Until I knew what happened to my baby. Agad kong kinuha ang phone ko.
After few rings, he answered. "Hoy Gregorio!" bungad ko. "Panagutan niyo ng aso mo ang ginawa niya sa aso ko ha!"
"W-what? Panagutan? Ni Cleo? Si Persephone?" sunod-sunod niyang tanong.
"Your dog got my dog pregnant!" I pointed it out.
"Oh..." he uttered and chuckled afterwards.
"Hindi nakakatawa Greg ha!"
"I'm sorry" nagpipigil na aniya. "Ang galing naman ng aso ko, nauna pang naka-points kaysa sa akin"
"Isa Gregorio!"
"Just kidding" he chuckled again. "Wow, Cleo is a dad now"
"But Persephone is still a baby! My baby's gonna have a baby now!"
"Chill love, and Persephone is my baby too, 'no. Don't worry, Cleo is gonna be a good dad. Tsaka kahit naman hindi mabuntis si Persephone nagbibigay naman ako ng sustento." he chuckled again.
Because of this unexplainable feeling, I ended the call.
I don't know kung matutuwa ba ako or hindi. Ewan!
Persephone is still a baby!

I was making my bed when suddenly a pair of arms snaked around my waist. "Good morning my love" he whispered.
"Good morning love" I replied.
"I was thinking..." he said that made me turn around to face him.
"Love, if this is about our lakad today, it's still a no. Hindi ka pwedeng sumama" I said.
"Sige na kasi love" he pleaded.
"Magpapasukat ako ng gown Greg, hindi ka pwedeng sumama" I repeated. "Magagalit sila Mommy"
"Hindi ko naman titignan yung gagawing gown eh. Tsaka baka mamaya lalaki ang kukuha ng sukat mo" he pouted.
"This isn't my decision love, it's my mom and your mom's. Besides, may work ka ngayon 'di ba?"
"Ako naman ang boss, I can--"
"Shut up Gregorio. A no is a no, end of discussion. Go work and earn some money"
"Hmp!" he said and walked out.
Aba, nagdadabog!
I ignored his tantrums and went to take a bath. Tita Emma requested na tatlo lang kami nina Mommy ang pupunta so I said yes.
Bahala na si Greggy, malaki na siya.
After getting ready, I went downstairs to eat. Nadatnan ko na kumakain na sila Greggy, di man lang ako hinintay.
"Sit down, aalis na raw kayo mamaya" Manang told me.
Hindi umiimik si Greggy sa'kin pero naglagay siya ng pagkain sa plato ko.
Sus, gagalit-galitan pa, kala mo naman matitiis ako.
When I was done eating, sakto namang lumabas si Mommy and told me na sa shop na lang kami magkikita.
"Love, we're going na" paalam ko sa lalaking nasa kwarto ko ngayon pero hindi ako pinansin.
Okay. Kapag ako ang hindi pumansin ngayon, iyak ka.
I just grabbed my purse and head out.

"This one is pretty" I picked out one of the sketch the designer showed us earlier. No other than Mommy's friend, Renato Balestra.
