While driving he looks at her and uttered
"Thank you for coming babe." she looks at him with a smile and said, "I will always love to accompany you, babe."
I was amazed by her sweetness, love, and tenderness. I always want her for the rest of my life. Were going to my province now to introduce her to my family and relatives.
"Nandito na sila!" Sixto shouted
"Let's go, babe, this is the home we used to have our reunion here, but when Alicia mom passed away we never have a reunion since then." he paused and give a kissed with his mom "Mom, this is my girlfriend Lana." she gives a kissed and warm hug and Lana responded "Hello po, sobrang ganda po ng bahay niyo." she replied. Joash's mom smile and she said "Thank you. Let's go ija meet our big family."
"Babe this is GRACE." he introduced
"Why five?" she asked curiously
"This is Gab, Ralph, Alicia, Collins, and Eleanor. Kaya GRACE for short. Gab mom and dad planned it so badly when they are at our age. I'll tell you a story later babe." He said with excitement
"Mag ingat ka dito kay Joash, sabihin mo sakin pag sinaktan ka mananagot sakin to." utas ni Gab.
"Kaming bahala sayo ni Kuya at Collins if Joash makes you cry," Ralph said.
"We got you baby," Collins said with a big smile.
"Kayo naman tinatakot niyo masyado si Lana, come here dear let me introduced you to my other clan," Alicia said and walked to his Tito Calix
"This is Tito Calixto family Tita Thea his wife, Sixto the eldest and Terry the youngest," she said
"Hello po sa inyo." she replied
"Sobrang ganda naman nitong girlfriend ni Kuya Joash, papakasalan mo na ba ito?" Sixto said teasingly
"Of course I will be Sixto! That's easy to answer." He laughed
"Let's introduced her to your Mom and Dad Ate Alicia," Terry said
"Okay then," she replied
"Lana this is my Mom, Sheryl and this is my Dad Steven." Alicia said, "They passed away last year in the car accident."
"I'm so sorry to hear that Alicia," she said
"It's fine, Joash owes you a story of our family," she replied. I'm Joash ate and he trusts me, sabay kaming lumaki dito sa Bulacan nag punta lang siya sa Manila when he entered college because of his sports career. But our childhood is a hell of a story. She laughed. "He really owes me a story then." they laughed "Yes he is!" Alicia pointed out.
"Joash, lunch is ready," Felicia said
"Yes mom, be there in 2." he replied. I blessed the food and our lunch turns out full of laughter and memories in our house.
"Naalala niyo pag tapos na kaming maligo lahat ng boys, tatakbo kami simula sa C.R. tapos wala kaming tuwalya. And Tita Sheryl will be mad at us because of our morning routine." Sixto said
"Oo tapos sasabihin ni Mama kay Kuya. Gab! clean this or else you will go to school without money." Collins replied
"Tapos si Kuya mababadtrip kasi siya panganay, it turns out pag dating sa school lagot tayo lahat sa kanya. Pero my biceps always save our ass." Ralph said teasingly with flexing his biceps.
"Never kayong nanalo sa suntukan sakin." Gab said proudly
"Nag susuntukan kayo before?" Lana asked to Joash
"Yes, all boys kami kaya madalas sa amin ang pag didiskusyon pero lugi kami kay Kuya Gab, kasi super athletic niya alam niya lahat kung saan kami tatamaan ng di na kami makakatayo." he replied
"Is he a brawler?" she asked
"No I'm not Lana, I'm Taekwondo player," he replied
"Oh! That's why," she said
"All of us are into sports, because of my mom." Gab said and everyone smiling at each other and said "We really love Sheryl. Lana, she's one of a kind woman, and Steven is the best uncle we've got." Sixto said
"Tell me a story later babe," she said
"Yes babe, I will tonight," he replied
