"Alia!"

"Gumamela!"

Napa-irap ang batang babae nang makitang nandun na naman ang batang ayaw na ayaw niya. But instead of throwing hurtful words at him, she beamed a huge smile which; he really hate.

"Ow, hi Logan."

Hindi maitago ni Logan ang pagka-irita dito kaya tumakbo nalang siya palayo.

Tumawa agad si Alia nang tumakbo ito.

"What a loser."

"Hey, Alia!" Gustav, her tita's son was there waving at her. She also waved back.

"Hi, Gustav!"

"Can we play?" Gustav asked and showed his toys.

Alia immediately whimpered when she saw his toys; tanks, trucks, and soldiers.

"I like a tea party and not war!" She said and turned her back.

Agad siyang hinawakan ni Gustav bago makalayo. He show her cute pout that no one can resist.

"I'm sure we can do something about it."

The little senyorita raised her brow. While Gustav was like the pitiful slave trying to impress her master.

"How about the soldiers just won the war then they want to join your tea party? Then we can play together!" Gustav excitedly said.

Napatango naman si Alia sa sinabi nito.

"That's a great idea! But...can we get some food on your fridge, Gustav? Let's eat real food!" Alia requested.

Gustav think about it. And just one second, an idea was on his mind. Bumungisngis agad ito.

"We can get all the foods you want. But..." Tinuro nito ang pisngi nito.

"Kiss me first." He giggled after saying that.

"No fair! Isusumbong kita kay tita!"

"Isusumbong mo ko, then no real food!"

Alia immediately think. She pretended that she was shocked on how Gustav shout at her, and then cried.

Agad nataranta si Gustav sa nakita. While Alia, was trying so hard to stop her laugh.

"Okay iba nalang ang ipagagawa ko sa yo! Just don't tell mommy!" He cutely said. It was Alia's turned to giggle. He patted Gustav's head.

Gustav showed her his little finger.

"Promise, that you will stay with me forever."

Napa-isip agad si Alia dito.

"Well Gustav, as much as I want to, I can't. I have school in Manila and I don't like the view here. I want to be in Manila all the time! So I can't stay with you."

Natawa si Gustav dito. "May pagkamaldita ka talaga!"

Tumalim agad ang tingin niya kay Gustav. "I am not!"

"Ibahin ko na lang." Gustav said. Tumango si Alia dito.

"Promise me if we will grow up, magpapakasal tayo." He said and shyly smiled.

The innocent, young Alia immediately jumped in Joy.

"Oh yes Gustav! I like weddings! Let's make ours full of roses, okay." Pumalakpak agad ito.

"You aren't allowed to take back what you said." Hamon ni Gustav sa kanya.

"Who said I'm taking it back?" She raised her brow.

"Then it's settled. You will be my wife!" Gustav happily said.

"Let's get the food you promise Gustav!" Sabi ni Alia at hinila patayo si Gustav.

"Wait! We are missing something."

"Missing what?"

"The pinky swear!"

"Do you promise to be my wife when we grow up?"

"Yes! Pinky swear!" Alia excitedly said. Napangiti si Gustav dito.

"Now let's get the food Gustav!"

Childhood days are indeed the best.
