Loving my Ex

Chapter 26: Jollibee 2.0

POV ni Paris

"Ma, we're going!" I shouted to mom as I and Lucas headed to the car.

"Umuwi kayo ng maaga ha! Ingat kayo." I heard her say as I start the engine.

Papunta kami ngayon ni Lucas sa mall. Maggrocery at ipapasyal ko sya. Quality time na namin yung pagpunta sa grocery at pamamasyal sa mall every Saturday since busy ako palagi sa office pag weekdays.

"Mom! I wanna buy a helicopter." He said while I drive out the village. He's sitting beside me in the passenger seat.

"Where will you place a helicopter? We don't even have a helipad at home!" I joked.

He chuckled. "Mom! The remote controlled one!"

"Anak, di ba mama told you, hindi dapat palaging binibili ang gusto. Kakabili mo lang ng remote controlled truck last week di ba?" sabi ko sa kanya habang nakatingin pa rin sa kalsada at nagdadrive.

"Hindi naman po para sakin mommy e." I took a glance at him.

He still doesn't speak tagalog fluently. Nasanay kasi sya sa Germany sa mga tito ko ng english. Halos one year pa lang kami sa Pilipinas. Ayan tuloy baluktot ang dila sa tagalog.

"E para kanino baby?" Para kanino nga ba? Alangan namang sakin?

"Daniel. Ate Jill's brother. He was at our house yesterday. We played then he told me he wants to have a helicopter. Pero sabi daw ng mommy nya wala na silang food when he buys one." hirap na hirap sya sa haba ng mga sinabi nya that he had to take a deep breath after.

The moment he said those words, It was confirmed. I made a good job raising him. Proud na proud ako sa anak ko.

I just smiled at him.

When we reached the mall, we headed straight to the grocery.

We also went to the toy store to buy his gift for Daniel.

After buying supplies -- take note, half of those were Lucas' chocolates. Isa sa mga namana nya sakin ay ang hilig sa chocolates. --- we headed to Jollibee to have lunch.

"What do you want baby?" I asked him after we found a vacant table.

"Jolly spaghetti, chicken joy, fries, and jolly hotdog please." Sabi nya na akala mo.ay umoorder sa waiter. Parang matanda magsalita. Ang cute!

"Hati na ba tayo don?" I asked him.

"Mom! I got hungry buying all those groceries. Buy your own please." he said frowning. "And oh, one sundae please." Di ko na napigilang matawa. Ang takaw. Manang mana sya sa ama nya.

I stood up and leaned to him saying, "Don't talk to strangers, okay?" he nodded before I go to the counter.

Someone's POV

Pagpasok ko sa Jollibee, napasimangot agad ako dahil walang vacant table. Nagccrave na talaga ko ng Jolly spaghetti, chicken joy, fries at jolly hotdog. Saka yung sundae!

I looked around the store wishing for a vacant table. Until I eyed one. Agad akong tumakbo papunta don at naupo. Iiwan ko muna dito yung gamit ko para makaorder ako. Wala naman sigurong kukuha nito.

"Ehem," I heard a liitle voice said.

I turned to him and asked, "Yes?"

"That's my seat." I frowned. Bata ba to o unano? Pero ang cute nya naman para maging unano. E, ang smart magsalita e!

"Excuse me? I am the one sitting here. So technically, it's my seat." sagot ko. Kung di lang cute to, nako. Ganitong nagugutom na ko e.

"Kuya!" he called a crew. "Di ba, I was the one sitting here? I told you to make bantay here because I gotta pee!"

"Ay opo sir. Nauna po sya jan e." the crew answered the he left.

Wala akong nagawa, tumayo ako at naupo sya. Pero dalawa naman yung upuan kaya I told him, "Di ba pwedeng share na lang tayo?"

"No. I'm on a date." he answered. His arms on his chest. Nagulat naman ako.

"Date!? But you're too young!" i said.

"Can't I have a date with my mom?"

"Oh." yun na lang yung nasabi ko and then naglakad na ko paalis.

"Hey, mister!" little dude called.

"You can have that seat, there oh!" he told me, nakanguso sya dun sa table na three tables apart from his table. (Ang daming table sa sentemce na yon. Haha.)

Nagliwanag naman yung mata ko upon seeing the table.

"Thank you!" I told him.

"Maliit na bagay." He said. Then he smiled.

Ang bait nung bata na yon a. Ang gaang ng loob ko sakanya.

POV ni Paris

"Baby, nagtake out na lang ako ng foods. Sa bahay na lang tayo kumain. Tumawag kasi si mama e. Tita Mica is at home. Okay lang?" I asked Lucas.

"No problem mom." he smiled.

I gave him his sundae para di matunaw then we headed straight to the exit.
