"let's go" sabi niya and gave me a peck on the lips "ano nakain mo?" Sabi ko nung pinaandar ang motor and she even rested her head on my back "wala lang" i heard her say softly. We rode home hindi ko binilisan ang pag andar kasi wala nga akong helmet and ang sarap ng yakap ni Dawn eh. Believe it or not every stop light pinaglalaruan ko kamay niyang naka yakap sakin, this day couldn't get any better I thought. I was smiling hindi na ata maalis tong smile sa sa mga labi ko kahit mausok or maalikabok nakangiti ako eh.
We got home and I parked sa garage nauna siyang bumaba but she's waiting for me. I stood up and faced her para tanggalin yung helmet nakatingin lang siya saakin with a soft expression on her face "poging pogi ka na ata ngayon saakin" sabi ko habang inaayos hair niya kasi medyo gumulo dahil sa helmet "ha eww no" sagot niya "nanaginip ka kanina iba sinabi mo" i said while cupping her face, she was holding the sides of my hand "osige ano sinabi ko" she said while smiling. Nako kung alam mo lang ano sinabi mo sakin isip isip ko "secret" sabi kong tumatawa
Ganon padin pwesto namin "sabihin mo"she said na nanggigigil "ayaw ko" sabi kong pang asar "aba aba Richard and Dawn, I'm glad you're both doing well" napalingon kami kay dad. Inakbayan ko si Dawn "opo tito we're good" sabi ni Dawn and napatingin ako sakanya she's smaller than me kaya di niya alam "saan kayo galing?" Dad said "sa market dad, I bought some things lang" "anong some madami kaya" sabi ni Dawn na natatawa "kasi yung iba don hindi ko kinukuha binabayaran ko nakang din tulong nalang sakanila" i said and held her hands and we started walking
"Talaga?" "Oo why not" i pinched her nose "hoy baka nakalimutan nyo andito ako" dad said "anyway let's go in and talk about your papa's birthday" sabi niya kay Dawn "sandali lang pala Richard kausapin muna kita" dad said and nagkatinginan kami ni Dawn. Pero she nodded as if to say una na ako and so I did din, "bakit dad?" I said and lumapit "anak, so far" he paused "i like what you're doing with the city and your relationship with Dawn" he said with a smile "nako dad syempre no, I might be a disappointment pero di ko lalahatin" I said joking "no anak I'm serious, keep it up" he said and patted my back tapos naglakad na leaving me in the garage
Dad never really tells me he loves me pero simple talks like that lets me know na he cares for me. We went into the house si Von nakita ko nagswiswimming si mom and tita naman umiinom ng tea sa may pool area andoon din si tito nasa pool area with Dawn kumakain silang dalawa ng lanzones, ay nakuha na pala ni manong. "Richard" Von shouted "oh?" lumapit ako sa pool "di ka ba magprapractice?" "Para sa sportsfest?" "Malamang" sabi nito sabay tawa "ay sige ba ano race tayo ngayon?" I challenged him
Nagsilapitan naman sila tito nung narinig yun "osige may prize sa winner" sabi niya "oh sige sige" sabi ko at pumunta sa may banyo para kuhain trunks ko "ano premyo pa?" Tanong ni Von na nasa labas na ng pool "aba malay ko sainyong dalawa ano ba gusto niyo?" "Nako papa yan si Von for sure another car" sabi ni Dawn "ang mahal non Greg wag ka papayag" sigaw ni tita Cora natawa naman ako "okay sige ganito nalang sino manalo dito eh pag dating sa sportsfest may edge sa chosen sport" sabi ko "pano yun?" Von asked "like pag napili ko basketball kunyare lagi ko maiisteal yung bola from you, pag badminton di mo tatamaan iba so I can get points, so on and so forth"
"Ah ganon ba sige deal" nagkamay kami ni Von "oh ilang lap ba?" Tanong ni mom "200 meters" sabi ni Dad. Grabe naman si dad kala mo kaya niya i swim yun "osige sige" sabi namin ni Von. "Ready na kayo, ako mag whistle" sabi ni dad. Aba naging family affair pa tong race namin. So ayun before mag whistle si dad kinindatan ko muna si Dawn and she sticked her tongue out. After hearing dad's whistle nag swim kami ni Von naririnig ko silang lahat nag checheer pati nga mga kasama namin sa bahay nakisali nadin. Ayon in the end nanalo ako kay Von. "Madaya ka eh" sabi niya "bakit?" I asked "gamay mo pool" sabi niya while laughing "nako wag kang sore loser anak" sabi ni tita.
Nung natapos yung race eh naisip nila na mag grill kami so ayun dahil madami nga pinamile namin sa palengke eh niluto namin ang iba,Sinama narin namin syempre mga kasama sa bahay so para kaming may party sa may pool area. I am now wearing my shirt tas trunks and kausap ko si tito "Mr mayor may alam ka bang hotel na pwede pag celebratan ng birthday ko?" He asked "ay opo naman tito" "meron yan pa" sabat ni Dawn at mukhang alam ko na ano sasabihin nito so i sighed "he has this friend named Carla" ayun na nga
"ayun nice kailangan na siya makausap para sa birthday ko sa suusnond na linggo" he said happily "nako tito sige i try ko po" I said na kumakamot sa ulo "kaya na ni Richard yan" Dawn said and even patted my stomach ay abs pala "ah...oo hehe" I said. Ito magsisimula nanaman siya okay na kami kanina eh, Noong natapos na ang party ay pumunta na kami sa kanya kanyang kwarto namin. I took a shower kasi nga nag race kami ni Von ayaw ko naman tabihan si Dawn na amoy chlorine ako, dapat fresh palagi.
