CHAPTER 107

Imee's POV
I woke up coz someone loudly knocking the door. Jezzzz! This is what I hate everytime umuuwi ako dito sa bahay eh. May istorbo at nanggigising na naman. Before getting up, I grab my phone and check what time is it. To be honest, it made me rolled my eyes and straightly open the door.

Imee: Wha-- (didn't continue her words coz it's her niece, Bella)

Isabella: Good morning, my Tita Pretty.

As Bella tell those words, I kneel down para mapantayan ko siya. I admit, biglang nawala ang inis ko coz she immediately kiss and hug me.

Isabella: How's your sleep, Tita?

Imee: Ayos naman, baby. What about you? You sleep well naman po ba?

Isabella: Yes po even though Mommy and Daddy were noisy last night (frown)

That made me smile and pinch her nose. Such a cutest eh. After a second, I stood up, held her hand and told her to sit on the couch muna while ako naman, aayusin ko muna ang kama ko.

Isabella: Ivy?

When she called me using my first name, I put down the pillow and turn back to face her. Oh god! Umagang-umaga naman utang na loob, wag mo akong inisin na bata ka kung ayaw mong makatulog ulit ng gantong oras.

Imee: What is it, Ma'am Isabella? (look at Bella seriosly and raised her left brow)

Isabella: Ahm, I don't like my dress, Tita (sigh and lean her back on the couch)

Imee: Dress?! What dress? (Confuse)

Isabella: The dress that I'll be wearing on your kasal po.

I secretly shook my head and head to the bathroom dahil kung hindi, baka mawalan pa agad ako ng pasensiya. As I face the mirror, I grab my hair tie and tie my hair up. My goshieee! Kung kelan naman papalapit na ang kasal, tsaka naman lumabas ang isang sumpa sa mukha ko. Hayst! I need to get rid of this.

I just finish brushing my teeth and by the time I was about to get my facial soap, agad namang nagsalita si Bella which made startle.

Isabella: Move quickly, Titaaaaaa.

Imee: Bella?

Isabella: Hmm? (Smiling)

Imee: Please wait tita downstairs nalang, baby. I'll just do my morning routine, okay?

Isabella: Yan na namaaaaaan! (Cross her arms and frown) I will take forever waiting again and again and again! Gutom na ako, tita (teary eye)

Imee: No, baby (chuckled) I'll be quick po. Promise! (Then raised her right hand)

Isabella: Pinky swear? (show her pinky finger)

Imee: Pinky swear (then smile)

I locked off my pinky to hers and that made her giggled. Before she left, niyakap niya muna ako ng napakahigpit. Jusko! Muntik na akong hindi makahinga eh. But seriously, I miss her so much also. Well, she's always been like that everytime umuuwi ako dito. Gusto niya palagi kaming magkasabay kumain, marmeryenda at kung ano ano pa.

It took me 20 minutes to do my morning routine. I just had half bath dahil kung maliligo pa ako, baka madatnan kong nakabusangot na naman ang boss namin. Hayst! As I went downstairs, I immediately head to the garden dahil doon daw sila naghanda ng breakfast. When I saw all of them especially Mom, I took a deep breath and smile widely.
