Her phone's clock read 10:31 AM when Veronica checked it after waking up.
Confident and secured that Rawlf was just outside waiting for her and maybe doing his work there, Rawlf lazily stayed still in bed for a good two minutes before deciding to freshen up.
However, Veronica can't help but still be nervous of what she is to reveal to the man.
It's not just a what but the "who are" and Veronica still don't know where and how to start.
For a fact, she couldn't be blamed because who would have thought that the man she proved last night was so doting on her it's like he's madly in love with her!
Veronica blushed and felt mushy recalling Rawlf's gentle voice last night in her "sleep".
After freshening up, Veronica decided to call her mother first to inform her family, much like her father, about this development.
Yes, she's old enough to decide for herself but her family had always been there supporting her all the way through her pregnancy until now that the twins are older. Her siblings were very doting on her children and she couldn't be grateful enough.
"Vivi?", Celerina's concerned voice was heard from the other line. "Mom. It's me. I need to tell you something."
"What is it? Something happened to you there? Would you like me to send you more forces to help you establish there? Or is it about-"
"Mom, ...listen first."
Celerina's worried tone and chain of questions made Veronica grinned. This side of her mother, she could really relate to. Indeed, mothers.
Celerina turned silent in understanding as she waited for Veronica to continue to talk.
"I have been with the twins' father now. And and, I'm about to reveal the twins' existence to
him, today."
Celerina, who was very shocked by the news, knew better than to gasp loudly or whatever the usual motherly dramatic reaction. Rather, she calmed herself in silence, making Veronica comfortable to continue.
"He is Rawlf Sy. Sy International CEO."
After a long silence from the other line, Celerina replied that caught Veronica off guard. "You love the man?"
"Mom, I...-"
"You're not sure of it yet?"
"It's not about that mom, it's just that-"
"How about him? Are you sure that he really loves you? I won't judge him or jump to conclusions because our circumstances back then were indeed hard and we left suddenly, but, how are you sure about him?"
Veronica smiled and then told her mother the full story from her misunderstanding to her reconciliation with Rawl last night. Not forgetting to add the content of his talk while she was "sleeping" which made her trust the man even more and to put good words for him on her mother.
Celerina, on the other hand, believes in her daughter's words and already has a good impression about the man. After all, he couldn't be blamed for not knowing about his children with her daughter since their situation was complicated then.
