"Bango bango naman ni Baby Bear!" Panay ang panlalambing at pakikipaglaro ko kay Braver. I kept giving him soft kisses as I placed him on my lap. He kept on giggling like he's enjoying every second of attention kaya naman sobra rin akong natuwa. Di bale nang magmukhang tanga kaka-baby talk at wacky face.
"Kawawa naman ang isa diyan, hindi pinapansin," sambit ni Silver habang nakaupo sa sahig, kumakain ng pancakes at nakatutok sa pinapanood na cartoons.
"Sino?" Braylee asked, looking at the TV, quite confused. She was on the floor as well, sitting next to Silver. Even if Braylee was watching TV, her hands were busy giving her dogs some belly rubs — a gorgeous German Shepherd and lovely Golden Retriever.
Napasulyap ako kay Magno na nakaupo sa dulo ng mahabang sofa kung saan din ako nakaupo. Nakabusangot ito habang nakatingin sa TV, parang nababagot. Bigla itong lumingon sa akin. As our eyes met he suddenly smiled.
"Ano?" tanong ko.
"Saan?" Natatawang lumingon si Braylee sa amin.
"Kailan?" tanong ni Silver, eyes still glued on the TV.
"Paano?" Denver's unsure voice blared from the speaker above us. Wait what the fuck, has he been keeping tabs on us the entire time?
"Masisiraan na yata ako ng ulo rito," Magno heaved a deep sigh as he threw his back on the sofa, gone was the smile on his face. He looked so done with us.
"Matagal nang sira ang ulo mo, Magno," I couldn't help but joke.
"Sira kagaya ng laman... ikaw," Magno said with a blank expression and winked.
Nagsigawan sina Braylee at Silver, pati na si Denver. Both Denver and Silver made snide and disgusted remarks while Braylee clapped like a seal while giggling like a fool. Nagulat naman ang mga aso sa ingay namin kaya nagtahulan ang mga ito. Poor Baby Bear, on the other hand, looked so confused and clueless about what's going on.
"Kadiri si Tito Magno mo no?" Pambe-baby talk ko na lamang kay Braver, baka kasi mabatukan ko pa si Magno dahil sa mga pinagsasabi niya.
"Crush mo naman?" Pagak siyang humalakhak.
"Oh!!!" The three idiots reacted in unison.
Ako naman ang napahalakhak at bahagyang napatingala. "Nilaglag ka na ni Reika! Crush mo ako noong elementary! No wonder you kept picking on me!"
"Ohhhhh!" The three idiots reacted once again.
"Eh sa hindi mo ako pinapansin noon," he argued. I couldn't dare to look at his face kaya sa TV lang ako nakatingin. Gusto ko nang magmura pero nagpipigil lang talaga ako dahil sa batang karga ko. And Denver might kick me out so...
"Hindi ka kasi cute kagaya ni Baby Bear, 'di ba Baby?" Itinuon ko na lamang ang atensyon ko kay Oso. I continued to baby-talk and shower him with light kisses again, making him giggle in delight. God! This kid has the cutest toothless grin!
