When Playboy Meets The Odd

EPILOGUE

"Monsy! Huwag kang lumayong bata ka!" I ran from Yaya. Nilingon ko siya at nakita siyang pagod na tumatakbo sakin.

"Mag-pplay lang ako, Yaya! I want to go there!" I said and pointed the near playgournd.

Nilingon ko muli si Yaya. Ang bagal niya naman. Pauuwiin na ako ni Daddy!

I ran faster. I reached the playground's entrance and looked back.

Nasaan na si Yaya?

I looked at the people walking on the park. She's not here. She's nowhere to be seen.

Bahala na nga!

Pumasok ako sa playground. I ran fast to go to nearest swing when suddenly a small girl bump to me.

"Ouch!" She said with a small voice. Natumba siya sa damuhan.

"Oops, sorry!" I said and go to the swing.

I immediately sat on one of it and play by myself. Tinignan ko ulit ang entrance but there's still no Yaya Tasya entering the way.

"Hoy!" A girl suddenly screamed at me. Tinignan ko siya. She's with other three girls. Kasama sa mga ito ang batang natumba kanina.

I laughed at the sight of them. "Are you the teletubbies?" I said laughing.

The girl looked at me annoyed. "Hoy! Magsorry ka sa kalaro namin!" She said with so much anger.

"Oo nga! Tignan mo oh, pagagalitan siya ng Yaya niya!" Sabi pa ng isa.

"I don't care." I said and shrugged my shoulder.

Pinandilatan nila ako ng mata, when suddenly a smaller girl barged from one of them and stopped my swing.

"Hey, you bad boy! Say sorry to Marie! Look at what you did! Ang dumi na ng damit niya dahil sayo!" She said in small angry voice.

"I already said my sorry!" Sabi ko. Nagsalubong ang dalawang maliit niyang kilay. Her cheeks are so red. She looked like a living apple.

"You don't say sorry like that!" Maarte niyang tugon. Dumako ang tingin ko sa mga kaibigan niya and they're glaring at me while crossing their arms.

"How can I say sorry then?" I asked. I let out a sigh. I just want to play here at peace but these teletubbies friends won't let me play.

"Follow me." She said and walk away. I looked at her friends and they all nodded.

I followed the child. She stopped in front of a cotton candy store. "Buy us, that." She suddenly said.

"What?" I asked dumbfoundedly. She looked at me raising her brow.

"You didn't understand what I said? Sabi ko bilhan mo kami niyan! How old are you? Don't you go to school already?" Banat niya.

Tss. What a small maldita!

"I understand what you said! Pero bakit ko kayo bibilhan niyan? Kayo ba ang natulak ko?" Banat ko naman.

She looked at me shocked.

Oh ha!

"But we're her friends!" She suddenly said. Inis siyang napasabunot sa buhok niya. "Just buy us!" She said and pulled me towards the vendor.

"Bibili ka hijo?" The guy asked. Nilingon ko ang bata and now she's crossing her arms.

Tss. Ang liit naman ng braso!

I took my one hundred peso bill from my pocket. "Can I have four of that?" I said and the vendor immediately gave me four. Kinuha ko ang sukli at binigay sa kanila ang cotton candy.

"Thank you! You're nice naman pala!" Sabi pa ng batang maldita. Her friends ran away as soon as I gave them the food.

Pumunta ako sa swing. I sat on it pero nagulat ako nang nakasunod pa rin sa akin ang batang to.

"Why are you still here?" I asked.

"Uhm." She looked up thinking for an answer.

"I already gave you the cotton candy so please let me play!" I said a bit annoyed.

The girl looked at me seriously. "Okay!" She suddenly said and pulled me from the swing. "I'll let you play!"

She pulled me to the slide. "Go play!" Aniya. I looked at her confused. "Just go play!" Inis niyang sabi at tinulak ako.

"Tabi nga! Tabi!" Pinagtutulak niya palayo ang ibang bata sa slides to make way for me. "Go!"

I followed what she said and try the slide. I slide like about five times before she pulled me again.

"Hold that!" She said and make me grabbed the metal bar. "That's a monkey bar." She said introducing me the name.

"Oh, okay." I said and climb on it.

"Tara dito tayo sa monkey bar." I heard a girl said to her playmates.

"No!" The small girl suddenly said. "Don't go here! Go to the swing!" She said and I saw her pushed the kids out of the monkey bar.

I jumped as soon as I finish climbing the ladder. "Bakit ka nang-aaway?" I asked the girl. "You're too small to have a fight. Huwag kang mang-away!" I said.

She rolled her eyes. "I don't think they can fight me." She confidently said and took a bite of the cotton candy.

"Now, what's next?" Aniya. She looked at the shaky horses. "Go seat there!" Aniya at hinila muli ako.

She sat at the other horse so I followed what she's doing. I watched her finished the cotton candy.

"Why don't you play with your playmates?" I asked her. She shooked her head and munch the food. She's wearing a pink dress and it's now dirty.

"I don't like them." She said. "I just like Marie but you pushed her." She said and gave me glare again. I frowned from her reaction.

"But you already said  your sorry, so, it's fine now." She shrugged her shoulder.

"How old are you?" I asked. She's too small. She looks like a baby but from the way she talks, I don't think she's that young.

"I am four years old." She said. "Ikaw?" Tanong niya.

"I'm seven." She nodded from what I said.

"You're old." Aniya.

"Monsy! Ikaw na bata ka!" Nilingon ko ang nagsalita. Yaya with sweats dripping on her forehead ran towards me. She catched her breathe and looked at me. "Hindi ba sinabi ko walang takbuhan?! Mahina si Yaya doon eh!" Aniya.

"Sorry, Yaya. I just really wanted to play here." I said. Pagod niya akong tinignan.

"Oh, I don't see my Yaya either." Said the little girl at luminga sa paligid.

"Naku, kayo talagang mga bata kayo. Takbo kasi kayo ng takbo!" Yaya Tasya said.

The girl rise from the horse. Bumaba na din ako.

"I'll just find my Yaya! Bye!" She said.

"Okay, bye!" I waved my hands on her and she waved her small hands too.

"Kalaro mo? Ang liit nun ha?" Yaya Tasya asked.

"Well, she's nice." I said. Yaya smiled at me and took her towels. She dabbed the towel on my face.

"Hey!" Napalingon ako. The small girl suddenly ran back to me. She pulled me and said something on my ear. "Let's get married when we grow up." She whispered.

I laughed from what she said. "Okay." I answered her. She smiled at me showing her small cute teeth.

"Okay! Bye, then!" She said and waved her hand while running.

"Wait! What's your name?!" I said and tried to stopped her but she's already far.

"Eliese!" Another Yaya entered the playground with sweats. She ran towards the little girl.

"Yaya Soling!" The small girl shouted and the old woman went to her.

Oh, I see. Her name is Eliese, huh? See you in the future, Eliese.
