It's our second day here in Davao
katatapos ng lang breakfast namin lahat sila my kanya kanyang ginagawa.
"Irene have you seen Rod and Sofie?"
"nandiyan lang sa paligid Manang why? Miss mo agad asawa mo"
"pwede ba irene!"
She laughed
"kumain ka nalang kaya Manang daming foods oh"
Tumabi na ako sakanya
"Oh eto pala asawa mo Manang eh"
Dumating naman si Rod
"Where's Sofie?" tanong ko agad
"she's playing in the field"
Tinuro naman niya saakin
At ayun nga naglalaro
"Nilagyan mo ba yun ng sunscreen baka matusta na yun"
"nilagyan ko"
"okey good"
Tumabi siya saakin at nakipag kwentuhan kina Greggy
Pinapanuod ko lang na naglalaro si Sofie
"mommy mommy!"
Kumaway ako sakanya
"It's nice here mommy!"
I showed her my thumbs up
"Mommy look!"
Ni lingon ko ulit siya
She's holding something pero hindi ko maaninag kasi malayo siya
"what's that Sofie?" I shouted
"It's an egg mommy!"
Nanlaki naman mata ko
"It's a huge egg mommy!"
Napatayo na ako
"Oh my god rod what egg is that!"
Napahinto naman sila sa tanong ko
From a far we can see an ostrich roaming around the area
"ohh sh*t!" Rod
Agad siyang tumakbo papunta kay Sofie
"ostrich egg!" Irene
"put it down Sofie!" I shouted
"what?" she asked
"put it down!" sabay naming sigaw ni Irene
Nakita naman namin ang pag takbo ng ostrich kay Sofie
"mommy!"
Sumisigaw na takbo niya
"mommy help" umiiyak na siya
"put the egg down Sofie!" I shouted
Bumaba na rin ako sa field
She's so far from us at napaka bilis ng ostrich
"oh my god!"
Natatakot nalang ako para sakanya
"put the egg down Sofie!" I keep on shouting pero sa sobrang takot niya hawak parin niya ito habang umiiyak na tumatakbo
SI Rod naman malayo parin sa anak niya
I saw horses surrounding sofie para hindi makalapit ang ostrich
Binuhat naman agad ni Rod si Sofie ng maabot niya
Good thing manong Jose and other farmers came with the horse para pigilin ang ostrich
Inantay namin silang dalawa maka balik
She's still crying while hugging the huge egg
Tinatawanan lang siya nila Irene
"See that! Napaka kulit mo kasing bata ka!" I shouted at her
"what got into your mind at kinuha mo yang itlog na yan!"
"Eh mommy it's my first time to see a huge egg" she's still crying
"That's an ostrich egg Sofia!"
"I didn't know the ostrich will run over me"
"malamang anak! That's her egg alangan hayaan niyang kunin mo!"
"Enough with the sermon hon hinabol na nga anak natin pinapagalitan mo pa"
"Kinokonsinte mo kasi yang anak mo eh!"
I look at Sofie hugging her egg
Nakakaawa naman talaga siya but she should learn her lesson
"Sorry na mommy I will not do it again"
"hays come here!"
Lumapit naman siya
Niyakap ko siya at hinalikan sa noo
"Don't do it again natakot lang si mommy baka maabutan ka nun"
She nodded
"ano naman gagawin mo sa itlog na yan?"
"can we cook it?"
"ask your dad"
"Daddy let's cook the egg"
"Sure let's go"
Nagpunta na sila sa loob
