"Cryd naman! At least let me buy a cake o kaya fruits! I don't want to go to your house without anything to give!" Reklamo niya. Kanina pa siya nagmamaktol dahil ayaw ko siyang payagan na magdala ng kahit ano sa bahay.
I'm sure my mom baked a cake so buying a cake is no use. Marami din kaming prutas sa bahay kaya hindi niya na kailangang bumili ng pandagdag.
Cryd: You don't have to buy anything. Your presence is enough, okay?
She huffed.
Sav: Not okay. I have to buy something for your parents. Kailangan may dala ako, Constantino. I don't want to make a bad impression dahil lang wala akong dala!
Cryd: Just bring yourself.
"I'm going to leave you right here if you won't let me buy anything!" She glared at me, balling her fist.
Now, now, Angel, you're being too cute. Stop it.
Cryd: You're really not gonna drop this?
"No." Madiin niyang sabi saka umiling-iling. I sighed and patted her head, "Fine. Stubborn baby."
Tinaasan niya ako ng kilay. Tumawa ako at pinapasok na siya ng kotse. When I asked where she wanted to go, sa Van Gogh's kami natuloy. I told her na baka matunaw lang ang ice cream but she insisted anyway.
Dalawang 1.5 L ice cream ang binili niya. Chocolate marshmallow graham and double dutch. Good thing, my family loves ice cream.
Binilisan ko nalang ang pagpapatakbo ng kotse para hindi matunaw ang ice cream. The moment I parked the car inside, namutla na siya agad.
Sav: Your mom's not scary naman, 'di ba? Can I ask her about her stories and if may bago pa siyang ipapublish? Can I ask anything? She won't get mad?
I chuckled and shook my head.
Cryd: She won't.
"I'm nervous." She pouted and nibbled her thumb. Umiling ako at pinitik ang kanyang noo, "They'll like you. Come on."
Nauna akong lumabas ng kotse. Genieva's already on the door with London and my other cousins. There's Ada, Dash and Demi. Wow, kumpleto.
Genieva's holding a small white board. May nakasulat doong, Welcome Ate Savanna! :3
"Tita Cae! Andito na sina Kuya!" London informed. I wonder if their parents are here as well.
Pinagbuksan ko ng pinto si Savanna. She's gritting her teeth. Talagang nininerbyos ata siya.
"Hey." Malambing kong sabi saka inangat ang tingin niya, "You'll do great. You don't have to be scared."
She frowned, "I can't hear you."
I smiled saka inayos ang mga takas niyang buhok, "I know."
She fumbled on her phone.
Sav: Do you think they'll like me?
"Yes."
Sav: What if they don't?
Kinagat niya ang ibabang labi niya. Nang hawakan ko ang kamay niya ay nanlalamig ito kaya natawa ako.
