“Nagdradrama. Hoy Alice. Kumain ka na dito!” tawag ko sakanya pero umiling lang siya.
“Don’t wanna!”
“Tch. Arte. Bahala ka, ubusan ka namin ng cookies.” And the next thing we knew, nandun na ang hyper and happy Alice at may hawak nang dalawang cookies. Kakain din pala eh. -_-
Habang kumakain kami, kinwento ni Leona kung ano yung ginagawa ni Winter dito. Marunong nang magtagalog kahit konti yung bata. Kadalasan daw, nagdro-drawing lang ito buong araw. Hindi naman daw masyadong pasaway but he has his tantrums sometimes especially pag hindi nakukuha ang gusto. Mahilig sa sweets especially chocolates. At kapag nakakain siya ng matamis, automatic on na ang hyper mode niya. And tinuruan na rin siya ni Leona na hindi mabulol though hindi talaga maiiwasan yun lalo na't nasa stage siya ng pagsasalita.
“Aww~ I thought I would be the cutest wizard in the world but these kiddo is the one. I so love you like cotton candy, Winter!” nanggigigil na sabi ni Alice. “Ate Alice-chan will give you so many many many chocolates and cotton candies and lollipops and.. and.. everything sweets!”
Tinaas ni Winter yung dalawang cookies na hawak niya. “Yaay~ Yippee~!”
Sige. Magsama silang dalawa. -_-
Maya-maya humarap sakin si Winter, “Mommy where ish Daddy?”
Bigla kong nabuga yung juice na iniinom ko.
Fudge! Fudge! Fudge!
“I smell trouble,” pakantang sabi ni Leona. Nahawa ata ang bakla kay Winter, madalas na kasing nag-eenglish.
“This is so not cute Ate Azure,” segunda naman ni Alice.
What should I do? What to do? What to—
Biglang nagpopped up sa utak ko si Blizzard. Pakiexplain nga kung bakit bigla-bigla na lang sumusulpot yung egghead na yon?
“He’s somewhere,” I told Winter.
“Where?,” pangungulit pa nung bata. Why did I end up in a situation like this? I pity myself.
“Somewhere..” nagpalingon-lingon ako. Saan ba? Saan siya nagpunta?
“Over the rainbow hunting for unicorns.”
“Why dosh he hunt unicornsh?” he asked innocently.
“Because, he needs corns to make clouds that rain popcorns.”
“Really?” Winter’s eyes widen with amazement. “It will rain popcornsh?”
“Err.. Yeah. But it will take a long time to rain popcorns because unicorns are hard to find. That’s why Daddy will be gone for a long time.”
“Aww~” his face saddened. “But I hope Daddy will shoon find unicornsh and come home and we will be happy family again! Yippee!”
“He will come home, don’t worry.” I kissed his head and hugged him. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero nalulungkot ako. Nalulungkot ako para kay Winter kasi hindi niya alam kung nasaan ang tunay niyang mga magulang, kung buhay pa sila o patay na.
That day, I realized I should take responsibility for Winter and be his Mom until he grows up.

Hinayaan ko muna kay Alice si Winter habang nag-uusap kami ni Leona. Naglalaro yung dalawa ng bahay-bahayan. Good tandem tho, isang bata at isang isip-bata.
"Look, Leona. Here's my plan for the try out," I gave her the details.
Simple lang naman ang plano. Kailangan ko lang naman makuha ang 'insignia' o ang tatak para makasali sa grupong lalaban sa Stella Royal Games
