"Ay ano ka. Magbo-bonding kami ng anak ko. Gumawa ka na lang ng iyo." she uttered.
I scoffed and just eat. Pagkatapos ay umakyat ulit ako para mag-apply ng light make up. Then I grab the boxes, my keys and my bag.
Nang pababa ako, I heard them in the garden. Nilagay ko muna sa sasakyan ko ang mga box, then head back to the garden.
"Mommy alis na ako." They are now eating my brownies.
"This is so good Irene ha." Liza praised the food.
"Really?"
"I swear. Kahit makalbo pa ang kuya mo" she chuckled.
I saw him glaring at us as he overheard what we are talking about. "Ikaw nga hindi marunong magluto"
"As if marunong ka" sagot uli ni Liza
I just laughed at them, "Sige una na ako"
"Will you drive anak?"
"Yes Mommy"
"Mag-iingat ha. Eyes on the road. Wag magpapatakbo ng mabilis."
"I will mommy. See you later" I said and kissed her on the cheek. I also did the same to Bongbong, Liza, Manang Imee and Borgy. Then I waved my hand goodbye.
I drove to the company. Marami pa ding tao kahit na Linggo. Binati ako ng guard bago ako dumiretso sa loob. Pinindot ko ang 17, which is his floor. When I reached there, naabutan ko ang secretary niya, looking for something.
"Stapler. Papers. Paperclips. More papers. There it is! Thumbtacks!" he said.
"Excuse me, Josh. Good morning. Is Greggy inside?"
"Ay hala. Good morning Ms. Irene. Nasa 15th floor po si Sir. Tara po. Tulungan ko na po kayo diyan"
Ibinigay ko sa kanya ang dalawang box at bumaba ulit kami. I saw him helping them decorate the stage.
"It's better to move it to the right. Tabingi kasi." Tiningnan ko ang tinutukoy niya at mga printed letters iyon, tarpapel ata ang tawag. "Move it here. A little bit more to the right. And there. Okay na"
I walked towards him and tapped his shoulders. "Oh my god. What are you doing here? Bakit hindi ka nagsasabi?" gulat niyang sabi.
I showed him the boxes. "I brought meryenda. Surprise! I made these"
"All of them? You didn't have to, but thanks. I appreciate it." Bumaling siya sa mga kasama niya. "You guys can take a break. Try the brownies Irene made."
Kita ko ang saya sa mukha nila, napapalakpak pa ang iba. They look so happy with the food, yung totoo, pinapakain ba ni Greggy ang mga ito?
"Are you not giving them food?" I asked him.
"Of course I do. Baka sawa na sila sa puro food ng canteen" he chuckled. "Sa office muna tayo."
I frowned. "Aakyat na naman?"
"Dali na. Magulo dito." hinila niya ako. "I will take this" sabi niya sa mga nandoon at kinuha ang isang box. "We'll be back" sabi pa niya dahilan para makatanggap kami ng panunukso.
Nasa elavator pa lang ay sinimulan na niyang kumain. "Ang sarap nito. You sure you made these?"
"Are you doubting me?" I raised my eyebrow.
"Just making sure. Mas masarap pa to kesa sa nabibili sa mga mamahaling shop" he chuckled.
"Kakasya ba yong tatlong box sa kanila? Napakatakaw mo kase, inangkin mo ang buong box"
