Hindi ko alintana ang mga mata na napapatingin sa akin. I ignored the stares from the grown ups but I acknowledged the presence of the little humans gaping at me by nodding at them. Huminto lang ako sa paglalakad nang marating ko ang pintuan kung saan may nakapaskil na sign board na may sulat na "Grade 1 - Narra".
"You're attending a PTA meeting not a press-con."
Nilingon ko si Sebastian na siyang nagsalita. He can't see my eyes but I know that he can feel the daggers I'm throwing. Naiiling na kumatok na lang siya sa pintuan.
It didn't took long for the room to open. Halata ang pagkabigla sa babaeng guro nang mabungaran kami pero bago pa siya makapagsalita ay narinig ko na ang pamilyar na boses ng taong pakay ko.
Kaagad sumilay ang ngiti sa mga labi ko nang makita ko si Arctic na bitbit na ang bag na patakbong lumapit sa amin. The impact of his body hitting mine didn't take me by surprise anymore. He always greeted me with the same level of excitement. Isang buwan man kaming hindi nagkita, isang linggo, o isang araw.
"Mimi!"
Just like always, my heart instantly warmed at that. I can't be his Mommy since he already have that. He's the one who came up with "Mimi". I think the first time I heard him call me that, I cried my eyes out to Pierce.
"Are we going out for an ice cream?"
"Nope but you and your Tito Basti can go." Nginisihan ko si Sebastian na naningkit ang mga mata sa pangalan na tanging si Arctic lang ang nakakatawag sa kaniya. "I need to attend the meeting first."
Arctic's face fell. "Can't daddy go with you?"
"May meeting pa rin siya ngayon, baby."
Nilingon ng bata ang teacher bago niya nilagay ang kamay niya sa gilid ng bibig niya para bumulong sa akin. "But Mimi, James mom would be there too. Tapos kaklase na rin namin ang cousin ni James. They're mothers are sisters and Jame's cousin's mom is the president of the PTA and she's a nightmare."
I can't help but notice his words. His vocabulary improved as well as his pronunciation. Minsan hindi ko mapigilan na hanapin iyong bulol niya na pagsasalita. It's reminding me everyday that he's growing up so fast. I met him when he was barely four in Lia's wedding and now he's on elementary already.
"I'll be alright, Arc." Nakangiting ginulo ko ang buhok niya. "Go buy ice cream with your Tito and don't forget to buy a lot dahil pupunta kayo sa Dagger. Give Cookie his ice cream but don't feed the other babies specially IC."
Adalyn Liana or IC as we call her is the new addition to Lucienne and Thorn's family. Kung noong pinagbubuntis ni Lucienne si Cookie na ang totoong pangalan ay Duke Nikolas ay cookies ang kinaadikan niya, noong pinagbubuntis niya naman si Adalyn ay ice cream naman ang lagi niyang kinakain.
