Love, so divine

The surprise

"Gumising ka, Larry!", uncle Rudy shouted. "Hahhh?? Bakit po, uncle? May problema po ba?", I asked. "Wala naman.. Pero.. Sige na! Bumangon ka na at maligo and then magsuot ka ng pang-alis. May pupuntahan tayo.", said uncle Rudy.

Bumangon na ko agad at dumiretso sa CR para maligo. After ko maligo nagbihis agad ako. Sinuot ko yung paborito kong polo na padala pa ng daddy ko, I think 3 or 4 months ago. At si Kevin, ayun.. Ayaw magpa-iwan. Sasama daw siya.

Lumabas na kami ng bahay nila uncle. Uncle Rudy went to his garage to get his car while me and Kevin waited for him at the front of the gate. And ayun, sumakay na rin kami ni Kevin sa kotse ni uncle.

"Uhm uncle, saan po ba tayo pupunta?", tanong ko. "It's a surprise.", sabi ni uncle.

(L.X.P.'s POV)
Hayyyyy.. Surprise?! Tama ba rinig ko? Grabe. Mukhang mahal na mahal ako ni uncle Rudy ah? Ano kayang klaseng surprise ang darating? Dear God, di ko pa po nalalaman ang surprise pero gusto ko na po mag-thank You sa inyo. Napaka-swerte ko sa uncle Rudy ko. Thanks Papa God!

And then after 1 and a half hours, dumating kami sa isang napakagandang lugar. It looks like a cafe. Napakaganda ng pagkakaayos ng lugar. Nung bata ako, I really wanted to have a cafe. Because my dad is a coffee lover, so I wished to have a cafe for him.

"Surprise!", uncle Rudy shouted with a huge smile on his face. "What do you mean, uncle?", I ask. "Uhm, paki-alis na nga yung telang nakatakip sa pangalan ng cafe!", uncle shouted. Then I saw the name of the cafe. "Cafe de Larz?!?", I ask. "Yep! Diba nung bata ka pa, 'Larz' ang nickname mo?! It's almost a year ago nung ipinatayo ko itong cafe. At naisipan ko na sayo ko na lang ipangalan ito 'coz you are my favorite nephew. Do you like it?", uncle explained. "I really like it, uncle! I really do appreciated it. Thanks uncle! You made my dream came true.", I yelled at him with a very joyful expression. "You're welcome, Larz!", my uncle said.

And then we went inside to have some coffee. I ordered a cappuccino frappe because it is my favorite. So the cashier asked my name and I let him wrote my name "Larry" on the disposable cup. "Uhm sir, ikaw po ba ang anak ni Sir Rudy? Yung may-ari po ng cafe?", he asked. "Ah hindi niya ko anak. I'm his nephew.", sabi ko naman. Then biglang nakisingit si uncle sa usapan. "Hey! Mr. Cashier, from now on.. Siya na rin ang may-ari ng cafe na ito. And lahat ng gusto niya, ay susundin nyo na rin okay?", uncle said. "Hah? Uncle?! A-ano pong ibig niyong sabihin?!", I asked. "Kaya nga nakapangalan sayo 'tong cafe eh.", uncle explained.

After that conversation, my order is already prepared and then it was placed on a table near the cashier. May katabi din naman yung coffee na in-order ko and the same cup din. At maya-maya lang may isang babae na lumapit sa table na yun at biglang kinuha yung coffee ko.
