Circle of Life

38.

The following days it was just Greggy, Irene and zoey that stayed in their house at Forbes, si Alfonso ay Kasama ang kanyang mag-ina meanwhile Luis was staying at his condo. It was a slow morning for the three at Hindi na nila namalayan ang oras.

11am ng mapagsiyahan ng tatlo na lumabas nalang at mag-mall, dahil si Irene ay lalabas at a-attend ng katutubo event habang si zoey at greggy ay wala namang agenda at paniguradong mabubugnot lang Sila sa loob ng Bahay.

"Sigurado ka ba gusto mong sumama hon?", Nagtatakang tanong ni Irene kay Greggy dahil ito ang pinakaunang beses na sasama si greggy sakanya sa katutubo.

"Oo naman", masiglang sagot ni greggy na siyang laking gulat at pagtataka ni Irene.

"Bakit po?", Sulpot naman na tanong ni zoey na kasalukuyang nakaupo sa passenger seat while greggy was the one driving at si si Irene naman ay nasa shot-gun seat.

Zoey is trying to open and to get to know them already na siyang nagugustuhan naman Ng mag-asawa dahil pa-unti unti na 'tong sumusubok at nagtatanong Ng kung ano-ano sakanila.

"Nagtataka ang mama mo kase ito ang unang beses na sasama ako sakanya sa katutubo", sagot ni greggy habang tumingin sa likod sakto rin dahil naka-red light Ngayon kaya nakatigil ang sasakyan.

"Paano naman kase pag niyaya ko laging tumatanggi", sambit ni Irene na parang animou nagtatampo.

Natawa naman si greggy at pati si Zoey dahil sa inasta ni Irene, "Oh okay", tanging tugon nalang ni zoey at umayos na ng upo.

"Mana sayo", pabulong na sabi ni Irene habang tinignan si zoey na siyang bahagyang nagpatawa naman kay greggy.

"Well, I take that as a compliment hon. Madaya na na eh kamukha mo masiyado", sagot nalang ni greggy.

Nagpatuloy lang sila sa byahe hanggang sa makarating sila ng BGC. As soon as they arrive nag-usap Muna Sila kung saan Sila kakain, "Where do you want to eat anak?", Tanong ni greggy.

"Don't have anything in mind po e", sagot ni Zoey as she's not really familiar with all the restaurants around and beside kahit saan okay lang naman sakanya since Hindi Siya mapili Ng pagkain.

"How about sa Burnt Bean nalang tayo?", Irene suggested which the two nodded nalang since Wala naman talaga silang idea kung saan kakain.

They all headed thier way and was assisted to find a comfortable table to sat down, they were given the menu.

"One order of 48-hour beef ribs and a lemonade, please", greggy ordered.

"One truffle prosciutto and a lemonade also", irene ordered. "Do you want some cheesy lasagna anak?", She added which zoey nodded. "And one cheesy lasagna please", Irene added to her order.

"One order of potato pave and a lemonade also", zoey ordered and gave back the menu.

"Is that all Ma'ams/sir?", The staff ask.

"Don't have any order na anak?", Irene asked and looked at her daughter.

"I'm good with it na po", sagot naman nito at ngumiti.

"Okay. That's all, thank you", irene said which the staff nodded and pinned the order.

"Sunod nalang po ako mamaya sainyo sa katutubo, I just have something to buy lang po", zoey spoke to break the silence dahil parang nagpapakiramdaman sila kung sino ang unang magsasalita.

"Where are you going anak? Samahan ka na namin", sabi naman ni Irene at ngumiti.

Irene just doesn't want Zoey to stroll around alone given the fact that there had been an accident the last time she went out all by herself, she's worried it might happen again and Zoey does understand it.
