Long Lost Daughter

41

Nang makarating kami dito, nagtatago si Celestine sa likod ko.

Ang cute-cute ng baby ni mommy.

Pinipilit din siya ng daddy niya na umalis sa likod ko pero ayaw niya.

...

Ate imee asking her, what's her name or who is she but Celes'tine didn't answer. Her looks is nervous.

"Ate..." I call to ate imee.

"Hmm??"

"She's not my adopted child, she's not Celes." I said.

"Okay...sino nga siya?, Nakakaloka ka ang tagal mo." Sabi ni ate.

"She's...Celestine, my long lost daughter"

I saw their reaction when i say that, priceless.

"Y-your what??, I-is she my???"

"Yes ate, siya nga" i answered her.

She immediately hug Celestine fast and tight.

"Omygoodness irene, is she my apo??" Mama meldy ask.

"yes ma, she is"

"Ang laki-laki na ng pamangkin ko!!" Panggigigil ni ate.

"Where have you been, Veronica" sabay na si mommy naman ang yumakap kay Celestine.

Veronica talaga ang tawag ni Mama meldy sa kaniya, eversince.

"Bonget and liza is on their way na here." Sabi ni ate.

"Ang ganda-ganda" sabi nila.

Tama kayo, mana sa mother e.

"Ang tagal ka naming hinintay, 'nak." Sabi ni ate na medyo naiiyak.

"Nakakaloka nga, kala namin kung sinong kasama ni irene. Ikaw na pala" sabi pa niya.

"Masaya po akong makita na po kayo" sabi ni celestine.

She hugs her tita and lola too, how's sweet.

...

"Ate imee's cooking a food, you want to rest muna?" I asked her.

"sige po." She answered.

Sinamahan ko siya papunta sa kwarto ko dito.

Doon kami matutulog, sa kwarto ko.

Pagpasok namin tinitingnan niya ang kwarto ng maigi.

I suddenly remember when she's only a baby, i used to sleep with her here.

"I'll go downstairs baby, im going to help your tita." I said.

She smiled at me and she agree.

I was about to go down, when i heard a piano.

Kwarto ko lang ang may piano dito, since i really love musics.

I slowly walk in my room, sumisilip ako ng kaunti si Celestine ang tumutugtog.

She..she's so good at musics, she's so good at all.

A talented princess.

Umurong 'yung pinto dahilan para tumigil siya.

"M-mommy..kanina pa po kayo?" She asking me nervously.

"Uhm..no?"

"S-sorry po, sinubukan ko lang po kung marunong pa ko--"

"You don't have to say sorry, baby" i cut her off.

"You're actually good pala in playing a piano?" I asked her.
