after a weeks~~

After a long day we've been together here in our house which is my family's house, he told me na kung pwede ba daw ay bumalik na kami sa bahay namin.

Ate is fine na din gano'n din si kuya, they're agree na finally na mag-sama na kami ulit ni Gregorio.

We are packing our things now, we were moving onto our house.

Kanina ko pa tinatawag si Callie but she's not listening or looking at me.

"Callie, what's the problem?." Tungo ko sa kaniya.

She's not talking, umiling lang siya.

"Sige na, tell me." I am so worried.

"Mommy no please." She said and she was about to cry.

Nagtaka ako sa kaniya.

"W-why??." I asked her again.

"I-i don't want to go back...there in California." Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya.

So she thought we were gonna back there in California.

"Dito nalang po tayo." Her teary eyes.

I hold her hands at sinitsitan ko ang mga kuya niya dahil natatawa sila.

"Mommy!!, why are they laughing!!." Iyak ni Callie.

"No baby...Hindi tayo babalik do'n okay??." I said.

"So bakit po tayo nagpapack ng things?." She asked so polite.

"E kasi---."

"Irene, Greggy is there na sa baba." Sabi ni ate pag-pasok.

Magsasalita pa sana si Callie pero tinawag na siya ni ate para bumaba.

Tinapos ko na 'yung ginagawa ko since malapit naman na talaga ako matapos.

"Kuya Alf, kuya Luis let's go downstairs na." Aya ko sakanila.

They helped me to get our things and put them downstairs.

Pagbaba namin naiyak na si Callie, karga ni ate pinapatahan.

Greggy put our things in his car at kinuha ko si Callie kay ate.

"no!!!, tita ayoko po umalis!!." She's sobbing.

"Stop crying callie." Ate said.

"Tita!! No!!, i don't want to go back in California!!!." at nagulat si ate sa sinabi niya.

"No, Callie hindi kayo babalik sa California." Pagpapaintindi ni ate dahil ayaw sumama sa'kin ni Callie.

"Liar, liar tita...No please." hagulgol ni Callie sa balikat niya.

"Callie, we were just moving on to daddy's house!." Luis said, his patience of waiting for us is gone.

"No!!!." Iyak pa din niya, she really don't want to go back there..

The trauma she have.

"Okay, baby sama ka na kay mommy..." Nagaalangan pa siyang sumama, pero sumama pa din.

"Hindi na po tayo babalik sa California, see?..Tita Lara is not here so basically hindi tayo babalik doon withouth her, So listen to me...Lilipat lang po tayo sa house ng daddy, we can go and visit here anytime you want anak." Pagpapaintindi ko.

"Saan po 'yung house ni daddy?." She asked.

"1-2 hours away here anak, Vivisit tayo here anytime and pwede din na sila tita, tito and lola ang magvisit sa'tin doon." i answered.

"P-promise mommy?, doon tayo pupunta?." Paninigurado niya.

"Yes anak." I smiled at her.

I can't believe that she have a trust issues now.

Nauna na ang mga bata sa sasakyan, naiwan ako dito.

I am talking with ate at si kuya kagabi ko nakausap, mama is talking to me too kanina bago kami magimpake.

"Wala ng makulit dito nako, Dadalaw kami palagi sainyo...Malayo man kayo atleast hindi na sa California." Ate said and trying to laugh.

We hugged each other both at lumabas na din ako dahil naghihintay sila sa labas.

Paglabas ko ng bahay, Greggy is waiting for me.

"The kids?." I asked.

"Inside." He answered.

I was about to open the door but he hugs me.

"Why?." I look at him and he looks at me too, while we hugging each other.

He didn't answer me, he just smiled at pinagbuksan niya nalang ako ng pinto ng bitiwan niya na'ko.

He's kinda weird sometimes but i can understand what he wants to say.

...

"Look Luis, our house." Alfonso said.

We just arrive.

"O..my..gosh..I missed this!." Luis voice.

Callie is just quiet beside me, Greggy is getting our luggage in his car.

"Let's go?." Aya ni Greggy ng makuha niya na lahat ng gamit.

Sabay-sabay kaming nag-lakad papasok, I am so happy to feel this way.

We are finally in our house, we are finally complete.

"Wow!!!." At nagtakbuhan si Luis at Alfonso paakyat.

"Mga kuya becareful!!." Sigaw o
ko dahil ang bilis nilang mawala sa paningin ko.

"Look how excited they are, love." Greggy said and i smiled.

"Aren't you happy, Callie?." Baling ko sa kaniya because she's been quiet the whole ride.

"Ito po ba 'yung bahay ni daddy?." She asked and She looks at Greggy.

"yes 'nak uhm...This is actually our home, our house.." I said.

"Our house?." She asked again.

"Yes, 'nak." I told her.

"P-paano po?." She keep asking me.

"uhh you know it's a long story, you want to follow your kuyas?." Pagiiba ko ng usapan and she looks at the stairs.

"Go 'nak, tingnan mo ang kwarto niyo dali." Aya ko sa kaniya.

Umakyat kaming tatlo. Ako, si Callie at si Greggy.

Naabutan naming magulo na ang kwarto nila dahil naghaharutan sila sa kwarto.

"Why it's so messy here???." I asked.

"Si Kuya Alfonso po, he's running kasi." Baling ni Luis sa kuya niya.

"Ahh, Ikaw pala ang pasimuno kuya Alf ha!!." And he starts to run and i followed him around this room.

"Hold on!!, Gotcha!!." and we all laugh together when i catch him.

"Daddy up!!." Callie said. while jumping on the bed.

Greggy gets her, Sinakay siya ni Greggy sa balikat niya and they are running gently.

"Callie!!!, Catch me if you can!!!." Luis said and he starts to run too.

"yes i can catch you kuya, right daddy?? Let's go!!!." Tuwang-tuwa na sabi ni Callie and her daddy starts to run too while taking care of Callie in his shoulder.

We we're having a bonding right now.

Walang katumbas ang nakikita kong saya nila, i am so happy to finally see our family laughing together.
