I gathered my sons in our bedroom since my husband is on work, "Tulungan niyo si mommy." I whispered and opened an old box.
"What's that?" They asked.
"It's a picture of me and daddy." I answered.
We look at Georgia who is just looking at us.
"It's my present for your daddy, help me po. Can you?" I look at them again.
"Yes!" They confidently said.
I started to unpack the develop picture.
"Wow!" They both reacted.
"That's beautiful!" They even added.
"Yes, it's a wedding pictures. Just paste it here at the photo album." I said, and do some examples.
"Yes mommy!" They happily responded.
"Yuck! They're kissing." Luis grinned.
"Hahaha! Bata nga naman." I reacted, nahiya tuloy ako.
"Why are you doing this mommy?" Luis asked.
"Because..." Bakit nga ba? Hahahaha!
"Because?" They asked in chorus.
I look at the pictures, "So that we can still look at it with adoration even how many years will pass..."
"... Or maybe when we're apart."
"Why mommy? Why you always need to be away from each other?" Alfonso asked.
"To think about something, remember boys. You need a space if you're thinking."
Actually di ko rin alam eh hahaha! Ang alam ko lang, gusto kong lumayo minsan para ma-miss ko siya at maibalik pag mamahal ko.
We got back to the work, attaching the pictures on the album.
"Who's this baby?" Alfonso showed a picture of a baby.
"You, our kuya." I answered.
"Hahaha! You look chubby kuya!" Luis chuckle looking at the photo.
"Yes, am I cute? Definitely no." Alfie grinned.
"Yes, you look cute kuya." I answered.
"No, kuya is handsome." Luis suddenly said that choke me up.
"Hahaha! Luis is handsome too." I said.
"Yes, that's true handsome." Alfonso smile at his brother.
I shake my head, "Tapusin na natin baka dumating si daddy."
"Mommy, is that a sticker?" Luis asked asking what's I'm holding.
"Yes, is it why?" I answered but asking back.
"Can I borrow?" Alfie look at the stickers.
Binigay ko yung ibang pages ng stickers sa kanya, "Wag mo lang ikalat ha." Pagpapaalala ko.
"No I won't." He started to pull one of the star sticker, maliit lang naman.
I watch what will he gonna do, he suddenly put the sticker on his brother cheeks. I tried not to laugh and to concentrate on my gift.
I was just peacefully putting the stickers so the album have a design, Luis did not react on what his kuya did.
Later, they both crack up a laugh, so I look at them. "Shocks." I suddenly reacted.
"Mommy! Hahaha!" Luis laugh and come to me.
"No wag ayoko." I denied as soon as I saw it.
But it was too late, Alfonso put a sticker on my cheeks.
