It was already four when Greggy arrived at Makati, "Tangina napa umaga na naman pala." He whispered while arranging his motor.

"Oo nga eh." Patricia suddenly appeared behind him.

"Kingin-! Ate naman!" He reacted.

"Bunganga mo." Patricia said looking at him up to down.

"Aga mo naman?" Greggy ask, while continue to arranging his motor.

"May pupuntahan kasi ako, ipapabantay ko sa'yo si Beatriz." His niece.

"It's fine, kaso payag ka din bang ipunta ko siya sa Laguna?" He ask, he still need to attend a class.

"Sige basta wag mong pabayaan ah." Patricia said, Greggy nodded.

"Tulog ba?" He asked looking at her once again, "Oo, eto yan ganyan ang pattern ng meal at sleep time niya." She gave a piece of paper.

And of course Greggy nodded but it will be cheat day for Beatriz.

He entered the bedroom, a quiet snore from a three years old girl filled the room. Greggy sat down beside her, "Tama yan matulog ka lang." He whispered before opening his ipad to check the notes.

"Tangina ang bilis talaga ng alas kwatro?" He reacted when he saw the time. It's already seven but he still did not get any sleep.

"D-dada?" Beatriz was awake, she is just regaining her consciousness while watching her tito.

"Hmm? Are you awake na. Wow! Good morning little princess." Greggy reacted and hug her.

"Yes dada." She answered, "I want toast. Where's mommy?"

"Mommy? Mommy need to go somewhere." He answered, but then Beatriz frowned. "I want mommy!"

"Nako pag mag tantrums ka mag ta tantrums din ako." Greggy said.

Beatriz got all her courage before shouting, "Ahhh!"

As a tito, Greggy did the same, copying his niece. "Ahhhh!"

That made Beatriz stop and glare at him.

"Do you think it's beautiful to listen at that kind of scream?" Greggy asked.

"Then give me a toast." Beatriz sit up.

"Opo madam." Greggy carry her with his things.

He is just making a fruit toast, "Can I borrow you ipad?" Beatriz ask while sitting patiently at the high chair.

"No. It's not an ipad, it's a book." He answered, the only content of his ipad is all about his lesson.

"Okay, get my ipad then."

"Ganyan ba mang utos ang mga batang lumaki sa ibang bansa?" Greggy murmur. "I won't give it until you will finish this toast." He put the toast on the table.

"Okay!" Beatriz answered.

Irene is already awake, "May bisita ka ba kagabi?" Imelda ask.
