kief pero we're still hoping na maayos pa yung family namin, na tumira pa kami sa iisang bahay.

Alam na ni mommy Den, and we Facetime most of the time. Alam niyo ba, it hurts. Na hindi kami makumpleto. Na hanggang drawing nalang yung masasabi kong complete family picture. Tuwing nagvivideocall kami? We get into a picture sabay screenshot then I'd draw babba sa gilid ko.

Hays, why? Why did we become like this ba?

Today, birthday na ng twins and they've asked me to bring them sa mall after their camp. Maddie said na she told their babba na she was going to the mall with a few friends to spend the day with.

But Alyssa doesn't know na magmemeet ang twins with me and we'll spend the day sa SM.

I don't think din naman na sasama si Ly because knowing her, she'd rather do work than go out.

Hinintay ko lang na matapos sina Maddie sa camp and I went to fetch them na.

"Hey mom! Ihahatid na lang daw po si Maddie ng driver nila sa mall, we'll meet na lang po sa Timezone." Bea said as she sat sa passenger seat and I kissed her sa noo.

"Hay nako baby, ambaho mo po!" Asar ko kaya inirapan ako.

"Mommy naman eeeee. Pero let's go na please. I'm excited to see Madzilla!!" She said kaya I drove na.

Once we got there, naghug kaming tatlo and I kissed Maddie sa forehead sa sobrang pagkamiss ko sakanya.

"Mom, let's go po muna para kumain please? I'm hungry na po." Maddie said.

"Okay, where do you want to eat babies?" I asked and they both said Ramen Nagi so we went there.

Pag upo ko, I saw Alyssa. My Alyssa, ikaw nga ba yan?

"Uy omg!!! Babba's here pala. Is it okay mommy?" Tanong ng twins kaya I said yes, wala naman akong magagawa kahit mukhang planado to e.

"Girls be honest, did you plan this?" I asked kaya napayuko naman sila

"Sorry mom, it's the only way we know po para magsama kayo ulit eh" Bea said.

"Babba!" Sigaw ni Maddie kaya napatingin siya samin at napalaki yung mata niya. She's with Kiefer nga pala. Baka sila na.

"Dennise?" She said na parang hindi makapaniwala.

"Alyssa." I said.

"Hi Den." Kiefer

"Hi Kief."

"Hi babba." The twins said kaya napatingin siya and naiyak.

"Ly, babe, I'll leave na muna, Nico and Jho are coming to pick me up, kasama nina Jia and Migs." Kief.

"How?" Alyssa asked.

"They met at camp nung July, and the whole time after the camp, si Maddie yung kasama mo Ly." I said.

"What?! Izabelle Beatriz! " Alyssa sternly said kaya napakapit ang kambal sa akin.

"Ly, calm down!"

"No! Beatriz, umuwi na tayo. This is the last time na magsasama kayo. Thanks for taking care of her, Den." Sabi ni Alyssa sabay hila kay Bea.
