My life with the devil

chapter 33

Cloud's POV

"You should leave that mango alone, honey!"

Lumingon ako sa likuran ko. Andun si mom na nanlalaki ang mata niya sakin.

I grinned. Sinabihan kasi niyang wag ko daw gagalawin yong mga prutas sa counter dahil gagamitin niya yon sa mango tart niya. And may nabili naman daw na mango para sakin. Pero naubos ko na kasi yong mga yon kaya pinag-iisipan ko ng masama yong mangga na para sa tart sana ni mom.

"What? I was just about to drink water, mom...." kontra ko. Sabay tungo sa direction ng tubig.

Her eyes rolled. "Really, honey? You're about to steal that one." turo niya sa mga mannga.

I frowned. "Okay, fine. Buy me mango then."

She sighed. "Okay. I'll ask your dad... Now be good and leave the kitchen please." she kissed my forehead then sent me out of the kitchen!

I groaned. I'm glad na andito sina mom and it's the only Christmas na kasama ko sila. Though I still hate them... lolo talked to me naman and explained things and I just tried my best to understand them and they promised naman to lessen work and to be with me most of their time.

Bored na pumunta ako sa sala to watch cartoons. Yong corny na cartoons ang palabas.

 Wala sa loob kong tumingin sa wall clock. 11:12 AM

It's December 25 na din. I wonder kung tulog pa si Mhaica. Alam kong late na din nakatulog yong isang yon.

I reached for my phone sa pocket ko then dialed Mack's number.

Agad naman tong sumagot. I grinned.

"Hello?"

Hindi naman deep yong voice niya which means hindi niya kagigising.

"Hey there beautiful!" bati ko.

"Cloud." I can tell na nakangiti siya. Yehaa!

"Merry Christmas."

She giggled. "Merry Christmas din. Sorry, hindi na kita masyado nakausap kagabi."

"It's okay. You doing?"

"Playing with Fluffy--- Fluffy no!... Sorry Cloud, makulit tong puppy mo." Narinig ko pang may sinasabi siya dun sa puppy.

"Fluffy?"

"Errr--- You know, the puppy you gave me."

"I thought you named her Cloud?"

"I changed it. Hehe."

Okay lang naman sakin na pinalitan niya yong name pero I can tell na may something. I shrugged na lang then talked to her about stuff.

Halos isang oras na din kaming nag-uusap nang narinig kong tawagin siya ng papa niya sa background. Kakain na daw.

I smirked. "I'll talk to you later then. Happy lunch."

She laughed. "Happy lunch---"

"You'e talking to Mhaica, honey?"

Lumingon ako para Makita si mom na hawak na yong mango tart. I nodded.

"Invite her over. I wanna see her."

"Sino yon?" tanong ni Mack sa kabilang linya.

"Si mom. She's asking for you to come over."

Saglit siyang natahimik. "I'll see... I'm not sure. Pero I'll try for you."

I smiled. "Thanks."
