CALL ENDED
"Yaya!"
Pasigaw na tawag ni Hans kay yaya Pearly mula sa living room.
Humahangos na lumapit si yaya Pearly mula sa kitchen...
"Oh bakit?!"
"Where's daddy?"
"Nasa Study nya kadarating lang din nya."
"Okay", tumango-tango si Hans
"Yun lang ba?", tanong ni yaya Pearly
"Uhmmm... Anong ulam? Hehehe"
"Kaw talagang bata ka! Lechon Paksiw, Adobo, Kare-Kare, Kaldereta"
"Uy! Puro paborito ko ha! Sige yaya puntahan ko muna si dad ha?"
"Sige, sige..."
Umakyat na si Hans sa Study ng daddy nya. Pagpasok nya, may kausap sa telepono ang daddy nya. Nang makita ang anak, sinenyasan nya itong umupo. He hangs up the phone.
"So... what happened?"
"Three of our employees had an accident during work. Don't worry, it's all taken care of"
"How are they?"
"They're at the hospital being treated as of the moment. As I've said, it's all taken care of. There's nothing to worry about, nothing at all."
"That's good... I think."
"So how's school?"
"It's okay"
"Okay?"
"Yes"
"What's going on? I can feel there really is something wrong. Is there something you want to tell me?"
"Uhmm..."
"What? Just tell me. Is your allowance enough?"
"Yes daddy. It's more than enough"
"What is it then?"
Silence...
"Dad..."
"Yes?"
"I want to go to Baguio"
"For a vacation? Sure! Why not? When would you like to go? It's almost your semestral break, right?"
"No daddy. Not for a vacation. I want to stay there for some time"
"For how long?! Why do you want to stay in Baguio, anyway? Are you okay?"
"I saw Janna this afternoon when I'm shopping for books. She's with that... Argh! Right now, I don't know if I'm okay and I don't know how long I will need to stay in Baguio."
"Still not over Janna eh? It's been what? More than two years already, sport?"
"Yes"
"Okay. Take all the time that you need, then. So when do you plan to leave?"
"As soon as possible, dad"
"Tomorrow?"
"I certainly hope so... Can I?"
"Sure you can, Sport! Go! Just go."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. I think you need to get away for a while. Take a breather. And I know you too well, sport! If you want something, you go for it. There's no reason of convincing you not to."
"Thanks dad!"
"Are you going to drive or use the private jet?"
"I'm going to ride the bus"
"What! No, No, No! Definitely not!"
"Daddy, I'm gonna be fine."
"But..."
"Dad, let's eat dinner"
____________
Sa Dining room...
"Sport, Mac can drive you to Baguio if you don't want to drive or you can take the jet so you can be there in a short time. Why do you want to take the bus?!"
"I don't know (chuckles) hmmm... I want to try what other people does, I think..."
"But you're not like OTHER people, sport!"
"Just let me try it, daddy, please?"
Napailing na lang si Mr. Nakamoto sa tigas ng ulo ng anak, "Alright. Fine. Just be safe."
"Thank you, daddy! You're the best!"
Hans packed her bags just enough for a week. Sa Baguio na lang sya bibili ng mga damit at iba pang kakailanganin nya.
Kumatok ang daddy nya at pinagbuksan nya ito.
"Are you sure you don't want to take any of your cars with you?"
"Yes dad, I'm sure"
"Well then, take Pearly with you and I won't take no for an answer"
"Okay if you insist (burst out laughing) As if I'm going to leave her here anyways!"
"And take one of the maids too. Or do you need more?"
"Fine. And no. I don't need a bunch of maids. One is enough."
"Okay. That settles it then. I'm going to bed now. I'm gonna miss you, kiddo"
Niyakap si Hans ng daddy nya at ginulo ang buhok ng nag-iisang anak.
"Daddddy!!! I told you never mess the hair!!! Ish!"
"Alright! Alright! Hahaha! Goodnight then, champ"
Lumabas na ng kwarto ni Hans ang kanyang ama.
Lumapit si Hans sa intercom...
"Yaya, mag-impake ka na at ikaw na bahala kung sino sa mga maids ang gusto mong isama. Isa lang ha. Aalis tayo bukas"
"Bakit? San tayo pupunta?"
"Sa Baguio"
