Dad recovered faster than the doctors expected.
So he's here in the villa just yesterday and playing frisbee with the dogs again.
The dogs came back from Manong Gil's house so his wife and kids took care of them for a little while, ever since dad was in hospital.
"Ah, I missed my furry kids." He rolled down on the grass as the dogs sniff and roll down with him.
I wonder if Angelo's still here? I shouldn't have scolded him before even if he went dirty and muddy.
Dad invited me for a meryenda today. He served me my favorite fruit parfait with lots of whipped cream on top.
"Do you feel better now, Marie?" He started.
"Mmm.. I think, I am." I slightly smiled while eating. "Naayos ko naman ang lahat ng dapat ayusin."
"Look, Marie, I know you're still upset at me.. and--"
"Dad, stop right there. I'm not.. upset anymore. It's.. it's all in the past."
"Really? I bet Angelo will be happy, then."
I glared at him. "Daddy.. do you want me to cry again? And be hysterical?"
Dad laughed a little. "No.. of course. Okay.. I'll get straight to the point. How are.. things between you and Ivo?"
"We're fine.. he's actually applying for another--"
"Get him back in our company."
Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. "Dad.. are you sure, you're feeling well?"
"Tsk. Of course, I am! I somehow patched things up with his father and soon, he'll be one of the stockholders in the company. You just.. continue how you worked before. You can marry--"
A smile is slowly creeping in. "Yes!" I exclaimed merrily.
"Hindi naman rin kita mapipigilan diba? Ivo's a fine, young man. His mother made him grow up well."
"Daddy... we.. actually.. completed plans. Execution na lang ang kailangan.. at date ng kasal."
Dad was pretty shocked, his mouth formed a big 'O'.
I discussed things with him and he's getting even more speechless. I can't help but laugh. I memorized every detail as if I was a wedding coordinator myself.
