Chapter 20

                                    

                                          
I woke up because i smell something that made me hungry.
"What's that smell?" I said as i go out of the room. 
"It's your favorite pinakbet pizza" Ate Imee said as i entered the kitchen. 
"Oh wow" I said.
"Good morning, mommy!" Alfonso said and hugged me. 
"Good morning, Baby" I smiled and kissed the top of his head.
"Good morning, Ading" Ate Imee said and hugged. 
"Good morning too, nasaan yung dalawa?" 
"Si Catali nasa Cr, si Bonget natutulog pa ata" 
"Wag ka nang mahiya kumuha ka na alam kong namiss mo yan" Ate Imee said. I keep glancing on the Pizza kasi. Hindi pa sana ko kukuha dahil hinihintay kong may unang kumuha. 
I laughed and get one slice of pizza. 
"Mommy, when we will go to the Philippines i'm excited to meet my lolo and lola" Alfonso said. He looked at me waiting for my words.
"I still don't know, i'm still thinking about it" I said and tapped the top of his head.
"Did you brush your teeth?" I asked. 
"Of course, mommy" 
"Ate, Diego and Cali broke up na pala?" 
"Yeah, she cried a lot nga eh. Hindi na madaldal, lagi na lang tahimik" 
Catali entered the kitchen and immediately get one slice of pizza. 
"Hmm, my fave" She said before she bite it. 
"Good moring, Alfy" She said and hugged Alfonso. 
"Good morning too, ninang" 
"Good morning, my love, 'te imee" She said. Ate imee and i nodded. 
"Ganyan kayo makatingin" Catali asked. 
"Wala lang" I said and laughed.
"Tulog pa'rin si Bonget ah, hindi naman puyat yun eh" I said and bite another slice of pizza.
"Speaking of Bonget, alam mo bang muntik ng patayin ni Bonget si greggy dati nung nalaman niya yung nangyare, nito na nga lang nag-usap yung dalawang yun nung nagpatulong lang si Bonget mangligaw sa pinsan ni Greggy" Catali rapidly said. 
"Ay oo, nagkasundo pa yung dalawang yan na wag na pag-usapan ang nangyare sainyo kaya nga hanggang ngayon wala akong chismis kung anong nangyare sakanya at ganon ang nangyare" Ate Imee said. Cali saw that i glared at ate imee so Catali poked ate imee.
"What?" Ate imee said and looked at Cali. She pointed me while using her lips. Ate imee slowly looked at me. 
"Joke lang yun" Ate imee said and put pizza on Alfonso's plate.
"Who's greggy, tita?" Alfy asked. 
"Ang magaling mong ama, i mean your daddy" Catali said. 
Someone entered the kitchen. "Good morning, Alfonso Cavite" Kuya bonget pointing Alfy.
"Kailan pa naging lugar si Alfy" Pilosopong tanong ni ate imee. 
"Ngayon lang" Sagot naman ni Catali. 
"Mababaliw talaga ako sainyo" Sabi ko at napahilamos naman gamit ang aking kamay.

ATE IMEE'S POV
I saw Irene at the balcony, mukang malalim ang iniisip. I walked towards her. Ni hindi namalayan na umupo ako sa tabi niya. 
I hugged her tightly because i know she need it.
"Kilala mo ba yung fianceè ni Greggy?" She asked.
"Nope"
"Masaya kaya siya ngayon? Is he happy with his fiance?" I just listen to her. 
"Nasan kaya kami ngayon kung nag-stay ako? Kung sinabi niya na wag akong umalis masaya kaya kami ngayon?" She asked. 
She looked at me and wiped her tears. She smiled. 
"I'm being dramatic, again" she said and laughed.
"No, it's okay" 
"Si Alfonso?" She asked 
"Nanonood ng tv kasama yung dalawa" 
"Sumama ka na kaya pauwi sa Pilipinas?" I asked her.
"Sasama na naman talaga kami" She said and smirked. 
"Really?" I asked.
"Ahuh" She said and nodded. I stood up and hugged her. 
"Mommy!" I heard Alfonso shouted as he cry
Irene stood up and hurriedly went inside. 
"What happened?" She worriedly said as she saw her son crying. Alfonso just cry and didn't utter any word. 
"What's wrong?" Irene asked. When irene saw Bonget laughing infront of Alfonso She glared and immediately hit bonget using her slippers. 
"What did you do?" Inis na tanong ni Irene. I smiled as i watch irene being a mother. Such a wonderful woman. 
"I didn't do anything" pagmaang-maangan pa ni bonget. 
"Don't cry na baby" Irene comforted her son. She hugged him and kissed the top of alfonso's head. 
"Ano nga kasing ginawa mo?" Tanong ko kay Bonget. 
"Cute kasi, nasaktan ata nung pinisil ko yung pisngi" Bonget said while holding his neck.
"Our ading is matured already, parang kailan lang iniiyakan niya pa yung maliliit na bagay" Bonget said while looking at Irene. 
"She's a great mother" I said. 
"She is" Bonget uttered. 
"She raised a child alone and she did a great job, i also notice that she is very responsible when it comes to her son" Bonget said.
"Sinabi mo pa. she's strong, right?" I said with a teary eyes. 
"Pinagchi-chismisan niyo nanaman ako" Irene said as she looked at us.
I smiled "Come here" i said and she walked towards us. We hugged her and Alfy came to join us. 
"Proud kami sayo" Bonget whispered. Irene smiled as her tears fell. 
"I've never heard that before" She said. 
"We never said it but we're always proud of you" I said and she pouted.
"Sige, ganyan kayo" Catali said as she saw us hugging. Galing kasi siya ng kusina kumuha ata ng popcorn.
"Join us" Irene said and opened her arms for her. 
"Very comforting" Catali said as she hugged us.
