Bringing Daddy Home | Orig Ver.

Chapter 7

Sabado ngayon kaya't napagdesisyunan ni Jennie na lumabas kasama ang anak niya para makapag-bonding sila. Lately naging busy kasi siya na halos hindi na sila makapag-bonding ni Liam.

She brought Liam to the park at nagpicnic sila sa ilalim ng isang puno. Silang dalawa lang with kimbap, samgyeopsal, kimchi, ice cream at kung ano-ano pa.

"After this where'd you want us to go baby?" tanong ni Jennie sa anak.

"How about arcade mommy?"

She acted as if she was thinking and smile.

"That is a good idea. Come on, help mommy keep all these and let's go"

Niligpit nila ang mga gamit saka bumalik sa kotse nila nakapark sa gilid ng kalsada. As soon as they both are settled, they drove off to the mall.

May arcade kasi sa mall syempre tsaka after nila maglaro, gusto din ni Jennie mag-shopping ng mga gamit nila ni Liam.

"Mom let's try that dance thingy!"

Tinuro ni Liam ang DDR machine.

"You know how to dance baby?" tanong ni Jennie sa anak because she have never seen Liam dance before.

"Yes mom of course"

Wow, she was taken a back. She didn't expect she still have a lot of things yet to know about her son. First about the photography interest and now about dancing.

It seems like Liam has still a lot to tell to his mom.

"Okay, let's see"

Kung hindi niyo naman tatanungin, marunong din si Jennie sumayaw kasi nasali siya noon sa cheering squad nila nung high school.

Naghulog na sila ng token sa machine at nagsimula na itong tumugtog. Nagsimula namang umindak ang mag-ina kasabay ng tugtog.

Ginagaya nila kung ano man ang lumalabas sa instruction and surprisingly magaling silang pareho. Jennie was just surprised kasi hindi niya inaakala na magaling pala ang anak niya sa pagsayaw. Mas magaling pa nga sa kanya si Liam.

While dancing, nagsimula silang pagtinginan ng mga tao kasi ang cute ng tandem nila. Ang sarap nilang tingnan habang nag-eenjoy sa pag-indak.

May mga nagbi-video nga pero binalewala nila iyon at nagpatuloy sa pagsayaw like their having a show down and they really are.

Nagulat nalang sila ng nagpalakpakan ang mga nanunuod sa kanila pagkatapos nilang sumayaw.

Nahihiyang nag-bow nalang si Jennie.

And the result? Liam won against Jennie.

"Wow, you were awesome back there. How did you learn how to dance?" namamanghang tanong ni Jennie sa bata.

"It was nothing mom. Actually I don't know. I was probably on 2nd grade when I watch dancers in school and I was surprised I was already dancing like them. It's like it was already in my body" the boy chuckled.

"Really? How come you didn't tell mommy about it?"

"Because you didn't ask mom" he chuckled again.

"You silly boy, I feel like there are still a lot of things that you're not telling me"

Liam just shrugged his shoulder. Pero sa totoo lang marami pa talaga at may pinagpaplanuhan si Liam na gawin na lingid sa kaalaman ni Jennie.

However, hindi pa iyon magawa ng bata kasi marami pa siyang kailangang malaman before he take a step on his plan.

"This is not yet over mom, let's play that claw thingy"

So they went to the claw machine and started playing with it.

Jennie was eager to get something inside that thing for his son but damn, kanina pa siya paulit-ulit wala parin siyang makuha.

Ganun din si Liam, he kept on trying pero wala din.

"Mom! This thing is cheating!" Asik ni Liam. Nafafrustrate na siya ih.

"Yeah, I think so too. Come on let's find another game. Our tokens will just be wasted on that stupid machine. It deserves it be thrown away!"

Iniwan nila ang claw machine ng wala manlang nakukuhang kahit isang prize. That's sad.

Ang dami nilang nilaro sa arcade hanggang sa magsawa sila and now they ended up in a singing booth. They're singing random songs and of course their favorite which is Stay by Blackpink.

After nila sa singing booth, lipat naman sila sa photobooth.

"Wacky!" ani Jennie saka nag-make face sa harap ng cam ganun din si Liam.

"Cute"

And they acted cute in front of the cam.

"Fierce"

Nagpafierce naman.

Ang cute ng resulta ng mga picture nila. They we're both satisfied.

Dalawang copies yun. Yung isang set syempre kay Jennie yung isa for Liam. Idinikit ng mag-ina ang mga pictures nila sa likod ng kanya-kanyang cellphones.

After sa arcade they decided na kumain muna. So they ate at a fastfood chain sa loob parin ng mall. And after that nag-shopping sila and they bought Liam's first ever cam.

Si Liam mismo ang pumili nun and he was really happy about it. Dahil masaya ang anak niya, Jennie was also happy. She kept smiling the whole day na magkasama sila ng anak niya.

"What would be your first shot using that camera of yours?" Jennie asked the kid.

"You mommy" Liam said and smiled at her.

"Really? Why me?"

"Because you're the prettiest subject mom"

"Aw, you're so sweet. Come here let mommy hug you"

The boy went closer to her and she hugged him tightly. Hindi niya talaga ma-imagine ang buhay niya na walang Liam.

"So mommy, pose right there and I'll take your photo" he instructed his mom as if his a professional photographer.

"Okay" Jennie chuckled and just did everything Liam told him.

Surprisingly, all the photos came out so well. The boy really have a great skills in photography at a young age.

Minsan naiisip nalang ni Jennie kung genius ba ang anak niya. Parang lahat nalang yata ng talent mayron si Liam ih.

Hindi niya nga alam kung san ba galing ang mga skills ni Liam na yun. Siya wala naman siyang interes sa photography, puro nga blurd mga picture niya maging mga selca. It's just not her thing.

Pati sa pagsayaw, mas magaling pa si Liam. Baka sa susunod gustuhin na nitong maging trainee sa YG dahil sa dami ng talent nito.

Going back, napagdesisyunan na nilang umuwi after nilang mag-shopping.

"Did you enjoy today?" tanong ni Jennie pagkadating na pagkadating nila sa bahay.

"I did, I had so much fun today. Thank you mom for today and for the cam"

"Good to hear and you're welcome baby"

"I love you so much mommy" sabi ni Liam at humalik sa pisngi ng ina.

"I love you more my little boy" she hugged her son.

"Mom, I'm actually not little anymore" Liam pouted.

"No matter how big you get you'll always be my baby. Always remember that" Jennie said and pinched the boy's nose.
