How Would You Feel

"Yvs, may pasok ka?" Tres asked.

"Meron. Why?" Yvonne answered.

"Papasama sana ako sa mall eh. Bili ako ng gift for Lexi's baby." Sabi ni Tres.

Yvonne choked on her coffee, "For who?!" She asked.

Tres chuckled, "Puro kayo OA." He said. "For Lexi's baby. Kinuha niya akong ninong."

"Ninong ka ng anak nila nung pangit na ipinalit niya sayo?!" Tanong ulit ni Yvonne.

"Sino na namang kumuha sayong ninong? Dami mo ng inaanak, ah." Lomy said habang pababa ng hagdan, kasunod si Lody.

"Lola, you wouldn't believe.." Yvonne said while shaking her head.

"OA." Tres said. Kiniss at niyakap muna nila ni Yvonne ang lolo at lola nila saka naupo ulit sa dining. "Kinuha akong ninong ni Lexi sa anak niya, My."

"What?" Tanong ni Lomy.

"Same, lola, same." Yvonne said.

"Lexi, your ex?" Lody asked.

"Yup. Nagpunta siya sa condo, mga two weeks ago na din to tell it to me." Tres answered with a smile.

"And you agreed?" Takang tanong ng lola niya.

"Yeah? I mean, why not? The kid shouldn't be involved in our past. Tsaka, past na nga eh. Tagal-tagal na rin nun. We're cool." Tres answered.

"Wow, we're cool. After mo mag-grieve for ilang months, years pa nga ata dahil sa pagchi-cheat niya sayo, sasabihin mo ngayon na you're cool? Ayos ka, ah." Yvonne said.

"Sorry na, ate, okay?" Tres said and chuckled. "Can you just let me do this? Baka last na eh." He said and his lola and Yvonne glared at him. "Joke lang. Hahaha. I understand where you guys are coming from naman. Kahit sila Rome, ganyan din reaction eh. Pero, it's been years." He said and shrugged. "People change, and so does their feelings." He added and smiled, 'cause he remembered Dev.

"Oo nga. Hayaan niyo na 'to. Matanda na yan. Bahala siya sa buhay niya." Lody said and tapped his shoulder. "If it's okay to him, then it should be okay to us. Besides, he doesn't look like he has any intentions of getting back with her naman. Right, Tres?"

"No way, Dy. No way." Tres said while shaking his head. "Di naman ako maninira ng pamilya." He chuckled.

"Ay, ewan ko sayo. Hindi kita sasamahan bumili ng regalo niyang inaanak mong yan! Bahala ka!" Yvonne said and rolled her eyes as she started eating her breakfast.

"Edi, don't!" Tres said and laughed.

"Are you sure with this, Tres?" Lomy asked.

"Yes, My. Sure na sure. Lexi said sorry na rin naman. Yun lang naman siguro yung kailangan at gusto ko rin for me to like, officially forgive her. I've moved on and it's just nothing to me." Tres answered. "Baka nga kunin ko din siyang ninang ni Kobe eh."

"Hindi ako a-aattend ng binyag pag andun siya!" Yvonne said.

"Edi, don't ulit!" Sabi ni Tres at natawa ulit siya.

"Nakakainis ka, kuyaaa!" Yvonne said na parang nagta-tantrums.

"Bakit ba?" Tres chuckled. "OA mo. Hindi naman ibig-sabihin nun eh magiging close na ulit kami, no. I'll just be there if she and Joaqui needs me regarding their baby. Chill, okay?"

"Ay, kumain na nga lang kayo. Yvonne, hayaan mo na yang kuya mo. Again, matanda na yan. Let him, let him." Lody said.

Yvonne and Tres stick their tongues out to each other and they continued eating.
