By Your Side

Chapter 22

Irene

Naramdaman ko nalang na may gumigising sa akin. At first, I thought it was Greggy but I'm wrong.

"Tataaa! wake up na pooo." it's Sandro. "Yes?" I asked, sleepy.

"Tataa, it's already 7:30 but class starts at 8 po." he uttered, I opened my eyes and he's already pouting.

I chuckled. "Can my Sandeng wait?" I asked, he nodded.

"I'll wait you here, tata." I smiled and about to stood up. "Hey stay paa." Greggy whispered.

"No, Tito! She's gonna take me to school." Sandro told him, bossy. I laughed, "Oh narinig mo? so let go of me." binitawan nya naman ang beywang ko.

I stood up and went to the bathroom. I take a quick bath. "Tataa! I'm gonna be late!" he shouted.

"Wait lang! Wag kang bossy dyan." I told him. Binuksan ko naman ang pinto at nakasimangot na siya.

"Tata, late na talaga ako po." he uttered, I looked at the clock.

"Ay tigilan mo ko, Sandeng! 7:55 palang" I replied.

"My class starts at 8am nga po, kulit." I rolled my eyes, nakahanap pa ako ng katapat ko.

"Oh tara na." I told him and carry him. "Walang goodbye kiss?" we heard my boyfriend asked.

"Tigil-tigilan mo ko, may bata!" I hissed. "Hmmp, sungit." he replied, I just ignore him.

Bumaba naman kami at nadatnan sila Ate at Kuya. "Oh, buti nagising kana nyan." Ate uttered.

"Dapat lang, tita no!" this boy talaga! "Alis na kami, at baka kapag kumain pa ko sumabog na to. Manang mana pa naman sa tatay." I glared at Kuya.

"Bakit ako? pamangkin mo yan." he said. "Anak mo naman!" I hissed. "Tata, makikipag bardagulan kapa e. Lets go naa."

He keeps talking in the car. "Ang daldal mo naman!" I told him and laughed.

"Mana lang kay Tita, tata."

"Oo, buti alam mo!" It's already 8:15 when we arrived. I went out first and opened the door for him.

"Tata, ngayon lang po ako nalate." I glared at him. "Wag kanang choosy! Nung nagaaral nga ako laging late e. Tapos ikaw magrereklamo pa." I uttered.

I held his hands and hinatid siya sa gate. I kneeled down to level him.

"Be a good boy, okay? Don't make fight, be friendly." I reminded him. "Yes, tata! Later ice cream tayo ha?" he asked, I smiled.

"Sure!" I replied, "Bye tata!" he waved his hands, I waved back. "Kuya, anong oras ang uwian nila?" I asked, the guard.

"Ano po ba siya?" he asked. "Tao po, char. Kinder po." I replied.

"2:00 po uwian na nila." he replied, I smiled and thanked him. I'm now going home since I'm already hungry.

Nakakita ako ng nagtitinda ng pandesal malapit sa papasok ng village, I stopped and buy first.

I'm now already home. "Umalis na ba, ate?" I asked, when I saw ate in the garden.

"Hindi pa. Hinihintay ka pa sa room mo." I nodded and went to my room. "Love.." I called him.

"Sa closet po!" he yelled. I went to my closet and he's fixing his tie.

"Come." I told him, he smiled and walked towards me. I fixed his tie as I'm smiling at him.

"Malalate kana."

"Love, I don't have work today, remember? may pupuntahan lang po ako." he said, I nodded.

"Ang ganda mo ngayon." he suddenly uttered, I raised my one brow.
