"So, we're should we go now?"

I ask while looking around then took a quick glance to Leigh and Xia.

"Playground!"

"Arcade!"

They said in unison and glare at each other afterwards.

"I want playground!"

"I want arcade!"

Sabay ulit nilang sabi habang masama ang tingin sa isa't isa, Xia went to me then pull the hem of my shirt while looking at me with pouty eyes.

"Mommyyy.. I want playground, let's go there please? Pretty please?" she said while almost begging.

"Nooo!! Babyy, let's go to arcade first, pleaseeeee?" Sabat naman ni Leigh, after she went to my other side then shake my hands vigorously.

I look at them one by one while they continues to whine and shoot daggers to each other. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ang hilig hilig asarin ni Leigh itong bata, kanina niya pa iniinis e.

"Mommaaa! I wanna playyy!"

"But there's a lot of games in arcade than playground!"

"But I want playground!"

"No! I want arcade!"

I sigh,

She really doesn't want to stop, does she?

"Noooo, I wanna go to playground!"

"Playground is so bor-"

"Enough." I cuts her off using my monotone that made her step back and shut of mouth.

Same as Xia who immediately lower her head while fidgeting her fingers.

Parang kanina mukha silang aso't pusa pero ngayon mukha na silang maamong tupa.

"Let's go to shopping mall- and I don't take a no as an answer. We'll go there, wether you like it or not." I said with a final decision after I stopped her from opening her mouth.

"Let's go." I look at them with one last warning look before starting to walk again, leaving them.

I can sense that they immediately followed that made me sigh in relief, they're giving me a headache. Especially when Leigh is acting like a kid too.

"You made her mad again, momma." Xia whispered but I still heard it.

"What? It's not me! It's you kaya, you're so stubborn e." Ang hilig talaga pumatol sa bata, she's really getting into my nerves.

"Whatever momma, it's your responsibility to make her happy again. Make suyo to her again momma or else she won't talk to you again." Xia said that made me bite my lip to prevent it from laughing.

Geez, she sounded like a matured girl than her momma.

"Eh? Aish, fine. Buset na suyuan to, akala mo naman jowa ako, eh hindi naman. Tsk." Rinig kong reklamo niya, and it made me laugh at the back of my head.

She's really like a kid.

But the scene earlier inside the car hasn't been leaving my mind, I was really shock and st the same time worried sick to her.

It made me think if does she have been experiencing that in these past few days or what?

I was right after all, she still doesn't remember it all. It's like those forgotten memories are slowly coming back, just now.

Including our memories.

So this is what she meant by "𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘴" huh?
