Pumunta nalang akong mini mart yun kasi ang malapit, naglalakad lang kasi ako, nakakatamad na kasi kung babalik pako para kunin lang yung sasakyan ko
Pumasok naku sa MINI MART at pumili ng mga bibilhin ko
"Jusko kaninong bata ito" narinig kung sabi ng isang ginang
Ako na may kunting pagka chismosa lumapit naman ako para maki oshyoso, as a Writer kailangan din natin ng mga inspirasyon noh
"Naku! Sinong mga magulang ng batang ito... Sinong magbabayad ng mga binuksan nya" rinig kung sabi uli ng isa pang costumer
medyo maliit lang ako mga 5'5 lang kaya diko makita kung ano yung mga ganap actually konti lang naman talaga yung mga bumibili pero medyo crowded lang kasi nasa maliit na space sila naka palibot, after 1-2 minutes nasa harapan nadin ako and I see a child, I think he age 3-4 years old
The kid still keep on opening some of the store's chocolate naka-upo ito sa sahig katabi ng mga balat ng chocolate na nakain nya na, lalapitan na sana sya ng isang store staff pero sumigaw ito, and my eyes grow big dahil sa sinabi ng bata
"Momma! Momma!" Banda sa akin naka tingin yung bata akala ko sa likod sya nakatingin pero wala nang tao sa likod ko
Humarap sa akin yung staff "Ikaw ba ang ina ng batang ito" hindi ako nakasagot agad dahil sa pagkabigla
"Momma!" Tawag uli sakin ng bata
Tinignan ko ang bata, sa tingin ko may lahi tong batang to green eyes eh, paiyak nayung bata ng tinignan ko sya kaya wala na akong nagawa at sinagot ko nalang yung staff
Lumapit ako sa bata, pinatayo at pinagagan ko ito "Sorry po, babayaran ko nalang yung mga binuksan nya sorry po talaga" paghingi ko ng paumanhin
Asan naba yung mga magulang nitong batang toh, bat nila iniiwan kung saan-saan, pano nalang kung nakidnap toh
"Ayy naku, bantayan mo na yang anak mo sa susunod" sabi ng store staff sakin, pano ko babantayan eh hindi ko naman anak to
Lumakad nalang ako habang hawak-hawak tong batang to
"Let's go baby, mag-babayad na tayo" sabi ko sa bata pero mukhang hindi nya ako na iintindihan
"Huh?" Patanong na sagot ng bata
"I mean let's go we will pay for this,on the cashier" sabi ko sa kanya
"Momma, I'm tired want carry" ayy iba spokening dollar ang bata
Wala na akong nagawa at kinarga nalang yung bata, wow katarina instant mommy ang peg,pag ito nalaman ni emma siguradong luluwa yung mata non
"Okay okay baby" woah, infairness mabigat sya ah
Lumapit na ako sa cashier para bayaran yung pinamili ko kasama nadun yung mga binuksan at kinain ng batang toh
"3793 po lahat ma'am" sabi ng cashier at binayaran ko nalang
"Thank you " sabi ko habang karga ko padin yung bata
Pagkatapos kung magbayad lumabas naku kasama ang bata, huminto ako sa isang cafe na bukas pa katabi lang ng MINI MART
"Baby where is your mom or dad" Tanong ko sa bata pagka upo namin
"No mom,only dad" sagot naman ng bata sa akin
Oh, so a single dad nice, don't get me wrong I'm just mesmerised to the idea of a man talking care of his child alone because we all know its not a normal thing, mostly the child will go with his/her mother rather than his/her father
"Okay where is your daddy" tanong ko ulit sa bata
"Don't know, I run away from Mrs.helen " ay shuta tumakas, hindi kaya hinahanap nato ng yaya nya
"Do you have any contact number of your dad or Mrs. Helen " sana naman nag iwan sila ng tag or piece of paper with their number on the childs pocket or something noh
"Mrs. Helen put some number under my shirt, she said if I got lost I'll find someone like a cashier in the store or a guard and ask them to call her with the number in my shirt" thanks god, mabuti nalang matalino tung batang toh
"But I got hungry, that's why I forgot and just eat the food in there" ah- anong akala nya sa store libre yung mga tinitinda dun
"Come here let me call Mrs. Helen" tawag ko sa kanya at lumapit naman sya sa akin
Kinuha ko yung number na naka attached sa t-shirt ng bata para tawagan yung sinasabi nyang Mrs. Helen
"You hungry? You want cake Or something" tanong ko sa bata at tumango naman ito sa akin
"Momma, thankies" cute, but I'm not your momma kid, sa natatandaan ko wala pang lumalabas na bata galing sa kweba ko
"No baby, I'm not your momma" sabi ko sa bata
Pero pinipilit parin nyang momma nya daw ako "But I want you to be my momma" hayyss mukha naba talaga akong ina
"What's your name baby" tanong ko ulit sa bata
"Im Luciano, how about you?" Ayy taray
Nilapitan ko sya at triny na ipaintindi sa kanya na hindi ako ang ina nya
"Im katarina nice to meet you yoo, Luciano.....listen Luciano, I'm not your momma okay" pag papaintindi ko sa kanya
"But I like you, your kind and your beautiful be my momma please, please" with puppy eyes yan huh.... Hayss ang cute cute kung pwede lang ebulsa ito binulsa ko nato
"Hayyyss, okay for now you can call me momma, but this is just for now" kung ganto ka cute ba naman ang nasaharap mo makakahindi kaba
"Yeyyy, I have momma already momma momma" he looks so happy, I smile at him jumping with enthusiasm, how can this cute kid left by his mother
We talk about his favorites and his toys nonstop, he tells me about the places he go, I just can't get enough of his cuteness while telling a story, he looks so happy that he has someone listening to his stories, this kid wants to experience mother's love he longed for it
He become so comfortable with me, he keeps holding my arms while telling his adventures so cute, After how many minutes some 45-50 years old lady approach us
"Are you Mrs. Helen?" Tanong ko sa kanya
"Yes, I'm so sorry for the trouble, hilig kasi ng batang to tumakas eh nalingat lang kami saglit nawala na, thank you talaga, mapapatay talaga kami ng ama nito" sabi nya sakin, well may pagka adventurous pala tong batang to
I just smile at her "No problem"
She keeps saying thank you's to me, as if I save her life
"Let's go Luciano, your father is waiting for us" tawag nya kay baby Luciano
"But I want momma"pagmamatigas na pagsama nya sa yaya nya
Tumingin sa akin yung yaya nya nagtataka siguro bakit ako tinatawag na momma ni Luciano nginitian ko nalang sya
Nilapitan ko si Luciano at pinakiusapan kasi ayaw nya talagang sumama sa yaya nya gusto nyang sakin sumama
I level myself to him "Ahm, how about this baby, go home first today and, I'll meet you up tomorrow or next day how about that! Or you can call me if you want" pag e-explain ko sa kanya sana naman mag agree tong bata nato
"I want tomorrow" sabi nya sakin habang naka smile sa akin haruuuyy ang cute na bata
I smile and pat his head softly "Okay tomorrow it is, go with Mrs Helen for now baby, okay!" He smile and nod repeatedly at me
Tinignan ko silang dalawa papalayo sa akin, hayyss ang sarap siguro ng may anak ang kaso sinong papasok sa kweba ko eh wala naman akong jowa para magbigay ng sperm sa akin
