My Sunshine

CHAPTER 38

"Merry christmas everyone!" I greeted everyone as soon as I went down.

Nasa kwarto ako kanina eh, umidlip lang ako at sakto namang paggising ko ay alas dose na.

It's been a long time since I get this excited kapag pasko na. Nandito kami sa bahay ni Tita Emi and Mom and Dad are here, kasama si Kuya. Ngayon masasabi ko talaga na masaya ako. Kuya and I had a talk after I arrived here, pero hindi ko alam kung dapat ba akong matuwa o maawa kay Kuya dahil kanina ay hinayaan ko lang siya na magkwento tungkol sakanila ni Jewel. Parang nagkakalabuan na sila...

And I don't want to ruin the mood so I cheered him up. At biniro ko pa man din siya na iinom nalang namin 'yon pero sinamaan niya lang ako ng tingin and he threatened me na isusumbong ako kay Dad, I was just joking though. Pero okay kami ngayon.

"Anak!" Mom called me kaya napatingin ako sakaniya. Sa pagkain na kasi ako nakatingin eh. "Come here. Pipicturan ko kayo ng Kuya mo."

I just smiled and nodded.

There are arrangements here in the dining area, plus the decorations. There's a christmas tree beside the dining table at doon kami ni Kuya pinicturan ni Mommy. And ofcourse, we had our family picture. At saktong pagkatapos non ay tumunog ang phone ko na hawak ko. Nakikipag-videocall si Stell kaya agad ko 'yong sinagot.

"Hi mahal! Merry christmas!"

"Merry christmas!" I greeted him too. This is my first christmas with him in my life and I'm looking forward for more soon.

"Balot na balot ah." panunukso niya sakin nang mapansin ang damit na suot ko.

I glared at him, kung di lang naman sakaniya di ako magsusuot ng turtle neck. He put marks on my collarbone and in my neck kaya turtle neck nalang ang sinuot ko para hindi makita ng mga kasama ko ngayon.

"Just shut up." I said as I rolled my eyes at him.

I've decided na ipakita sakaniya yung mga handa namin dito. "Kaming tatlo nila Mommy at Tita nagprepare niyan." I said, proud.

"Talaga? Sa susunod na mga taon tayo nang dalawa, kapag nagsstay na tayo sa iisang condo or bahay." he said and winked.

I didn't hide my smile anymore. He's looking forward too.

"Is that Stell?" Mom asked me.

"Yes Mom." I said.

Mom sat beside me at nagpakita sa camera.

"Hi Stell, merry christmas to you and your family."

Kusa nalang akong napangiti dahil doon.

"Merry christmas din po sainyo Tita!"

Stell and Mom had a talk for a second, nagkamustahan lang. Infairness, kung mag-usap sila parang ang tagal nang magkakilala.

"Wait lang mahal, usap nalang tayo mamaya. Ang ingay ni Ria eh." Stell suddenly said after we talked for a few minutes.

Narinig ko nga rin na nagsasalita si Ria, medyo malakas yung boses eh.

"Okay. Just greet them a merry christmas for me!" I said.

"Hmm, I love you."

My cheeks heated, I know I'm blushing.

"Love you too."

I immediately ended the call after I said those words.

Alam ko narinig pa 'yon nila Kuya at Mommy kaya medyo nahiya ako.

Inaya ako ni Kuya na kumain kaya kumain nalang din ako. I only ate carbonara tapos yung cake, ako pala yung nagbake kanina ng cake.

I want to see Stell. Mamaya kapag hindi siya busy, maybe I can ask him to come here.
