Several Months After
"Ahhhhh finally!!!"
"Any plans for vacation Whendy?"
"Me? Hmm more like family bonding" I smiled
"Sus yearly naman kayong nagtatravel ng family niyo" Xariel commented
"True, iba talaga kapag may private plane ang family and comes from the royal family" Michelle teased
"Don't worry Michelle I'll keep my promise to you"
"Tigilan mo ako Whendy, uugod-ugod na ako bago ka magkaanak. Seriously? Irereto mo ako sa magiging anak mo? Hindi ako pédo ano!"
Xariel and I both laughed because of her
"I was just kidding no! I won't let my future baby becomes your lover, you'll become her ninang instead"
"Sige, tumatanggap ka ba ng 50 pesos na pamasko?"
Okay lang... Hindi naman pera or pamasko ang role ng ninang/ninong sa inaanak right? They are the second parent for their godchildren and not a money giver or a gift giver every Christmas day.
"Whendelyn?"
"J-jemuel.. uhh yeah?"
"Can we talk?"
"Nag-uusap na tayo" pabalang na sagot ko sa kanya
"I mean for a minute or an hour?"
I glance at my wrist watch to check on the time kung parating na ba si daddy to pick me up before nodding at him
"Let's go"
"Huh? Hindi ba pwedeng dito na natin pag-usapan?" Nalilitong saad ko sa kanya
"Importante kasi e... Family matters"
Ohhh uutang kaya sya?
I followed him kung saan kami pupunta hanggang sa makapasok kami sa Starbucks
"I know that uhmm nilalagpasan lang kita sa campus"
"Buti alam mo" pagtataray ko
Nakamove-on na ako sa'yo e, bakit nagparamdam ka pa ngayon huh?
"Naging busy ako"
Busy saan? Sa babae nya? Pwe!
"I'm a working student now, A call center agent."
Ay..
"Then?"
"Me and my older síster are working in the same agency to support our family and uhh.. my Nephew"
And Anong kinalaman ko ron? Bakit sineshare nya sa akin ang family background nya huh?
"Uutang ka ba? Just go straight to the point"
Ikaw na yan e, syempre pauutangin kita.
"Hindi ako uutang"
Huminga siya ng malalim bago ini-abot sa akin ang cellphone niya
"What's this?"
"Tignan mo"
Tinignan ko ang nasa picture and it was a picture of a baby boy smiling at the camera
"Is this your Nephew?"
"Yes, he's also your Nephew"
"What?!" Kinunutan ko siya ng noo at agad na nagswipe right sa phone nya
Nanlaki ang eyes ko nang makita ang Picture ni ate Valine na buhat yung baby
"A-ano to?"
"Valine was my older sister, she was pregnant with kuya Kiroshi's child nang umalis kami sa dati naming bahay."
Omg!
"So what's your plan about this?"
"Next week, 7th months old na si Tyler. I'm planning to ask ate Valine na doon namin i-celebrate sa mall ng kapatid ni kuya Kiro"
Tumango-tango ako habang pinakikinggan ang plano niya
"And then?"
"I'm asking for your help na magkita si ate at kuya kiro mo, it was late nang mabalitaan kong hindi natuloy ang kasal ng pinsan mo sa Uk. Akala ko wala ng chance si ate, gustong-gusto kong mabuo yung pamilya nila alang-alang sa pamangkin ko."
He was right, hindi rin ako papayag na walang alam si kuya Kiro na may anak sila ni ate Valine.
"Sasabihin ko kay Ate Nicknick, kami na ang bahala don. Just text me kung nandoon na kayo sa mall and kung nasaan kayo for us to make it look like coincidence lang na magkita sila doon" I smiled
"Thank you! Thank you so much Whendy" he stated then hugged me so tight
With that.. my heart skips a beat.
