INT. BEDROOM - MORNING

7:19 a.m.

Mikey
Good morning, my little love!
It's me, your dad.


Mikey planted little kisses on top of Robin's stomach. He moved so quietly not to wake her up.


Mikey
Be good inside Mommy's tummy, ha? I'll buy both of your cravings and everything you want basta let's make this comfortable for Mommy, okay?

Do you want pancakes for breakfast today? I only know how to do pancakes using your grandma's recipe. I can make it 'yong fluffy kind but that would require more time. Baka hungry na kayo ni Mommy pagkagising niya.


Mikey closed his eyes for a while, still feeling a little sleepy.


Mikey
I love you. You should listen to my voice para familiar ka na agad, okay? I'm your dad. My name is Mikey and I love you and your mommy so much. I also love great white sharks.

Can I tell you about them?


He smiled.


Mikey
Did you know great white sharks have 300 teeth? And whenever they break or lose one, they would easily grow another teeth back. They are also warm blooded unlike other sharks, allowing them to tolerate colder temperatures.

Oh, tapos they're also older than dinosaurs. They have incredible sense of smell and they also said great white sharks are the largest predatory fish, but they're so cute. I don't get why they're predators, they just have to eat like all of us. We need to eat to survive.

I refuse to believe they're predators, I just think they're misunderstood.


Robin groaned, slowly opening her eyes.



Mikey
Good morning, love.


Robin
Ano sinasabi mo kay baby?



Mikey
I'm telling little love about great white sharks.



Robin
Pating?



He nodded heaving himself so he could give her a morning kiss on the cheek.


Mikey
Yup.
Bangon na ba tayo?
Do you want pancakes for breakfast?


Robin
Tuyo.


Mikey
Hmm?


Robin
Tuyo saka sinangag saka itlog tapos may sawsawan na suka. Tuyong nakababad sa suka.


Mikey
Do we have that?


Robin
Wala.


Mikey
Where can I buy?


Robin
Sa grocery kaso baka 'di pa bukas.
Sa palengke na lang.


Mikey
Palengke?


Robin
Yup.


Mikey
Where's the nearest palengke?


Robin
Isang tricycle lang malapit do'n sa may simbahan.



Mikey
Oh, okay.
I'll go out.
Go back to sleep na muna.


Robin
Sama ako.



Mikey
No na.
I can go there.
Sleep ka na lang ulit.


Robin
Bili mo rin ako ng buko juice.
Gusto ko ng buko juice.


Mikey
Okay.
What else?



She smiled.


Robin
Wala na.
Balik ka agad.


Mikey
Yes, love.
Babalik ako agad.


Robin
Ay, pahabol.



Mikey
Ano 'yon?


Robin
Bili ka rin saging tapos guyabano.


Mikey
Okay.


Robin
'Wag mo kalimutan, ha?
Gusto ko ng saging at guyabano.



Mikey
Yes, I won't.
Don't worry.
Sleep ka na ulit.
