MIKAEL
"Merry Christmas, cous," bati niya sa kausap sa kabilang linya. Isa sa mga pinsan niya ang tinawagan siya para bumati.
Nagtungo ako sa dining area at inayos ang plato ng mga pagkain na kakainin namin mamayang Noche Buena.
At 11:30pm, we sat on the sofa in the living area, listening to music. Kaniya-kaniya kaming bumati sa pamilya at mga kaibigan namin.
"Kain na tayo?" tanong ko sa kaniya. Tumango naman siya at sabay kaming nagpunta sa hapagkainan.
We started eating the foods we cooked. If there's also a thing we shared, it's eating and cooking. Kahit madalas ay diet siya, marami siya kung kumain at masarap siya magluto.
The clock strikes 12, it's already December 25.
"Merry Christmas," sabay na bati namin sa isa't isa. She chuckled and that made me smile.
"I have a gift for you," sabi ko sa kaniya. Kinuha ko sa ilalim ng Christmas tree ang isang paper bag. "Here."
"Thank you," she smiled. I motioned her to open the gift and she nodded. Binuksan niya ang paper bag at kita ko sa mukha niya ang gulat.
"Well..." I scratched the back of my head. "It's nothing special but... Naisip ko lang na yan ang iregalo sa'yo since you love dressing up and you're a model."
"It's beautiful, Mikael," she said while looking at the two dresses I gave her. "Where did you buy this?"
"Ah that... I requested our company for that," I answered. Gulat siyang tumingin sa akin. "So you have your own dress. Yung walang katulad."
"Y-You don't have to do that. Sobra naman 'to..."
