A night with you

Night 22

Night 22:

Juami:

"Good morning, Tita!" bati ko sa mommy ni Brianna pag pasok ko ng bahay nila, "Gising na po ba si Brianna?"

"Yes, nagaayos lang siya sa kwarto niya." mabilis na sagot niya, "Ihahatid mo ba siya sa Ichi ngayon?"

"Yes po, Tita. And sasamahan ko rin si Onemig mag entrance exam."

"Really? Where is he going to study?" she interestedly asked.

"In Ateneo po." I answered, "Onemig wants to study in Ateneo po eh. Nagtalo pa nga po kami ni Brianna eh, she wants Onemig to go in Zobel but I want him to go in Ateneo."

"Pagpasensyahan mo na, hijo." Tita replied then she gave me a quick pat on my back, "She spent 18 years of her life in La Salle."

"Let's go, Juams!" Brianna said while rushing down the stairs, "I'm running late and Onemig, too!"

I checked my wristwatch and was a bit shocked when I saw the time, it's already 7 in the morning. Isang oras na pala akong nakikipag-usap kay Tita Monica. 8:30 ang exam ni Onemig, bahala na si Batman!

"What time did you wake up ba?" I asked Brianna as soon as she got into to my car, "Ang bagal mo pa naman kumilos."

"I didn't hear my alarm." she replied, "Pinaliguan ko pa si Onemig bago ako naligo. Si Cheche kasi pinag day-off ko muna."

"Sinabay mo na dapat siya maligo. Ikaw naman."

"Sesermonan mo nalang ba ako?" inis na sabi niya, "Asikasuhin mo si Onemig mamaya ha! Nako, malaman laman ko lang na lumalandi ka nanaman kay Gai ha!"

"Bakit ba ang init ng ulo mo kay Gai?" natatawang tanong ko sakanya, "Wala naman siyang ginagawa sa'yo."

"Wala? Are you sure wala?!" inis na inis na tanong niya, "Inaagaw ka ni Gianina Georgine sa'kin, Juan Miguel!"

I gave her a reassuring smile, "Don't worry baby, hindi naman ako magpapaagaw eh. I will forever be yours."

"Ang aga mo mambola!" sabay kurot niya sa tagiliran ko, "Sige na, dito nalang ako. I'll take a cab nalang, male-late na si Onemig." paalam niya, "Good luck baby!" then she kissed him on his cheek.

"Drive safely, Juami. Bye!" the she gave me a quick peck on cheek.

She hasn't changed. She's still the same old Brianna, matigas ang ulo at laging late! Pagbaba ni Brianna lumipat naman si Onemig sa front seat.

He was having his breakfast nang bigla siyang may nilabas sa pocket niya.

"Daddy, Tito Kiefer told me that this is a balloon. Can you blow it for me?"

I suddenly stepped on the break when I saw what he was holding. Thank goodness naka seatbelt si Onemig kundi humampas na siya sa dashboard at siguradong mapapatay ako ni Brianna Solaire!

"Onemig, this is not a balloon, okay?" I answered, "Don't listen to Tito Kiefer,"

"If that is not a balloon, what is that then?"

"You're too young for this. I'll let you know when you grow up na, okay?"

"Okay."

Kiefer Isaac Ravena!! You are so dead!! Puro kalokohan ang pinagtuturo mo sa anak ko ha. Buti nalang at dito sa kotse nilabas ni Onemig 'yun at hindi sa school, baka 'yun pa ang maging reason kung bakit 'di siya matatanggap.
