Birthday

"So let's divide. Kayong dalawa ni Xy tapos kaming dalawa ni Dale. Doon ka na rin sumakay kay Xy..." Deila suggested.

"Bakit doon pa? Dito nalang, Ate." alma ni Deil.

"Xy will be bored, Dale. Mas mabuti kung nandoon si Nella."

Dale's brows furrowed more. "Nella is not an entertainer! What the hell..."

Umirap si Deila. "Pagtatalunan pa ba natin 'to, Jokto Dale?"

"Doon na ako, Dale," sabi ko at nauna ng lumabas. Sumunod rin si Xy. Binuksan ko ang pinto at pumasok.

I felt the air of awkwardness when I get inside. We're not even close, hell! Why did I agree to Deila, anyway?

I was thinking of a topic so it will be less awkward, but I guess I don't have to because Deila suddenly called.

"Deila," I answered.

"Kayo nalang dito sa naunang Pre-school. Okay lang?"

I sighed. Looks like I'll be in an awkward situation all day. "Okay..."

"Hello! I'm ate Nella and this is Kuya Xy..." pagpapakilala ko. "My cousin, Ate Deila would like to give you something." I said as I showed them my iPad where Deila's picture is in.

"What gift?" tanong ng isang bata.

"I want a toy!" another kid said.

I chuckled. "It's a pet..." I said and showed them the rabbit.

They actually liked it.

Minanipula ko ang iPad at kinuhanan sila ng video.

"What did you called me?" Xy asked.

"Xy? Why?"

"Nothing," he said and looked away. His narrow nose was more defined because of his move.

Bumilis ulit ang tambol ng puso ko. What is this?

"Why didn't you record the whole program?" he asked.

"Deila doesn't like it because she wanted to keep it lowkey. And besides, if you want to help, is it really necessary to brag it?"

He nodded, I see a glint of amusement in his eyes.

Nang matapos ay napagpasyahan na naming umuwi. Wala si Mommy at Ella nang dumating kami. I wonder where they are.

"Shopping..." wika sa akin ni Tita Dail na para bang nababasa ang iniisip ko.

"They're unbelievable! Nabankrupt na may gana pang mag shopping?" Deila sighed violently.

"Kuya handed them a small amount of money," ani Tita.

"What?" Deila exclaimed.

"If it's only a small amount, then in no time, mauubos din 'yon lalo na't wala pang trabaho si Mommy."

"Don't worry hija, we will discuss that later on dinner."

True to Tita's words, she really opened up the topic while we're eating dinner.

"Fiona, when will you decide to go to work?" si Tita Dail. Kasalukuyan kaming naghahapunan.

"For now, I have no plans." Deila coughed hearing Mom's words. But somehow, I don't believe Mommy because she's hiding her smirk.

Deila raised her hand. Tita nodded. "Pano po yung pang matrikula ni Ella, yung iba pang kailangan niyo? Tapos nagshopping pa po kayo kanina. I know it's a little bit personal pero wala po kayong balak na lumipat? I mean, hindi naman sa pinapaalis na kayo ni Nella, but. You know, you have to work po..." Deila's mouth said that like a machine gun.
