"Dat sod be miii! Dat sod be miiii.."

Hindi ko alam kung matatawa ba ako o hindi. Kanina pa kanta ng kanta ang tambay sa tapat ng bintana, lasing yata. Si Carol naman na nakadungaw at nakimarites din ay hindi na napigilan ang sarili na tumawa.

His pronounciation and his tune is a bit.. unique.

I smiled when I saw Lola Matilda carrying a basket full of food. She smiled at me while gesturing her hands.

"Iha, pwede bang ihatid mo ito sa bukid?"
she said. "Baka nagugutom na ang asawa mo roon."

I slowly nodded and chewed my lower lip. Kinuha ko ang basket sa kamay niya at hinalikan siya sa pisngi.

"Sige po."

On my way to the bukid, I saw Phineas sitting on a.. wheelchair..? Why is he in a wheelchair? But before I could ask and approach him, he stood up and ran towards me like a horse.

Well, I never expected that. This world is really full of surprises.

"Hi, Mrs. Vasiliev! Pupunta ka ba ng bukid? Sasama sana ako.. kung pwede. Mag chi-chika sana kami ni Zeji."

I didn't respond and walk passed him.

"Feeling close." I whispered.

After 10 minutes of walking, I arrived at the location and there.... I saw Ven showered in sweat. It did not bothered me that his abs is visible but the girl beside him did.

"Bakit ka huminto? Ay hala.."

I stop staring at them and look at Phineas.
He dramatically covered his mouth and gasped.

"Omg, may kabit ang asawa mo!"

I rolled my eyes at him and continued walking. I chewed my lower lip and held the basket tightly. I thought he is busy working here, yet what am I seeing now? He's just flirting with that Jasha girl. Akala ko ba loyal 'to?

"Hello, good morning..." I smiled sweetly when they stopped laughing and look at me. I stared at Jasha and hand her the basket.

"I am so sorry to interrupt your lovely moment, but this guy beside you needs to eat.." I paused and tilt my head towards Ven. ".. you must be hungry, am I right? I am willing to accompany you but Phineas and I had an important thing to do.. so since Miss Jasha is here, she will accompany you until you die here, 'kay?"

I tap Jasha's head before dragging Phineas with me. I didn't saw Ven's reaction but.. nevermind. I know I slayed it perfectly.

"Hoy, teka.. Mrs. Vasiliev.. hoy, bakit narining ko ang pangalan ko doon? Hoy! Anong important thing to do 'yan? Ang snob mo nga sa akin kanina kaya paano tayo naging close? Hoy!"

Tumigil na ako sa kakahila sa kaniya nang sa tingin ko ay malayo na kami sa kanila. I did not answer him and walk faster so I could go home. The scene that I made just now needed to be celebrated.

Its been three hours when I left him at the farm together with Jasha and he is still not home. Maybe the two of them made a baby?

"Did Phineas and you got on a date together?"

I almost screamed in horror when I heard his voice behind me. Speaking of the devil. I turned around and met his burning gaze. What's up with this man?

"Maybe yes, maybe not." I smiled.

"Don't lie to me, Selene. Phineas told me that the two of you went to a friendly date together." he said.

Uy, wow, Selene. Where's your Malysh na? Did it fly fly like a butterfly na ba? And what friendly date? Kailan pa kami naging friends ni Phineas?
