CHRIS' POV

Weeks later I watch how she treats Eisen, how different her methods are in raising kids.

At si Eisen, sobrang saya niya kapag nag aaral sila ng Mommy niya. She used games, challenges and playing as disguise for making him learning.

She raised our son well...

Eisen will be starting home schooling next year at nag aaral pala si Ilia ng Child Psychology and Elementary Teaching through onlines kaya lagi syang pagod.

She doesn't want Eisen's learning trajectory to slow down.

This is the discussion we are having now in my office habang inaantay si Andy at Eisen dahil pumunta ang dalawa sa convinience store.

"Home Schooling? What about his social skills?"

"This age for kids are fragile. Eisen's IQ is that of an average 7 years old. He has special needs. When it comes to social skills I think he has too much of that already: he won everyone in your office at a snap of a finger."

She was right.

"I'll just send you a proposal." She stood up and I fucking don't know what went to my mind that I unmindfully grabbed her hand.

Gulat syang napatingin sakin. Maging ako ay nagulat.

"Let's talk about this, ayoko na idaan to sa papel." Palusot ko.

Bumukas ang pinto na nakahawak pa rin ako sakaniya.

"Wow. Nakaka istorbo ba kami?" Andy and Eisen was on the door. Mabilis kong binitawan si Ilia. Eisen giggled and ran to me.

"Daddy.. Let's go to Ochard."

"What? Where is that?"

"Mommy's garden"

"Oh... The orchard" I muttered...

"The oRRRRchard." He repeated with a strong R. We chuckled.

"Mommy please let's bring Daddy there. He needs to see it."

"Ah...Eh...But..." It felt awkward for her, I think.

"Mommy. Sabi mo po pupunta tayo don tas di na tayo nagpunta po." He lowered his gaze. He usually misplace his "po's" but I still find it cute.

"He was referring when some scumbag Carlos attacked Ilia. Now he is in behind bars. Pinatatagal lang namin ng pinatatagal ang kaso niya para mabulok siya don.

"Ask Daddy if he wants to go..." Ani Ilia.

"Daddy... Please... I want to show you Mom's orchard."

Oh baby, I have seen it believe me. Hindi ko nga alam kung doon ka sa bath tub don naconceive e.

I smiled at him widely.

"Sure. If that will make you happy..." I don't want to see that place I have to be honest. The memories are just so darn painful for me.

That same day hindi ko na tinapos ang office hours ay pumunta na kami ron via private plane.

Eisen was scared I might get lost in the clouds "again" and has been hugging my arm like a koala to a tree branch the whole ride.

Nakatulog naman si Ilia sa tabi namin. She must have been so tired juggling everything for Eisen.

We arrive atheir casa by lunch time.

Walang katao tao roon.

Euphoria... I realized. Ito ang araw kada taon na pinapausi ni Ilia ang lahat ng empleyado sa kani kanilang bahay. Walang maids, walang katiwala o ano pa man.
