Pagkatapos naming mag-grocery, nagyaya si Tita sa isang sikat na Korean Restaurant. She treated me nga eh ㅠㅠ, hindi naman ako makatanggi dahil magtatampo raw siya kung hindi ko tatanggapin.
Sobrang nahihiya na rin ako, ang dami na kasi nilang naitulong sa akin ㅠㅠ 'di bale, I'll pay for everything they've done bago ako umuwi sa bansa namin.
“Eomma, igeo neomu manh-ayo. igeo da meog-eodo dwaeyo?” tanong ni Jinsu habang tinitignan ang mga dishes na inorder ni Tita.
(Mom, there are too many of these.
Can we eat all of this?)
Marami nga ang inorder ni tita, kung titignan kasi parang walong tao ang kakain sa dami. Tulad din sa mga K-drama na napanuod ko, hindi talaga mawawala ang Samgyeopsal.
Pero, bakit nga ba ang daming inorder ni tita?
“Ilbon-eseo halmeonileul mannaleo ganeunguna, adeul-a. Geuleoni jal meoggo baeleul chaewola”
(You're going to meet your grandmother in Japan, son. So eat well and fill your stomach)
Napakunot-noo ako, aalis sila?
“A? wae ileohge gabjagiyo?”
(Oh? why so sudden?)
“Neo ij-eo beolyeoss-eo? ne halmeoniui saeng-il-iya!” sabi ni tita, while shaking her head.
(Have you forgotten? It's your grandma's birthday!)
“A, geulaeyo! ㅠㅠ hamateomyeon ij-eul ppeonhaessneunde, eomma! alaneun eottaeyo?” tanong ni Jinsu sabay tingin sa akin.
(Ah, yes! ㅠㅠ I almost forgot, but mom! How about Ara?)
Marahan naman akong umiling-iling bago sumagot;
“Anyo, anyo! nan gwaenchanh-eulgeoya. Oneul-eun neoui halmeoni saeng-il-igo naneun neoui gajog-ui il-won-i anida”
(No, no! I'll be fine. Today is your grandmother's birthday and I'm not even a member of your family)
“Aigu, i aiya. geuleohge malhaji ma, neon uliwa hamkke gal geoya, al-assji?” pagsingit ni tita.
(Aigoo, this child. Don't say that, you'll come with us hm?)
“Imo, igeon jeohante neomu gwahaeyo. Imo-ege bepul-eo jusin eunhyeleul eotteohge da gap-aya halji moleugess-eoyo! Jib-eseo gidalilgeyo. Eonje dol-aosil geoyeyo?” pagtanggi ko, like sobrang nakakahiya na talaga. They let me stay sa bahay nila, tapos isasama pa ako sa Japan? that's too much ㅠㅠ
(Aunt, this is too much for me, and I don't know how to repay the kindness you've given me! I'll wait at home. When are you coming back?)
“Gyeolje? i aiya, geuleon saeng-gag-eun haji mala. Nae adeul-eun najung-e bonaejulge, geuneun naeil ajig sueob-i iss-eo. An ogo sip-eo?”
(Payment? Don't bother think of it, this child. I'll send my son away later, he still have class tomorrow. Do you not want to come?)
Tumango naman ako tsaka ngumiti.
“Geuleom adeunim-eul gidaligo issgessseubnida!”
(I'll be waiting for your son then!)
“Mom, are we gonna buy gifts for grandma?” tanong ni Jinsu habang nagluluto ng Samgyeopsal or sa english, pork belly.
“Mullon, i il-i kkeutnamyeon nawa hamkke gaja”
(Ofcourse, come with me after this)
Habang nag-uusap sila ni Tita, kain lang ako ng kain. Hindi ko rin kasi alam ang sasabihin ko, isa pa ayoko sumingit sa usapan nilang mag-ina.
They are talking about the surprise, gifts etc. Tungkol lahat sa birthday ng grandma ni Jinsu.
Half an hour din ang lumipas bago kami tumayo sa aming mga upuan at lumabas ng Restaurant. Sinamahan ko rin sila bumili ng gifts for Jinsu's grandma, and cheese! ang dami nilanh biniling gifts.
