CHAPTER 18

=== K Y L O ===

Pinuntahan ko si Erwin pagkatapos kong maligo. Nang silipin ko kasi si Patch ay wala ito sa kwarto nito. Baka nag-jogging ulit ito at hindi pa nakakabalik.

"Good morning, Gov."

"Good morning. Nakapag-almusal ka na ba?"

"Katatapos lang, Gov."

"Itatanong ko sana kung nakita mo si Patch? Did she went out?"

"Ah lumabas sila ni Nanay Carm. Sinama niya mamalengke. Nasa kusina sila ngayon."

Kumunot ang noo ko. "Mamalengke? Did she drive?"

Umiling si Erwin na nangingiti pa. "Nag-tricycle po sila."

"Oh..." Tinanguan ko ito. "I'll look for her then."

Wala pa ako sa bungad ng kusina ay narinig ko na si Nanay Carm.

"Those are not circles! And look o, sizes are not the same. How will they cook at the same time?"

"Let me redo it then. Sheesh, chill woman."

"You finish that then you cut the vegetables here. I will cook sinigang later. Kylo's favorite."

"What is sinigang?"

"It's a sour soup with meat and vegetables. The best soup in the world."

"Ah...I want to taste that. I'll finish this then."

Nang sinilip ko ay nakita ko itong nagbibilog ng bilo-bilo. She was concentrated on doing the task given to her.

Naramdaman kong may sumusundot sa tagiliran ko. Nang tignan ko iyon ay si Kiana pala.

Binuhat ko ito. "Good morning, princess."

"Good morning, Kuya." She gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Ready to have breakfast?"

"Why are you here?" Her little eyes were squinting at me.

"Nothing. Just checking on things."

"Checking on your girrrrlfriend?"

I chuckled. "I thought I should always check on her?"

"Yes. Do you like her for real na Kuya?"

"Aren't you too young for this kind of things?"

"I know Disney princesses. They fall in love and live happily ever after. So...do you love her already?"

"I like her. Let's leave it at that."

Kiana shrugged. "Good. I like her for you."

Nang makarating kami sa hapag ay nagkakape na ang mga magulang namin.

"Morning." Bati ko habang umuupo.

"You look happy."

Tinignan ko si Dad. "Shouldn't we be?"

"Is it because you have caught the carnapping gang leader last night?"

I shrugged. "We didn't really mean to catch them. They were tailing us that's why. But yes, one of the reasons to be happy."

"Anything else?" His Mom prompted. "I saw that Selene is out of the country with her cousin. Dallas is a beautiful lady. You should-"

"C'mon Mom. She's a man hater. And she's not my type."
