Dayshin Veronica
"Island of Amantes. Hay! Na miss ko 'to, hon." I saw my Dad's wide smile habang nakatingin sa dagat.
"Yes, honey. Dito na buo sa beach na 'to ang mga ala-ala," my Mom answered.
"Daye and Kayn. Lagi kayong sasama kay Yaya Agnes at Yaya Sabel, okay? 'Wag kayong pumupunta na mag isa sa kung saan-saan. Understand, baby?" Kayn and I nodded as a gesture that we understand our mom.
Pumunta kami sa room namin na nai-book na ni Daddy bago pa kami makapunta rito. Nag suot ako ng long sleeves na pang swimming habang si Kayn ay sinamahan muna ni Yaya Agnes na matulog. Kasama ko naman ay si Yaya Sabel at dumiretso kami sa cottage namin. Mag bu- boodle fight kami bago lumangoy.
"Dayshin Veronica." Gulat akong napalingon kay Daddy habang pasikreto kong kinukuha ang gummy bears sa bag ko. Pinagbabawalan nila akong kumain no'n dahil mabubulok daw ang mga ngipin ko. Ngumuso ako at bumalik nalang sa tabi ni Yaya.
"Daddy, can we swim after eating?" I asked.
"Okay, baby. Pero lagi mo'ng aalalahanin ang mga bilin namin sa'yo. H'wag malikot, okay?"
"Yes, Dad!" I salute to him with a sparkling eyes. He just laughed at me.
"Daye, tama na!! Hahahaha!" tawa ni Yaya habang naglalaro kami sa dagat at binabasa ko siya ng tubig.
"Yaya, look I can swim na," I proudly said to Yaya Sabel.
She gave me a genuine smile and clapped her hands to show how proud she is to me. "Ang galing galing mo na, Daye!"
"Can we play sand?" I requested.
"Sige, baby. Tara do'n."
"Daye, dito ka lang ha? Pupuntahan ko lang si Yaya Agnes," Yaya Sabel said.
"Yes, Yaya. Pagbalik mo may sand castle na ako!" Pagmamalaki ko sakanya. She smiled at me and waved her hands before she left me alone.
I was just playing with my small bucket and small shovel when a little boy sat at my side.
"Hi," the kid said.
It's kinda weird because he's talking to me. Mom said that it's bad to talk with strangers but since he's just a kid, why not?
"What's your name?" he asked.
"I'm Dayshin Veronica Fhluria, 10 years old. Lives in—" I could see him pouting so I stopped my introduction. He looks like a duck.
"That's such a long name, huh." He rolled his eyes. "I want to call you Veron."
