Gawd! I'm not makapaniwala pa rin talaga. It's one hundred libong pesos every month times twelve, I will be milyonaryo in a year. Just the thought of it, I'm nalulula na. I'm yayaman na talaga.

I'm hinatid na ni Ice sa bahay. Ice told me na to think about it ng madaming beses. Sa totoo lang, I'm hesistant pa if I'm gonna make payag ba to be his all-around girl. I'm nag-iisip pa. Ice gave me naman until tomorrow to think.

"Ate, ang bait ni Kuya Ice, noh? Kahit hindi pala-ngiti." Nessa said. Ice kasi is nagpatake out kasi ng foods for my kapatid. Knowing her, she's natuwa talaga.

"Siguro, we are not close naman." I just said. What my sinabi to Nessa lang kasi is, Ice gave me trabaho. My kapatid is natuwa pa nga eh.

"Sabi mo, friend mo siya. Hmm... Kayo na ano?" Her ngiti is nanunukso. Me and Ice, friends? Hindi kaya. He is not a friend material kaya.

"No kaya."

"Eh ano mo siya?" I don't want to make sabi nga kay Nessa who Ice ba. Tsk!

"Don't make tanong na lang."

"Hmm... Siguro..." Nessa is makulit talaga.

"Don't be makulit na nga."

"Oo na, tara na! Papalitan na natin yung cheke at mag-eyes cream tayo." My kapatid ngiti is lumapad. I'm naexcite na din sa ice cream.

We are pumunta na nga to the bank to make papalit the cheque, buti it's not tumalbog. We went naman to seven eleven to buy a coffee crumble Ice Cream and Nova.

I'm pumila na sa counter and Nessa is kumukuha pa ng Nova, when suddenly a batang babae is hinila ang laylayan of my skirt.

"Can you give me a penny?" I'm napatitig lang sa bata. Her eyes is maganda and she is cute talaga.

"Chenie, come here. Sorry, Miss." There is biglang nagsalita then I'm napalingon. And I'm nag-freeze bigla from kinatatayuan.

"Daddy, I want dark chocolates, please."

I'm napalunok and my paghinga is nanikip suddenly. Heavens!

"Not too much sweet, honey."

How dare ...

"Uyy! Ate! Ikaw na magbabayad. Kuya, sama 'to." I'm nakagalaw lang when Nessa is nagsalita because she makes hawak to my braso. I gave na lang the one libong pesos to the cashier. My isip is nasa kalawakan parin at the moment until we are nakauwi home.

"Ate, parang maiiyak ka." Nessa make pansin me. "Hoy, ate! May sariling Earth ka nanaman diyan. Akina nga yung pambayad natin ng renta, mabuti at andiyan si Aling Petra ng maisampal sa mukha niya yang sinisingil niyang two five."

I'm wala sa sarili na inabot ang money to my kapatid then she's umalis na.

"How dare you!!!!!!!!!" I'm sumigaw ng wala na si Nessa.

"Ate???!! Anyare??" I'm nagulat kay Nessa, she's mabilis na nakabalik kasi.

"Wala. I'm nag-aacting lang. You know I want to be artista kaya." I smiled to my kapatid and wiped the luha na nag-drop to my pisngi.

"Mas bagay kang Sisa, ate. Tapos yung line mo, "Basilio, Crispin, where art thou mga anak? ChaCha here, your mother hen. Textback ASAP." Nessa is sira, I'm natawa naman. And we are natawa.

We are nagsimula ng kumain ng Ice Cream. We are nag-eenjoy talaga pag we are kumakain neto. Since we were bata pa, it's our favorite na bonding. We make sawsaw the Nova chips to medyo tunaw na ice cream and make usap about things, sisters' talk.
