The Truth Is Not True

Chapter 22 - Mommy

Colet's POV:

We're currently at a restaurant that rarely sees many people passing by. However, I was surprised to see quite a crowd today, and they were all looking at us.

Fortunately, we sat at the farthest corner where we wouldn't be disturbed.

While waiting for our order, the kid beside me suddenly started singing, catching my attention as well as my Boss.

Jasmine: “Daddy finger, daddy finger where are you? Here I am, here I am, how do you do? Mommy finger, Mommy finger where are you? Here I am, here I am, how do you do?” Kanta nito habang tinuturo ang kanyang mga daliri.

This is the first time I've heard her sing the song she's singing now. Usually, I only see her watching it on Sheena's phone.

“Wow! You're a great singer pala eh.”

Jasmine: “Thank you, Mama! This is my new favorite song po.”

“What's the title of that song ba?”

Jasmine: “It's finger family song po, Mama.” She said at kinanta ulit ang finger family song.

As I watch her sing her fave song, napatingin naman ako sa aking harapan. She's watching Jasmine with a smile on her face.

“Hey, Babu. Do you know the song?”

Jhoanna: “Honestly, no. I'm just so fascinated on how she sang with a tiny voice. Lalo na do'n sa part na how do you do” She explained without even looking at me. Babu, look at me naman. Baka sa susunod, hindi ko na isama si Jasmine nyan.

Jhoanna: “She looks cute kaya while singing. Look oh!” Magiliw na sambit nito.

Jasmine: “I can teach you the song po so we can sing together.”

“I disagree. Pass ako, Baby.” But she just smiled to me habang ang kaharap ko ay ang samang makatingin sa akin.

Jhoanna: “Ang sabihin mo, hindi ka lang talaga marunong kumanta.” Aba-aba, lumalaban na. And excuse me?! Ako 'di marunong?!

“Huwag mo akong hamunin, Babu. Baka mahulog ka sa pure voice ko.” I said and winked at her.

Jhoanna: “May boses man o wala, I will never fall for someone like you. At 'wag mo akong makindat-kindatan dyan. Tusukin ko mata mo eh.”

“Pa-hard to get ka na naman. You can't even resist my kiss nga eh.” I confidently said kaya napailing nalang ito.

Sakto naman nang biglang dumating ang mga inorder namin kaya naman inasikaso ko muna si Jasmine habang si Jhoanna ay kumakain na.

“Ingat sa pagkain, baby. Dahan-dahan lang, okay?”

Jasmine: “Yes, Mama. Can I drink milktea po after I eat? Please, Mama.” She pleaded with her hand clasped together.

“Okay, okay. But yung small size cup lang haa?”

Jasmine: “Yehey! I can have Milktea! Thank you, Mama.” She happily said and went close to me sabay hug at kiss nito sa akin. She's really a jolly kid.

When I noticed that she was almost finished with her food, I stood up to buy her some milk tea. Of course, I also bought some for Jho and got coffee for myself.

When I returned to our table, she had already finished her meal and immediately took the milk tea.

Jasmine: "Would you like some? We can share po." She offered it to Jhoanna, who smiled and nodded. Then, she suddenly stood up and moved closer to Jho.
