80 - Dragonfly

"He is here." Laura said as soon as she opens Althea's door. Then the little girls started screaming. "Calm down, girls. I don't think Daddy Victor will like it if he hears you screaming." He told the little girls.

"You are so pretty, Ate." Carrie said.

"Thank you very much, Carrie." Althea uttered.

"Mommy, why can't I go with them like Kuya Vino and Kuya Anthony?" Nathan asked.

"Anak, two chaperons are more than enough." Laura replied, smiling.

"I don't understand." Nathan said.

"You will, when you grow up." Laura uttered to end a possible lengthy conversation with her youngest son. "Are you ready, baby?" Laura asked Althea.

"Yes I am, Mommy." Althea said.

"You know, Mommy when I will have my first date, I will make sure to dress-up properly." Lauren commented.

"What's wrong with what I am wearing, Lauren." Althea asked.

"I told you, Ate, you should not wear casual attires on your first date." Lauren replied.

"I saw that in internet, too, Ate." Carrie said.

"Girls, I agree on what you'll wear on first date is important, but it also should go along with where you are going. You don't dress-up in mall. Thirdy said that they will just go on malling, that is why Ate Althea is in casual wear now." Laura explained.

"You are going to the mall on your first date? Boring!" Almira exclaimed while eyes are rolling.

"Do not be shock, Almira, that is the only place they are allowed to go, with Kuya Anthony and Kuya Vino. Now if you have objections you may directly asked your Daddy Victor." Laura said.

"I think we better go, Mommy. Remember we have to be home by 8pm." Althea said.

"I know this date is a bit frustrating, bawi ka na lang next time, Baby. Kapag pwede na talaga." Laura meaningfully uttered.

"Its alright, Mommy. I honestly understand. Buti nga pumayag si Daddy eh, I will settle on that for now." Althea said.

Thirdy and Althea with Vino and Anthony as chaperons immediately leaves going to the mall for their first date. Laura, like the Monteiro girls was complaining on the set-up of her eldest daughter's first date but her husband is very firm on his condition before he allows Althea to go out on a date with Thirdy.

"So ano ang gagawin ng driver ni Thirdy dito hanggang alas otso ng gabi?" Laura asked.

"Sabihin mo makipagkwentuhan muna sya sa gwardya." Victor replied.

"I cant believe you did that. This is the first time I saw a boy and a girl go out on a date with two chaperons and using the girl's car." Laura commented.

"That is better than I say 'No'. Saka mabuti na yung kotse natin ang gamit nila para siguradong maiuuwi ang anak ko." Victor said.

"Ganyan naman pala ang gusto mo eh, bakit pinasama mo pa si Anthony? Vino is enough to be a chaperon. Hindi ko talaga maintindihan, Love." Laura asked.

"Alam naman natin how close Vino is close with Thirdy, kaya mabuti nang kasama pati si Anthony." Victor said.

"Mukhang tumatanda ka na, Love. Did you forget that like Vino, Anthony is also very close with Thirdy?" Laura asked.
