Chapter 40

"Really?" Anni asked excitedly.

"Yes, this lunch we'll go there." Then, she jump joyfully. The boys just roll their eyes at her.

"Okay, I'll prepare now." At bumalik na siya sa loob ng kwarto namin.

"Its too early to prepare," Ken said, but Anni is already inside our room.

"She's very excited," Chris said, then we laugh.

Nang papunta kami sa mansion nina mommy ay tahimik lang si Anni, but she's smiling, abot hanggang tenga.

"She's creepy," Ken commented.

"Hayaan 'nyo na." Sabi ko sa kanila.

Hindi naman kami napansin ni Anni, maybe, preoccupied with her thoughts.

"We're near," i announced.

Hindi naman mapakali si Anni. The boys are frowning, i just laugh at them.
I miss their craziness. Then, i saw Mom was waiting outside our house.

"Mom, this is my friends from New York," Mom smiled at them, "This is Chris.. Ken.. and Anni." I introduce them when we got out from the SUV.

"Oh, Hello. I'm Vien's Mom, just call me Tita or Aunt Kat." Anni was smiling ear to ear.

"Nice meeting you, Madam." Chris greet.

"Just.. Aunt." Ngumiti lang si Chris.

"Nice to meet you too, Tita Kat." Medyo na gulat naman si Mom sa bati ni Ken.

"Are you half filipino?" Ken nodded.

"Anni.." tawag ko rito, dahil hindi pa ito bumabati, kanina pa ito nakangiti, hindi ba siya na ngangalay?

"Mom!" Biglang niyakap ni Anni si Mom.

"Oh!" She's shocked and confused.

"Anni!" Sabay na saway ni Ken at Chris.

Natawa lang ako, "Sorry Mom, she's just like that.."

"What?" Tanong ni Anni, ng kumalas ito sa yakap at hinarap ang dalawa.

"You're embarrassing." Chris said.

"Shes my best friend's Mom, so.. I think she's my Mom too." Nginitian pa nito si Mom.

"Sorry, Tita Kat." Sabay na sabi ni Ken at Chris.

"No, it's okay." Mom chuckle. "Let's just go to the dining room. Nauna na si Mom mag lakad, sumunod naman kami.

"I like you mansion, a medieval style." Ken comment, while were walking on the hallway.

"Well, it's pretty old, sa lolo ko pa ng lolo ng lolo ko." The boys laugh.

"What?" Anni asked confused. "Maybe i should start learning your language." She said to me.

"Well, if you want, then.."

Nang makarating kami sa dining area at na upo na kami sa long table.

"So.. what's make the three of you come here?" Mom ask the three.

"Visiting, Vien, po." Sagot ni Ken.

"We want to explore Philippines too!" Masayang sagot ni Anni.

"Anni!" Saway ng dalawang boys, Anni is too happy, she's very loud, today.

Mom just laugh at them.

When we finish eating, nagpunta kami sa pool side. Nagkwekwentuhan sila sa may lamesa habang ako ay nakaupo sa pool area, nakalublob lang ang binti ko sa pool. I heard them laughing about our memories in New York.
