Chapter 9
Navarro
Saturday Morning the twins and I went to my parent's house since the kids are asking to see their grandparents. George is still busy at work but still tried her best to update me, she did spend the night in our house 2 nights ago, and even though she's been tired she still manages to play with the kids and spend time with us.
When we got there sinalubong kami ni Mom, the kids bless their Granny and kissed her on the cheek.
"Si Dad Mom?" I asked her
"Nasa study room niya anak, tara pasok tayo at excited na akong maki pag laro sa mga apo ko" we enter the house, and the memories of my childhood went back to me. I was the only child so mostly mga maids ang kalaro ko at kung di naman busy si Daddy at Mommy nakikipag laru sila sakin.
"Arturo andito na ang anak mo at mga apo mo" My mom shouted from downstairs. My dad went out of his study room and greeted us
"Did you eat yet?" My dad Arturo asked
"Yes Lolo." Lily said
"Lolo can we swim to your pool?" Eli asked
"Of course apo" the kids excitedly ran toward the backyard, we went all outside to enjoy the pool.
"Malapit na ang birthday nang kambal ah, do you have plans yet?" Mom asked the twins are swimming with their lolo
"Yea, there having a jungle team party, we decided to hold it in Avari" Napatango sya and drink the juice the maid prepare.
"So anak how're the kids holding on after knowing about Jaxon?" she asked
"So far di naman sila nag tatanong kung asan si Jaxon, but I'm planning on telling them soon"
"So are you dating anyone?" she asked
"Who's dating," my dad asked, still wet and drying his hair with a towel. he sat in front of me and beside Mom. I clear my throat and look at the twins before answering
"I am" I answered honestly
"So who's the guy?" My dad asked I'm nervous I know that I will tell them eventually but is this the right time?
"Uhm I don't know how to say this but-" I drank the water in front of me "I'm dating a woman," I said with a low voice not caring whether they hear me or not. I look up and see their reaction, both of them look at each other, my heart is pounding. I look down and played with my fingers, they did not say anything for awhile
"So what's her name?" My dad asked, I look up and see the smile on their faces
"You're not disappointing?" I asked confusedly
"Why would we be?" My mom said "You're our only daughter and if that would make you happy then we support you" I cried
"Make sure that we will meet her soon anak" My dad said, I hugged them both and nodded. "Mommy, why are you crying?" Eliot asked, I wiped my face and face them
"Mommy's just happy," I said to them
That afternoon went well, I told them everything. I'm so lucky to have such great parents.
**********
It's the twin's birthday today and we're about to go to the venue we're just waiting for George, she'll be driving us. I texted her but she did not reply maybe she's driving. After a while I heard the doorbell rang, I opened it and saw the most beautiful human being my eyes landed in, she was wearing a Tiger costume. Since the theme was jungle we decided to dress up as animals, I wore a Lioness while the twin dressed as my cubs. I smiled at her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Ready?" she asked, I nodded.
"Aunt George!" Lily shouted then ran toward George.
"Happy Birthday Kiddo, where's your brother?" she asked.
"I'm here Auntie," Eli said while raising his hand
"Happy birthday Eli, you ready for your party?" Eli nodded at her question
"Aunt George where's our gift?" Lily asked excitedly
"It's in the car but you can't open it, we need to go to the venue first" Lily squeak excitedly and ran toward the car sinudan naman namin ito.
I open the back seat and saw that there's already car seat installed
I smiled at her, she does care about the twins. after the twins were buckled up we both come in the car and George drove us in Avari.
Sinalubong kami ng organizer at inupdate na ready na ang lahat at may mga bisita ng dumating. we enter the hall and first saw Alexis in a yellow flower costume, the kids ran towards her
"Ninang why aren't you wearing an animal costume?" Eli asked
"I'm promoting my business Eli hahaha" she joked, she both greeted the kids and kiss both of them in the cheek and turn to us, gave me and George a hug.
"Go play with your friends muna kids the party will start any minute now," I said to them which they obliged and ran towards the children's table where they're friends are
We were talking about stuff when I saw my parents enter the hall, I excuse myself to Alexis and George and approach them, gave both of them a kiss on the cheek.
"Is she here?" My dad asked me excitedly, tumango ako bilang sagot
"So aren't you going to introduce us?" My mom asked, sakto naman na lumapit si Alexis and George samin
"Hi Tita Mil, Toto Art" pag bati ni Alexis na sabay mano sa dalawa
"Hi Lexie, how was your business?" My dad asked
"It's good tito, I'm planning on building my second shop, malapit sa subdivision nila Rose" Alexis answered
"That's great Hija" my mom said
I was about to introduce George to them when the Mc announce that the party will start and request everyone to sit. The program went well the kids enjoy the games and the magician that we hired, especially the petting zoo.
After the party ends my parents decide to come home with us so that they can hang out with the twins. George still drove us home and stay for a moment.
"Thank you George," I said to her when we have finally been alone together in the kitchen, the kids and my parents are in the living room and opening the presents. I was about to kiss her when my parents come
"So Hija I don't think Rose introduces us properly," My Mom said while sitting in the high stool behind the bar counter. napa tikhim si George, she looked nervous. I chuckle
"Mom Dad this is George," I said
"So what do you for a leaving George," My dad said a little serious, not that he doesn't know. I was shocked about his tone, my dad was always soft and playful to others, I thought that he accepted us, am I wrong
