I'm Now Mrs. Padilla?! [COMPLETED]

-45-

Kathy's POV

"Babe, anong tingin mo kay Jill?" Di ko mapigilang itanong kay Daniel.

Pareho na kaming nasa loob ng sasakyan and he's currently driving. Ay sus! Kung alam niyo lang sana ang nangyari sa loob ng mall kanina. Pano ba naman kasi, nahulog yung fake mustache ni Daniel. May nakakita, kaya dinumog kaming dalawa.

Grabe yung takbo ko eh, parang hinahabol lang kami ng aso dalawa.

"Jill? Uhm... She's pretty inside and out. Isa siya sa mga hinahangaan ko sa industriya. She visits different orphanage every weekends. It's amazing how she can manage her schedule without getting late or without being scolded by the director." Mahabang sabi niya.

Wow! Bumait si Jill ah. Dapat magpasalamat siya kay Lola, kasi kung hindi dahil dun sa magic, hindi siya babait. Hahahaha! Kidding.

"Ah. I just wanna know your opinion about Jill." I smiled.

Pumanhik ako sa taas. Sinalubong ako ni Elle ng isang mainit na yakap. "Hi baby. You missed me?" Tanong ko.

Kahit anong pagod ko, isang yakap lang ni Elle, nawawala agad. Seriously, she's my stress reliever.

She nodded. "Opo mommy! Where's daddy?" Kinarga ko siya.

"Nandun pa sa baba. He's unpacking the grocery bags."

She gave me a queasy look. "Di ba dapat po, ikaw yung nag-u-unpack ng grocery bags? Ba't si daddy?"

Maybe what she meant is, bakit si Daniel yung gumagawa nun, eh ako naman yung babae. Hahaha! Inappropriate naman kung sabihin kong 'Under kasi yung daddy mo, baby.'

"Because your daddy's too responsible." I laughed.

Binigay ko muna si Elle kay Dorothy at bumaba. Nagulat ako ng makita ko si Daddy.

Pinigilan ko ang luha ko. Para kasi akong iiyak sa tuwa at saya. Finally, I saw my Dad after 13 years. Labing-tatlong taon na nangulila ako sa kanya.

"Daddy!" I hugged him tight like it was the first time I saw him.

Matagal ko siyang niyakap, sobrang na-miss ko siya. Noon kasi kinaiinggitan ko si Jon at Ella kasi kompleto yung pamilya nila everytime na may family day. Tapos ako, si Mommy at Shawn lang.

"O-oh. Na-miss mo talaga ako, 'nak no?" Tumawa si silang dalawa ni Mommy.

Di ko na napagilan at naiyak ako. Ang saya saya ko lang kasi. Dahil kay lola nakumpleto na yung pamilya ko. Wala ng ibang pamilya si Daddy tapos ayos na yung pagsasama nila ni Mommy.

I'm really greatful this happened. Everything is just so perfect and complete. It's like you won't need anything to make you happy because everything you want and you need is served in front of you.

Bumitaw ako sa yakap ni Dad. "I just missed you." Sabi ko at sunod na niyakap si Mommy. She kissed my cheek.

"Asus. Nagdrama pa." Ani Mommy at hinawakan ang balikat ko. "Namiss ka din namin, 'nak."

Pinahidan ko ang luha ko. Can I just take a moment to award myself for being such an idiot these past few days? My friends and family especially my husband thinks I'm actually crazy.

I can't just tell them about me, waking up magically. They most certainly would think I'm out of my mind. I think they'll send me to a rehabilitation center for crazy people.

"Nasan ang pinakamamahal kong apo?" Tanong ni Daddy.

"Upo po muna kayo. Tatawagin ko lang po."

Binuksan ko ang pinto ng kwarto ni Elle. Naglalaro siya ng manika kasama si Dorothy na nagte-text sa boyfriend niya. "Baby? Nandun si Lolo at Mamita sa baba. They're looking for you."

Nanlaki ang mata niya, "Really?!" Binitiwan niya ang hawak niyang Barbie at tumakbo pababa.

"Elle! Wag kang tumakbo!" Sigaw ni Manang Dor. Mabilis niya tinapon ang cellphone niya sa kama at sinundan si Elle.

"Baby! Be careful! Don't be too excited!" Sigaw ko at hinabol siya. Baka madapa o mag-slide sa hagdan, tapos may mangyaring masama sa kanya.

Maybe she's too excited when hears her grandparents came to visit. How should I know? I don't even remember anything that happened for the past year.

"Lolo! Lolo! Mamitaaaaa!" She exclaimed and jumped on them. Tumawa si Mommy at Daddy sa inasal ni Elle. Niyakap nila ito at pinaulanan ng halik. Aww.

Nakangiti akong pumasok sa kusina. Umupo ako sa counter. Nagluluto kasi si Daniel. "Wow, ang bango." Sabi ko.

He continued stirring what he's cooking. "I heard Mommy and Daddy Teddy's voice. Are they here?" He asked.
