Lea's

I am cooking together with Aj. Aga is still sleeping, he needs that. 

"Mom, can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah, sure. What is it?"

"Please don't take my question personally but, what are you doing here with me? I know things are not really that fine between you and dad. Why are you here with me?"

I stopped what I am doing. She's right. What am I doing here at Aga's house. I can just let Aj go here alone but here I am, I found myself joining Aj to go here.  

"Even though our relationship is not that fine for now, your father is still my friend. He became my friend before he became my husband."

"So you're here as dad's friend?"

"Well, to answer your question, yes. I am here as your dad's friend. No less, no more."

"Are you sure about that mom?"

"Yes, I am."

"Well, if that's your answer... Kunwari na lang na maniniwala ako sa'yo. Kunwari hindi ko po alam na mahal niyo pa rin po si dad."

This kid. Nagmana talaga 'to sa tatay niyang makulit. Hindi ko din talaga alam kung paano ko natatagalan itong anak ko na ito.

"Smells good." - Aga

Aga is now approaching us.

"Ags, dapat doon ka muna sa room mo para makapagpahinga ka. Aakyat na lang namin itong food mo." - Lea

"Hi, dad! How are you? Are you feeling better now?" - Aj

"Hug me nga muna, Aj." - Aga

Aj hugs his father.

"I feel much better now because my Aj is here." - Aga

"Ako nga lang ba talaga?" - Aj

"Also because of you, Lea." - Aga

"Ayun naman pala eh. 'Nay, ikaw talaga ang dahilan kung bakit magaling na itong si Daddy. Inuna niya lang sabihin pangalan ko pero ikaw talaga dahilan." - Aj

"Kahit kailan ka talaga, Aj! Ags, you eat this one na. Your daughter and I cooked this for you." - Lea

"Yun, mukhang mapaparami kain ko dito. Kayo pala nagluto eh." - Aga

"After you eat, you have to take your medicines and let's check your temperature again." - Lea

"Yes, ma'am." - Aga

And we ate together. Si Aj napakaraming kwento sa dad niya. Masaya naman ako kasi nakikita ko na sobrang saya ni Aj na kasama na niya at nakakausap na niya si Aga.

Yung mga kasambahay na ni Aga ang nag-offer na maghugas ng mga kinainan namin. Ako naman at si Aj ay chineck na yung temperature ni Aga at pinainom ng gamot.

"Dad, 37.5. Buti naman po at bumaba na. You should take a rest pa rin po." - Aj

"Thank God bumaba na rin ang temperature mo. Ags, your daughter is right. You should take a rest. I've already told them na cancelled na muna ang shoot mo tomorrow. Yung mga scenes ko muna ang i-shoot." - Lea

"Opo, mga boss. Masusunod po." - Aga

"Dad, as much as we want to stay here but we really have to go na po para di po namin ma-istorbo ang pahinga niyo po." - Aj

"Hey, hindi kayo istorbo sa 'kin. Kayo ang dahilan bakit naging maayos na ako ngayon." - Aga

"Aj's right. As much as we want to stay here but I think we really have to go, Ags." - Lea
