Victoria's POV
Nasabi naba namin na malapit ng mawala si Lazaro? Syempre hindi pa, surprise yun eh
Nasan na nga ba ulit tayo? Nasan naba si Rowell? Kanina ko pa sya hinihintay kahit hindi naman dapat. I mean, nasa bahay lang naman kami, bahay nya, ops! Ops! Don't get the wrong idea. We're just hanging out together, with Amy and other people
"Lorna" salamat naman at nandito na sya, "dito muna saglit" galing mag yoga to, pawis na pawis, I wipe his sweat using my panyo
"Napagod ka?" Obvious ba? "Pwede ka naman mag pahinga o gusto mo mas pagudin pa kita?" He gave me this look, and I turned red "Yung mga drinks nasa sasakyan pa, dipa nababa" kaylangan kong umalis dito, "ako na kukuha"
"Ako na" bakit ka kase ganyan ngumiti, "pumasok kana dun, ako na" Rowell!
This gonna be a little celebration for him. Tomorrow is his birthday, and the Santiago request home cook. November 1st we got engaged now we're here to celebrate his birthday. Speaking of birthday, sabay sila ni Tori bukas, hindi naman pwedeng hindi ko pupuntahan yung apo ko nayun
And yes, kami na mag luluto, advance na for tomorrow. Kami nadin mag be bake ng cake, and all, hands-on. Kaya nandito si Amy, buti nalang the best 'to. Isasabay ko nadin cake for Tori
Naka pamalengke na kami, we start cooking nadin agad. Mas madali kung mag o order nalang pero mas gusto ko ng ganito, hindi naman nag no si Rowell kaya pwede na, mamaya ko nadin iisipin kung paano ko hahatiin katawan ko
Naka marinate na yung mga meat and naka chop narin yung mga gulay, mag i start kami mag gisa mamaya
I felt someone arm on my waist, it startled me a bit. "Sorry" uhm, bat ang clingy nito
"Yes po sir? Ano pong kaylangan nyo?" I tease him
"Ikaw po love" he completely wrapped his hand around me and kissed me on the cheek
"Amoy pawis ako" which is true
"I don't care" yung ngiti nito sobra nanaman. I turned around para mayakap ko din sya, ahm, he feels heavenly. I close my eyes, feeling his warmth. "Pagod kana love? Pahinga ka muna"
"No need, nandyan kana" bola
"Gusto mo hingi na tayo ng tulong?" Hindi nga, I shake my head
"Ops! Sorry!" Amy naman eh! Bakit ka pumasok?! Rowell pulled away tuloy, tawang tawa 'to. "Na ready ko na yung ingredients"
"Anong ibe bake mo?" Maiinis to
"Cupcakes" sabi na eh, yung disappoinment sa muka nya oh haha. "Cake"
"Huwag ng cupcakes huh, love?" Nag bibiro lang eh
"Opo"
Ang messy ng icing, or ako lang talaga yung makalat. Nalagay na sa oven yung bread, hihintayin nalang ma bake yun. Ewan dito kay Rowell kanina pa pabalik balik dito sa kitchen. "Yes-" nilagyan nya ko ng icing sa muka. "Rowell!" Hindi ako papa api, hinagisan ko sya ng icing
"Ah ganyan?"
"Ikaw nag simula" he run, ang loko nito! Ano ba!! Hindi ko sya mahabol. "Rowell! Pag hindi ka bumalik dito makikita mo!"
"Bakit?" He shake his hips, "anong gagawin mo?!" I give him death stares, tawang tawa si Amy kaya I divert my attention to her. Edi nilagyan ko din sya ng icing sa muka, a bad idea kase pinag tutulungan na nila ko
"Ano ba!!" Mamamatay kami katatawa, "Rowell!" I cough, I need water, he gave me some, mabilis, para kaming bata
"Okay na, tama na" hindi pa no, dipako tapos. I spoon icing and put everything on his face. Kaylangan kong mag mix ulit, naubos yung ginawa ko eh, kaloka
Almost night na, tapos na din panuorin ni Rowell yung sunset. Amy excuse herself na din, buti nalang close sya sa family Santiago. My phone vibrates, oh it's Tori "lola mommy!" Ang excited nya
"My dearest baby, how are you?"
"Lola mommy, tomorrow po after lunch we're going to throw a party! May games po and clown, and miryenda after!"
"Wow, nakaka excite naman yan baby"
"You'll be here right?"
"Of course, kelan ko ba na miss birthday mo?"
"Daddy said po kase na you're busy. Oh hi! Tito Direk" I look behind me and nandun nga si Rowell, great, good timing, sa ganitong pag kakataon, masarap maging manananggal. "Pupunta po kayo bukas diba tito Direk?"
I think, he doesn't want to promise anything. "Yes" huh? How? "We'll make time, Tori"
"Yehey!! Lola mommy! Ba-bye na po. I love you"
"I love you too" what a day, meron pa bukas, she hang up
"So? Kaya pala tahimik ka?" Masyado bang halata?
"Uhm, sorry?"
"Ano kaba. Ang laking favor na nga yung ginawa mo para sakin, ang dami nyong luto, for sure complete bukas ang Santiago fam" exactly, "basta pupuntahan natin si Tori bukas"
"Kaya ba?"
"Ano bang plano mo?"
"Tomorrow nandun ako"
Rowell's POV
Ang aga kong hinahatid si Victoria, hindi ko pwedeng agawan ng time yung apo nya. Nahihiya ako sa part na I let her do all this things for my birthday
She told me that that's fine, and don't take it a big deal, well, saan ako makakahanap ng taong ganito? Meron paba?
Pag dating namin, she's gonna help pa pala para sa decorations ni Tori. Ang hands-on ng madam nyo, oh ako lang meron nyan
I gave Tori my gift, first gift nya siguro today kaya sobrang excited nya. She's so pretty like her lola mommy, she got her eyes. When kaya magka apo? Kidding aside Victoria told me na she's going to call me kapag papa sundo na sya, yun ay kung babalik pa sya sa bahay
We're in Tori's room. "Happy birthday" she greeted me many times na
"Salamat" I thank her many times na din. "I love you" I gave ker peck
"I love you"
Ang haba ng araw, I received a lot of compliments about sa foods, sayang wala si Victoria. Hindi ata sya darating, tho bumalik ako ng hapon dun para makisaya kay Tori
Hays, nakaka pagod. Na enjoy ko naman yung day dahil nandyan mga kapatid ko. Yun lang nakaka pikon yung part na meron talaga silang nasasabi. It's my life, and I'm willing to protect Victoria at all cost
Someone enter, hindi ko na pinansin. I close my eyes, bukod sa naka inom, pagod din ako. I'm in my room, eyes closed, then I heard the door creaks open, I felt a soft lips on mine, Victoria, I smile agad nung nakita ko sya
"Hinahanap ka ng mga kapatid mo sa baba" paanong may energy pa to? "Pagod kana love?"
"Tara" it feels like lumabas yung restore energy ko
Never talagang nag failed tong taong to para pasayahin ako. The day didn't end like that, before kami bumaba, she gave me a gift, a watch, parang nabanggit ko yung relo sakanya nung isang araw tapos eto na sya, binilhan ako. Hindi ako mag sasawang mag pasalamat na meron akong sya
