"Good Morning Daddy!" Eli greeted her father
Naglakad palapit si Greggy kay Eli na nasa sala ngayon nanonood ng tv
"Good Morning El, your early today anak. Do you have any errands with your mom?" He asked
"Nothing Dad, I just woke up early. I helped Doc to cook our breakfast"
"Where's your mom then?" Tanong ni Greggy sabay lingon sa paligid.
"Maagang umalis dad, kumain lang kami ng sabay after cooking breakfast and then nagpaalam na. May kailangan atang gawin, but she will go here before dinner to fetch me para pumunta sa San Juan" sagot ni Eli.
Napatango nalang si Greggy sa anak. Something is bothering him at alam niya kung ano iyon. Hindi naging maganda ang usapan nila ni Irene kaninang madaling araw pagkarating nila ng bahay.
We kissed, I responded to her kisses and hurt her after that.
"May nabanggit ba ang mommy mo sayo anak?" He asked. Napakunot noo si Eli before shrugging her head.
"Why? May dapat ba siyang sabihin dad?"
"Wala naman, I mean is she okay? You told me na she needs to do something. Is she okay?"
Parang naguguluhan si Eli sa sinasabi ni Greggy pero sinagot niya nalang ito.
"She looks okay naman kanina when I woke her up to prepare breakfast. She just needs to go home right away because of something. I didn't bother to ask her kasi I know na its important" tumango si Greggy.
"Why did you ask ba dad? Why are you so concerned?"
"Ofcourse she's your mom El and besides may lakad kayo mabuti na yung siguradong masusundo ka niya mamaya" palusot ni Greggy, mukhang naniwala naman si Eli
"She needs to fetch me later dad, malalagot daw siya sa mommy at manang niya pag hindi ako kasama"
"Wow, I hope they will not spoil you there. Ngayon palang mukhang masspoil ka na"
Natawa nalang si Eli. Nagpaalam muna si Greggy na pupunta sa Dining para kumain dahil maaga rin itong aalis para magtrabaho.
I wonder kung umalis ba siya ng maaga para hindi ako makita.
Galit ba siya?
Masakit yung mga nasabi ni Greggy kay Irene, pero alam niya na tama yung ginawa niya. He just said that para hindi na umasa si Irene, para hindi na sila ulit magkasakita. Okay na kasi kay Greggy yung maayos sila dahil kay Eli.
Irene caused him so much pain to the point na he already has a trust issue with her.
Ayaw niya ng maulit yung kagaya ng dati na parang guguho ang mundo niya dahil sa sakit na dulot ni Irene.
He may be give her a chance to prove herself to them but he still hasn't forgotten what irene did to him.
He just did it for his daughter, for Eli. Kung ano man yung mga bagay na nilunok niya, yung pride yung galit lahat ng iyon ay dahil gusto niyang pagbigyan ang kagustuhan ng anak na makilala ang nanay niya at hindi dahil sa gusto niyang magkabalikan sila.
Kaya para matuldukan na ang pag-asa na nararamdaman ni Irene, he said that to her kahit na alam niyang masasaktan si Irene.

"Eli anak are you ready?" Irene asked after Eli answers her call.
"Yes po, Nanay rose helped me a while ago" sagot ni Eli.
"Good, Im on my way there anak. Andyan ba si Greggy?"
"Wala po, late na po yun uuwi"
"Okay, just messaged him later na sinundo na kita okay?"
