Pumunta kami sa karinderya malapit sa bahay niya.
"Oh Charlie" bati sakanya ng nagbabantay
"Hi po" nakangiting sagot niya "upo ka na don, anong gusto mong kainin loves?"
"Kahit ano" sagot ko saka siya tinalikuran. Nasasanay na din ako sa kung ano anong tinatawag niya sakin kaya hinahayaan ko na lang.
Maganda ang set-up ng buong lugar, it can light up everyone's mood.
Maya-maya lang ay dumating na si Charlie at agad na tumitig sakin
"What?" Nakakunot noong tanong ko
"You thinking again?" He asked
"No" I answered saka umirap kaya natawa siya
"Masarap pagkain dito" sabi niya, nagmamayabang
"Ahh" maikling sagot ko
"Anong ahh?!" Pabulong na sigaw niya dahilan para matawa ako
"Gutom na ako" sabi ko kaya nawala yung inis sa muka niya at tumingin sa counter. Buti na lang ay dumating na din yung pagkain namin.
"Is this hipon?" I asked
"Oo, ayaw mo? Masarap yan!" Nakangiting sabi niya
Tumango lang ako at tinikman ang sabaw.
"Masarap nga" napangiti siya sa sinabi ko
"Yung hipon mas masarap, allergic ka ba diyan?" Tanong niya nang mapansin na hindi ko pa tinitikman ang hipon.
"Nope" kumuha ako ng isang hipon at nilagay sa plato ko
"Hindi ka marunong mag himay noh?" Natatawang komento niya sakin
"What?"
"Mayaman ka eh baka di ka marunong mag-himay" sabi niya na parang hindi sila ang may-ari ng buong islang to.
"Mayaman yung pamilya ko pero hindi ako ignorante" sagot ko saka inumpisahang himayin yung hipon.
Kumain lang kami ng kumain at sobrang nabusog ako sa hipon na binili niya.
"Ang sarap noh?" Tanong niya pagbalik namin sa bahay niya
"Oo" maikling sagot ko
"Dami mo ngang nakain eh grabe ka" he looked at me with so much amusement in his eyes "Takaw mo pala?"
"No, ngayon lang ako kumain ng ganon kadami"
"Ahh kaya tingting ka eh noh?" He asked that offensive question, innocently.
"Sakto lang ang katawan ko" I glared at him
"Sakto yan sayo? Sino nagsabi?"
"Mom"
"What did your mom said?" He asked
"My mom have this body standard that she set for me. I have my food diet and scheduled work-outs. She said that it will help me look classy in front of everyone if my body looks fit." I explained to him.
"You know, I used to be very fat when I was a kid. I mean, not very but I'm fat. And my mom hated me for that." Dagdag ko pa
"Eh?"
"She often told me that all I do was to eat that's why I'm fat and ugly. She doesn't want an ugly duckling in her family even my dad, so they forced me to stop eating. They'll lock me up in my room the whole day with only water on my side table"
