"Cal, saan ka galing?" I asked as he pulled up in front of the main door. He got out of my parents' minivan, the car he uses to drive around. Arthur and I had been looking all over for him. We woke up with him gone and the help told us he left early. I tried calling him only to find out that he left his phone in our room. Habang nasa playroom kami ni Arthur, nakita ko mula sa bintana ang kotse na pumasok sa gate bumaba ako at sinalubong siya.
Callum grinned going around the trunk of the car and open it. He took out a small blue bicycle. "I bougth a bike for the little one. Do you think he'll like this?."
"Oh, I'm sure he'll love it. Lahat naman ng ibigay mo, gusto niya." I smiled and walked towards him. He wrapped an arm around my waist. " Bakit naman naisip mong bilhan siya ng bike? Baka naman pangarapin niya naman maging next Lance Aarmstrong."
He chuckled and buried his nose into my hair. "I saw him trying to ride his cousin's bike. Masyadong malaki yung bike ni Cookie kaya hindi niya maabot."
"Kanina ka pa niya hinahanap. Umiyak nga kanina noong di ka niya makita. He thought you went back to California. I had to explain to him that you probably just went out to buy something." Natatawang sabi ko.
"Oh poor little guy." He shook his head. "Hindi ko na kayo ginising kanina kasi ang himbing ng tulog niyo. Besides, I want to suprise him. Where's he anyway?"
"He's inside. Kanina pa kami naglalaro sa playroom. I left him in there when I saw the car. Busy kasi sa panonood ng leapfrog. I'm going to go get him, ilagay mo na sa backyard yung bike." Sabi ko.
"Yes, ma'am." He cupped my face and kised me firm on the lips.
I went up to go get Arthur who was still watching tv.
"Nandyan na si Dr. Callum." I sat down next to him and kiss the top of his head. "He has a surprise for you."
"What is it?" He suddenly sounded excited.
"It's a surprise kaya we need to go downstairs. Hinihintay ka na ni Dr. Callum at ang surprise niya sa'yo." I nuzzled my nose against his soft and rounded cheek.
"Okay, lets go downstairs, Ate Drey!" He excitedly squeled.
Bumaba kaming dalawa and just before we go to the garden, I covered his eyes with my palms.
"What do you think Dr. Callum's surprise is for you." I asked as I carefully walked him to the backyard.
"A spaceship!" He said.
"Close enough." Callum chuckled.
Tinanggal ko na ang kamay ko na naapatong sa mga mata niya. In front of him was the blue bike Callum had bougt for him.
"It's an Arthur ship!" I giggled.
"Wooow! This is so cool!" His eyes widened as he looked at his bike. He went around it and checked out every sides of it. "Is this mine?"
"It isn't called Arthur ship for nothing." One corner of Callum's lip tugged upward.
"I've always wanted a bike!" He excitedly climbed up the bike.
"We know. That's why Ate Drey and I bought you one. Nagustuhan mo ba ang surprise namin?" Callum asked.
"Yes!" He frantically nodded his head.
" Marunong ka na ba magbike?" I asked.
"Yeah! I biked Cookie's bike before and Kuya Coco helped me." He said as he started pedaling.
"Ang galing naman ng baby namin." Callum cheered as he began to move.
"Careful, okay?" I reminded him and turned my head to my husband. "Didn't you get a helmet and elbow and knee pads for him? Baka mamaya mahulog siya sa bike niya."
