My Cinderella

16

Dinner

Aerody ran in the garden at tumigil ako sandali as I look around. Now this is a garden. Like every area you look once you step out of that mansion is the beauty of nature.

I hug myself as I feel that cold air brushes my skin, "I'll join along your plan coz' I like it. And please wear this as you go." He bends down in front of me and drop some slippers and after giving me that he stands up again and sigh.

"Catch up." Sabi n'ya saakin habang diretsyo s'ya doon sa may parang pa maze na part ng garden n'ya kung nasan si aerody. Instead of going there, I remembered something that makes my feet brings me in the kitchen.

I carry the cake up and look for some candles and matches. After finding those, I ran in his relaxing room I guess, or tea room or whatever what he call this kind of room na pang kape or tea n'ya pag umaga. I forgot what it is being called basta yon.

I place down the cake on the coffee table and plant the candle on the cake. Before I light it up, I need to do something for him to be distracted and to leave aerody alone there.

Since etong glass house na to medyo patago dahil sa nakapalibot dito yung matataas na palumpong at mga rosas kaya sa tingin ko di ako agad mahahalata.

I glance at the boys who's walking towards the gate with the dogs. Sorry chase but I'm gonna ruin that smile for a short moment 

I walk towards the entrance door and screamed so loud as it echoed inside. After that I quickly ran on the shrubs and peek at them.

I saw chase quickly looked towards the house and slowly letting go of Aerody's hand and literally jumped over the fence and ran inside the house.

Wow. Is he serious?

"CINDERELLA?!!" I heard Chase's yelled from the inside and I saw aerody entered in with the dogs so I called him and he ran at me.

"Mam—

"Shh... Come here first. We need to surprise your dada so keep your voice down okay?" I cut aerody off so he nodded and squeeze himself in the glass house with me.

So this time while chase is not yet here, I lit the candle and hold Aerody's hand.

"WHERE ON EARTH IS CINDERELLA?! TALK TO ME !!" I heard chase yelled from inside and yeah. He's holding a gun once again. I could see him from the inside but I guess he can't see me from here.

"FUCK! AERODY! WHERE IS HE ALSO?!!!! WHERE ARE THEY?!" Sigaw ni chase sa tauhan n'ya at napasulyap ako kay Aerody na umatras na sa likod ko at napahigpit ang kapit sa kamay ko and after that he cried.

I put the cake down and bend down in front of him. "Baby, dada is only singing so loud okay? Don't be scared. Look at me. I'm not scared at your Dada's tone." pang adlib ko as I caresses his cheeks at pinilit n'ya sarili n'ya na tumigil sa pag iyak.

"We'll still surprise dada okay?"

"Yes mama." He responded, I wipe his tears away then stand up again and carry the cake up. I was about to call chase para di na matakot si aerody kaso biglang bumukas yung pinto dahil sa aso at kamuntik na kong ma knock out ng dalwang golden retriever with the cake.

Napa luhod lang ako katabi si aerody at tinulungan na ko ni aerody na ilayo ang aso saakin. "There's dada!" Aerody happily said so I look up and I saw him ran in and look around before keeping the gun in his back. .

"Happy birthday dada!!!! Happy birthday dada!!! Happy birthdayyy happy birthdayyyyy happy birthdayyy dadaaaaaaa!!!!!" Aerody singed and I joined at nilapit ko kay chase ang cake n'ya.
