"Mom, why po sila Sun and Moon may new toys. Ako po wala?"

"Sorry Nak, bigla kasing tinupak si Sun sa grocery hindi namin mapatahan ni Yaya. Etong si Moon naman sumunod din kaya ayun, napabili ng laruan para makapag-grocery kami ng tahimik."

"*pout*"

"Baby, sorry na po. I'll call daddy na lang to drop something for you pag-uwi niya. Ano ba ang gusto ng prinsesa ko?"

"Nevermind, mom. I--I'll just go to my room."*walkout*

Ring. Ring. Ring.

"Miggy?"

(Yup. Kumusta kana?)

"Eto mommy duties, kaw kumusta na? Nag-iba ka pala ng number di nagpasabi, na 'hu u' ka tuloy. Huy, ano kelan ka babalik ng Pinas?"

(Sorry naman. Actually, kararating ko lang. Kakabili ko lang kasi ng phone, naupuan ko yung phone ko sa eroplano, kaya yun warak. And by the way. Lunch date tayo nila Jen mamaya, catching up.)

"Um, that's great! It's been a long time na rin. Sige, magpapaalam ako kay Rj. Just text me kung saan and what time okey?"
