12 years ealier.
Hey that's mine. I was here first.
But you didn't grab it. Its mine now.
That's mine! Sabay hila ng stuffed toy.
No its mine! I shoved her and get the toy.
She then starts crying like a baby. Tumakbo naman ako sa takot at baka dahil hinahanap na ako ng family ko. Nandito kasi kami ngayon sa Department store ng isang kilalang Mall sa US.
Bea anak, saan mo nakuha yan, diba sabi ko sayo, if you want a toy, just ask us first. Sobrang dami mo nang toys sa bahay. – Mom
But mommy, I want this and I already took it with the other girl. – Me
What?! Nanguha ka nanaman ng toy ng iba. - Mom
No Im not a bully, besides, its still not paid, lol.
Madaming natatakot saakin because maybe of my height. Kahit guys, takot den sila.
On cue naman ay dumating yung parents nung mangaagaw na yun. Kalmado naman sila thank God.
Hi, Im the parent of this kid and I think yours and mine had an interaction for that toy. Tinuro nya yung toy na yakap yakap ko. Nagtago naman ako sa likod ni Mom.
Oh hi, yes, sorry about that (in a slight Filipino accent) – my Mom
Pinoy? – that kid's Mom
Nakuuuu jus porsanto, Pilipino. Hahaha, anyways pasensya na dito sa anak ko. Humarap sya dun sa bata at.. Hayaan mo, kakausapin ko na lang yung anak ko. – my Mom.
Ay, salamat gustong gusto kasi ng anak ko yan, sabi ko sakanya kukuha na lang tayo baka may stock pa sila kaya lang wala na daw. Sobrang limited edition daw kasi nyang Pooh na stuffed toy na yan. – that kid's mom.
Habang nag uusap sila tinitignan ko tong bata na to. Maganda naman sya, naglalaro sya nung dala dala nyang barbie. Then habang nakatingin ako sakanya, habang yakap yakap ko yung pooh na stuffed toy, napatingin sya sakin. Naalala ko pa, sobrang expresive ng eyes nya. Nakita ko na parang sobrang enjoy sya sa ginagawa nya, ang babaw naman ng kaligayahan ng batang to.
I was stuck looking at her, hindi ko namalayan na papalapit na pala sya saakin.
I want that toy. She said to me.
Meanwhile, naririnig ko si mama and yung mom nya....
Malapit lang kami dun, maybe we can invite you over dinner tomorrow? – that kid's mom
Ay sige sige. Eto calling card ko you can call me dun sa home number ko since weekend naman at nasa bahay lang den kami. Sakto vacation na ang mga bata. – my mom.
Sure sure. – that kid's mom
Oh Bea anak, uhm this is Jhoana's mom, and they have invited us over dinner tomorrow. But first you have to let go the toy. I know this is hard cause you also like that toy, but.....
Napatahimik sya nung umalis ako sa harap nya para puntahan si Jhoana at inabot ang stuffed toy na hawak ko.
It's yours. Sorry I shoved you. Then I gestured a high five, pero hindi nya pinansin. Maybe because masama pa den loob nya dun sa pagtulak ko sakanya. I just smiled.
After that I went to get a stuffed volleyball toy and asked my mom about it. She just smiled and nodded, my cue to go to cashier and wait for her.
That is super strange, usually pag ganun magmamatigas talaga ako dun sa stuffed toy na yun. But when I saw her, I turned into this full-hearted person and not a monster bully.
Weird. But good. Good but still weird.
