The graduation ceremony ended. But we're still in the school.
"Congratulations sweetheart" Monica greeted her
"Thank you mommy!" Solaire thanked her and immediately hug Monica
"Congratulations baby ko" I said and kissed her cheeks
"Thank you mama" Solaire
Then suddenly, a woman approached us.
"Congrats Solaire" The woman said
"Thank you" Solaire answered with no smile on her face.
The woman who approached us is her Mom. It's Irene.
"C-can I hug y-you?" She asked while stuttering
"No" Solaire said
"Solaire, go on. Hug your mom" I said
"Fine" She rolled her eyes and hugged her mom.
Solaire immediately broke the hug.
Hoi! Ang awkward.
"How are you, Almira?" She asked
"Totally fine" I answered and smiled
"Is she your wife?" Irene
"Yes, This is Monica, my wife" I introduced Monica
"Nice to meet you" Monica said
"Nice to meet you too" Irene smiled
"Oh by the way, before I forgot, can you come over into the old mansion? We'll celebrate Solaire's graduation." I said
"Yeah, sure." She said
"Mauna na kami, nice to see you again" I said
"Oh okay, goodbye" She answered
"Let's go, love" I said to Monica and left with Solaire.

At the house
"Solaire, anak magpalit kana ng clothes mo" I said
She didn't respond. Instead, she immediately went to her room.
"I think nagtatampo siya" Monica uttered
"Bakit kaya?" I asked
"You promised her na ibibili mo siya ng necklace na gusto niya" She answered
"I bought her a necklace, pero mamaya ko pa ibibigay sakaniya." I said
"Akala niya siguro nakalimutan mo yung promise mo sakaniya" She chuckled
Solaire go downstairs na.
"Hey Solaire" I called her name
"Why po?" She asked
"Are you okay?" I asked back
She pouted. Cutie bunny.
"You forgot about the necklace" She said in a sad tone
"Are you sure?" I chuckled
"What do you mean?" She asked confusedly
"I didn't forgot about that baby. In fact, is-surprise sana kita, I bought the necklace already. Pero hindi na 'yon surprise. I don't want you to make tampo" I pouted too
"Really mama? Thank you so much! I love you mama!" She said and hugged me tightly
"You're always welcome, my cutie patootie" I said and hugged back
"Mommy, group hug tayo!" She said
Monica joined our hug. My two girls.
May celebration na magaganap mamayang hapon. So I called Mama Meldy.
In call
"Hello Mama!"
"Who's this?" She asked
"Mama naman, you forgot about me na?"
"Almira! Hija" Mama Meldy
"Bakit ka napatawag?" She asked
"Are you on the ilocos pa rin po?"
"No, dear. I'm here at Irene's house." She answered
"Kailan pa po kayo nandiyan?"
"Since Irene got married" Mama Meldy
"Why hija?" She asked
"Mama, I want to invite you po sana. My daughter has already graduated. May celebration po mamayang hapon"
"Sige hija, salamat" She said
"Okay po, bye mama"
"Bye hija" Mama Meldy
Call ended
"Sino 'yon?" My wife asked
"Irene's Mom" I answered
"Ohh.. okay" She said
Jelly ba 'to? Charot
