Just A Dream

Chapter 53: Childproof Explanation

"But how am I suppose to play with my truck?"

"Just let him have it" I butt in

"No! Look at your mess, baby."

"Ate, please?"

"Babe,--"

"I said no, why don't you play with 'pretend' water instead?"

Mosh cried that he wanted real water.

"No!" said his sister firmly. "You can have pretend water or no water at all!" and I was like O.o Huh?!

"Pretend water or no water at all?!" Mosh asked

"I mean, uhm. Ah" she said while scratching her head

"Just play with your truck Mosh. With your pretend water" I said trying to stop myself from laughing and slightly pushed him

"Babe, hahaha. Pretend water or no water at all?! What was that? Hahaha"

"Tumawa ka pa!" then she walked out.

"Babe! Wait!" I saw her at the kitchen preparing our early dinner. "Joke lang po. Ang hirap magexplain sa bata no?"

"Eish!"

"Babe naman eh. Ako na po jan"

"Ako na. Help me prepare the table nalang. Then call Mosh para kumain." she said coldly, ang pikon talaga

"Babe, did you know that as early as 350 BC, Aristotle already stated what happiness is?" tanong ko sa kanya, she just faced me wearing her 'mataray look'.

"It only means, by that early, happiness was invented, I mean, given it's meaning. How come you don't know it? Wala ba nun sa lugar niyo?"

"Funny. Put the plates on the table, kakain na tayo" then went back to cooking.

"Babe naman, binibiro lang kita. Smile na po, mahal ko." bulong ko sakanya habang naka backhug.

"Lakas makalambing. Hmm, sige na. Gutom na po ako" she faced me with a smile on her face and gave me a peck on the lips. "Mahal din kita. Why me, babe?" it made a huge curve on my lips

"Because you are the brightest little firefly in my jar."

"Ate Den--, oh I'm sorry! I'll be back later." sigaw ni Mosh and ran back to the sala

Natawa naman kami parehas sa reaction niya. Nakita niya kasi kaming magkayakap ni Missy and we're about to kiss again. Hahaha

"Mosh, come back here. Let's eat!" tawag sa kanya ni Missy.

Mosh: Please tell me you're done with what you two were doing. *sabi niya while covering his eyes

Ako: Babe, naculture shock ata si Mosh sa nakita niya. Haha

Den: Haha. Stop it Mosh. Let's eat na.

Mosh: You didn't answer me.

Ako: But you're not even asking.

Mosh: I did.

Den: We're not doing anything Mosh. You can remove your hands away from your eyes now.

Mosh: Why are you that sweet to each other? I even saw you two kiss before.

Nagulat naman kami sa sinabi niya. Kelan?! Naku!

Ako: What?! When?!

Mosh: Last Christmas and even New Year's eve, at the garden. You stole a kiss from my ate Den, ate Aly! Haha

Kinurot naman ako ni Missy sa hita. Then whispered,

"Ikaw kasi e!"

"Bakit ako?!"

"Di ka kasi muna tumitingin sa paligid bago ka magnakaw ng halik"

"As if ayaw mo. Haha"

Mosh: Stop whispering, I can still hear you. But not to worry, I don't understand any of 'em. Haha

Ako: Uhm, Mosh?

Mosh: Yes ate?

Den: What are you doing back there?

Mosh: Oh that! Mom told me to look for you, then I saw you. But ate Den, why are you doing that? I mean, what you did was what couples usually do right? I saw Mom and Dad do it. And even Yaya and our Driver.

Nanlaki naman yung mata ni Missy. Hahaha! Sila Yaya?! Hahahaha

Den: Uhm Mosh,--

Ako: Because we are. You're too young to know things like this. Well, someday you'll know why.

Mosh: You're a couple?! But you're both girls, right?

Den: Mosh, you're not allowed to ask things like this.

Ako: We'll explain it to you when you grow up. But for now, finish your food and we'll clean up your mess at the sala. Okay?

Mosh: Okay.

After our dinner, nilinis na namin yung sala. Tapos naghalf bath na si Mosh before going to bed. Maaga pala siyang pinapatulog, 8pm palang pero tulog na agad siya. He'll sleep daw sa tabi ko since hindi pinayagan si Missy to stay here overnight. May morning jog kasi sila.

Hay! Kids' curiosity will definitely kill someone else's brain cells. Hahaha
