"Shh, 'wag ka na maingay nagpapahinga na ang mga bata." Suway ko kay ate.

Look like they are so tired.

Nasa terrace naman kami pero baka rinig pa din kasi since ayoko isara ang sliding door.

We are all here in one room, they want to sleep with us daw muna dahil namiss nila kami ng sobra and also gusto din nila Callie na kasama muna lahat matulog.

"So ano nga?, i-kwento mo na kasi." Pangungulit ni ate.

Nasabi ko kasi na nagkita kami kanina ni Greggy sa store.

"Lokaret ka!, kaya pala ang tagal niyo no'n sa loob ha." Pangaasar niya pa.

"Sa haba ng panahon, bakla ka doon lang pala kayo magkikita e." Ang ingay niya.

"Shh...Well it's really unexpected...unforeseen circumstances." I explained.

"Callie has no idea na tatay niya na ang kaharap niya kanina." And i looked at Callie's direction.

"I saw how surpised he was when Callie called me mommy, i really knew na nagka-idea siya na anak niya din si Callie." I said.

"Pero diba pumunta si Alfonso sa store?, i told him kasi na sabihin sainyo nila Shaina bilisan na...So nakita niya ba si Greggy?." Ate asked.

Nothing change, chikadora pa din talaga siya.

"Hell yeah, I thought he would be so much happy that he finally saw his daddy again...But i'm wrong."

"Wrong?, why?." she asked.

"Nung lalapitan na sana siya ni Greggy...i was so shocked, lumayo siya.. I really don't have idea na gagawin niya 'yon then bigla niya nalang sinabihan si Greggy na wala siyang daddy na cheater." I answered her.

"What?!, so alam niya?!" Ate asked me again.

"y-yeah, i don't know kung tama ba na sinabi ko o sana hinayaan ko nalang na sa'kin lang sila galit." And i looked at the sky.

"That's right naman, Naglalakihan na ang mga anak mo hindi mo talaga matatago 'yan ng habambuhay..Habang nalaki 'yan sila nagiging open-minded na." Ate cheering me up.

"yeah, that's the reason why i had to say it...They keep questioning me, they keep asking me. Ayoko din namang magtago nalang kami palagi sa California." I said.

"Nako, masayang-masaya nga ako at nandito na ulit kayo. Finally makakasama ko na ulit ang mga bata, kaya bukas na bukas igagala ko 'yan sila ha!." Sabay na tumayo si ate at iniwan akong nakaupo dito sa terrace.

Haynako, may kaagaw na talaga ako sa mga bata.

I let them sleep, I was thinking about Greggy.

It's too coincidence.

After a few minutes pumasok na din ako sa loob, tulog na silang lahat at ako nalang ang hindi.

Tumabi ako kay Luis since ayon nalang ang may malaki pang pwesto.

.....

I am preparing their things, aalis sila ngayon at hindi muna ako sasama dahil gusto kong sila muna ang mga magbonding.

Umalis na din sila Shaina, Clark and Lara kaninang umaga i think gagala din sila everywhere with Lara.

Ate was holding Callie, Luis and Alfonso is wating in the couch for their things.

"Luis, hindi ako nagjojoke...Si daddy andito talaga siya, i just saw him yesterday at the store." I heard him.

"Really?, but why didn't you tell me about that earlier?." Luis asked her kuya.
