"Is it delicious, Mama?"
Kinuha ni Mama ang chocolate cupcake Mula sa tray nito at agad na tinikman. It's been a week since Bryan and I gotten closer, Everything went smooth for me after we became friends.
And as a token of gratitude for him, ginawan ko siya ng cupcake! Malaking pasasalamat ko sa kaniya dahil tinanggap niya pa din ako kahit may kakaiba akong ugali.
"Ang galing naman ng prinsesa namin! Where did you learn this?"
I smiled wider after hearing my Mama's compliments. I baked a chocolate cupcake with the help of our cook, Hindi ko pa kase kaya ang iba at dahil maliit pa ang kamay ko't mahihina din ang mga ito ay hindi ko masasabing ako ang gumawa ng lahat para maluto lang ang cupcake na nasa harap namin ngayon. I'm just giving instructions about the design I want and how sweet must be it. Ganoon lang ang ginawa ko.
"Mama, I didn't baked it. Our cook did, tumulong lang po ako sa design at kung gaano dapat ito katamis."
"Still, you cooked this. Philip! Come here, taste your daughter's first baked cupcakes! Ang sarap!"
I immediately saw my father's strong and huge frame coming towards us. He's wearing his usual attire, a white polo and a black slacks partnered with brown leather shoes. Naka-sampay sa kaliwang kamay niya ang puting doctor's gown and I can't help but to be amazed by that cloth every time I see it.
Huminto si Papa sa harap namin at agad na tinikman ang cupcake na pinagtulungan namin ng cook na lutuin. I saw my father's eyes widened and looked at me straightly with a touch of astonishment on his eyes.
"You cooked this, my princess?"
I shook my head as a No.
"No, Papa. Our cook did. Tinulungan ko lang po siya sa designs and sa sweetness po."
He nodded and his smiles aren't fading away as he put down the cupcake on the tray. Inayos niya ang puting Doctor's gown na nakasampay sa kaniyang kamay bago ako tapunan ng tining. He looks at me with so adoration in his eyes, I can sense that my father is so proud of me right now.
"Do you want to be a chef one day?" He asked.
"Yes, baby, gusto mo bang maging chef? Come on, tell us. Your Papa and I are dying to know what Profession you want to have someday."
Inayos ko ang pagkaka-upo ko dahil sa pananabik na nararamdaman ko ngayon. I have a dream, I want to reach that in the future. Kahit na bata pa lamang ako ay alam ko na ang pangarap na sinisigaw ng aking puso at utak. Simula nang nagkamalay ako sa mundong ito ay hindi na mawala sa isip ko ang mangarap tungkol sa mga bagay-bagay na gusto kong makamit balang araw.
"I want to be a nurse po.."
Both of them were stunned because of my answer. Lumapit ako sa kanila at tinuro ang telang dala-dala ni Papa.
"Nurses are the one who's assisting a doctor, right? I want to help Papa on his work as his assistant nurse. Para maalagaan ko din po siya. Kuya Dylan told me that everyone is getting older and weaker as time passes by, I want to take care of Papa po."
My father chuckled because of what I've said then pinched my cheeks, however, my mother looked at us with a sad and teary eyes, Hinawakan niya any kaniyang dibdib at nagkunyareng umiiyak.
