"Tama na nga po to ubos na po ata luha ko sa kakaiyak sa into eh" Amanda said it.

"Ikaw talaga" gunulo ni Aga ang buhok ni Amanda. " Teka nasaan na ba yung nanay mo hindi man lang naging support sa dramahan natin" Palingon lingon sabi ni Aga.

"Hahaha oo nga po nasaan na kaya yun"

"Hey, guys! Are you okay? Hmnn?" Tama tama ang pagpasok ni Lea. Iniwan nya kasi sila kanina para mgbigyan silang dalawa ng oras sa is at isa. Lea went near to Amanda ang caress Amanda's face. "Oh, umiyak ka na naman ng sobra?" She asked her and kissed Amanda's temple. She's hugging Amanda by her side.

Amanda loosen her hug to Lea she went near again to her pizza.

"Want some pizza?" Amanda asked them. Aga and Lea laugh.

"San ka ba galing lei? Aga asked her.

"Sa labas moment nyong dalawa yun tapos na kami mg moment nito." Lea put her arms around Mandi's shoulder. Aga nod and join amanda sitting on the floor.

"Pahingi nga anak. Alam mo mas masarap to kapag may ice cream." Aga take a bite Amanda's pizza. It's like parang sinusubuan sya ni Amanda.

"Oo nga po tapos yung vanilla at strawberry ice cream pa hahaha" Amanda agreed her.

"Opsss! Please Aga don't make my daughter look like you. So heavy." Lea rolled her eyes.

"Our daughter Lea. Pero gwapo naman ah. At ano naman kung mataba basta happy diba anak?" Aga elbowed Amanda. That makes Amanda to nod and smile.

"Hay, whatever better call Charlene and the twins. Papuntahin mo dito kasi were going to have a celebration." Lea say and sit down on the couch beside Amanda. Aga call his family.

"Nak, we're going to let your siblings know about you tpnigh ha?" Lea says

"Ahm, okay lang po ba sa kanila? Si Nicole po hindi po ba sya magagalita?" Amanda asked her on worrying tone.

"Hmn? No she won't. What make you think that she will get mad?"

"Kasi she used to be your only daughter. Baka ngayon ayaw nya na may Ate sya." Amanda look down.

"Don't worry. She won't get jealous and besides you're not a secret to them even the twins know about you. Kahit nung hindi ka pa namin nakilala. Kasi open naman kami sa kanila about our past relationship. Actually they're are so excited meet you nung hindi pa kami sure about sayo. Lalo na ngayon na alam nila na ikaw pala ang Ate nila hay, nako sobrang saya ng mga yun." Lea assured her.

"Pupunta na daw si Charlene dito Lei susunduin na lang nya ang kambal sa school nila." Aga says while going near to them.

"Okay sige. Ags, ikaw muna bahala kay Mandi ha I'll instruct manang lang what to cook for dinner." Pagpa.alam ni Lea.

" No, na Lei let's cook for our dinner na lang since it's our first dinner with our daughter; The official dinner na nalaman nya na tayo ang parents nya. Kaya dad will going to cook for her princess." Aga bow in front of Amanda. Amanda laugh

"Okay, ikaw kung gusto mo talaga mgluto." Lea said and crossed her arms.

"Anong ako lang, Tayo lei tayo. Magluluto ka rin kaya halika ka na." Aga grab Lea's hand but Lea didn't move. Si Amanda naman parang tango naka smile nanunuod sa parents nya.

"Pwede rin po ba ako tumulong mgluto?" Singit ni Amanda.

"Sure, anak. Oo paano na yan mahal na reyna tutulong ang prinsesa natin ayaw mo pa rin?" Aga wink and thumbs up to Amanda.

"Sige na Let's go para mkapagpahinga pa tayo before mg dinner." Aga put his hand on Lea's back to lead her .

"LeAga feels" Amanda giggle after saying that.

The three of them are in the kitchen now. Aga is busy looking for ingredients. While Amanda and Lea are watching him sitting in the counter table.

"Ahm, Miss Lea where's your husband nga pala yung daddy ni nic?" Amanda asked without minding calling Lea Miss.

Lea sigh before she answer Amanda." He's in a business trip for one month in US. Mandi you can call me Mom."

"Ay, sorry po. Ayaw nyo po ng miss? Si sige po Ma'am na lang sorry po Ma'am Lea." Actually she hear Lea clearly. Lea pronounced the word Mom perfectly but she intended to call her Ma'am kasi naiilang pa siya tawagin Mommy si Lea. Even Aga she's avoiding him to call his name. You can visibly see Lea's disappointment upon hearing Amanda call her Ma'am instead of Mom.

"Mandi, what do you want for dinner? Your mom have chicken, pork tenderloin, beef for steak what else ha oh, Lei you have ingredients for lasagna pala." Aga said and face them.

"Anything po but I don't eat beef dishes po yung masyado obvious na may beef pero if ground beef okay lang. Hehehe" Amanda said shyly.

"Para kang si Atasha. Sige let's make lasagna for tonight and grilled tenderloin. What do you think?" Amanda thumbs up saying for approval.

"How about you lei do you want anything?" Aga asked her . he noticed that may malalim na iniisp si Lea.

Lea shook her head." No, that's good. Okay na yan." She said and give him a half smile.

"May I help you po? I want to know how to make lasagna eh" Amanda went near to Aga. Lea just watching them. She's thinking about why Amanda can't call her mom. Is she doesn't want her to be her mom. Or maybe she's just shy to call her. Baka naninibago lang lei ikaw naman. Her mind say.

But she's happy right now looking at her daughter is happy  with them. Lalo na kay Aga mas marami sila kaparehong gusto. Kailan ko kaya maririnig na tawagin nya ako mommy.

"Sir Aga, eto na po oh okay na po ba to" I heard Amanda calling her dad sir. That makes Aga to stop what he's doing.

"Mandi I'm your dad. Stop calling me sir. Hindi ko pa nga naririnig na tinatawag mo ako ng dad pati Mommy mo hindi mo pa tinatawag na Mommy." Tampo tampuhang sabi ni Aga.

"Sorry po" Amanda said and pouted her lips.

"Ags, it's okay na.iilang pa yan let's wait na lang na maging comfortable na si Mandi ko." She butt in and pinch Amanda's chin.

They enjoy cooking. Aga let them taste and ask some comments about the taste of his recipe. They're like complete family who's having a great time.
