Second Monthsary

Glaiza's POV:

Second monthsary na namin ni Rhian, the past month had been awesome. We meet each other every weekend, she would either come dito sa bahay o di kaya ako ang pupunta sa bahay nila. Alam na nila Nanay at Tatay na girlfriend ko si Rhian. They accepted that I am with her and that I spend most of my weekend with Rhian. Giliw na giliw si Nanay kay Rhian. Paano kasi, very accomodating si Rhian kay Nanay, tinuruan din ito ni Rhian kung paano alagaan ang kanyang mga halaman na malapit nang mamatay. Rhian had saved our garden from dying. Nanay was the one who buys plants at itinatanim ito sa garden, she buys mostly because she thinks it would be beautiful in the garden. Rhian also makes time for Nanay and go on shopping trips. Nanay and Rhian are inseperable, in fact Nanay considers Rhian as her own child.

Noon pa man, close ako talaga kay Tatay. Kami ang laging magka-bonding ni Tatay. Medyo authoritarian kasi si Nanay noong araw, pero ngayon dahil na din sa girlfriend kong si Rhian, Nanay is open to changes now compared before. She has done so much for the family at para na din sa akin, kung kaya kahit na First year high school lang ang natapos ni Nanay, naka-pasok ito sa trabaho kela Don Allegre at napagsikapan nyang paaralin ako at bigyan ng magandang buhay. Don Martin Allegre was friends with Nanay, he grew up seeing Nanay around their house. Si Don Martin ang nangumbinse sa kanyang Papa na si Don Alfonso Allegre na paaralin ang anak ng kanilang mga empleyado, para magamit ang kanilang kaalaman ng ilang taon para pagbayaran ang libreng paaral nila.

That was why I finished school in flying colors because Don Allegre inspired me to build up my own fortune. Minsan, kinukunsulta pa din ako ni Don Martin Allegre sa ibang mga proyekto nila. Na parang ako pa din ang lead architect nila sa landscaping business nila. Lahat ng naging empleyado ng pamilyang Allegre kung hindi may sarili nang business ay nagtatrabaho pa din para sa mga Allegre. Katulad na lang nina Batchi, Hannah at Abby. We help him out as much as we can, dahil naalala namin ang mga taong halos hindi na kami makakain, pero nang dahil sa tulong ng mga Allegre natugunan ang aming mga pangangailangan. Hanggang sa mamatay na ang kanyang Ama at siya na ang umupo bilang CEO ng Allegre Industries, his employees were well taken cared of di bale nang malugi siya sa mga tauhan nya basta tutulong siya sa mga tao nya. Truly an exceptional leader.

We will have a barbecue today, dito sa bahay. Tatay was the one who thought of doing this, dahil daw pagod si Rhian sa kanyang cafe. Sweet talaga si Tatay at maalalahanin lalo na kay Rhian. He wanted to man the whole grilling station so I let him be. Darating sina Rhian, Batchi, Abby, Marinel at Hannah. To partake in our mini barbecue. May mahalagang desisyon din ako na gagawin today kaya naman inimbitahan ko na din ang mga kapatid ko na sila Abby, Batchi at Hannah.

Naka-handa na ang backyard, may mga palamuti akong isinabit, kagaya na lang ng letter cut outs n nagsasabing 'Happy Monthsary Lab!' at iba pang mga palamuti gaya ng mga puso. The backyard looks nice thanks to Rhian's skills in re-arranging the plants in the back garden that we have. She worked with Nanay the past month to re-arrange our garden. Naging maayos ang lahat mula nang si Rhian ang nag-ayos ng among garden. Her visuals were impeccable, she just needed me and my men to build stuff for our garden.

I looked at our backyard and felt satisfied with the arrangement of things, tapos tumunog na ang doorbell namin, I went to the gate myself and opened it. Andito na si Rhian, pinagbuksan ko siya ng malaking gate para maiparada nya ang kanyang kotse sa loob ng aming bahay, the house that I bought had a garage for 4 vehicles, kaya kasya pa ang kotse nila Rhian, Batchi at Hannah. I kissed her on her lips quickly before I opened the gate for her to get in. She smiled at me and said.

"Thank you love, namiss ko na kayo ni Nanay at Tatay." She said sweetly.

"We miss you too lab." I said to her.
