It's been 7:00 in the morning, I woke up due to the early call from my secretary. I look at my wife already been staring at me. I never notice that she was awake too. I was busy thinking about what my secretary told me regarding Courtney's emotional attachment to my business partners son. After the shock I was trying to anticipate how they knew each other I guess that man has a big impact why my daughter doesn't want to go go out in her room now. Since that merger happened I never had any idea until today.
I looked to my wife who's already been sitting beside our king size bed and brushing her golden hair. She's still beautiful and sophisticated nothing has changed just add her age, despite all the tragedies and fights we passed through the years still we managed to arrange our marriage for our kids sake. She's getting well now after a month of medication due to her high blood and diabetes. Thanks God for the mercy He has on us. She looked at me and smiled. " Morning Honey, what do you want for breakfast?" She asked me. " It's been ages since we have time to eat as a family together in one table I guess let's cook something for kids. Both are here today let's cook their favorites right?" I replied her. " Yeah I'll cook pancakes, ham and egg for Courtney and you'll make soup and hotdogs for Dave and let's make avocado shake that we love all." She replied me.
We got up holding hands to go downstairs to our kitchen where our long time house keeper Arcelli is drinking coffee. After the sickness my wife had we became close much more understand each other and forgive more often. She was always supporting me to my decision since Courtney leave us because of their mother daughter misunderstanding. I know if I'll talk to my eldest she will understand her.
We told Arcelli that we will be the one who will cook for our breakfast and we told her to go to Courtney's room and Dave to wake them up as we will surprise them. We knew that they were still kids since the last time we did this. Simple yet we knew that anyone missed this kind of family bonding.
While we are making our own breakfast my wife and I talked a lot about Courtney. Our baby girl changes a lot. Not only her physical transformation but also the way she talks to everyone. That we never saw her growing I personally admit I was focused on our business as she was always with her mother but a lot changed since that man let her heart broken.
" I push her to the things she wasn't happy, but because she's a good daughter she followed me even if it hurts her" my wife said that I notice tears falling down her bony cheeks. I hurriedly get a tissue and wipe her face. While I'm patting her back. " I was so selfish just because I want attention of the media and I want her to be like me" she added but this time she's smiling directly at me. " I admired her for her self bravery and confidence to fight for what she wanted. She's really same like you, persistent enough to prove yourself to be known." She added while touching my face. I looked at here intently and hug her to let her know that life is still good. Not to late to realize her or my mistakes to change it for the better.
Exactly 8:00 in the morning breakfast is served. As we removed our aprons we sit on our designated chair and wait for them to go down. While my wife stand again to fetch the news paper and magazine for her.
After 5 minutes passed Dave get down still yawning. Surprised on his face as he is trying to clearly looking on us like there's a surprise waiting for him. We both smiled and greet him good morning. He sit near me while he was looking on the food in the table. Like a kid with a goofy smile on his face looking his favorite meal. Another 5 minutes Courtney was still wearing her pajamas with a messy bun on her head. She looks so innocent and her eyes numb and sad like she didn't sleep well last night. She directly sit near to her mom and greet us all good morning. She's a bit surprised as well as she was looking on her favorite breakfast meal
" Been a long time huh? Since we eat all together in one table like this ," I told them while I glance to each one of them. While my wife looking at Courtney. I tap her hand down the table. The kids were just silently nodding about what said. We start to pray and then start our meal for that day.
