"Love, Uno's still sick. Please come home, love. I need you!"
I got nervous and anxious when Uno still had a high fever. I already gave him a paracetamol yet his body temperature didn't decrease. So, I had to call Jonas even if he was in the middle of his work. I don't know what to do anymore.
"Wait for me, okay? Did he take his medicine already?"
"Yes, love, but nothing happened. Should I take him to the hospital?"
"I'm coming home, love. Just wait for me, okay?"
"Please hurry up. Take care too. Bye."
I placed my phone on the table and scooped Uno in my arms. His medicine didn't have any effect on him. He also had a patch on his head to cool his body temperature down but still, it's all useless.
"Papa's coming home, baby. Stay with Mama okay?" I said gently and caressed his back.
Uno was just silent while he was hugging me. I wanted to cry because I felt hopeless and helpless. Uno wasn't crying but it was obvious he was

When Uno fully recovered, we went back home. Mommy was still checking us from time to time while Dad was supporting us too, guiding both me and Jonas."Love," I called Jonas who was on the kitchen while I was on the living room. Today was his rest day and the three of us are here. Manang Marites took her rest day since Jonas is here."Yes, love?""About you said that we are going to Leyte."He washed his hands with tap water and wiped them with white cloth. His eyes spoke curiosity."Have you decided already?" He asked, looking straight at me."Yup. You said we will stay there for three days.""Yes, love. When do you want us to go?""Depends on your schedule, love. You might have some work to finish.""We're almost done with the blueprint. I'll update you once we settled everything.""Sure thing." I agreed

Thrante and I went home together. We were still outside the gate when our personal driver met us there."You look beautiful today, Ciela," he praised politely."Do I look like a lady again, Manong?" I joked."Yes, Ma'am! You look like you don't have a child."I blushed. He was always the kind person to me. He was closed to my heart, like a second father."Are you going inside now?" He asked."Yes. Where is Uno by the way?""He is inside, Ma'am. Your mother is babysitting him but what I know is that he is sleeping.""Okay, Manong." I smiled at him.As we entered inside the house, my breathing froze as darkness welcomed us. There was an array of small candles on the floor and a LED lights above. Thrante and I traced the end of it as my heart was beating so loud against my chest.When we reached the endpoint,

Jonas joined in the conversation. He stood right next to me and held my waist."Thank you, tito, for allowing me to marry your daughter. I won't promise anything but I will do my best for Uno and for Etincelle," he said politely."No problem, son. Just do what makes my girl happy.""I will, tito.""Call him Dad. He's your future father-in-law," I teased and turned to my Das. "Right, Dad?""Of course. When will be the wedding?""No exact date, tito. Etincelle will decide.""Me?" I overreacted, shocked. "But why me?""Because I want you to be ready to commit once you will say your vow,"My heart skipped a beat. I suddenly felt nervous. I'd been attending weddings of my friends but I had no idea what it felt like. They were just crying tears of joy. I don't exactly know how it feels."Where is Uno, b

"What makes you like Jonas, day?" Tito Bong asked me while he was driving. We were on our way home.Everything, Tito Bong. Jonas is responsible. One of a kind."I glanced at Jonas and smiled at him. He reached for my hand and locked it with his.If there was one thing I liked about Jonas was him being responsible. I never knew he was like that until I witnessed it myself."It's his nature, day. He is caring and thoughtful. When he was just little, he was the one who's taking care of his younger siblings.""True enough, Tito Bong. That's why I was really kind of surprised when I found out he knows how to babysit Uno.""Uno is the name of your son?""Yes, Tito Bong.""He's a boy, huh? When is his birthday by the way?""May 18.""It's fast approaching. How old is he now?""Seven months."

They bought liempo and lechon manok. We gathered around the table. Jonas and I sat next to each other. At my right was was Tessa. Next to her was her mother and the old woman."You just came home at the perfect date, dong. My birthday is tomorrow," the old woman stated in her own dialect which was the bisaya."I made sure we can attend your birthday, Ma," Jonas replied, who spoke also using his dialect."Awe. That's thoughtful of you. So, you will be staying here?""Yes, Ma. My wife and I will occupy my room. So as Uno."Jonas was calling his grandma "Mama". I wondered why.Uno reached for my plate, which created a noise of my untensils. Good thing Jonas was too quick to hold Uno's hand. He helped me to glide the plate away from me so Uno cannot reach it anymore."Arang himusa nija uy!" The old woman blurted out. "Earlier he was playing cars. He h

I waited 'till Jonas came home. Everyone was still busy and from where I was sitting, I could hear Honey's voice. She was talking to Lola Helena.Why was she here? Did Lola Helena invite her?The door creaked open. I hoisted Uno up and got up. I welcomed the ones who were coming in.I halted in between when I saw another familiar face. My eyes locked to his. His lips spread wide and his eyes glistened."Hey," he greeted with a breathy smile. It was contagious."Hey," I greeted and went to him.I stepped back, pulling Uno closer to me."I didn't know that you are actually here," he said with a smile. "Since when did you arrive?""Yesterday. How about you?""Last week. I did some business here.""That's good. I forgot you're Joe's friend.""Yep. We grew up together, along with Joshua and Hon

It was past one in the afternoon when Uno fell asleep. I lied next to him while scrolling up on my socmed account."It's not yet too late to try. You're still learning. Don't feel bad about your mistakes and shortcomings."My chest hurt. I wanted to blame myself for being like this. They were right when they said I needed to learn the household chores. I wouldn't deny that. Yet, it hurt me.I sniffed and wiped my tears away. There were things that my emotion couldn't handle. I grew up spoon-fed by my parents. I didn't have to work hard because I always got what I wanted. I was sheltered. I was loved perfectly.But this kind of set up made me realize that things were different already. And I needed to adjust and adapt. I can't do it immediately but at least I was putting efforts on it."Love?" Jonas called out upon opening and closing the door.I switched

After the dinner, we had some conversation then the guests went home after that. Uno was already asleep even before the invitees went home.Jacob already had three shots. He started the fun and now he's kind of tipsy."I don't drink, Jacob," Honey refused as she waved her hands dismissively."You still don't drink? My god, Honey!"They laughed at Jacob's statement but Honey seemed fine. It seemed like she got used in being tease
