"Wow... it really will rain," sabi ni Sam sakin nang tumingala siya at makita ang makulimlim na kalangitan "Kuroe, you should come in once the rain start falling," sabi niya and without even looking at the log, I can see Kuroe's delight, although she was resting on the shade, its still quite boring if she only lie or sit down.
"Tomorrow, I will take you out for a one hour walk," sabi ko and her tail started wagging, wildly, to the point the cobblestone road outside cracked.
"That is minus 10 minutes on the walk, there will only be a 50 minute walk," sabi ko making her tail stop immediate and slowly stared at the broken road, before looking at me with puppy eyes.
"Stop bullying her, don't worry, I will take you out on a walk," sabi ni Sam and Kuroe holwed as if shouting mistress.
<<She really were, shouting mistress,>> sabi ni Al sakin making me smile and started preparing for tonights dinner, a bread based meal which is great with the cream of mushroom soup.
"Did you made more servings?" tanong ni Sam sakin.
"Yeah, I saw a kid roaming the streets earlier, felt pity on her and thought, hey, I should feed her," sabi ko making her smile "there is also because there will be a visitor later, I don't know who it was, but all I know is that she will grant you your wish."
"What wish?" tanong niya.
"Motherhood experience," sabi ko and she quickly smiled, blooming.
"Let's go buy everything we need!" sabi ni Sam.
"No, not right now, by the way, it will be troublesome so we have to 'decline' the offer," sabi ko.
"Why?!" reklamo niya.
"Just leave everything to me, and tomorrow, we will have a child to treat as our own," sabi ko.
"Promise?" tanong niya sakin, pouting.
"Yes, I promise," sagot ko.
"Really?" tanong niya.
"Yes," sagot ko and she smiled at me sweetly, making me want to give her one right now.
"I'm going somewhere, I need to buy some things," sabi ni Sam and quickly left, leaving me in the house, preparing for dinner.
"Akane, follow her," sabi ko and Akane flew off her tree.
A few minutes later, after leaving the meat to marinade, just after I sat on the chair, with a cup of tea in hand, I noticed a little head, peering through the gate.
"You're very early," sabi ko with a smile and beckoned the child, the very same child whom I gave the food earlier, in.
"So, anong pangalan mo?" tanong ko.
"Hindi ko po alam," sagot niya "pero tinatawag po akong liit."
"Hindi mo alam... gusto mo bang bigyan kita?" tanong ko at tumango ang bata.
"Hmm..." ungol ko while thinking of a name, looking around to search for an inspiration until I noticed the chocolate stain on her cheek.
"Cocoa," sabi ko "that is your name from now on, Cocoa," sabi ko and she smiled at me very sweetly, at the same time, I felt a line appeared between the two of us, a line connecting us two.
'Did we just tame her? I didn't activate that,' sabi ko sa isipan.
<<Its the passive tame,>> paliwanag ni Al.
"Come on, let's get you have a bath," sabi ko at saktong dating ni Sam, and seeing the little girl, and hearing what I said, she stared at me with suspicion in her eyes.
