Only Fools: The Final Stretch (Completed)

1

Thirdy was going to attend a meeting sa isang hotel which was supposed to be Jules' project. On his way his phone rang, bigla syang napahinto dahil may batang nakatayo sa harap nya. He immediately got off the car at nilapitan ang bata.

"Okay ka lang ba?" He asked the little girl.

"Yes po." The little girl replied to him.

"Nagdudugo ang daliri mo."

"Hindi po sya blood, this is from the blackberry, ayun po nalaglag."

"Ano ba ginagawa mo dito magisa, muntik na kita masagasaan."

"If you were not looking on your phone po, makikita nyo po ako. Isusumbong kita sa Mommy ko."

"Good idea yan halika at ihahatid kita sa nanay mo."

"My mommy's not home po."

"Eh di sa Daddy mo."

"Nasa malayo po sya."

"Siguro lumayas ka sa inyo?"

"Umalis po ako sa amin to collect blackberries."

"Busy akong tao, okay? Wala akong time sa kalokohan mo kaya sumakay ka sa kotse."

"No po, I won't get in your car, I will get blackberries. Pwede na po kayo umalis kasi kailangan ko na naman kumuha ng blackberries kasi natapon ung kinuha ko kanina."

"Pumasok ka na sa kotse."

"No, I will get blackberries. You either finish what you started or you will not start at all."

"Kung ayaw mo, aalis na ako."

"Bye, bye."

"Maiiwan ka dyan mag isa."

The girl stuck her tongue out at him. Thirdy did the same to her.

Before he knew it, he was leaving instructions over the phone while the little girl was picking up berries.

"Andito na po ako and I now have berries I can take to my Mommy po."

"Late na ako tapos itong bata na ito ung blackberries lang problema, ang saya!" He told himself.

Nangungulit ung bata while inside the car, kung saan saan pinapahid ung kamay nya.

"Aalis na tayo, maglagay ka na ng seatbelt."

Ilang beses nya sinabihan but the little girl was teasing him non stop. Sya na ngalagay ng seatbelt ng bata.

"Ano po name nyo?" 

"Ano?"

"Ano po name nyo?"

"Thirdy Ravena. Ano ba pangalan mo?"

"Amara. Gusto nyo po malaman full name ko?"

Thirdy's phone rang. Nung tapos na sya, umalis na sila bago pa sya tuluyang mastress sa bata.

"Saan ka nakatira, Amara?"

"Wala po tao sa bahay namin."

"Okay, saan nagttrabaho ang Daddy mo?"

"Sa Mars po. He is a real astronaut, for many years po he has been exploring the universe."

"Ano? Impossible sinasabi mo. Pangalan mo Amara, Daddy mo ay astronaut, Mommy mo siguro ay kabayo with wings, tama?"

"My Mommy is a fairy."

Gusto nya masiraan ng ulo sa batang kausap nya.

"Sumama ka sa akin sa hotel."
