Chapter 11: Zade, Meet Heisenberg

 

HALLOWEEN

 

Next to Valentine’s Day, isa sa least favorite events ko ay Halloween. Laking probinsya kasi ako, wala namang trick or treat o cable sa San Ignacio kaya hindi ako exposed sa mga ganyan. Bihira rin akong manood ng horror movies dahil sabi ni Nana Tinang, bad influence raw yun. Well.. nung high school nakapanood ako ng ilang movies at di naman ako natakot. I even laughed at some, sobrang unrealistic kasi ng story at hello ang panget ng prosthetics!

But since medyo affiliated na ako sa yamings (ex. Andreau & Ms. Marisse), I have to conform with their norms. Apparently, Tristan insisted to go trick-or-treating tonight and he wants me to go with him. May trip kasi sa Siargao sina Ms. Marisse kaya hindi niya masasamahan si Tristan. Aayaw sana ako kaso.. vampire raw ang costume ni Tristan. How could I say no to such cute thing?

“Aaahh ang cute cute mo naman Tristan!!!” agad kong kinuha ang digicam ni Kesh at pinicturan si Little Vampire. Tristan flashed a fangy smile and even tried a menacing look. He’s too adorable! Thanks to his genes, effortless sa kanya ang paper white skin! Ang cute rin ng fake blood sa may baba niya. Aahh cuteness overload!

Ms. Marisse watched as his son tried to bite my neck. In fairness, nakakakiliti! “Tristan, don’t hurt Ate Zade, okay?” paalala niya. Maya-maya ay aalis na siya papuntang airport. “Zade, ano nga palang costume mo?” she asked.

Aww patay tayo dyan. Baka magtampo sa’kin si Tristan pag sinabi kong wala akong costume! “Uhmm.. meron po. Magpapalit ako mamaya bago umalis!”

Tristan sat on my lap and pinched my cheeks. “Magiging si Bella ka na ba pag kinagat kita sa leeg?”

Ms. Marisse and I exchanged shocked looks and laughed. “Naku where did you learn that, Tristan?” tanong ko sa kanya. Nakitawa na rin siya.

“Kay Kuya Andreau! We watched that movie last week!”

Whoa, that was news. Who would’ve thought Andreau likes Twilight? Hah, feeling ko for the love of film ang idadahilan niya pag tinanong ko siya about this!

I excused myself for awhile para makapagpalit na sa costume ko. Dahil sobrang wala ako sa mood na gumastos para sa costume, sinuot ko ang ever default costume ko: pajamas. Fine, I’m not that creative.

May kausap sa phone si Ms. Marisse pagkalabas ko ng CR. She gave me a weird look when she saw me. Si Tristan naman..

“Ate Zade.. yan na ang costume mo?”

Shit, he sounded so disappointed. He obviously loves Halloween and here I am, crushing his cute, little hopes. At yung tingin pa niya sa’kin.. nakakakonsensya. Ba’t ganito ang mga bata, Lord?

“Ah ano ka—“

“Relax lang, baby,” Ms. Marisse came in to the rescue. Kinarga niya si Tristan and hinalikan ito sa pisngi. “Okay naman ang costume ni Ate, di ba?”

“But.. it’s a pajama..” Aray naman, cutiepie! Stating the obvious!

“Pero she looks great, right? Besides it’s Halloween! You can wear whatever you want. Di ba you don’t normally wear your pajamas outside? But today.. you can! Right, Ate Zade?” kinindatan niya ako, as if saying na sakyan ko ang spiel niya.
