George: Kenneth, good to have you back.
His dad greeted.
Kenneth: Thanks, dad!
George leaned in and took a better look at his phone. His wallpaper was a photo of his wife and two kids.
George: Nice wallpaper, huh?
Kenneth froze, and looked at his dad who was holding his phone.
Kenneth: Ah, yes. Sorry, da—
Before he can continue, his phone rang, it was his wife, Taki. He looked at his dad, asking for permission to answer her call. His dad patted his shoulder.
George: Go ahead.
Kenneth smiled.
Kenneth: Thanks dad!
Kenneth stood up and ran to a vacant room. Then George whispered...
George: Napaka-clingy talaga ng dalawang un. Hinde nga ako nag-kamali sa pagpili kay Taki para sa anak ko. Hinde ko inakala na eto ung maaabot nila.
George smiled. Then he noticed something from Kenneth's desk. His computer wallpaper was also a picture of his family.
George: Jusko. Clingy talaga.
Kenneth and Taki's phone call.
Taki: Hello, di?
Kenneth just smiled from hearing her voice, para bang 7 years silang nagka-hiwalay.
Taki: Daddy? Are you still there?
Kenneth: Yes! Sorry... Naano lng..
Taki: Did I disturb you?
Kenneth: No, not at all. Nag-uusap lng kami ni dad kanina, at sigurado akong nahuli na nya ko.
Taki: Nahuli? Saan?
Kenneth: Ung wallpaper ko. Pati ung computer wallpaper ko.
Taki: Bakit? Ano bang computer wallpaper mo?
Kenneth: Edi kayo nina Kyle at Sofia.
Taki laughed from the other line.
Kenneth: Why? Anong nakakatawa?
Taki: Oh my God, Kenneth, that's so cute.
Kenneth: Oo naman! Kayo ung nadoon eh.
Taki: Hmm! Magtrabaho ka na nga, Mr. CEO, Daddy, Medrano!
Kenneth laughed.
Kenneth: May bago ka ng term ah.
Then Taki laughed. Then Sofia reached for the phone and took it from Taki.
Sofia: Daddy!
Sofia yelled. She was crying, and that made Kenneth move the phone away from his ear.
Sofia: Daddy, go home na! I want to play with you na!
Kenneth: Sofie... Daddy has to work. I'll go home as soon as possible.
Sofia: Daddy, I want now na!
Then Kenneth heard her sniffs. Taki took the phone from Sofia as she calm down.
Taki: Sorry di, ah? May lagnat kasi si Sofia, kaya may tantrums.
Kenneth: Ganun ba? Eh, sabihin mo na lng na pauwi nako at dadalhan ko sya ng ice cream.
Taki: Huh? Eh may trabaho ka pa.
Kenneth: I'm sure dad will understand. Sige na... Bye, love you!
Taki: Okay, Bye! I love you too! Mwah!
Then the call ended.
