"Ate! Halika maligo tayo!" Sigaw na sabi ni Oli na naglalaro sa tubig dagat
Ngumisi ako at umiling "ikaw nalang Oli! Wala akong dalang damit!" Sigaw ko din pabalik
Nasa dagat kami ngayon at kasama nami si Mr. Fernando, na nakabantay sa di kalayuan
Bat kailangan pa ng bantay? Anong akala niya sa amin bata?
Pero bata si Oli, Liz
Ket na! Andito naman ako! Marunong kaya ako mag Virtual arts!
"Ate!" Sabi ni Oli na nagpagulat sa akin
"B-bakit?"
"Ang....l-lawom....ng......hunainiisip... mo...po" sabi niya, putol-putol
Nahihirapan siya mag tagalog
"Ang lalim kasi hindi mababaw" sabi ko na wala sa sarili
Tinignan niya ako ng puno ng pagtataka
"Ha? nag change? Sabi ni nanay eh.... kapag daw ang usa ka tawo ga hinuktok sa kawalan po ay malalim daw po ang iniisip at hindi mababaw"
I stared at her....
5 minutes had passed, still....
10 minutes.....
15......
"Ate!"
"Hmm?"
"Dumi ba mukha ko?" She asked and wiped her face with his shirt
"No"
"Then why are you staring then?" She asked
Gulat naman akong napalingon sa kanya at ganun din siya
"Did you just?...."
"Yes!!" She exclaimed
She jumped around while shouting "yes! I know how to speak english!"
I calmed her down
"So what if you knew how to speak english?" I asked curiously
"Edi puyde na ako mag trabaho sa laing nasod!"
"Uhm Oli? Can you please stop telling visaya word? Because I don't understand anything" I said
"Oh! Sorry!"
"So what if you knew how to speak english?" I asked again
"Edi makapag trabaho na ako sa ibang bansa!" She said in tagalog
"So... where do you want to work pala?" I asked
"Kung asa ka galing" she said. Still saying visaya word, tho I understand... slayt!
"New York"
"Ha?"
"New York ako galing" paglilinaw ko
Tumango tango naman siya
"Anong itsura ng New Yurk ate?"
Natawa ako ng bahagya ng sabihin niya ang salitang 'York' ng 'yurk'
I pinched her cheeks and looked at the horizon
"Buildings. Cars. Smoke. Peoples. Lights. Freedom"
"Hmm" she said and leaned on me
"Kapag nasa city ka! Buildings are everywhere! Cars are everywhere! Parang lahat ng tao ng dun ay may sasakyan. Smokes from cigarettes, cars and factories. "
