Josh
"Zamora." I called seriously.
He flinched and dropped the spatula he's using to cook. Unti unti syang lumingon sakin ng may alanganing ngiti.
"A-Ah.. kakabahan na ba 'ko?" Alanganin nyang tanong.
Hindi ako sumagot at nilapag ang report card nya sa mesa. Ngumuso sya at nagpunas sa suot na apron at lumapit sakin. He got his report card and his face immediately crumpled. Ngumiwi sya sakin ng makita ang mga grades nya.
"Explain." I said.
"Well.. you see, haha, Science, ahm.." He stummered.
I sighed and picked his card. "Your grades are good, except to your Science. Really? 4?"
Ngumuso sya. "Malay ko ba sa laman loob natin. Saka sinong gustong magaral tungkol sa mga damo?"
I face palmed and sighed once again. "We should really review again tonight. Finish what you're cooking, magpapalit lang ako."
Pumasok ako ng kwarto at nagpalit ng pambahay. We're still at my condo pero plano naming bumili ng mas malaki o di kaya ay bahay na mismo. After siguro namin sa college ay bibili na kami. Dalawang taon na lang naman at gagraduate na kami.
He persued Business Management. Nalipat na kasi sa kanya ang lahat ng mana nya at kabilang don ay isang maliit na kompanya na sekretong tinayo ng Mama nya kasama ang mga kaibigan nito. After college ay sya na ang maghahandle non.
I, on the other hand persued Engineering at mauuna syang grumaduate sakin. Nagkasundo kami na hati kami sa pagbili ng bago naming unit, o baka ng bagong bahay. We're still planning and we're doing good on working together.
Tumunog ang doorbell pagkalabas ko ng kwarto. Dahil abala sa pagluluto ay ako na ang nagbukas ng pinto. I frowned when I saw no one outside but a little giggles made me look down. I gasped when I saw a little cub--I mean a baby in a basket.
I carried it and went inside. I immediately called Ivan.
"What?!" He spatted.
"I got a cub, wanna see it?" I asked and placed the basket on the table.
"W-Woah! Where did you get that?!" He histerically pointed the baby.
I shrugged. "Someone left it outside the door."
"It's a he?" He checked the baby.
It's wearing a wolf pajama with a hood. May papel na nakaipit sa kamay nya kaya kinuha yun ni Ivan at inabot sakin.
"Aidan Josh Zamora. 2 years old, He, born on April 27." Basa ko sa details nya.
"Hey! Let go!" Ivan hissed at baby who's bitting the hem of his shirt.
My eyes squinted as I watch the both of them. The baby has a black hair, brown eyes and a very cute pointed nose. His eyes.. it resemebles someone's. His little smirks and snorting remind me of someone.
"You little piece of potato pie! Let go!" Stress na singhal ni Ivan dito.
The kid giggled and finally let go. He smirked a little and made a cute little bubble from his saliva. Asar na pinanood si Ivan ang bata. A light bulb popped above my head.
"He looks exactly like you." I pointed out.
"A-Ano?!" Napaatras sya.
Kinuha ko ang bata at kinarga. Ang itim na buhok nya lang ang pinagkaiba nila ni Ivan at talagang magmumuka silang magama. Specially those little smug smirks and annoying giggles, ganyang ganyan si Ivan noon. The appearance we're the same too.
