The Star

Kinabukasan...

It's already 8:20 am. Dawin said he will pick us up before 9. Maaga rin gumising si Zhoey, nauna siyang gumayak..

"Zach, sweetie" pagtawag ni mom.

"Yes, mom?" ako.

"Can you buy me these?" sabay pakita niya sa akin ng mga ingredients.

"Use your bike, you know your dad used the car at work." si Mom.

"Sure, Mom" pag sang-ayon ko.

"Kuya, can you buy me some clothes?" si Zhoey.

"Next time, baby. We don't have enough time, maybe later you can buy at the mall with Darwin."

Tiyak na ikagagalit niya ang pag banggit ko sa pangalan ni Darwin.

"What!? Really, kuya?" 'di makapaniwalang tanong niya. She glared at me.

Hindi nga ako nag kamali.

"Yes, baby. I trust him and please don't be mad at him instead be kind, okay?"

"Yes, kuya" she said lazily.

"Good." ani ko.

Agad akong pumunta sa pinaka malapit na supermarket. Pagkarating ko ay mabilis kong hinanap ang mga nakasulat sa listahan at 'saka mabilis na pumunta sa cashier.

Nang makauwi, mabilis akong naligo at gumayak. Pagkababa ko ay tinawag ako ni mom.

"Zach, sweetie. Dawin and Darwin are here!" sigaw ni mom.

Narinig ko ang masayang pagbati ng magkapatid.

"Buenos días señora" (magandang umaga, ginang) pagbati ni Dawin.

"Buenos días" (magandang umaga) ani Darwin.

"Buenos días también" si Mom. "Come in. You can call me Mommy Kelly or auntie."

Agad akong naglakad palapit sa kanila."Hey, bro" pagputol ko sa usapan nila. "Good mornin'."

"Zup, bro!" si Dawin.

"Zup" si Darwin.

"Te gusta el café?" (gusto ninyo ba ng kape) pag tanong ni Mom.

"Muchas gracias pero tenemos prisa." (maraming salamat ngunit nagmamadali kami) si Dawin.

" 'tá." (sige) ani Mom.

"We need to go, Mom." i kissed her forehead.

"Okay. Take care. Take care of Zhoey, sweetie." habilin niya.

I smiled. "Of course, Mom." 

"Behave there, Zhoey."

"Yes, Mom." sagot ni Zhoey.

"Drive safely, Dawin." si mom.

Dawin smiled at mom.

"Si señora" (opo, ginang) si Dawin.

We got in the car. Dawin is the driver. Darwin was sitting in the passenger seat. Zhoey and i are next to each other in the back of the car.

Kumaway si Zhoey. "Bye, mom."

"Bye, Mom." paalam ko.

"Bye, sweetie." ani Mom.

"Adiós señora" (paalam po, ginang) ani ni Dawin.
