"V-Vince!" My brothers panicked.
Dad looked so shock when Vince did that. Maybe he thought Vince will hate him because of what he did earlier. He stayed still as Vince look at him and wondered who is he again. I think he found my father very interesting.
"Pirate!" Vince suddenly exclaimed and clapped excitedly.
Humagalpak ako ng tawa ng makita ang reaksyon ng mga kapatid ko at maging ang tatay ko mismo. I held my stomach because it kinda hurt a bit. Nahawa rin sa pagtawa ko si Vince na bumungisngis at pinupuri na ata ang sarili ngayon.
"Hello po! I'm Vince po! I'm ten po! And grade four po! And very pogi po!" Masiglang pagpapakilala nito.
My father was dumbfounded. He couldn't speak any words. So Vince have to blow on his face. I laughed again because of my father's funny reaction.
"What's your name po?! Are you Kuya Lucy's older brother po?! So many brothers po! I like it!" Maligalig na tanong ni Vince.
Ngumisi lang ako at sumandal sa pader. Bahala na ang tatay ko dyan. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi sya makapagsalita. Ang mga kapatid ko naman ay nanatiling mga oa. Did they expect Dad to get mad at Vince? Well, that's really possible.
But Vince is so loveable. No one will dare to be mad at him.
"Mister?! Mister?! Hello po Mister po!" Maligalig at maingay na pangungulit ni Vince dito.
"U-Ugh.. hi?" My father couldn't form any coherent reply.
Vince gasped. "You can talk po?! Cool!"
I laughed again. Nice one, Vince.
"O-Of course." My father replied.
Vince smiled happily. "I'm Kuya Shin's brother po! How about you po?!"
My father stummered. "I-I'm these guys' father."
Vince' eyes twinkled like meteor just dropped. "Father?!"
Dad can only nod. Vince was so amazed. He even had his hands clasped together. So cute.
"That is more amazing! I want pirate father too!" Vince turned to me.
I smiled and pointed my lips to my father's direction. Vince went back on annoying him again.
"Where is your parrot po? Or you have seagul instead?! Or a penguin?!" Vince was so hyper.
I laughed at my father's hilarious expression. He must be overwhelmed, well, we never had a kid in our house since the twins grew up and became old monkeys. Father also can't handle too much energy from other people.
And Vince is like a storage room of energy. A big ball of sunshine. My own ball of sunshine. And his brother is a thunderstorm.
"Alright, that's enough. Let's just eat." I chuckled and carried Vince away from Dad.
"But the pirate.." He pouted and pointed my Dad's face.
"We'll sat across the pirate so you will still be able to annoy--I mean talk to him. Come on, aren't you starving? Playing is very exhausting." I said.
Sumangayon na lang sya kaya umupo na ako sa tapat ni Dad at kinandong sya sakin. I don't think he will like it when I put him away from me. Maybe his nightmare inflict too much fear on him so I will comfort him for a while.
"What do you want to eat? We told the Maids to cook a lot today!" Lucian gestured the different dishes prepared on the table.
"Beef! I want beef po!" Vince excitedly answered.
