Why does he have to call this early? There's a lot of time in the day and he chooses now as in now, when we're having a good day. What does he want really? I'm focused in cooking eggs when I Kassy called my attention.
Tay, the egg is burning. She said. I didn't notice she's next to me standing in a chair.
Oh sh*t. I said quickly took out the egg from the pan.
Tay, don't say bad words. Kassy said angrily.
I'm sorry. I said scratching my head.
You know how to cook spaghetti sauce but you don't know how to cook egg? She asked me.
Baby, it's not spaghetti sauce, it's caldereta and I know how to cook egg. I told her.
If you know how, why is it burnt? She said pointing on the trash.
I was just out of focus. I said.
Why are you out of focus, Tay? She asked while handing me an egg.
Why did your Daddy Mikee called? I asked instead of answering her question.
He said he'll be visiting me and Nanay here and that he misses me. She said putting salt on the egg.
When? I asked surprised, looking at her.
Focus Tatay, She said pointing at the pan. Saturday. She answered.
Who do you love more, your Daddy or your Tatay? I asked.
I love you both. She replied.
But you love him more? I asked sadly.
Aww, Tay don't be sad, of course I love you more because you are my real Tatay. She said hugging me. Isn't she so sweet?
Thank you baby, that's so sweet of you. I hope your nanay loves me too. I said hugging her back.
Oh she loves you okay, maybe not as much as she loves Daddy. She said.
Ouch. I said with a long face.
You're so childish Tay, stop being jealous. Kassy said smiling at me.
What's your Nanay doing, why is she still in the room? I asked.
Talking to Daddy, Are we done cooking? I'm so hungry. She said
Why they didn't get married? They've been together for so long? I asked. Not that I want them to get married but I am just curious why they're not.
Why don't you ask Nanay? She said.
But you know the reason why? I asked and she nods. Why don't you tell me? I insisted.
Because I promised Daddy not to tell anybody and I don't break promises and It's not my secret to tell. She replied.
Sometimes I wish you weren't this smart so I can persuade you to tell me everything you know. I told her.
I'll try to convince Nanay to tell you why they don't want to get married. Is that enough? She asked me.
More than enough. I replied.
I'll call Nanay so we can eat. She said and ran into the room.
After a few minutes, she came back with Alyssa, wide smile plastered on her face. We are eating and I'm getting irritated of her smile.
Why are you so happy? I asked irritably
Bakit bawal ba? She asked.
Because of your boyfriend? I asked her again.
