Chapter 7: Family dinner
Lie's POV
"Blanche mag ayos ka na sabi ng mommy mo." Nanny Lorie said.
Nag ok ako at nagsimula nang mag ayos. I wear a blue dress then I braid my hair. Nag make up lang ako ng light then I'm done. Hehehe sorry naman,may dadating daw kasing bisita kaya todo ayos ako.
Bumaba na ako at pumuntang dining room. Kung ang nasa isip niyo ay sa isang mamahaling restaurant kami magdidinner ay nagkakamali kayo.Dito kasi sa bahay gusto ni Mère.
"Hi Mom,Dad and mga kuya." bati ko sakanila at hinalikan sila sa pisngi.
I sat down beside Kuya Loïc.
"How's your school petite fille,hmm?" Dad asked.
"It's fine Dad."I answered with a smile.
" May umaaway ba sayo dun Mon bébé?"Kuya Louis.
Biglang nagtinginan sila Mom, Dad at Kuya Loïc sakin dahil sa tanong ni Kuya Louis.
Napaiwas ako ng tingin.
"W...wala naman K...kuya L...louis hehehe." nauutal kong sambit.
"You sure?"Kuya Loïc asked.
I nod.
May balak pang salita si Dad ay may bigla na lang dumating na hindi ko inaasahang bisita.
My eyes widened in surprise nang makilala ko kung sino yung bagong dating.
"GRANDPÈRE!!" I run to him then give him a big hug.
"Bonjour Mon Amour. Comment allez-vous?" he asked.
"Très bien,Grandpère." I answered.
"That's good." After he said that,he sat in front of my father. We started to eat and silence rule the atmosphere.
Mom break the silence."Hi Dad. How's your health going?" Mom.
My Dad is so quiet. Di sila masyadong in good term ni Lolo. Alam niyo kung bakit? 'Coz nagrebelde si Dad noon dahil hindi boto si Lolo na father ni Dad kay Mommy.
Pero as you can see, ay okay na si Mommy at si Lolo,pero sila ni Dad? Nah,hindi pa rin sila ayos kahit ilang taon na ang lumipas.
"I'm still healthy Mariz. As you can see, I can still carry Mon Amour."he said and laugh.
I pouted at mas lalong natawa si Lolo na sinabayan pa nila Kuya. Tumingin si Lolo kay Dad.
"Son,how's the company?" Lolo asked.
"Still the same Dad."cold na saad ni Dad na hindi man lang tinapunan ng tingin si Lolo.
Grandpère just nod and continue eating.Pagkatapos namin kumain ay nagkamustahan lang kami.
Kaya pala dumating si Lolo ay ininvite pala siya ni Mommy.
Frédéric Antoine Lyon is my grandpa and my Dad's father. He's the one who build the Lyon Enterprises. He's a cold person but when it comes to his love ones he's kind and sweet like my dad.
"Amaury come with me." he stand up. Dad followed him.
"Ano kayang gagawin nila?" tanong ko. They just shrug kaya nanahimik na lang ako.
" Nanny Lorie pakuha po ako ng ice cream please?" Sabi ko.
"Kakakain mo pa lang ah. Di ka pa busog?" Kuya Louis asked. Napanguso ako.
"Let her Louis."Mom. I stuck my tongue to him kaya napasimangot siya at sinabihan akong matakaw.
"Mommy oh! Si Kuya Louis sinabihan akong matakaw." sumbong ko.
"Louis."mom said with a warning tone.
Kuya Louis raised his hand as if he's surrendering. Nag aasaran lang kami ni Kuya Louis at taga awat naman si Mommy at Kuya Loïc kapag nagkakapikunan kami.
After an hour ay bumalik na sila Daddy at mukhang nagkaayos na sila. Nagtanong ako kung ayos na ba silang dalawa,tumango naman sila ng sabay kaya napatalon kami ni Kuya Louis sa tuwa dahil after many years ay ayos na sila. Nagsmile lang si Mommy at Kuya Loïc.
Nagpakuha ulit ako ng ice cream,dahil ubos na ang ang ice cream ko, at cake para sa icelebrate ang pag aayos nila Daddy. Inaasar na naman ako ni Kuya Louis na gusto ko lang makakain ulit at nag alibi pa daw ako kaya nagtawanan sila at samantalang ako ay napanguso.
