"Mommy!"
Agad na naputol ang tinginan namin ni Light nang tawagin ako ni Seve na tumatakbo papunta sa dereksyon namin. I looked at Light and gulped, his stares flew to my son, mabilis akong napalunok nang namataan ko rin si Saidee na nakapamulsa at naglalakad sa likod ng anak ko.
"S-Seve.. " Salubong ko sa kaniya.
"Look! Can I get this?" Winagayway niya ang isang box na naman ng cereal na may numbers.
"Yes you can get that, I'll pay naman," siguradong saad ni Saidee. Tinignan ko siya nang masama at nagkibit-balikat lang siya. "Put that in the cart na, Sev," kunsinti niya.
"Really? Mommy?" Wala na akong ibang ginawa kung hindi tumango sa request niya. He snickered and clapped his hand. "Yay!"
"Where's Nanay Tising, anak?" Pag-iiba ko ng usapan.
"Toiletries area, Mommy.. What took you long? I thought you'll only buy milk?" He pursed his lips and roamed his gape. Mabilis kumunot ang noo niya nang magtama ang tingin nila ng lalaking kausap ko kanina. His eyes quickly widened. "Director, Light, Mommy!" He pointed out in full surprise.
"Y-Yes, baby, director.. " Hinawakan ko ang buhok niya pero mabilis din 'yong dumaplis sa kamay ko dahil dali-dali siyang pumunta sa harap ni Lucius.
"Hello!" He exclaimed. Tinignan ko si Saidee na parang natulala rin sa nakikita niya.
"Hi.. " The director murmured, he bent a bit to my boy's level and gave him a small smile. My lips quivered, para akong pinaglalaruan ng tadhana. It's like I'm being punished to see this view.
Totoo ngang kung kelan ka takbo nang takbo.. Roon ka pa madadapa.. When you thought you're succeeding the most is also when the universe will make you feel the exact opposite.
"Thank you for your gifts! My Mommy said you gave it to me! Wow! I can't believe I'm meeting you again! You were amazing! You're really kind po!"
"Seve," tawag ni Saidee sa kaniya.
"Have you watched it?" Parang walang pakialam si Light na tinawag ng piloto si Seve. My son shook his head, still engaging in their conversation. "Why?" Natatawa niyang tanong.
"My Mommy just bought a CD player the other day! And I have school! So I can't watch TV for the mean time!"
"Seve!" Tawag ulit ni Saidee, but my son was to no avail, he's too preoccupied with their conversation.
"Wow.. So you go to school now.. "
"Yes!" Tumango nang tumango si Seve habang titig na titig pa rin sa mga mata ni Lucius. "Your eyes are very pretty," puna niya, bahagyang naka-awang ang mga labi.
"So are yours," bulong niya pabalik. "Our eyes looks the same.. Don't you think?"
