"If 'yon po mas maganda then sur-"

"What are you all talking about? Sali naman!" Jill suddenly entered the kitchen.

While she's walking towards her Mama Leni, napatingin s'ya saglit sa kamay namin ni Tricia. She's still holding it kahit nakapatong lang ang kamay ko sa lamesa.

"Anak, Jill we're just talking about the upcoming rally," Tita answered Jill's question.

"Really? So saan tayo next?"

"Actually, I was about to ask you to come with me to Bataan. Samahan na kita,"

"Bataan? Sure, Ma! I'm not that busy na po," Jill said and looked at me. "Kasama po sina Y/N?"

"No, anak. May sarili silang lakad ni Tricia," sagot ni Tita and Jill gave me a confused look before looking back sa nanay n'ya. "I asked Y/N to come with Tricia sa Batangas, para may kasama ang kapatid mo. Actually, Y/N's about to say something kanina bago ka dumating. What is it again, nak?"

"I said uhh.." I looked at Tricia and she nodded at me. "I'll go with Tri-"

"It's okay naman, Ma if kay Ate Trish ka sumama. Y/N can come with me naman," tumingin sa akin si Jill. "Right, bubby?"

Naramdaman kong mas lalong humigpit ang pagkakahawak ni Tricia sa kamay ko.

"I think it's much better Jill if si Mama kasama mo," Tricia said.

"Ate Trish, konti pa lang nasasamahan mong rally so I guess mas okay if si Mama kasama mo,"

"Let me have Y/N with me na," Tricia said trying to calm her voice.

I switched the position of Tricia's hand and mine. Sa akin na ang nasa ibabaw ngayon, I gently squeezed it and rubbed the back of her hand using my thumb. Trying to calm her.

"Why not let's just ask Y/N?" Jill said at tiningnan ako bago ngumiti. "What do you think, bubby?"

Kumuha s'ya ng baso at tubig bago uminom doon. "Ako o si Ate Tricia?"

Napalunok ako. Heto na naman tayo, e.
