"I can't believe you did that, Celestine" galit na sermon ng mommy niya.
"That guy is a jerk, Mom! How can you tolerate him?" Toni answered back bago bumalik sa paglalaro sa iPad niya.
"You know what, sumosobra ka na!" nanggigigil na sigaw ng mommy niya.
Toni smirked before isuot ang headphones niya.
Nakita naman niyang kinuha ng mommy niya ang phone nito at may tinawagan.
"What are you doing? Calling your boyfriend?" natatawang tanong ni Toni.
"Nope" sagot ng mommy niya at ngumiti sa kanya. "I'm calling your sister"
-
"Ate" nakapout na sabi ni Toni habang kausap ang kapatid sa phone.
"What did you do this time, Celestine? Bakit galit na galit ang mommy?" tanong ng kapatid niya sa kabilang linya.
"I spilled them red wine" mahinang sagot ni Toni.
"Why, Tin? Why did you do that?" seryosong tanong ng ate niya which made Toni very nervous.
"Ate! They're making out in the living room. If I didn't went out, maybe they already did it there. There, Ate as in there in the living room." paliwanag ni Toni na medyo nawala ang kaba. "And for Pete's sake, Ate. I don't want to have another sibling. Mom is already 59. In a year she will be a senior citizen already"
Natawa naman ang ate niya sa kwento ni Toni.
"Why?" nakakunot noong tanong ni Toni.
"Your reasons are funny and cute" sagot ng ate niya habang tumatawa pa rin.
"Are you mad at me?" mahinang tanong ni Toni ng nakapout.
"I'm not" sagot ng ate niya which made Toni smile at bigla pang bumulong. "I might do the same if I was there"
Sasagot pa sana si Toni ng magsalita ang mommy nila. "I want to talk to your sister, Celestine" sabi nito bago kunin ang phone kay Toni.
"Mom" biglang pagseseryoso ng nasa kabilang linya habang pinipigilan ang sarili na tumawa.
"Lea, anak" panimula ng mommy nila. "What punishment should I give Toni this time?"
"Mom, no need to worry. I'll just go there to England and pick her up" sagot ni Lea. "Dito na muna siya mag-stay sa akin sa Manila" nakangiting dagdag pa ni Lea.
Nakahinga naman ng maluwag ang mommy nila dahil sa sinabi ni Lea.
"But, when are you going here?" tanong ng mommy nila habang may pang-asar na ngiti kay Toni.
"If I'll be able to book a ticket by tomorrow. Maybe I'll be there in the evening tomorrow or the day after tomorrow" sagot ni Lea. "Tell Toni about my plan, okay?"
"I will, take care of yourself. Bye. Love you" sabi ng mommy nila.
"You too. Love you too. Bye" sabi naman ni Lea before hanging up.
