Yes, I know Rocco's not a bear. But to me, he looks like that cute stuffed toy I always see at the mall.
It reminds me of him, so I would call him 'Rocco Bear' at times.
Whenever I get to visit their condo, I always spend a lot of time playing with Rocco. Minsan, nagtatampo na si Tricia dahil parang mas favorite ko pa daw 'yung dog kaysa sa kanya.
Well sorry, miss ma'am, but I do know you just love Rocco as much as everyone does.
Right now, we're inside a pet store kasi I dragged Tricia all the way here to buy something for her cute litol pug.
"Ikaw ha, andami mo nang binibili para kay Rocco. Mas madami ka pang gifts for him than for me." She jokingly complained.
"I don't know what to give you yet, but I can offer myself anytime. I know you won't say no."
"What if I say no?"
"Okay lang. I'll play with Rocco Bear na lang."
Lumabas lang talaga kami to buy mangoes for Rocco. Saktong nakakita ako ng pet shop on our way home, so I asked Tricia if we could take a look.
Medyo look na may halong bili siguro. Hehe.
"'Di mo man lang ako pipilitin? Grabe na 'yan ah," She pouted.
I laughed and held her hand, "Halika na nga dito, nagtatampo na ang bebe."
We got out of the shop and walked our way back to their condo. Malapit lang naman kasi 'yung pinagbilhan namin ng mangoes, 'di na kailangang lumayo pa.
While walking, we swayed our hands back and forth, as if we were little children walking down the street.
We enjoy little moments like these, the fresh air, birds chirping in the background, and many more on a sunny day.
Pagkarating namin ay kumatok kami sa pinto. Jillian was the one who welcomed us in.
"Hi, Ate Y/N, Ate Trish! Ma, andito na sila ate!" She called Tita Leni.
"Andito na pala kayo. Maupo muna kayo dyan," Tita Leni welcomed and offered us to seat on the couch, taking the bag of mangoes we bought to the kitchen.
"Nasaan si Ate Aiks, Ma?" Tricia asked.
"She went out because she had some errands to run, anak." Tricia nodded.
After a little while, Tricia stood up and told me she'll call Rocco here. Tumango naman ako and waited for them.
Then I saw Jillian approaching me. "Hi, Ate. How are you?"
"Hi, Jill. I'm doing good. Kayo?"
"The usual. Mama became a little busy these past few days, pero it's fine," She replied. "Ay alam mo ba, ate, I saw Ate Trish doing something yesterday," She giggled.
"What is it?"
"Akala ko she was just writing something on paper, pero nung nilapitan ko siya, I saw her doodling something,"
I never saw Tricia draw or doodle anything on paper, so it was exciting to hear what she was doing.
"She was sketching—"
"Hoy, anong pinag-uusapan niyo dyan, ha?" Tricia interrupted. She was carrying Rocco.
"Ikaw." Jill replied.
"Nako, ha. Ano 'yan?"
"Secret."
Natawa na lang ako sa kanilang dalawa.
Maya-maya pa ay tinawag na kami ni Tita, serving the mangoes she washed for Rocco.
Naupo kami sa dining area, watching Tita Leni enjoy feeding Rocco. Jill also took the chance to snap photos and short clips of the moment.
There were some snacks on the table to enjoy, too. As for Tricia, hindi pwedeng mawala 'yung tinapay sa lamesa. We were all spending some quality time together.
I was busy eating snacks habang pinagmamasdan ko si Tita Leni and Rocco when Tricia patted my shoulder.
"Ano 'yung pinag-uusapan niyo kanina ni Jill?"
