And I’m still processing it.
“Looks like you’re thinking too deep that you didn’t notice me.”
Napakurap-kurap ako at napatingin kay Dio na nakaupo na sa tapat ko. He’s intently looking at me with a grin on his lips.
“Your early, akala ko mamaya ka pa.”
“Well, I finished all my works last night kaya kaunti nalang ang naiwan ngayon. And I have something for you. I’m sure you’ll love this.” He handed me a cellophane and my eyes glistened because I know what it is.
“Mango Ice cream?!”
“Hmm-mm.” He gives me thumbs up. “It’s all yours, cousin. H’wag ka lang maingay kay mommy dahil papagalitan ako no’n.”
Natatawang tumango ako at kinuha ang ice cream.
“Maraming salamat, Dio!”
“You’re welcome.”
I giggled and started eating my favorite mango ice cream. Ito talaga ang cravings ko no’ng bago pa lang ako magbuntis at kahit hanggang ngayon ay ito parin ang hinahanap ko. It’s just that, Tita were very strict when it comes to health. Na kahit ang pinaglilihian kong ice cream ay minsan niya lang pinapatikim sa akin.
And my cousin here can’t take it because he knows how I love mango ice cream. Kaya minsan kung umuuwi siya, nagdadala talaga siya ng ice cream at patagong binibigay sa akin.
If Tita will find this out, he will be dead for sure.
“Kaya kita paboritong pinsan eh.” I said.
“Ako lang ang pinsan mo.”
I just hummed. Si Dio lang ang nag-iisang anak nina Tita kaya kung makapag-alaga siya sa aming magkakapatid ay para na rin naming ina. She had complications to her ovary and even though she wants second child, it would be risky. Kaya kahit mahirap ay hindi na nila sinundan si Dio. Tito can’t take the risk because it’s too dangerous. He don’t want to lose his wife.
“Sasama ka ba sa ‘kin mamaya na sunduin ang mga kapatid mo? We can stop in your favorite shop.”
Napatigil ako sa pagkain para ituon ang atensyon ko sa kanya.
“I’d love too! Gusto kong kumain ng durian. Oh, I miss eating that delicious fruit.”
“Okay, you’ll come with me.” Dumukwang siya at mahinang pinisil ang pisngi ko. “ako nang bahalang kumausap kay mom. I’m sure she’ll let you go with me.”
“’Di mo sure.”
He rolled his eyes. “I’ll try, okay? Besides, gusto mo rin namang sumama kaya gagawa ako ng paraan.”
Ngumiti lang ako at nagpatuloy sa pagkain. Dio is really supportive when it comes to me. Siguro dahil ako lang ang pinsan niyang halos kaedad niya. Dio is like my older brother even though he’s younger than me. At gustong-gusto ko sa’tuwing sinusuportahan niya ako sa gusto ko.
“Kids! Lunch is ready!”
Mabilis na nailagay ko sa cellophane and naubos ko ng ice cream. Pinunasan ko ang labi ko dahil baka may naiwan pang bakas ng ice cream doon.
