"Ito..." Mamang says while holding a big fish bowl.
I saw Gabe look at me with confusion. I just rolled my eyes at him.
"Your idea is a fish bowl? For what?" Gabe asked.
Tumawa si Mamang. "Simula ngayon, magsasalita na kayo ng Tagalog kapag nandito kayo sa loob ng bahay lalong lalo na kapag nandito ako." Mamang started.
"What?!" Gabe blurted out. Oh.. This is gonna be fun.
"O, hindi pa nga nagsisimula may multa ka na kagad. Dito ninyo ilalagay sa fish bowl ang bawat multa ninyo. Isang salitang ingles, maghuhulog kayo dito ng isang daan. Ang maiipon ninyo dito ay syang pambibili nyo ng mga kailangan ninyo dito sa bahay." Mamang continued.
Gabe's jaw dropped. "But I only have dollars with me."
"Madali lang yan. Papapaltan natin lahat yan kay Uncle Fernan ninyo. Ikaw Gabriel madami ka ng utang ha." Mamang says.
I can't help but laugh. I presented my hand at Gabe while smiling like an idiot. He understands what I'm about to do. So he handed me his wallet.
"Tss.." Gabe says then went straight to Uncle Fernan's car.
"Sige na, baka gabihin kayo. Ingat kayo ha. Tawagan mo lang ako kung may kailangan kayo ng kapatid mo." Mamang said while smiling at me.
I just nod at her then gave her a hug.
After we went to a money changer, Uncle Fernan parked his car in front of a school.
I suddenly felt uncomfortable and nervous. Because next week, it will be the start of my new beginnings.
No more homeschooling. No more bodyguards. No more fancy stuffs.
It is just me.
