The Virgin Mother ✔

Another chapter

5 years later...

"Love, alis na ako. Where's my lunchbox?" My husband cutely asked.

"Ah, right.. sorry, medyo sunog yung kabilang part ng chicken, ka--" He swiftly kissed me on the lips.

"It's fine. Alam kong masarap pa rin yan. Oh, wow.. three dishes? You managed to do them this morning? Wow, you're wonderful." I smiled and kissed him. He wrapped his arms around my waist to pull me closer. As we deepen the kiss...

"Mommyyy! Si Drew oh inagaw yung cookies ko! Meron naman siya nun eh." Agad kaming naghiwalay ni Ivo at tumawa siya.

"Hirap ng may kambal agad.." Bumulong siya sa akin at nagtawanan kami.

Lumapit ako kay Angela na nakanguso at nakahalukipkip pa. "I'll just put another on your lunchbox, okay? Say bye to daddy, he'll be off to work."

"Why the face, little angel? Brighten up! Every morning's a good day to be alive, I'm always telling you that, right? Come on. Kiss daddy goodbye." Lumapit si Angela na medyo nakasimangot pa rin at humalik sa pisngi ng daddy niya.

"Bye daddy. Take care. Love you lots!" Tumawa na lang si Ivo.

"Andrew! Have I told you before, not to take your sister's snack? Be fair. I'm only giving you one each." I gently scold Andrew.

"Drew, come here, kiss daddy goodbye too." Andrew seemed to ignore me and grinned to Ivo.
Ay, pasaway na bata talaga!

"Okay, alis na ako love. I love you, beautiful."

"Sure, take care driving. I love you too."

"Ma, I wish dad's not going to work everyday para hindi na kayo nagkakahiwalay." I smiled at Andrew.

"It can't be helped. He needs to go to work to provide for us... and he has a goal only adults will understand."

"Won't we, as kids, not understand it?" He innocently asked.

"You may, but it's too complicated for you right now. So you just have to learn first your ABCs and 123s." I chuckled and pat his head.

"Bored na yata ako sa puro ABC, mommy. I don't know if Angela enjoys it."
Andrew's a bright boy. He asks too many questions, and thinks pretty advance.
Angela's a sweet girl, just a bit moody sometimes.

Nawalan ako ng isa noon, pinalitan naman ng dalawa.
Feeling ko, hindi naman ako nawalan.. yung ugali ni Andrew at Angela ay parang pinaghati ng ugali ni Angelo.

My husband and my kids are my precious treasures.
In this life, when you are down, there's no other way than to go up. With the help of your loved ones, you won't fail. They're a part of you no one can take away.
