Samantha's Pov

"Lolo! I missed you po!" Sinalubong ako ng aking Lolo na gwapong gwapo pa rin hanggang ngayon. He's Lolo Isidro Emanuel, my dad's daddy.

"My apo! Still stunning and lovely, I missed you so so much too, my dear," he hugged me, I hugged him too. Gahd, ilang taon din mula nung huling nagkita kami ni Lolo, kapag nag-uusap kasi kami dati ay sa Skype lang.

"I'm glad that you arrived safely. How are you, my apo? And, my dearest 'apo'?" Tumingin siya sa tiyan ko. Alam niyang buntis ako, sinabi na ni Daddy sa kan'ya at tuwang tuwa pa siya non imbis na magalit sa akin.

I smiled before answering him. "I'm fine, Lo. How about you? Mukha pong hindi kayo tumatanda, ah?" He chuckled then pinch my nose.

"You didn't change, my apo. Bolera pa rin, let's go inside, I have a lot of chocolates for you!"

"Lolo naman, I'm not a kid na po para d'yan sa chocolates," nakanguso kong wika. He just laughed.

"I know, but you're still my baby even if you're now carrying a baby," he grins then guide me inside the mansion.

Natatawa nalang na napailing iling ako sa Lolo ko at sumunod sa kan'ya. Malaki ang pinagbago ng mansion, pinarenovate ito kaya mukhang bagong bago talaga, pati ang mga muwebles ay bago.

"Are you hungry, my apo? Your Lola cooked your favorite after your Mom said that you're going here," aniya habang papunta kami sa kusina.

"Talaga po? Where's Lola--"

"My beautiful grandchild! Oh my god, how I missed this gorjas!" Gulat akong napalingon sa magandang babaeng pababa sa hagdan, hindi halatang nasa 60's na siya dahil sa ganda niya. It's my Lola.

"Hi, my pretty Lola!" Naglakad ako palapit sa kaniya at niyakap siya. She's Theodora Alicia Emanuel.

"My baby! How are you? And how's my grandchild to you?" She give a soft hand on my tummy.

"We're fine, Lola. And you? Nothing's changed, you're still pretty like me," we giggled.

"Oh no, nagsama na naman ang magLola na maganda 'kuno'," Lolo said while making a salad.

"Isidro," suway sa kan'ya ni Lola at pinanlikahan pa ng mata. Natawa nalang ako sa kanila.

"Ikaw naman, Lolo. Maganda naman po talaga kami ni Lola!"

"If you say so," aniya at tumawa. "Kidding, of course you two are pretty."

"I'll show you something, Sam." Hinila ako ni Lola papunta sa taas.

"Saan po, La?"

She didn't answer. Hinila niya lang ako papunta sa isang kwarto.

"Charan! Surprise!" My eyes are now widely open when she opened the white door. This is a room, a room for a kid! The wallpaper theme are pink and blue, there's a crib, toys and everything for my baby!

"Hala, thank you po, Lola!" I hugged her once again. "Talaga pong pinaghandaan niyo pala 'to. Salamat po talaga sa inyo ni Lolo," pinunasan ko ang luhang nangingilid sa mata ko.
