"Where we going? I thought we'll be making cookies today?" tanong ni Snow as soon as she gets inside Karylle's car.
"We're just gonna buy some ingredients for our cookie-making-day,"
"We'll do grocery?"
"Yes," she then help Snow buckling her seat belt.
"I always help Adi when we do grocery." pagkukwento nito.
"That's good. You have to help Daddy so he won't get tired that much," sagot nito as she started the engine of the car.
"That's what Papa told me. Hehe! He always tells me to help Adi in evewything."
Papa? Kunot noong inisip ni Karylle kung sinong papa ang tinutukoy ni Snow. Aside from Vice, meron pa ba siyang kinikilalang ama?
Sinet-aside na lamang niya ang thought na iyon at kinumbinsi na lamang na baka isa sa mga kapatid ni Vice ang tinatawag ni Snow na papa.
"Is the grocery far from your house?" tanong ulit ng bata. Ngumiti naman si Karylle dito dahil nagsisimula na nga talaga ang pagiging madaldal ni Snow.
"Not really. Why? Are you bored already?"
"Nope. I just don't weally want to waste so much time. We only have thwee hours to make cookies." she even showed her three fingers. "Time runs so fast."
"Hindi naman matagal gumawa ng cookies, baby eh."
"Weally?"
"Yhup! I've already baked cookies so many times and I hadn't taken that long,"
"Sooooo! If ever we finish early, can we play?"
"Play? Sure, baby. No problem!"
Kitang kita naman ni Karylle kung paanong halos tumalon na si Snow sa upuan sa sobrang saya. She was even clapping her hands with unison of her head, going left to right. Dahil narin siguro sa fact na walang naging kalaro si Snow sa Canada kaya ganito na lamang siya ka-excited everytime na mabibigyan sita ng opportunity to be with others. Nasanay lang siya na ang ama ang laging kasama, oh kung hindi man ay si Terrence.
Gaya nga ng sabi ni Karylle, hindi naman sila nagtagal sa daan. Once they arrived sa grocery store ay bumaba na sila ni Snow at hand in hand na naglakad papasok.
"Aside from making cookies, do you wanna try Tita Karylle's favorite food?" tanong ni Karylle. Mabilis naman na nag-look up si Snow.
"What is it?"
"You'll see later,"
Mabilis na kumilos ang dalawa. Karylle gets the pushcart para lagyan ng mga bibilhin nila. Nagpasakay naman doon si Snow kaya tinulungan ito ni Karylle na makaakyat at makasampa. Inuna nilang kinuha ang mga kakailanganin nila for their cookie-making-day.
"Tita Kawylle! Wook! They have wots of Dutch Mill hereeeee!" tuwang tuwa na sabi ni Snow nang madaan sila sa milk section ng store. Natawa naman si Karylle sa naging reaksyon ng bata.
"You want some?"
"May I?"
"Oo naman no. Alin ba dito?"
"The pink one! It's so yummy eh." matapos ay tila nahihiyang ngumiti si Snow. "Andddd... can I also get one of the viowet?"
"Let's get you all of the colors they have here."
Bigla namang may naalala si Snow.
"Oh! No. No. Tita Kawylle, just get me one of the pink. That's enough," nagkakamot ulong sabi nito. Nagtaka naman si Karylle dahil bigla niyang nakitaan ng takot sa mata ang bata.
