THE BAD GIRL

34

Jaydee's POV

Nandito ako sa bahay ni Duke ngayon. I'm just playing with him. He said tita Ming is a bit busy these past few days because of the new investors which is great.

Jaydee: Kumain kana ba, Duke?

Duke: Hmm.. Hindi pa ate.

Jaydee: What do you want? I'll cook for us.

Duke: Really ate??? I want sinigang!!!

Jaydee: Sure! Let's check the fridge.

Bumaba na kami. Kumuha na kami ng ingredients. Duke decided ti help me. I teach him how to cook.

After an hour, we're done na.

Duke: Ate, thank you for teaching me huh.

Jaydee: No worries, Duke. Let's eat na. It's already 8:30.

Duke prepared our plates while I prepared for our food.

We prayed before we eat.

Duke: Oh my... Ang sarap nito ate!

Jaydee: That's my specialty HAHAHA

Duke: Maybe this is one of the reason why ate Frances liked you.

Jaydee: Maybe maybe. I always cooked for her before.

Duke: Yikes! You know what my ate Francis also likes to cook!

Jaydee: Tama ba yung narinig ko? Francis? HAHAHA bulol.

Duke: No, her name is Francis. She's in BeiJing right now.

Jaydee: Wait! What? You have another sister?

Duke: Yes yes.. Wait. We haven't told you yet?

Jaydee: Nooo.. Ikaw lang naman ang palaging kinikwento ni Frances sa akin. Plus I haven't seen her here. Wala naman siya sa family pictures niyo.

Duke: Bihira lang yan umuwi rito sa Pilipinas. Like once a year. She's a hard-working person kasi kaya hindi siya talaga nagtatagal dito.

Jaydee: Oh really? I really think that this family has a lot of hard-working members.

Duke: Yes, we are! HAHAHA

We heard the door opened. We stand up and we look at the door.

Si tita Ming lang pala.

Tita Ming: Jaydee! Nandito ka pala?

Jaydee: Yes po tita! Hehe

Kinuha ko yung mga gamit ni tita.

Jaydee: Tita, kumain kana ba? Sabay kana sa amin ni Duke! Nagluto po ako ng sinigang.

Tita Ming: Wow naman! Sinigang! Tamang-tama, nagugutom na ako!

Jaydee: Tara po!

Umupo na kami sa dining table. Kumuha muna ako ng plato at utensils para kay tita Ming.

Tita Ming: Thank you nak ha!

Ngumiti ako kay Tita Ming.

We just talked about businesses and stuff. Pero wala naman binanggit sa akin si Tita Ming na may isa pa siyang anak. Hmm..

After naming kumain, niligpit na namin ang kalat.

Duke: Thanks for this ate!

Jaydee: No worries Duke!

It's already 9:30 kaya naisipan kong umalis na. Nagpaalam na ako kay tits Ming at Duke na aalis na ako.

Pumasok na ako sa kotse. Habang nasa byahe ako, nagpatugtog ako ng music 🎶.
