CHAPTER FIVE
Wrong Recipe

Tumatakbo lang kami ngayon ni Tutti pauwi ng bahay. Nakabili na kami ng tablet, mabuti na lang at nandoon si Mom kasama si Dad at gumagawa na siya ng bagong plot.

Wala rin doon ang original sequel ng story kundi ay nasunog na siya sa isang bin dito sa kwarto niya.

"Ma'am! We just saw Machiatto at the Boba Village." Nanlaki naman ang nata ni Mommy sa narinig niya.

"Maybe she had escaped after I burned out the book—" hindi napatapos ni Mommy ang sasabihin niya nang sumulpot si Mocha sa harap namin.

"Kuya, Tutti, I made another plan. You have to attend the school's Christmas party and as what Tutti told me, she knows how to dance and sing—"

"No, Mocha! Maybe Machiatto might find us. He had been escaped from the book."

"What?"

"Yes! Maybe this is not the right time for Tutti to attend the party."

"But—"

"It's okay, Mocha. I will attend at your party. I just feel uncomfortable this time. The happiness that I feel before just got weaken."

"But Machiatto was somewhere out there—"

"No, Taro. He's just making people's Christmas boring and I should be there at the party. I don't let him ruin the Christmas we had."

Kinuha na niya yung hoodie ko at kinuha ang kamay ni Mocha at umalis.

"Mom?"

"Maybe, we can handle this with your father right now."

"Now go, son. Tutti needs you." Sabi ni Dad kaya kinuha ko ulit ang isa ko pang hoodie at isinuot.

Hinabol ko sila pero mukhang nauna na sila sa pgsakay kaya nagpara na ako ng taxi at dinala ako ngayon doon sa school nina Mocha.

Pero kahit nasa labas palang ay rinig na rinig ko ang away sa loob ng gym ng school nila. Wow, this is not great!

Nang makapasok na ako doon ay hindi ko makita si Tutti o di kaya naman si Mocha.

"Watch out boy!" Naplingon naman ako at nakita yung lalaking akmang tatapunan na ako ng cake kaso nakaiwas ako.

What the hell is this? Bakit may Food Fight dito? It must be nagcecelebrate sana sila. Pero bakit?

The sound suddenly played. Nasa stage na si Tutti nakatayo doon ay may hawak na microphone.

There are presents underneath your family tree
All the streets are filled with shining lights

Hindi ko naman mapigilang mapngiti nang mag umpisa na siyang sumayaw doon sa loob. Agad naman niyang nakuha ang attention ng lahat.

There's a party going down this Christmas Eve
And DJ Santa's sleighing it all night

Ho, ho, ho
Shake up the happiness
Wake up the happiness
Shake up the happiness
It's Christmas time
