Two months had past.
Greggy
Irene is in the kitchen, baking some cookies for Sandro. I'm just watching her while smiling.
I then walked towards her and hugged her sideways. "Hi, love.." I greeted, she smiled and kissed my nose.
"Hello, why?" she asked. "Let's go to the mall po, later please?" I asked, she chuckled. "What's the matter, hmm?" she asked.
"Wala naman, I'm just tired from working. I need to regain my energy." I answered.
"Okay after this let's shower together then we will go to the mall." she answered so I kissed her lips.
Sandro have a class today so he's in school right now. Maya-maya ko pa naman siya susunduin so I just relax myself in the sofa.
Habang tumatagal, mas nag-iiba yung pakiramdam ko. I think I need another check-up.
While I am watching golf, Irene sat beside me and wrapped her arms around me. "Finish na, ikaw?" I asked, she shooked her head.
"Bina-bake ko pa, love." she answered, I nodded and kissed her forehead.
I then reached the tissue to wipe her sweat. She looked at me. "Love.." she called me. "Yes?" I asked and hugged her back.
"Are you okay? you look pale po." she uttered, I smiled. "I'm okay, love. Super okay." I answered, she chuckled.
"Sure?" she asked, I nodded. "Let's fetch Sandro together?" I asked, she smiled.
"I'll just finish baking the cookies then we're good to go." she replied, I nodded.
I am just kissing her lips from time to time. "I'll check the cookies lang, love." she said and stood up.
Nakita ko namang pababa si CJ. "Papasok ka?" I asked, he frowned.
"Ay alangan! Hindi pumapasok yung CEO eh, so ending sa COO ang bagsak ng mga trabaho." he rolled his eyes.
I laughed. "I'll double your salary." I uttered. "Aba, Gregorio dapat lang! Ilang araw kanang hindi pumapasok, puro ka landi." he hissed.
Apaka-daming sabi.
"Oh sige na, pumasok kana. Baka malate pa ang COO." I uttered, he glared at me and went out of the house.
Exactly, when Irene went out of the kitchen. "You're done na?" I asked, she nodded.
"Change kana ng clothes mo, anong oras na oh." she said so I walked towards her and kissed her cheeks first before going upstairs.
I just wore a simple shirt and a shorts and after I just get my car key and went downstairs.
"Let's go na, love." I uttered and I placed my hand in her waist.
Then I just opened her door and assisted to get in to the car.
While driving, she's just listening to the music when she saw a fruit vendor in the road.
"Love, I want mangoes." she said and tapped my shoulder. "Nakalagpas na tayo, love." I answered then she pouted and crossed her arms.
I continue driving until we arrived, I looked at Irene who's now tearing up.
"H-hey.." I uttered and lift her face up. "Why?" I asked and kissed her forehead.
"You didn't buy me mangoes!" she hissed and wiped her own tears. "But, love nakalagpas na po kasi tayo. Hindi naman pwedeng mag-u turn doon." I explained.
"But I want mangoes!" she hissed and tears are still scrolling down from her eyes.
"Okay, okay. Bibili po tayo later, hmm?" I asked, she nodded.
"Stay ka nalang here, I'll fetch Sandro lang." I uttered and kissed her forehead.
I then get out of the car and waited in the gate. After couple of minutes, waiting.
I saw him running towards me. I immediately kneeled down and opened my arms.
He immediately hugged me so I caressed his back. "You're full of sweat." I uttered. "We did PE today, tito." he answered.
I then carried him and went back to the car.
"Tata!" he exclaimed when he saw, Irene. "Hi, baby. How's school?" Irene asked and kissed his cheeks.
"I'm tired, tata. We did PE today." he answered. "Tata baked cookies po." Irene said, Sandro's eyes sparked.
"Really?! I'm so excited to go home na po!" he exclaimed, we both chuckled.
Umuwi nalang rin kami at talagang excited na si Sandro.
----
"What do you want for drink, Sands?" Irene asked. "Milk, tata!" he answered, I chuckled as I pinched his cheeks.
"You're so cute, hmm." I uttered. "Ikaw, love?" Irene asked, me.
"Anything, love." I answered, she nodded.
While we're eating, we're just watching a TV. Minecraft ang pinapanood namin dahil kasama namin si Sandro.
After we ate, Sandro said he wanted to ride a go-kart daw so we're here now outside of the house.
Irene
Greggy and Sandro are riding a go-kart outside while me, I am cleaning our mess here nang bumaba si Ate.
"Ano 'yan?" she asked. "Cookies, kumain kana." I told her.
"Sila Bongbong, si mommy?" she asked as she sat down in her chair.
"Sila Kuya, nasa bahay nila. Si Mommy kasama ang mga amiga." I answered, she nodded.
"This is delicious, ha. Your own recipe?" she asked, I nodded.
"Ay nga pala Ate, aalis kami ni Greggy mamaya. Sayo maiiwan si Sandro." I uttered as I am washing the dishes.
"Oh, andyan ba si Sandro?" I asked. "Oo, nasa labas." I replied.
"Nasa labas? sinong kasama, Irene baka masagasaan yun!" she hissed and about to stood up.
"Kasama ni Greggy. Sa tingin mo ba papalabasin ko 'yun ng walang kasama?" I asked.
"Si CJ?" I added. "Pumasok sa trabaho." she answered, I nodded.
Pagtapos ko ay umakyat na rin ako at hinayaan siya doon.
I cleaned my room as it was super messy. And while cleaning, I saw my photo album when I was a kid.
I sit down in the floor and started looking at the album.
"Uyy si Irene, natatawa sa itsura niya nung bata." I then heard a voice, it's Ate.
"Bakit naman ako matatawa, eh ang ganda ganda 'ko." I answered, confident.
"Oh edi ikaw na!" she hissed, I laughed. "Ang kalat naman ng kwarto niyo. May nangyari ba?" she asked and sat beside me.
I then pulled her hair. "Alam mo, nakakainis kana talaga." I hissed, she laughed.
Then I saw a picture of her, na hindi pantay ang buhok.
"Ay wow! simula pala bata ate, mala-Audrey Hepburn na yung buhok mo?" I asked, sinabunutan niya naman ako.
"Aray ha!" I yelped in pain. "Tigilan mo nga ako!" she hissed, I rolled my eyes.
"Pikon rin pala." I whispered. "Labas kana nga! Naglilinis ako e." I hissed.
"Linisin mo na rin kaya yung kwarto ko?" she asked, I glared at her.
"Ano ka, sinusuwerte?" I asked, she rolled her eyes and went out of my room.
"Tita!" narinig ko naman ang boses ni Sandro. "Ate, paliguan mo na 'yan!" I yelled.
Pumasok naman si Greggy sa kuwarto namin. "Si Sandro?" I asked. "Kinuha na ni Imee." he replied.
He then hugged me sideways and kissed my nape. "Anong oras na?" I asked. "2:33pm, love. Alis na tayo?" he asked.
"Hmm, let's shower together." I told him, he smiled and kissed my lips.
"I love you.." I uttered. "I love you more, ganda." he uttered, I chuckled.
Then we both entered the bathroom. "Quickie, love?" he whispered, I chuckled. "I'm on period, love. Sorry." I said, teasingly.
He pouted so I just kissed his lips, pampa-lubag loob.
After we took a bath, dumiretso na kami sa closet. "What do you want to wear, hmm?" I asked and looked at him.
"T-shirt and shorts lang, love." he answered, I nodded.
Nag-trouser and black polo nalang rin ako. Pagtapos ay bumaba na rin kami.
Nadatnan pa namin sila Ate at Sandro na nanonood sa sala.
Sandro ran to me as soon as he saw me. "Where are you going, tata?" he asked and looked at Greggy.
"We're going to the mall po." I answered and leveled him.
"Can I come?" he asked. I caressed his hair. "Papasalubungan ka nalang ni Tata, okay? dito ka nalang, with Tita." I told him.
"But.." he said and bowed his head. "Walang kasama si Tita dito, gusto mo 'yun?" I asked, he shooked his head.
"Ginawa pa akong dahilan, pambihira." I heard Ate whispered.
"So dito ka nalang, okay? with Tita Ime." I uttered and kissed his cheeks.
"Kiss, tata na rin." I told him, he then kissed my cheeks and went to Greggy to kissed his cheeks.
Tumayo na ako. "Ate, alis na kami." I said and made beso with her.
"Mag-ingat kayo ha." she said, I nodded. Lumabas na rin kami at pumunta sa garahe.
"Saang mall tayo?" I asked as soon as he started driving.
"Saan mo ba gusto, love?" he asked. "Sa MOA nalang, love." I answered, he nodded.
He then held my hand and kissed the back of it.
We're just listening to the music until we arrived.
"Ay, love! let's go to SkyRanch, please?" I asked, he chuckled.
"Okay po, dyan muna ba tayo?" he asked. "Later, hindi pa naman yata bukas, love e." I told him.
Bumaba na rin kami at pumasok ng mall. I clung into his arms while walking.
"I want ice cream, love." I whispered. "We will buy, later kain muna tayo." he answered.
"Eh I want ice cream na nga po!" I hissed at bumitaw sa kanya.
Kinuha niya naman ang kamay ko at muling hinawakan. "Okay, okay. Bibili na po tayo ng ice cream mo." I immediately smiled.
Then true to his words, nakabili na kami ng ice cream at pumasok sa Department Store.
"I want to buy clothes, love. Yung ibang clothes ko kasi, medyo masikip na." I told him.
"Of course, we will buy clothes for my wife." he said, I hit his arms.
"Soon palang..." I said, laughing. "Doon na rin papunta 'yun, love." he answered at dumiretso na sa woman section.
Nagtitingin lang ako dito at hindi ko nagugustuhan ang presyo ng ibang natitipuhan kong damit.
"Why aren't you picking anything, love? You just kept looking at it." Greggy uttered.
I looked at him. "Mahal.." I whispered, he laughed.
"Para saan pa't nagkaroon ka nang CEO na fiancee? sige na, just pick anything. Akong magbabayad, love." he uttered.
I shooked my head. "Ayaw, masyadong mahal." I uttered and clung into his arms.
"Love, don't think about the price nga po. It doesn't matter, hmm." he uttered.
Pinagkukuha niya naman, lahat ng hinawakan ko. I hit his arms.
"Ibalik mo yung iba! Isa lang." I told him. "Eh nakalagay na sa cart, love. Bawal na tanggalin." he reasoned out, I rolled my eyes.
Hinayaan ko nalang siya tutal wala naman akong laban.
Ending, parang lahat ng damit sa woman section, nabili na namin.
"Maisusuot ko ba lahat 'yan?" I asked, dahil punong puno na yung cart namin ng mga damit ko lang!
"Maisusuot 'yan, love." he answered, I glared at him.
"Eh ikaw, wala kang bibilhin?" he shooked his head.
"Bakit?" I asked. "I'm okay, let's pay for this na." he said so we went to the counter.
Gusto ko nalang ibalik lahat ng pinagbibili ni Greggy nang makita ko ang presyo. 25k ba naman!
"Greggy, magbawas tayo." I whispered. "No, it's okay." he said and gave to the cashier his card.
"Miss pwede magbawas?" I asked, kinakapalan ko nalang talaga yung mukha ko.
"Yes, of course po, Ma'am. Ano po ba ang ibabawas niyo?" she asked.
"Wala, miss. Okay na 'yan." Greggy uttered, I hit his arms. "No! Magbabawas ako." I uttered.
Feeling naman kasi lahat maisusuot ko! Ending kina Ate at Aimee lang rin mapupunta yung iba dyan.
"Okay na 'yan, love." he told and looked at me. I rolled my eyes. "Bahala ka! Nakakainis kana." I hissed, he laughed.
Binayaran niya na yung 25k tapos lumabas na rin kami.
"You want anything else, love?" he asked. "Wala na! Okay na 'yang 25k na 'yan." I answered.
"Let's go to CLN nalang." he uttered. "Isa, hindi ka ba titigil kaka-gastos?" I asked.
"Ang hirap naman magka-fiancee na Ilocana." I heard him whispered.
"Ano?!" I hissed. "Wala po, eh ano namang gagawin natin dito, love?" he asked.
"I want to try Ice Skating." I uttered. "Marunong ka ba nun, love? baka masaktan ka." he said.
"May guide naman!" I hissed, pumayag na rin naman na siya kaya pumunta na kami doon.
"How much?" I asked. "2-hour pass po is 330, while Afternoon pass is 499." I nodded.
"2-hour pass nalang." I said and get 1000 in my wallet. "Can we also avail polar bear?" Greggy asked.
"100 po isa." he answered. "I'll get two, thank you." Greggy answered.
Pinapasok na rin naman kami at pinagsuot na nung sapatos.
"Love, hawak lang sa polar bear okay?" he asked, I laughed.
"Bakit ba takot na takot ka?" I asked. "Eh nakaka-kaba ka e." he answered, I laughed.
Pagtapak ko ay nadulas na agad ako. "Ouch!" I yelped in pain.
"Sinasabi ko na e. Hold my hand, love." he uttered, he then helped me to stood up.
He's now scolding me. "Nadulas na nga! Pinapagalitan pa." I hissed. "Eh paano kapag nasaktan ka?" he asked.
"I'm okay nga lang kasi." I answered. "Yes, whatever." he answered.
Inikot lang namin yung buong ice ring. Pero nakakainis, kasi ang daming satsat ni Greggy.
After the 2 hours, andami ko nang pasa dahil puro ako nadudulas.
Si Greggy naman ay nakasimangot at parang masama ang loob sakin.
When we went out, I clung into his arms. "Galit ka?" I asked. "Where do you want to eat?" he asked.
"You did not answer my question po." I whispered.
"You also did not answer my question." he uttered, napasimangot naman ako doon.
"Mcdo nalang, love." I uttered, I saw him nodded.
Nagka-pasa lang naman kasi e!
Nang makarating kami sa Mcdo, humanap lang kami ng table.
"What do you want?" he asked. "Chicken with fries tapos Mcflurry, love." I answered.
"Okay." he answered, ngumuso naman ako at nag-aasam na hahalikan ako ngunit bigla nalang umalis at pumila.
Aba! Nakakainis kana ha.
Nagphone nalang ako at kinausap si Small.
To: Smally
Nagtatampo ako kay Greggy, smally.
4:54pm
Sumagot rin naman agad siya.
From: Smally
Oh bakit naman? saan kayo?
4:56pm
To: Smally
Nag-ice skating kasi kami tapos puro ako nadudulas kaya ayun nagka-pasa agad ako. Nagalit ba naman, we're here at MOA.
4:58pm
From: Smally
Eh gaga ka pala. Bakit pa kasi kayo nag-ice skating kung hindi kayo marunong. Suyuin mo 'yan. Goodluck, Irene namin.
5:01pm.
I rolled my eyes as I read her message. Ako pa talaga ang susuyo?
Umupo naman si Greggy sa harap ko. "Why are you rolling your eyes, hmm?" he asked and looked at my eyes.
I looked away. "Wala." I answered, he chuckled.
"Kanina ako lang nagtatampo tapos ngayon parang ako pa ang manunuyo." he uttered.
"Eh ikaw e! Tinanong naman kita kung galit ka, ayaw mo sumagot. Kasalanan ko pa ba 'yun?" I hissed.
He then kissed my lips. "Okay, I'm sorry na. I'm just worried about you po. Look oh, you have so many bruise in your arms na." he said.
"Hindi naman masakit e!" I hissed. "But still.. baka sabihin nila Tita hindi kita inaalagaan." he answered.
Hindi naman na ako sumagot kaya hinawakan niya yung kamay ko at hinalikan ito.
Naghintay na lang kami sa pagkain at biglang may tumawag sa phone ni Greggy.
"It's Pat, love." I nodded. He then answered the phone.
Kahit dito ay rinig ko ang boses ni Pat nang bigla siyang sumigaw sa tawag.
"What's into you, Pat?" Greggy asked. I am just looking at him.
"How'd you knew?" he asked, I frowned. Bakas sa mukha ni Greggy ang kaba.
"Just don't tell her please." he said. "Love, sa labas muna ako." he said and left.
Sinundan ko naman siya ng mata.
Greggy
I'm now having a call from Patricia.
"Eh bakit hindi ka muna kasi umalis, Kuya? sa ibang bansa." she said, I frowned.
"No. I'm not going to leave Irene here." I saidz seriously.
"Iiwan mo rin naman si Ate e lalo na kapag hindi ka pumunta ng ibang bansa." she said.
"Wala ka bang balak sabihin sa kanya?" she asked. "Not now, Patricia. She's happy and i don't want to ruin it." I answered.
"Eh paano? paano 'ko ipapaliwanag kay Ate Irene?" she asked.
"I'll tell her naman, Pat. Just don't be noisy ha. Tayong dalawa lang ang nakakaalam nito." I told her.
"Pumunta kana kasi ng ibang bansa, kuya. May kilala ako doon, matutulungan ka niya." she said.
"Pat, ayoko. I hope you understand." I said and ended the call.
Bumalik naman ako at nandoon na yung pagkain.
"What's the matter?" Irene asked, while we're eating.
"Ah wala naman, love. May sinabi lang si Pat." I answered, she nodded.
While we're eating, she's quiet so i held her hand.
"Do we have a problem, love?" I asked, she looked at me.
"Wala naman. Why?" she asked. "You're quiet e. Where do you want to go next?" I asked.
"Let's buy pasalubong for Sandro." she answered, I smiled and nodded.
After we ate, pumunta na kami sa Toy Kingdom. "Don't buy so many ha? marami pang laruan 'yun." she told me.
"Okay, love." I answered and looked around. Nakita ko naman yung box ng lego.
"Love, let's but Sandro a Lego kaya?" I asked. "Hmm, wala pa siyang Lego." she answered at nagtingin-tingin pa.
Tiningnan ko naman ang presyo. 6,200 pesos. Kinuha ko na rin at inilagay sa cart.
I also get stuffed toys for Simon. "Greggy, may kinuha ka na bang dinosaur?" Irene asked.
"Wala pa, love. I am just about to get." I answered. "I already got. Si Simon, ano kaya magandang ibili doon." she wondered.
"I bought stuffed toys for him, love. Okay na ba 'yun?" I asked, she nodded.
"Ilan?" she asked. "Two?" I asked. "Dagdagan pa natin." she uttered and get another five.
"Ayun oh, love. Yung cocomelon, 'di ka kukuha?" I asked. "Ay oo nga pala." she said at kinuha ang cocomelon na stuffed toys.
"Huwag mong paka-spoiled si Sandro nga!" she hissed as she noticed, I am getting so much toys for him.
Hindi naman namin napansin na napuno na pala namin ang cart.
"Okay na 'yan, love." Irene said, kaya pumunta na kami sa counter.
"Let's share?" Irene asked, I nodded. Para wala nang away at baka magtampo nanaman.
15k naman lahat. Pagtapos ay pumunta kami sa Krispy Kreme to buy Sandro some donuts.
"Sila Ate rin pala, Greggy. Bilhan na rin natin." I nodded.
2 dozen of donuts na 'yung binili ko. After, we just went to the parking to place our stuffs.
"Ang dami mo kasing biniling damit ko, nakakainis ka." she uttered as she looked at our compartment.
"Okay lang 'yan, love. I love spoiling you." I kissed her lips.
"Hmm, nasa parking tayo, oy!" she hissed, I laughed.
We then go to SkyRanch. "I want to ride on Vikings." I uttered. "Ikaw nalang." she answered, I chuckled.
"Why? dapat tayong dalawa, love." I uttered. "Gusto mong patayin kita?" she asked, I laughed.
"Andito naman ako, love." I said. "Kahit na!" she hissed.
But I get the ticket that ride for all, para manghinayang siya kung hindi kami sasakay.
"Let's go to carousel, love." she uttered. I then held her hand and went to Carousel booth.
Pagkapasok namin ay umikot na rin naman. I am just holding her back while she's really enjoying.
"You're so cute, love." I uttered and get my phone to capture her beautiful smile.
When it's done, sa MOA's eye naman kami sumakay. "Love, natatakot ako." she uttered, I smiled.
"No, love. I'm here." I told her and gave her an assuring smile.
She then clung in my arms and we both went inside.
"Do you already experienced to ride on this?" I asked her.
"Sa SkyRanch Pampanga lang." she answered, I nodded. Mabagal naman ang takbo kaya mukhang naeenjoy niya.
"Let's take a picture, love." I told her so she come near me.
We just took many pictures. "Look, love oh." she uttered and pointed the view outside.
"Ang ganda ng view." she uttered, I smiled. "Yup, ang ganda nga ng view, love." I answered and stared at her.
She chuckled and hit my arms. "Nakakainis ka!" she hissed, I chuckled.
"Why?" I asked. "Yung view kasi tinutukoy ko, kung saan ka nakatingin." she hissed.
"Sayo, you're so beautiful naman talaga ah!" I hissed, she laughed.
"Ihuhulog talaga kita." she said. "Huwag naman. Mawawalan ka ng mahal." I said, she laughed.
"Feeling mo!" she hissed, I laughed. Hindi naman namin napansin na tapos na pala.
"Ma'am, Sir okay na po. Yung landian niyo nalang po yata ang hindi tapos." sabi sa amin ng lalaki.
Irene and I looked at each other and chuckled. Lumabas na rin naman kami.
"Saan tayo next?" she asked. "Vikings, love." I answered.
She immediately looked at me. "Eh? papatayin talaga kita!" she hissed, I laughed.
"Eh sayang yung ticket, love. Ride for all 'to." I uttered.
"Alam mo, sinasamantala mo pagiging Ilocana ko." she hissed, I laughed.
"Hindi naman, love. Kunti lang." I answered, she laughed. "Tara na nga!" she hissed.
Sa dulo raw kami para hindi masyadong nakakatakot. Mali pa nga ng naging desisyon.
Nagsimula naman ng gumalaw at humihigpit na ang hawak niya sa akin.
Nang mas lalong lumakas ay napasigaw na siya. "Aahhhh, Gregorio sinasabi ko sayo!" she shouted, I laughed.
"Love naman, naririnig nila yung pangalan ko." I whispered at mas lalo pang lumakas.
"Papatayin talaga kita, Greggy sinasabi ko sayo ahhh!!" she shouted, naiiyak naman ako sa tawa.
Pagkatapos naman ay abot abot na hampas yung nakuha ko galing sa kanya.
"Bwisit ka talaga, Greggy!" she hissed, I laughed. I just kissed her cheeks at pumunta na rin sa parking lot para makauwi.
"Nanuyo yung lalamunan ko 'dun." she said, I laughed. "I'm sorry, I love you." I uttered she glared at me.
While I am driving, nakakita naman ako ng Starbucks na may drive thru kaya pumasok ako doon.
"What are we doing here?" she asked. "I thought nanuyo yung lalamunan mo?" I asked.
"What do you want, love?" I added. "Java Chip, nalang love." she answered, I nodded.
Umorder nalang rin ako ng akin at nagbayad na rin. After we got our order, umuwi na rin talaga kami.
----
Hindi pa man ako nakakapag-park ay nakita ko na agad si Sandro na naghihintay.
"Tingnan mo oh, naghihintay kaagad." Irene uttered, I laughed.
Pagbaba namin ay sumalubong kaagad si Sandro kay Irene.
"Tata, pasalubong ko?" he asked, Irene and I laughed.
"Wait lang po, ibababa muna ni Tito yung mga pinamili namin." Irene said at lumapit na sila Kuya sa amin.
"Sa sala nalang po, ilagay." I told them, they nodded.
Pumasok na rin kami at nakita namin sila Imee at CJ sa sala.
"May bata, naglalandian kayo dyan?" Irene asked, them.
"Ay wow, makapagsalita ha." Imee answered, we laughed.
Tumayo naman si CJ at lumapit sa akin. "Alam ko, p're. Sinabi ni Pat." he whispered.
"Ano?" I asked. "It's not her intention, nadulas lang sa dila niya." he uttered.
"Don't tell anyone, please. Kahit kay Imee." I uttered, he nodded. Papasalamatan ko na sana nang magsalita siya.
"20k muna." he uttered. I looked at him. "Akala ko ba alam mo?" I asked.
"Oo nga! Syempre itatago ko diba? pahingi ako ng 20k." I rolled my eyes and fished out my wallet.
"Business man ka nga." I uttered as I gave him the 20k, he just laughed.
"Napakarami naman ng pinagbibili niyo, Irene!" Imee hissed. "Huwag ako ang sisihin mo, yung isa. Aba walang patumangga." Irene hissed, I laughed.
"Sandro, come here." I called him and I sat down for him to sit in my lap.
I then get the one dozen of donuts. "That's for you ha." he smiled and hugged me.
"Thank you, tito. But no toys?" he asked, we laughed. "Aba, nag-assume pa." Imee uttered.
"Pwede ba 'yun?" Irene asked and leveled him. "Sayo lahat 'yan, except for stuffed toys kay Simon 'yan." Irene told him.
"Jusko! Napakadami niyan, Irene!" we heard Bongbong hissed.
"Minsan lang naman." Irene answered. "Minsan raw. Kayong dalawa talaga oo." Bongbong hissed.
"Ikaw naman, nauuto mo yung Tata't Tito mo." He told, Sandro. He just chuckled and he's busy opening the big box.
"Si Mommy?" Irene asked. "Nasa taas na." Bongbong answered. "Tulog na?" Irene asked.
"Oo, gabi na rin umuwi yun e." Bongbong answered.
Imee
10pm naman na kaya nandito na kami ngayon sa kwarto ko.
"Mahal.." he called me. I looked at him as he's laying in the bed.
"Hug me please?" he plea, I chuckled and climbed in the bed and gave him a tight hug.
"I'm super tired from work." he uttered. "You worked too much e." I answered.
"Eh wala naman pong gagawa ng trabaho ni Greggy kung hindi ko gagawin." he answered.
"I love you." he uttered and kissed my cheeks and forehead. "I love you." I uttered, he smiled.
Then while we're cuddling each other, someone knocked.
Lagi nalang may panira, nakakainis!
Tumayo naman ako para buksan 'yun. Si Sandro pala. "Why?" I asked and leveled him.
"Si Tito CJ po?" he asked, I frowned. "Ako Tita mo dito, tapos si Tito CJ mo hanap mo." I hissed.
"Eh Tita, will you help me to build this?" he asked and showed me the big Lego box.
Bwisit rin naman kasi 'tong Irene at Greggy na 'to! Bibili ng ganun tapos hindi sila yung magbuo.
"Oh sige, pasok!" I hissed, pumasok naman siya.
"Titooo!" his voice echoed the whole room. "Yes why?" napaupo naman si CJ nang makita siya.
"Can you help me to build this, tito?" he asked. "Oh 'wag kang feeling, alam kong nahihilo ka dyan." I hissed, he laughed.
"Where's your Tito Greggy ba?" CJ asked. "He's in their room po." he answered.
Akma namang bubuksan na ni CJ yung box ng pigilin ko sila.
"Doon kayo sa kwarto nila Irene, magkalat. Kakalinis ko lang." I told them.
Tumayo naman na sila. "KJ mo, mahal." I heard CJ whispered kaya binato ko siya ng throw pillow.
"Aray!" he hissed. "Oh oa, unan lang 'yun." I hissed, he didn't answer at lumabas nalang sila ni Sandro.
Pumasok naman ako sa bathroom para maligo. Ang init kaya!
Pagtapos ay dumiretso ako sa vanity table ko to applied night cream at kung ano ano pa.
Then I also went out of the room and went to Irene's room.
Nakita ko naman siyang nakasimangot. "Oh bakit?" I asked. "Etong si Greggy! kakalinis ko lang ng kwarto e!" she hissed, I laughed.
"Ah buti nalang ako, pinalabas ko sila." I uttered.
Nakita ko naman yung dami ng paler bags sa lapag ng closet niya.
"Wow, daming damit." I uttered. "Pumili kana dyan. 'Di ko naman lahat maisusuot 'yan." she uttered.
Kaya dali dali akong tumayo at dumiretso sa closet niya.
While checking the clothes, naririnig ko naman ang ingay ni Irene.
"Ayan kasi, pabili-bili pa kayo ng Lego tapos 'di niyo naman pala alam buoin." I heard Irene hissed..
"Alam ko, love." Greggy uttered. "Nagmagaling ka nanaman dyan. Patulugin kita sa sala e, tingnan natin kung magmagaling ka pang lalaki ka." she hissed.
Lumabas naman ako na tumatawa. "Grabeng highblood naman 'yan!" I exclaimed.
Humiga naman ako sa kama nila habang naghihintay sa kanila na matapos yung Lego na 'yun.
Nakatulog na ako't lahat, hindi pa rin sila tapos.
"Matagal pa ba 'yan?" Irene asked. "Bukas nalang kaya 'yan? inaantok na ako, CJ." I uttered.
"No!" Sandro hissed. Napasapo naman kami ni Irene sa noo.
"Anong oras na ba? it's time for you to sleep." Irene uttered and I looked at the clock.
"Alas-dose na pala." I uttered. "Ay Sandro, matulog na tayo. Halika na." Irene uttered.
Nagpupumiglas naman si Sandro at umiyak. "Ayaw, tata.." he said while sobbing.
"Bukas na ipagpatuloy 'yan, halika na." Irene said. Tinulungan ko naman siya na buhatin si Sandro sa higaan.
Ayoko sanang sumigaw kaso masyado akong sinusubok ng batang ito.
"Ferdinand III, kapag sinabing matulog, matulog na!" I quietly yelled.
He looked at me and his tears are scrolling down at mas lalong lumakas pa.
Siniko naman ako ni Irene. "Eto naman ah, mapagsasabihan naman e." she said.
Kaya kinarga ko si Sandro at hinele. 6 years old na pero hinehele pa rin, hayst.
"Sleep kana. Promise ni Tita, tomorrow gawa na yung lego mo." I told him as I kissed his forehead.
"Promise?" he asked as he wiped his own tears. "Promise, sleep kana." I told him and wiped his remaining tears in his face.
Ibinaba ko naman siya sa kama at tinapik tapik ang tagiliran nito para makatulog na agad ng mahimbing.
Nang makatulog ay tumayo na ako. "Oh kayong dalawa dyan, tapusin niyo 'yan." Irene told them.
"Eh pagod na ako, love." Greggy reasoned out. "Tatapusin niyo 'yan o sapak?" Irene asked.
Nakita ko namang siniko ni CJ si Greggy. "Tatapusin namin." CJ answered.
"Sa kwarto mo na tayo matulog, ate. Hayaan mo sila dyan, yung kalat niyo ligpitin niyo ha. Tapos yung bata, tingnan tingnan niyo at baka mahulog." Irene ordered them.
"Pambihira, oo." we heard them whispered kaya sabay kaming napalingon sa kanila.
"May sinasabi kayo?" I asked. "Wala, mahal. I love you kako, goodnight." CJ said.
"Goodnight." I answered at lumabas na rin.
"Inaantok na ako." I uttered as I lay in my bed. "Eh ano pa ako? siraulo yung Greggy na 'yun, pinasakay ba naman ako sa Vikings." I laughed.
"Saan ba kayo pumunta?" I asked. "Sa MOA." she answered.
"Tapos inis na inis ako, masyadong magastos." I laughed.
"Oh ano namang ginawa mo?" I asked. "Edi wala. Masyado ba namang mapilit e." she hissed.
She continue telling me what happened to them earlier. Ang daming energy ng kapatid ko na 'to, pwera inaantok na raw siya ha?
Hindi ko naman namalayan na nakatulugan ko na pala siya.
