Because Of You

Chapter 12

Benjamin’s POV

I got on a blue-striped hoodie and a green shirt underneath and white maong pants and my beloved new Nike rubber shoes.

I quickly went downstairs after changing clothes and then I ate, “O hijo, mukhang bihis na bihis ka ah, s’an punta mo?” nakangiting tanong ni mama.

“May date po kami ni babyprincess mamayang 10” sagot ko, “Ah ganun ba? Mag-enjoy kayo ha? Hm.. s’an mo naman siya balak dalhin?” tanong pa ni mama, I shrugged, “Maybe I’ll take her to... ugh. I don’t really know, pahingi naman ng lugar diyan ma o” sabi ko.

Mama laughed and thought of a place, “Oh, I know! Why not the Lambanaog Lake? (A. Gawagawa lang. ^o^)” she suggested.

“Hmm.. I think that’s good, do you think she’ll like it?” tanong ko kay mama, agad namang tumango si mama nang nakangiti, “Of course she will!” nakangiting sabi ni mama, we kept on talking and she kept on teasing me about some stuff till the clock ticked 10.

Pumunta ako sa may gate nila at nag-doorbell, agad namang lumabas si babyprincess, “Hanep! Hindi late” sabi niya, “You still owe me something babyprincess” I said with a smirk.

She laughed nervously, “Let’s not mind that and.. j-just enjoy our day okay? ^o^” she said using her most innocent face.

I chuckled and kissed her on the cheek, “Alright, let’s just go” natatawang sabi ko sabay lahad ng kamay ko sa kanya, kinuha naman niya ‘yung kamay ko tapos sabay kaming naglakad patungo sa bago kong kotse na Audi.

“Wow!! O__O May bago kang kotse! Ang yaman mo talaga!” singhal niya.

“Do you know how to drive?” nakangiting tanong ko sa kanya, she shook her head with a frown, “’La akong time para mag-driving school eh” sagot niya.

“That’s too bad, para sa’yo kasi ‘tong kotse” sabi ko, her eyes from ^o^ naging OnO

Natawa naman ako sa naging itsura niya, talagang naka-nganga pa siya! WAHAHAHAHAHAHA! XD

“PARA SA AKIN ‘TONG KOTSE?!!!! O n O” ulit niya, tumatawa pa rin ako at sobrang sakit na ng tiyan ko, “WAIT LANG. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...”

“LAST NA TALAGA!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

“LAST NA LAST NA... HAHAHAAHA!!..... HAHAHAHAHAHA!! XD”

 I sighed when I finally stopped laughing, haaay sa wakas, medyo nabawasan rin ang sakit ng tiyan ko, babyprincess was simply glaring at me.

“Yes baby, this Audi car is specially for you” nakangiting sabi ko, syempre pinili ko ‘yung bagay sa kanya, may pagkahalo ng boyish ‘yung kotse pero bagay rin sa babae, it’s a nice color of aqua blue.

“P-p-p-pero... ang mahal kaya nitong model na ‘to........” sabi niya na tumitingin-tingin sa kotse, “I don’t really care about the price, kahit pa ubusin ko ang pera ko para sa’yo okay lang kasi mahal kita” sabi ko sa kanya, she frowned.

“Well hindi naman ‘ata pwede ‘yun no. Tss. Ayokong isipin ng iba na gold-digger ako at ayokong masira ang kinabukasan ng bangko mo dahil sa’kin” sabi niya, I softly held her cheek, “Hehe. I’m just saying anyway” nakangiting sabi ko tapos pinisil ko ‘yung pisngi niya.

“O p’ano? Tara na, ako na muna magd-drive, ‘di ka pala marunong” sabi ko tapos pinagbuksan ko siya ng pinto, ako naman ‘dun sa driver’s seat na umupo.

Nag-drive na ako papuntang Lambanaog Lake, mga dalawang oras din kaming bumyahe papunta doon, pero worth it naman kasi sobrang ganda ng natanaw namin na view.
