BRIANNA
"Galit ba sakin si Breielle?"
"Ahm. No po Tita"
"May nasabi ba siya na nagawa ko?"
"Wala naman po Tita, but she keeps on insisting she doesn't want you to replace our Dada Brei. You wouldn't naman po diba?" Napangiti ako sa ka cutetan ni Brae.
Eversince Cait gave birth to the twins, I'm very fond on them.
I instantly fell inlove with their innocent looks. Tho, I admit they really look alike Ate Brei. Kaya kamukha ko na rin sila.
Marami nga ang nag aakala na anak ko sila. I didn't bother to correct them but Cait is kill joy.
So she is the one correcting them.
Eversince they're still baby, I am fonder to Braelyn. Mas madali kasi siyang kausap at pasunurin. Unlike Breielle na kuhang kuha ang ugali ni Ate Brei.
She's observant too at palaging may tanong sa mga bagay bagay. While Braelyn is still have a kid inside her.
Nauuto paminsan minsan. But Breielle, you can never outsmart the kid. Bata pa lang siya niyan, paano pa paglaki nya?
Hindi ko masasabing malayo sakin si Breielle pero nitong nakaraang buwan, ramdam ko na ang pagiging distant ng bata bagay na pinagtataka ko.
"Your Dada Brei and me are different. I can't replace her as your Dada of course. But can I replace her in your Mom's heart?"
"It's up to Mommy po. If I have to choose another Dada, of course I would choose you Tita Bri" All smiles na sabi niya sabay yakap sa tagiliran ko.
Napangiti ako sa sinabi niya. I hug her too and tickle her sides.
Which she giggles more, Ibang iba sila kapag nasa labas ng bahay. Pero kapag nasa loob at kami lang, the child side of them, especially Brae came out naturally.
Si Breielle lang talaga ang madalas tititigan ka muna. Kahit na limang taon ko ng nakakasama ang mga bata, Breielle still doesn't trust me fully.
Unless it's her Mom who said or told her to do something, doon lang siya susunod o magsasalita ng walang tanong.
"Talaga? Gusto mo lang ata ng maraming toys eh" Tukso ko sakanya.
She smiled widely and hugged me tight. "Can I Tita?" Malakas ko siyang tinawanan at ganun rin siya.
Sa ganoong ayos kami inabutan ni Breielle.
"When will Mom go home?" Tinignan ko siya saka nginitian.
"You need something? Baka gabihin ang Mommy niyo"
"I want to eat na po"
"Come here then. Look for your sister and I'll prepare you dinner" Lumapit lang siya saka tumabi kay Brae.
"What do you want to eat?"
"I want pizza Tita Bri----"
"No! Mom said don't eat junk foods at dinner" Putol ni Breielle sa sinabi ni Brae.
"But----"
"Breielle is right, Brae. That's bad for your health. How about fried chicken?"
"It's fine with me po"
"But Tita Bri, I want pizza" Nakangusong reklamo ni Brae.
"Next time okay? Or maybe tomorrow at snack time. How about that?"
"You'll sleep here po Tita Bri?" Napatingin ako kay Breielle dahil sa tanong niya.
"Yes, why?"
"Wala po" Napailing na lang ako saka pumunta na ng kusina.
