Inception: The Sequel

Chapter 19

Tanong ni Edmund. Mukhang hindi ata alam.

"Yes hijo. You should try eating there when you visit the country," si Mom ng ngumiti.

"Mom. We should try visiting the Philippines," Diane convinced her mother.

"I will tell your Dad about that. I wanted to visit there as well! I miss the food we ate years ago Lokia. What was the name again?"

Kumunot noo si tita na para bang inaalala ang huli niyang kinain sa Pilipinas. Narinig ko ang mahinang tawa ni Mom at tumigil ng bahagya sa pagkain.

"Kwek-kwek. You like that food?" Si Mom ng binalingan si Tita.

"Yes! It was the orange ball with an egg inside right?"

I almost laugh at her statement. Well at least she likes the food there. At kwek-kwek pa talaga pumasok sa panlasa niya.

Pagkatapos naming kumain. I felt full kaya agad akong umakyat.

I went back to my room to watch some movie. Hinatid ko rin si Mom sa kanyang kwarto bago ako bumalik sa kwarto.

I decided to watch another episode tonight kaya agad ko rin itong pinagpatuloy. Nakasandal ako sa headboard ng kama habang nanonood.

Ngunit natigil lang ng biglang tumunog ang phone ko para sa isang video call. I automatically smiled as I saw him from the screen.

"Hey," I said.

Nakita ko ang pagngiti niya ng masagot ko ito. He's probably inside his condo. Umaga na sa kanila at mukhang papasok palang siya ng trabaho.

"Sorry. Matutulog ka na?" Aniya siguro ng makita ang unan sa tabi ko.

I shook my head and smiled at him.

"No. I was watching a movie. Aalis ka na?" Sabi ko.

"It's still early baby. I wanted to see you first," aniya.

"Well, you're seeing me now," I bit my lower lip to stop myself from smiling.

"Not enough though. I wanted to hug you"

"You're clingy again Rad. What's up with you." I chuckled.

"Why? Hindi mo ba gusto?"

Nakita ko ang pagkuha niya ng baso bago lumagok dito. It's probably his coffee.

"Gusto kita,"

I tried to stop myself from grinning. Narinig ko rin ang malakas niyang tawa sa kabilang linya kaya hindi ka na rin napigilan ang sarili kundi ang gayahin siya.

"You're teasing me again. You just like the idea of making me crazy for you,"

Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. Aba kasalanan ko pa na nagpapadala siya? He's too sensitive. Kaya ang bilis matukso.

"Yeah. Effective nga diba," sabi ko.

Umiling ako at dumapa sa kama. I tried to fix my hair kaya nilapag ko muna ang phone. He was watching me while doing it. I heard him sighed.

"Malapit na ang anniversary natin," aniya at mapait na ngumiti.

"Yeah. We're that strong huh?" sabi ko.

I don't want to tell him about my plan. Gusto ko kasi na e surprise siya dito. But I have the feeling of he's doing the same thing.

Knowing Rad. Gagawa talaga 'yan ng paraan para mapasaya ako. It's either he'll surprise me a visit. Or I surprise him a visit.

Kaya medyo nahirapan ako. Kasi baka kapag umuwi ako ng Pilipinas ay baka pumunta rin siya dito. It'll complicate more kaya naisipan ko na mag book ng flight before hand. Para maunahan ko siya.
