Pagkalabas na pagkalabas ko ng office, dumiretso ako sa kitchen. For sure, my mom's baking.
"Anak!" My mom embraced me.
"Ma. What are you baking?"
"Your favorite and your ate's favorite."
"Chocolate Cake Espesyal!"
Ever since the company grew bigger, richer, worldwide, only my mom called us. Maybe that's why I'm more comfortable with my mom.
"Aalis ako mamaya, mommy."
"I'll bring you there."
"To Jean's house?"
"Yes."
"Thank you, mommy!"
Pagkarating na pagkarating namin sa bahay ng best friend ko, which is Jean, kinain agad naming dalawa yung cake na gawa ni mommy.
"Ang sarap talga magbake ni Tita Ven!" Childish na saad ng best friend ko, referring to my mom.
Hindi ako sumagot.
"Movie marathon tayo." Pag aaya niya sa akin.
Kahit ako, gusto ko rin. "Game."

Sigaw nang sigaw si Jean. I'm just sitting there, bored.
"Akala ko ba horror? Bakit romance 'to?"
"Para-paraan lang yan." Sabay kindat niya.
"Pasalamat ka best friend kita. Kung hindi,!"
"Oo na! Thank you po!"
Tili siya nang tili dahil sa kilig. Ugh. I hate these kind of movies.
"Mauna na ako, huh?"
Hindi ko na siya hinintay sumagot. I went straight to the mall.
"Hmmm..." I'm currently picking what to buy. To get to the point, shopping.
Ang ganda-ganda ng pwesto ko habang nagshoshopping nang biglang may nakabangga sa akin. Todo bantay naman tong mga body guards na 'to.
I raised my palm as a sign na 'stay'.
I looked at the child. Na nakabangga sa akin. She didn't look so poor. Average, maybe.
"You should look where you run to, the next time." Saway ko sa kanya.
Umiyak naman siya. Gosh! Mga bata nga naman! Mga iyakin!
Dinala ko siya sa isang resto. I fed her. She's cute.. Very cute, actually.
Nagkekwentuhan kaming dalawa when all of a sudden, "Hoy! Kidnapper!"
