Officially Yours ( Book 2 )

Chapter 45

Jema.

Ano daw?  Isasama ako ni Deanna sa US para makilala ko na ang mga future in-laws ko?  Di ba yan ang matagal mo nang pinapangarap?

Gisingin nyo ako, pleaseeeeee.

"What do you mean, baby?" I asked because I'm not sure if I heard her right.

"I said, do you want to go with me?  So my parents can finally meet you." she replied.

Okay, totoo nga na niyayaya nya ako pumunta ng US.  Shock naman ang beauty ko.  Grabe naman itong si Deanna kung mag desisyon. Teka, ako lang ba or kasama si Chelsea?

"Baby, nabigla naman ako sa sinabi mo.  Of course gusto kong sumama sayo para may kasama ka doon at yun nga, para makilala ko na rin ang family mo. Pero gaano tayo katagal doon?  You know naman na parehas tayong may trabaho dito.  And also, how about Chelsea?" sabi ko.

Napangiti naman sya pagkarinig sa sinabi ko.

"Napag isipan ko na yan, Love.  We can take Chelsea with us if you want.  A month, 2 months?  What do you think?" sagot nya.

"Wooo, 2 months?  Antagal nun baka wala na akong kumpanya pagbalik haha." I said.

"Love, nandyan naman yung three angels mo.  You can assign one of them as an OIC while you're out of the country.  Sige na, Love. I would appreciate it kung kasama ko kayo ni Chelsea pagbalik ko doon." she said while pouting.

Ay, same na talaga silang mag-Dada.  Yung mannerisms nila, parehong pareho.  Dinadaan sa ganyan para umoo ako.

"Eh yung schooling ni Chelsea, pano yun kung matagal tayong mawala?" tanong ko uli.

"My gad, Jema. She's only in nursery, parang college naman na kung makapag alala ka sa schooling nya.  Saka friend mo naman si Teacher Veni nya, malakas ka dun, gawan mo ng paraan." sagot nya.

Aba, at isinama pa si Teacher Vanie sa usapan.

Grabe ka naman kasi kung maka react.

"Okay, but 2 months is too long, baby.  Pwede 1 month na lang?  I think that's enough time for you to do whatever you need to do there.  That is ample time na rin for me and Chelsea to know your family better and vice versa." I suggested.

"So, you mean you're both coming with me?" she asked.

I nodded my head and kissed her sa cheek quick.

"Yessssss!!  I'm so glad na pumayag ka, thank you.  I love you, Jema." she said while holding my hand.

"Yes, but only for a month." I said.

"Why don't we make it two months then if you really want to go home after a month, we can reschedule your tickets naman.  Deal?" she asked.

"Deal!!" excited na sagot ko.

Ayan sige, deal pa more.

We just stayed there looking at each other, tahimik lang kami.  Yung tipong nag iisip ng seryoso. 

Kasi naman, meet the parents na nga.  To the next level na talaga kami ni Deanna.

"Love, what are you thinking?" pambasag nya sa katahimikan.

"Aahh, baby, ano sa tingin mo ang magiging reaction ng family mo?  Do they know na ba about us, about the proposal and about Chelsea?" tanong ko sa kanya.

She took her time before answering.

"Love, don't worry about it.  I'm sure they will like you and Chelsea.  Ako ang bahala sa inyo.  Lagi mo lang tatandaan na mahal na mahal ko kayo." malalim na sabi nya.
