Madison's POV.
"SURPRISE! Did you like it?" masayang pagtatanong ni Russel sa anak niya.
"I LOVE IT, DADDY! Wow!" Mababakas mo sa expresyon ng mukha ni Randall iyong tuwa at gulat sa malaking regalong natanggap niya mula kay Russel.
"B-but I can't drive a camping van, daddy. My short legs won't reach the breaks," nakabusangot na sabi niya noong tumingala siya kay Russel.
Russel took a step towards him and bend his knees over. "Of course, I'll drive, buddy. Pero paglaki mo ay sa'yo na 'yan."
"O-okay," Randall said in a confused look on his face.
"Aren't happy, sweetie?" pagtatanong ko sa kanyang nang lapitan ko na sila.
"I-I'm happy, mommy. But I cannot use it because I am too young to drive. I think it would have been better if it's a toy car than a real car. I just don't know what to feel," he answered calmly.
"Randall, it's a camping van, so..." I paused for a moment, obviously I'm waiting for him to finally get the hint of why we are having a camping van.
"So?" Randall asked back. He was still confused.
"Soooo?" Russel added, giving him a goofy grin on his face.
"So... Oh, goodness! Are we going to go camping?!!" Randall's face was in a great delight after he finally got the hint.
Nagkatitigan kaming dalawa ni Russel matapos niya kaming tanungin. "YES!" We exclaimed in unison.
"OH, YEAH! FINALLY! FINALLY!" Nagtatatalon sa sobrang tuwa iyong junakes namin noong sabihin namin sa kanyang matutupad na iyong camping na matagal na niyang nire-request.
"Can we bring Coco? Please? Please!" pagmamakaawang daing niya sa akin habang nagpapa-cute sa harapan namin ng daddy niya.
"We can't say no to the birthday boy," Russel said softly.
"Fine. We can bring Coco with us." Nang sabihin ko iyon ay napalundag sa akin si Randall sabay yumakap ng mahigpit sa akin.
"I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, MOMMY!" Randall exclaimed.
"Hey! You cannot left me out! I was the one who bought you that van!" Russel said grumpily and then he pouted his lips at his son. Natawa kaming dalawa ni Randall sa nagtatampong expresyon ng kanyang pagmumukha.
"Come here, you big whining baby." I pulled his arms towards us and we all had a group hug.

"Your son is so sweet to donate his money for the animal shelter, misis." Nakangiti sa akin ang isang matandang tagapangalaga ng Paw Pet Shelter.
"Yeah, he is. He organized a fund raising event along with his birthday party last weekend," sabi ko habang hinihimas ko ang magkabilang braso ni Randall na ngayon ay nakatayo sa harap ko.
"Oh, really?" gulat na pagtatanong ng babae tapos ay lumuhod siya upang kausapin iyong ko. "Belated happy birthday, iho."
"Maraming salamat po, hehe!" nahihiyang sagot ng anak ko sabay napakamot sa likod ng ulo niya.
"Would you like me to give you a tour inside our shelter?" mahinahong pagtatanong ng babae sa kanya habang siya ay nakangiti.
"I would love to! But ahm... we are now on our way to go camping. But we'll visit again soon," Randall answered sweetly.
