Chapter 7: Envied
The Thursday breeze of wind has welcomed Gideon's skin while currently having an eye-to-eye competition with Shyenaugh, as he mimic how she pouted while still trying to win over her.
Pinaningkitan lamang niya ito ng tingin dahil alam niyang mas malakas ang competing spirit ng bata.
Shyenaugh loves to mimic her Daddies' gestures and words that's why he just looked at her for almost a minute before he gave up.
May pinagtalunan kasi ang dalawa, and unfortunately, hindi siya nanalo kay Shyenaugh.
"A'right," aniya at huminga na lamang nang malalim, hudyat ng pagsuko.
He wants her to watch cocomelon or any children's videos suited for her age, but she wants to watch a documentary film about the World War 2.
Nakita kasi ni Shyenaugh na pasimple itong nanonood ng isang documentary film tungkol sa ikalawang digmaan, noong inabot ito ni Casimir sa kaniyang bahay kagabi, sa kadahilanang isinugod sa ospital ang ina nito.
Kaya walang nagawa si Gideon kun'di manuod niyon kasama ang batang nakangisi habang nakahilig sa lap ng kaniyang Diddi Giddy. Ang kaniyang maliliit na kamay naman ay nakayapos sa bisig ng binata.
The film is a bit brutal and totally not for children, kaya nang inabot sila ng mahigit limang minuto, nag-isip kaagad si Gideon ng puwedeng gawin para mabaling sa ibang bagay ang atensyon ng bata.
"Baby, wanna do assembling again?" Tanong niya nito habang nasa palabas pa rin ang buong atensyon.
"Assewmbling?" She diverted her gaze to him and blinked twice. "The guwns firiwng firiwng, Diddy?" Dagdag niyang tanong habang bahagya nang nakaupo paharap ang Daddy niya.
She even widened her eyes due to excitement and gestured her hands on air.
"Yes, baby. You want that?" He asked once again in a hopeful tone, habang lihim ding hinihiling na sana huwag i-sugggest ng bata na gawin din ang pinagawa nito kay Lennox.
"And weawr Thumbewinaw, Diddy? Gun crowns and fakfak like Diddy Lenny?" She exclaimed and lifted her weight to sit on his lap.
Shyenaugh had been looking at him with a hopeful eyes as if she had been out from her fantasy.
Halos mapasapo naman ng noo si Gideon habang iniisip ang posibleng maging hitsura niya kapag nagsuot siya ng ganoong costume. Kasalanan kasi ito ni Lennox dahil binigyan nito ang bata ng thumbelina costume.
Ang hindi nito alam, it will be Lennox's own trap, and now, soon to be Gideon's.
Kaagad nagpatahi ng katernong costume si Lennox noon at naiiyak na sinuot nang ayaw maligo ni Shyenaugh. Gusto kasi nitong na nakasuot ng ganoon ang binata para mag-grow daw siya like a beautiful flower, gaya ng nakita niya sa isang movie.
Nakita naman iyon ng apat dahil pasimple 'yung na-video-han ni Vaughn nang binisita niya ang dalawa.
Ang kinakatakot lang nila ay baka sila ang sunod na makaranas niyon. They're okay wearing any cartoon costumes. Just don't let them wear costumes with very short leaves-like pencil skirt.
Vaughn jokingly posted it on social media, as well, and it became viral minutes after it was posted.
Due to that, Lennox was traumatized and almost dropped a bomb to Vaughn's mansion.
Huminga lamang nang malalim si Gideon.
"Baby? Can we only do assemble without that costume? I have Dracula outfit her—"
"Thumbewinaw, Diddy! Shyenaugh like Thumbewinaw..." Hindi mapigilang mapapikit ng binata habang iniisip na wala na siyang takas.
At sa pangalawang beses, talo na naman siya.
