[ALLISON'S POV]
Natutulog ako nang mahimbing nang may naramdaman akong mabigat sa ibabaw ko kaya agad-agad naman akong nag mulat upang makita kung sino iyon.
"Rise and shine, mommy Alli!" Bungad sa akin ng makulit na bata at pinuno ang mukha ko ng mumunting halik sa mukha.
I missed waking up with this view kaya naman hindi ko sinayang ang pagkakataon na ito para bigyan si Amber ng morning cuddles. I held her cheeks and showered her whole face with little kisses as well.
"Good morning, princess Amber," bati ko sa kaniya pabalik at patuloy lang sa pakikipagkulitan sa kaniya.
Our moment was interrupted when the door opened at nakita ko ang asawa ko in his usual night clothes: white shirt and pajama.
"Good morning, daddy!" Amber was in full energy kaya naman bumaba siya sa kama at dumiretsyo kay Monarch.
She extended her arms upwards, telling her dad to carry her. Monarch didn't disappoint our daughter dahil kinarga niya ito at binigyan ng halik sa pisngi.
"Nag kita lang tayo kanina sa baba ah," panimula ni Monarch. He looked at Amber with sharp eyes and a suspicious smile. "You're going to ask something, 'no?" Pang-aasar niya kay Amber.
She just giggled and buried her face on Monarch's neck. That means her dad is right.
We have the same way of admitting our favors dahil pareho kaming mahiyain when it comes to asking favors. The room was filled with our giggles dahil nag papa-cute pa si Amber to her dad. No one can resist Amber's charisma kaya naman napapayag niya ito and so he asked kung saan gusto pumunta ng prinsesa.
"I want to go to our favorite restaurant! You know, the one with trees and purple stuff."
Agad naman tumango si Monarch na tipong alam niya kung ano ang sinasabi ng anak namin, but I couldn't get it kaya naman tiningnan ko siya with a confused look. Nabasa naman niya agad kung anong gusto ko iparating.
"It's a garden restaurant," he plainly said and looked at Amber.
"What my princess wants, my princess gets." Laking tuwa naman ni Amber nang marinig iyon kaya nag kusa na siyang bumaba to go to her room pero pinigilan muna siya ni Monarch. "Ask your nanny to help you, okay? Baka mamaya gawin mo na naman swimming pool ang bathtub mo."
Amber just smiled innocently and ran away fast to get away from her father's sermon.
Papasok na rin sana si Monarch sa banyo nang ako naman ang pumigil sa kaniya. He just looked at me with arched eyebrows.
"How about me? Wala akong good morning kiss?" I pouted my lips and batted my eyelashes like a cute kid asking for a lollipop.
And there he goes again, being stoned as if I asked for something weird. Ilang araw na siyang ganito especially when our skins were touching or nag papalambing ako. I'm starting to feel weird kapag nagiging ganiyan ang reaction niya. Hindi ba ako ganito noon kaya siya ganiyan makareact?
