Maaga pang pero nag riring na ang cell phone ni Penelope. Si Pranco.

“Babe.” Inaantok na sagot niya.

“I just missed you, Babe.”

“I know. Whatz up!” She didn’t bother opening her eyes again.

“A grenade was left on our gate.” HE said calmly.

“What!” Nawala yata ang antok niya. “How’s Mom and Dad?”

“Don’t worry, Babe, they are fine. Wala sila sa bahay kagabi. Sina Yaya lang ang nandun.  I just called because I want you to be extra careful ha, I know you and Kenan don’t really like each other, but Babe, please do listen to him. He’s a good friend of mine and I trust him as much as I trust you, so don’t be a brat, okay.”

 “Pranco! I hate him, he makes a lot of utos like he wanted me to do the household chores, he wants me to cook, as in! And he wants me to..ah, never mind!” Sasabihin niya sanang paglalabahin siya.

“Easy! Talagang yun ang plano, Babe. Hindi kasi tayo pwdeng kumuha ng kung sinong makakasama ninyo jan. Alam mo naman ding hindi nating pwdeng dalhin si Yaya kasi siya lang inaasahan nina Mom. Mabuti na rin yan, Babe, para pag –uwi mo, pwde ka nang mag-asawa.”

“You’re so asar rin! Sige, always give me an update Pranco ha, and take care, take care of Mom and Dad too. Love you.” Then she slept again after the call. Super late na siyang nagising at nung lumabas siya ng kuwarto ay isang Kenan na ubod ng yummy ang nakita niya. May hawag itong walis at lampaso. Obviously, naglilinis na ng bahay.

“Good morning!” Wala itong pang itaas. Bakit ganun ang katawan nito.Hindi niya akalaing ang yummy pala ni Kenan pag walang damit pang – itaas. Isama na kaya ang pang-ibaba?

“Morning!”

“May pagkain na sa mesa.” Sabi nito bago ipinagpatuloy ang paglilinis. Hindi siya umimik, hinihintay niya lang  na utusan siya ni Kenan, pero wala naman, nung tignan niya kung ano ang nakahain sa mesa bigla siyang ginutom, bacon, fried rice, egg, and what’s this fish that doesn’t look fresh? Kinuha niya yun at hinawakan ang buntot, yung dulong-dulo.

“They call that one tamban,a sardinella in English, ginawa nilang bulad rito,  a kind of dried fish.” Biglang may nagsalita sa likod niya, sa sobrang gulat ay nabitiwan niya ang what’s-that-fish?

“Why are you nanggugulat ba ha!” Nakasuot na ito ng pang itaas, ay sayang naman. Sana forever na lang nakahubad.

Hindi ito nagsalita, ayan na naman ang deadma mode niya. Umupo lang ito at nagsimulang kumuha ng kanin at ulam. Di pa pala ito kumakain, meaning, inaantay siyang magising? Ay sweet!

“Hindi ka pa nag eat?”

“Obvious ba, kung kumain na ako, e wala ka na sanang kasabay ngayon.” Pagsusuplado nito.

Ganun ito kabilis mag change ng mood? Bipolar lang. “I made tanong lang naman, it’s masama ba ha. Why are you so suplado ba?”

“At ikaw, bakit ba ganyan ka magsalita?” Penelope was just observing how Kenan is eating that cute dried fish, mukha kasing masarap tignan, ang bango pa.
