Implausible Monsters with Inconceivable Thoughts

Pagkatapos kong umo-oo kay Seus, He was still talkative, samantalang ako halos umalis na 'yung puso ko sa katitibok-tibok. I am nervous, indeed I am.

He stopped the truck and reached for his tumber, He then gave me his tumbler, uminom ako. He know's something's up. Palagi n'yang alam na ako'y ninenerbyos.

"Oo, Sapphire, I asked your parents for permission kung pwede na tayo magkaanak."

Nabilaukan ako sa tubig na binigay n'ya. I then coughed.

"Uy! Sorry!" takot n'yang sambit, sabay kuha n'ya ng panyo at dahan-dahang pinunasan ang bibig ko.

"Alam mo namang nag jo-joke lang bebe mo, eh," He scratched his nose, alalang alala sa'kin.

"Si Oreo, s'ya 'yung anak natin," Seus cleared what he had said before.

I nodded, "I-Iuuwi..." I paused when he stared at me, I looked away, "Iuuwi ko muna si Oreo, you can have him tomorrow..."

He nodded, "Ma-mimiss ko 'yung mag-ina ko..." he whispered to himself, but I'm pretty sure that he intentionally made me hear it. 

He then kissed Oreo, "Momma will take care of you for today..."

Inandar uli ni Seus ang sasakyan at napagpasiyahang ihatid ako pauwi.

"But... how about Manong Ram and Mang Roel, how will they get home?" I asked worriedly.

"Alam ng pamilya mo 'to, Amara. I asked them permission..." He said, paying attention to the road.

"Really?" I whispered to myself, feeling an awe all over my heart.

Binuksan n'ya ang pintuan ng sasakyan, dahan dahan akong bumaba. Habang papalakad sa pinto ng bahay ay kitang-kita sila Manong, Manang, Papa at Mama sa bintana mukhang kanina pa sila nagaantay. They were pushing each other out of the excitement, kahit ang mama kong sobrang prim and proper ay nakikisali na din.

Seus opened the door for me, kami'y tumahak na papaloob at laking gulat namin nang makita silang nakaupo, sila manong naglilinis, at 'yung iba nakatingin sa itaas ng kisame.

I smiled, "We saw you guys..."

I pointed the window, "sa window..."

"Kasalanan mo 'to Boyet!" Manang Elda said irritatingly.

"'Yan kiliti pa more!" Manong Ram said.

"Tumahimik ka nga Ram!" Manong Boyet scolded Manong Ram. I looked at Seus awkwardly.
