EPILOGUE (PART 2)

"Ayan na po lahat?" Nakangiting tanong ni Denise kay Lola nang mahatid na namin 'yung mga pastries.

I came back at Aussie's main branch yesterday to prepare all of these. Going to Aussie means madadaanan ko rin 'yung school ko nung high school. It's really weird that every places in that street reminds me of Gael.

"I'll see you later," I said to Denise before Lola and I left. Mamaya pa naman 'yung surprised halloween party kay Zoe kasi may pasok pa sila.

Hinatid ako ni Lola sa bahay nina Ate at buti na lang ay wala siyang balak na pumasok dahil kailangan na niyang bumalik sa Aussie.

"Don't drink too much later, okay?" Lola told me as she widen her eyes and I just nodded and agreed to everything she says. "Your friends seems to be drinkers... Walang mag-hahatid sa 'yo kung sakali."

I laughed. "Yes, Lola," I said before I waved at her. "Ingat sa pag-drive, Lola!"

Nang makapasok na ako sa bahay ay nakita ko kaagad si Prince na nakikipaglaro kay Pryce. Nilalaro nila 'yung mga binili ko sa kanila tapos ang dungis ni Pryce dahil sa chocolates.

"Ilang chocolates kinain niyo ngayon?" I asked Prince as I wiped the chocolates off Pryce's face with a damp towel.

"Madami..." He replied.

Napangiwi ako nang makita na naka-ilang chocolate bars sila. Kinuha ko 'yung mga wrappers nung chocolates at dalawang beses silang pinainom ng tubig.

"Tita, eat," Pryce said as he points at the jar of almond chocolates on the table. But I didn't gave him one. I just gave him milk and he threw the bottle of milk and started crying because he wants the chocolates.

Wow... He's Kuya's son. Really. No doubt.

And the fact that he doesn't even met his father yet and he acts like him? Wow.

But of course even if he cries like that I didn't gave him one. He already ate a lot and he wants a chocolate with nuts inside it and he only has two teeth. I just played cartoons and everything became quiet.

Bumilis 'yung tibok ng puso ko nang tumawag si Kuya sa akin. Nilingon ko si Pryce na tahimik na nanonood ng TV. Aalis na sana ako pero nakita niya ako at umiyak nanaman siya.

"Oh gosh..." I said and just stayed there and answered Kuya's call. Tahimik na ulit sila.

"Ab," he said from the other line.

"Kuya?" I said and Pryce glanced at me before he watched the cartoon again.

"I'll ask Julian to pick you up after that party," he said. And he sounds like informing me and not asking me. "Okay?"

"Why? I'm with my friends naman."

"Mga lasing na 'yon mamaya, pustahan."

I rolled my eyes. Boomer.

"Fine," sabi ko na lang bago niya pa ako sinabihan ulit na mag-iingat ako bago ko binaba 'yung tawag.

Tumayo ako para sana pumasok sa kwarto nang mapatingin kaagad sa akin si Pryce. Tinaas niya 'yung mga kamay niya na parang gusto niyang magpa-buhat.

"You want upsies?" I chuckled before I carried him. He wrapped his arms around my neck and I can't help but to laugh when I felt that his tummy is really big. Hindi ko naiwasan na pang-gigilan siya. "Uh, you're so cute! Don't be makulit, you're gonna be with me while they're all not around, okay?"

I know he doesn't understand me but he still nodded and said, "Okay."

Pryce slept on my bed while I get ready for the party. I just wore a pair of pants and white shirt. Doon na lang ako sa bar magbibihis.
