The Christmas season always reminds me of this type of scenario. ;)

Happy memories?
Or
Bitter sweet memories?

Pipay POV

I finished changing my clothes and went downstairs to see my two sons and their father having a good time in the garden. It feels great to see your children having fun with their father. At that point, I decided to make pasta for them, which is a favorite of my two sons as well as my hus— ex husband, okay, their father nalang.

I finished cooking with Yolly's assistance. Yolly made cedar-planked salmon, and chicken adobo. They also set the table. I go to the kitchen to get the cake I baked for dessert last night.

"Yeheyy, dinner time." Robin exclaimed.
"Wow! Mom, no way!" Robin exclaimed when he smelled the pasta.
"Mom? Did you cook the...?" Ram inquired.
"Uh-huh," I said, "I cook your favorite."
"Nice!" Mart exclaimed. "Looks like it's delicious pipay!"

"Dad, hindi mukha. Kundi masarap talaga! Si mom pa, she knows how to cook and she is the best cook at the same time, right mom? " Robin said, slightly laughing, before settling into his chair.

There was a brief moment of silence (awkward, I suppose, hahaha). Pipay rolled her eyes at what Robin had said, then spoke up to break the silence.

"All right, take a seat and let's eat" I said.

Ang kanyang mag-aama naman ay kukuha na sana unang nakuha ni Robin ang serving spoon, pero tinapik ko ang kamay niya.

"Bakit mama?" Robin
"First, let's pray, baby," I suggested.
"Robin? Son, lead the prayer," Mart instructed.

They eat after the prayer. What a happy family they are.

"Dad, mom hoping ako na mas madalas na sana yung ganitong bonding natin." Ram said.
"Oo nga, if I'm not mistaken, I believe this is our first dinner together in how many years after the sad times in our lives." Robin said at nagkatinginan naman kami ni Mart.
"Yes we will. Kung okay lang sa mommy niyo, okay na okay sakin son's" Mart said and look at me and smile.
"Uhmm, o-okay naman why not diba?" I said medyo mautal utal pa.
"Sure ka, pipay?" Mart ask.
"Oo naman no" I said then take a bite of adobo.
"Yoooon, if that's the case dapat mas dalasan mo na dito Dad hmmm." robin said. Na halos mabulunan naman ako ng narinig yun.
