Chapter 4
"What do you want to eat?"
"I want burger and fries," she answered with a wide smile habang nakayakap sa braso ko na animoy batang mawawala.
"Unhealthy."
"May gulay kaya iyon, saka ano ba tingin mo sa patatas?"
"Pilosopo."
"Minsan lang naman eh. Kaya sige na."
"Fine."
Pumasok na kami sa fast food na iyon at pumila para mag-order. Humanap na rin kami ng table at sa taas nga namin naibigang kumain.
"You know what, I really want to try that."
Itinuro niya ang mascot na pulang bubuyog na sumasayaw ngayon para aliwin ang mga bata.
"Then try it."
"Hehe parang nakakahiya eh."
"May hiya ka pala?"
Mikaella gave me a threatening look. The crew in the counter called our table number. Ako na ang tumayo para kuhain iyon. Her eyes gleamed when I put the tray on our table.
"Ito talaga sumisira sa healthy lifestyle ko. Ang sarap naman kasi. Hindi ko matiis."
"After this daan tayo sa pet shop. I need to buy a new collar for my cat."
"Did she destroy it na naman ba?"
"Yeah. I also need to buy her food and some accessories na rin."
"Tsk. Spoiled cat."
"She's my baby."
"Akala ko ba ako lang baby mo?"
"Ang laki mo namang baby."
"I hate you na kanina mo pa ako binabara."
"Huwag ka sumimangot pumapanget kang lalo."
"What did you say?!"
"Sabi ko maganda ka."
"I know!" She made face, feeling confident.
We bought Claudia's collar, food, and clothes. Our helpers helped us with the stuff we bought when we got home. I headed to my room and took a shower. Si Mikaella, umuwi muna sa kanila para makapagpalit.
My hair was still wet when I walked downstairs. I saw my best friend on our living room, lying on the sofa like she own this house. Tiningala ako nito at ngumiti nang malawak. She sat to give me space. Inabot nito sa akin ang chips na kinakain niya.
"You want some?"
"I don't eat junk food." My brows furrowed when I realized something. "And why are you eating that? That's bad for your health. Did Tito knows about it?"
"Hindi niya alam kaya huwag ka ring maingay."
"I will tell him." Tumayo na ako at akmang lalabas na nang pigilan ako nito.
"Teka lang naman! Walang ganiyanan. Gusto mo bang magalit sa akin si Daddy?"
"Mas okay na sa akin na magalit siya kaysa magkasakit ka."
"Don't tell him please. Minsan lang naman ako kumain ng ganito." Pumulupot ang braso nito sa baywang ko. "Please, Travis..."
"Don't be too hard headed, Mikaella. We're just doing this for you."
"I know, and I appreciate that." She squeezed my hands gently.
"Hindi mo ako madadaan sa gan—"
"Tara turuan mo na akong magluto."
