"Sir, nandito na po si Ma'am Bliss." ani ni Yaya Joy.
Serenity looked so happy upon hearing the name of Bliss's name. She ran to see her Mom.
"Baby, careful. You might fall." Night said while following his daughter.
"Mommy is here dad." Serenity said enthusiastically.
Yumakap agad ito kay Bliss ng makita nya ang kinikilalang ina.
"Mommy, I miss you so much. What makes you long to see me? " tanong ni Serenity
"Mommy is busy , baby but don't worry starting today I will stay here so that we can live together. You and Mommy. Is it great?" sagot ni Bliss at kinarga ang bata..
"I, you and daddy. so it's happy family." masiglang sambit ng bata. Ngumiti lang sya. "Daddy, aren't you going to kiss and hug mommy?" sabi ng bata sa nakababang ama. Nabilaukan si Bliss sa sinambit ng bata at na estatwa naman sa tinatayuan si Night dahil sa sinambit ng anak.
"Mommy are you okay?" Serenity asked worriedly.
"H-ha? Yes, baby I am fine."
"Are you sure,Mom?" Serenity asked again
"Yes." Bliss nod and reassured the child that she was alright. Tumikhim si Night
"Baby, can I talk first with your Mom?"
"Okay, Dad."
"Let's talk." he said and she followed him
He closed the door in the office and sat on his swivel chair.
"Take a seat."
Umupo naman sya sa upoan katapat ng binata
"About earlier, that was unexpected that Serenity would say it. Maybe, she thought that we are married." he said
"Then, tell her that we are not. Being your wife is not part of our contract. " she said
" It is easy to say but hard to do." he replied
"Then, what do you mean by it? Na aakto din ako na asawa mo? I can't do it. Nagsinungaling na nga tayo sa bata na ina nya ako." naiirita nyang sambit
"It is not what you think. Could you give me time sort the things out? As of now, can you pretend as my wife as well?" he said in frustration
"I can't" diretso nyang sabi
"I will pay it for that?" he said nonchalantly
"Are you serious? My goodness, Mr. Monteverde Hindi lahat pwede idaan sa pera or bayad.Hindi mo pag-aari ang buhay ko "
"Then, what do you want? Do you want that I will marry you? Then, I will." he said directly
Natawa Ng pagak si Bliss. This man is impossible
"Mr. Monteverde, ang dali dali mong sabihin yan without thinking if papayag ba ako or Hindi. seriously? kasal? Are you insane? Gusto ko makasal sa tao mahal ko, Hindi sa taong dahil sa contract.Bahala ka dyan." diretsa nyang sabi at Lumabas sa opisina.
pagkababa nya sa hagdanan nakita nya si Serenity na nakaupo sa couch. Tumakbo agad ito ng makita sya.
"Mommyyyyyyyy."
"Careful , baby. Don't run. " sabi nya at kinara ang bata.
"Mommy, did you know how to make pancake?" tanong nito
"Of course, baby. Do you want to eat pancakes?"
"Yes, mommy. I want to eat pancakes. Daddy loves to eat pancakes too. Where is daddy mommy? "
"Let's go. I will make pancakes for my baby girl."
"Yehey!" masayang sambit ni Serenity
Pumunta sila sa kusina para mag luto ng pancake. Bliss mixed all the ingredients while Serenity was fondly looking at her. Bakas ang kasiyahan na makikita sa munting anghel.
"What are you doing?" Night said when he entered the kitchen. Muntik pang mapaso si Bliss dahil sa gulat.
"Daddyyyyyyy...." Serenity exclaimed."Mommy is making our favorite pancake." she added happily
"Why are you doing that?" he said at her back. She turned her back at inirapan nya ito. Para kasi itong kabute na biglang sumulpot.
"Because I want to. Gusto ni Serenity kumain ng pancake. duh." she said annoyingly
"Mommy's duty or wifey's duty?" he said teasingly. Hinampas nya si Night sa balikat nito.
"Ouch. That hurts." daing ng binata
"Mommy, why did you beat Dad?" inosenteng tanong ng bata
"N-no baby. I didn't. I just touch him. Right, Mr. Monteverde?" aniya at kinurot nya pa sekreto si Night....
"Ah.. yes baby. Mom, just touch me. Mommy is sweet right?" nag-alinlangan sabi ni Night.
"Okay. Mommy, are you almost done?"
"Yes, baby. Wait for awhile."
After a few minutes, naluto na ang pancake. Nilagyan niya ng chocolate syrup ang pancake ni Serenity para maka kain na ito
"Thank you, Mommy." Serenity said sweetly and smile at her. Bliss smiled her back.
Nakatingin naman si Night sa kanila habang inaasikaso ni Bliss ang anak.
"Daddy, are you not going to eat? Mom prepared this for us." tanong ni Serenity sa ama.
"Of course, I will eat this baby if Mommy will put the chocolate syrup on it." he said playfully
"What? May kamay ka naman ah .ikaw mag lagay nyan." reklamo ni Bliss.
"Mommy, daddy loves chocolate syrup too." Serenity said.
Pinanlakihan niya ng mata si Night dahil sa kaartehan nito. Pangiti ngiti naman si Night habang kumain ng pancake.
Matapos kumain, nag request si Serenity na mamasyal silang tatlo sa Enchanted kingdom. They looked like a happy family. Bakas ang kasiyahan na makikita sa mukha ng bata dahil sa isip nya makakasama nya ang kanyang daddy at mommy sa pamamasyal. This is the first time na feeling ng bata kumpleto sila.
Sumakay sila sa ibat'-ibang rides. Carouse, Roaler coaster, feeris wheel.
Ng makababa na sila sa feeris Wheel sobrang putla ni Night.
"Hey, are you okay?" tanong ni Bliss sa kanya
"Yeah. I am alright." he whispered
" Are you sure?" Bliss grined.
Sumimangot si Night dahil sa reaction ni Bliss. Alam nyang pinagtatawanan sya nito.
"Baby, let's not ride the Octopus ride na lang okay. Daddy is not feeling okay." Bliss said sheepishly
"Who said I am not? Let's try it."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Okayyyyyyy." Bliss said while smiling. Deep inside alam nyang takot si Night.
Tuwang tuwa si Bliss at Serenity habang si Night naman ay takot na pero pinigilan nya ang sarili na ipahalatang takot sya.
Sinulit nila ang mga oras sa Enchanted kingdom.
Gabi na sila nakauwi sa bahay at nakatulog si Serenity dahil sa pagod sa kanilang pamamasyal.
Larawan ng isang masayang pamilya. Nagmamaneho si Night sa sasakyan pauwi sa mansion habang si Serenity ay payapang natutulog sa kandungan ni Bliss. Tahimik lang ang dalawa sa biyahe pero minsan nakaw tingin si Night kay Bliss.
Nang makarating na sila ng mansion, kinarga ni Night si Serenity papasok sa mansion at inihiga ito sa malambot na kama.
"Mommy, don't leave me. Mommy... mommy.." sambit ni Serenity na nakapikit ang mata.. Dali-daling lumapit si Bliss sa anak
"sssshhh... baby. mommy is here." hele ni Bliss habang sinuklay suklay ang buhok nito at humehele.
Hindi namalayan ni Bliss na nakatulog sya sa tabi ng bata. Pagpasok ni Night sa kwarto ng anak, nakita nya si Bliss na mahimbing na natutulog at nakayakap si Serenity sa dalaga. Hinayaan nya lang ang dalawa at nilagyan nya na lang ng kumot ito.
Nagising si Bliss sa munting ingay. kinusot-kusot nya ang kanyang mata para tuloyang magising. Pag buka ng kanyang mata, ang nakangiting si Serenity ang bumungad sa kanya
"Good morning, mommy." bati nito sa kanya at humalik sa kanyang pisngi
napangiti na lang sya sa ka kyutan nito
"Good morning , baby. How's your sleep?"
"I sleep well, mommy because you are right beside me." magiliw na sagot
"Really? That's great. What do you want to eat for breakfast , baby? I will cook it for you?" tanong nya
"I want fried rice, bacon, and sunny side up, mommy." excited na sagot ng bata
"Okay, baby. Mommy will do it for you. Let's go downstair."
Ala -sais pa ng umaga kaya may oras pa sya maka pag prepare ng agahan. Alas Nueve pa naman ang duty nya. Nang pumasok sila sa dining area papuntang kitchen nakita nya si Night na uminom ng kape habang nagbabasa ng newspaper. Naka bihis na ito papuntang opisina
"Good morning, daddy."
"Good morning, baby. How's your sleep?"
"It's awesome, dad. Mommy slept beside me. Then, mommy will cook food for my breakfast. " masayang sabi ng bata.
"That's great, baby. Eat well, okay. Mang Nestor will drive you to school." sabi ni Night sa anak.
"Aren't you be the one to send me to school, dad?"
"Sorry, baby. Daddy has an important meeting. I need to go to my office early. Is it okay with you?"
"Okay, daddy. Don't worry. Mom is here. I am not sad anymore." sagot ng bata
