I was driving my car when Mom calls me.

"Hello, Los. Malapit na mag-umpisa ang dinner. Nasaan ka na?"tanong niya sa akin mula sa kabilang linya.

"Yes, Ma. I'm on my way"tugon ko naman.

"Did you bring the camera?"

"Yes, Ma. I bring it with me. Anyway, why do you need this camera? You have your phone, right?"

"May cute akong nakita na babae and she's so adorable. I don't wanna take a pic with this low class camera phone. I need that camera with a nice lense so I won't miss a shot. Oh! She's truly adorable"

Napasinghap nalang ako ng marinig ko ang rason ni Mama. She loves taking pictures and adorable things. Hind naman siya photographer but she loves to do that. Kahit langgam pipicturan niya because it should be a memorable. Taon taon yata bumibili si Mama ng ibat ibang klase ng kamera.

"Hope you not stole a shot, Ma. It's embarrassing"

"Make it fast, son"

Ibinaba ko na ang cellphone ko at pinagpatuloy ang pagmamaneho ng sumingit na naman ang pinsan kong malandi.

"Ang ganda ng camera ni Tita. Saan niya binili?"tanong niya sa akin habang pinagtutuunan niya ng pansin ang mga button ng camera.

"Dude, don't touch that. It may be broke"sita ko naman

"Ito naman. Anyway, nakausap ko na ang landlady sa isang apartment malapit sa school and pwede ka ng lumipat doon anytime"aniya

"Thanks, couz"tipid kong tugon

"Are you sure with this? Did you even tell Tito about it?"tanong niyang bigla.

"Yes, and I will" matagal ko na rin naman gusto umalis sa bahay dahil wala akong makukuhang sagot doon kapag doon lang ako titira. I have lot of question in my mind that supposedly answered by now.

"Why so sudden? You know your Dad will declined it, right?"

"I know that too. But he can't just lock me in the house forever. Nicole is free from what her responsibility is, while I'm taking it. I'm not a selfish brother and that's the best for her anyway, but I can't find myself in that house"

"Oh, wanna try some fun after the dinner?"

I glared on him. Here he goes again. Last time we go from what he say 'fun' we almost got caught by our Mom. I think it's in kinder.

Nang makarating kami sa restaurant ay sinalubong kami ng ilang waiter doon at itinuro ang daan. I can hear some music behind the door and it makes me wonder. Who's singing in there? She/ he must be a good singer.

To my shock when I enter the room, I saw Bunnie wearing a high school uniform while singing in the stage. Shes actually like a high school student because of her height and also how she look. Nagtagpo ang aming mga tingin at tinugunan ko lang iyon ng isang ngiti. She do the same but it feels like there is wrong about the smile she gave.

Lumapit ako kay Mama na tuwang tuwa sa pakikinig kay Bunnie. Narito din ang Mommy ni Lolo but I can't see his Dad maybe out of the country as always.

Binati ko sina Mama at Papa habang yung dalawa ay parang tinatamad sa kinakain. Hindi naman kasi nila hilig ang makihalubilo lalo na si Chris which is a geek.

"Ma, could you stop that?"sita ni Cristine kay Mama.

Mama is holding her camera while capturing Bunnie from stage. Wala naman akong masabi kay Mama dahil ugali niya talaga ang kumuha ng mga litrato. Even Papa can't do anything.
