The Aftermath of a One-Night Stand (Aragonza #2)

Chapter 24

Kelvin shrugged. "Maybe. I've only been to one, but I wasn't able to ride the roller coaster so I don't know yet."

"Why not?"

"Mommy hates roller coasters. Her face turns green just by looking at them."

Vince chuckled and looked at her. "Really? I didn't know that."

"Do you like roller coasters?" tanong nito sa ama.

"I do. I can ride with you, if you want."

She was relieved to see them bonding already. Kelvin got so many questions. Halatang curious ito sa ama, pero medyo skeptical pa ito.

Mag-a-alas onse na nang makarating sila sa amusement park dahil medyo malayo iyon. Naghanap muna sila ng kakainan dahil gutom na silang mag-ina. Kelvin wanted to eat at KFC. Ayaw sana niya sa fast food, but Vince was so eager to please his son kaya um-oo kaagad ito.

"Do you want the bucket meal?" he asked Kelvin.

Kelvin, in turn, looked up to her. "Mommy, can we order the bucket meal?"

"Hindi mo mauubos 'yon," she told him. Then she turned to Vince. "One piece chicken na lang."

"Pero hindi ka pa nagbi-breakfast. And I'm already hungry."

"I'm hungry too," pagsakay ni Vince. "Let's order the bucket meal."

So in the end, she had to agree because she's outnumbered. Two versus one. She had a feeling that this won't be the last time that they'll gang up on her. Matagal na pa namang naghahanap si Kelvin ng kakampi kapag may gusto ito na hindi niya sinasang-ayunan.

Sana nga lamang ay hindi ito masyadong ma-spoil kay Vince.

Naghanap silang mag-ina ng available na table habang si Vince naman ay um-order. Para talaga silang isang pamilya. It would have been great if Vince loves her too, because that would be like a cherry on top of a delicious sundae, sweet and perfect. But she knows that he's only doing it because of Kelvin.

Tuwang-tuwa ang anak niya nang dumating si Vince with their order.

"Can I use my hands?" tanong nito.

"Wash them first." Tumayo siya. "Tara sa CR."

Kelvin nodded and followed her. Dali-dali itong naghugas ng kamay at saka patakbong bumalik sa pwesto nila. Vince had already distributed the plates. Nabuksan na rin nito ang kanin at nailagay na iyon sa plato nila.

"Let's eat!" he announced.

Parehong leg part ang kinuha ng mag-ama. Pareho ring sinabawan ng mga ito ng gravy ang kanin. They may not realize it yet, pero halos pareho ng galaw ang mga ito. They both held their chicken using their left hands and used their right hands to pick up the rice.

Sa kaaliwan niya panunuod ay nakalimutan na niyang kumain.

"Mommy, aren't you hungry?" takang-tanong ni Kelvin sa kanya.

Nginitian lamang niya ito saka siya nagsimulang kumain. Kanang kamay lamang ang ginamit niya para iyong kaliwa, panghawak ng drinks nilang tatlo. Kapag nauuhaw ang dalawa, sya ang tagaabot ng inumin sa mga ito.

Unang beses niyang makitang ganoon kaganang kumain ang anak. Nakakadalawang chicken na ito at dalawang kanin. Kung normal na araw ay hindi ito kakain ng ganoon kalaki. Siguro ay dahil na rin kay Vince kaya malaki ang gana nito.

It's not until Vince had finished eating that Kelvin also stopped.

"I'm so full!"

"Ang dami mo kasing kinain."
