Maagang sinundo ni Erik si Raffy. Si Shin naman ay may engagement kaya maaga ring umalis. Dinala lang nila si Raffy sa mall. Instruction din kasi ng nanay na wag dalhin si Raffy outside Manila. Kaya nagsettle nalang silang mag-Timezone. They were to meet Ian there.
At TimeZone…
Ian: Raffy, what do you want to play?
“Let’s play basketball Tito! Do you know how?”
“Of course baby! Don’t you know that Tito Ian is a basketball expert?”—Erik
“Really Uncle? Come on Tito, let’s play ball!”
At nagtagal ang tatlo kakashoot ng bola. Naglaban pa sina Erik at Raffy, karga-karga ni Ian si Raffy habang nagshohoot.
Nagpunta rin sila sa iba’t ibang booths at naglaro ng iba’t ibang games. Nang makita ni Raffy ang Dance Revo, nagyaya ito.
“Uncle, I wanna dance!”
“Sure baby! Let’s try it! Do you know how?”
“Yup! We always play dance Revo back in London. Me, mum and Ara. It’s part of theater training for kids. It’s fun!”
“Okay. Let’s go!”
“Hey Tito Ian, wanna play with me? Let’s do the 2 player set.”
“Hmmm, nako baby I’m sorry. I have a bad body coordination. Uncle Erik, you dance with Raffy please.”
“Uncle?”—Raffy
“Okay babe.”—Erik
And the played Dance Revo. Ang glling ng coordination ng paa at mata ni Raffy. Nakukuha niya ang mga tinuturo ng mga arrows at very graceful pa itong gumalaw.
“Buti nalang di nagmana sa tatay.”—bulong ni Erik kay Ian habang naglalakad uli sila.
“Hahaha! Buti nalang talaga! Pogi ng anak ko no? Lalo nung gumagalaw kanina.”
“Sinabi mo pa! Poging pogi! Buti nalang maganda ang nanay!”
“Excuse me naman. Pogi kaya ng tatay niyan!”
“Hahahaha! Sabi mo eh. Hay naku, madaming bababe ang paiiyakin nitong batang to pagdating ng araw!”
“Ano ka ba bro! Ang bata bata pa, babae agad? Pero sabagay, tama ka naman. Kasalanan ko to eh!”
“O, bakit mo naman naging kasalanan?”
“Bakit ba kasi ang gwapo ko? Ang pogi tuloy ng anak ko!!”—sabay tapik sa likod ni Erik.
“Tsss. Sana lang wag mamana ng anak mo ang kayabangan mo no?”
“Ito naman, paminsan minsan lang eh. Pagbigyan mo na ako.”
“Hey, what are you two talking about?” --- Huminto si Raffy at namewang.
“Haha, come here little one.”—Ian (Sabay karga kay Raffy) “Manang mana ka rin talaga sa nanay mo eh. Where do you want to go next?”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“I wanna meet my dad.”
Halos sabay na mabilaukan sina Ian at Erik sa sinabi ni Raffy. Nasa bahay na sila ni Ian taking their snacks. Shin decided na sa bahay nalang ni Ian sunduin si Raffy that’s why they are waiting for her there.
“What did you say, baby?”-Erik
“I want to meet my Dad, Uncle. I want to know who he is.”
