Chapter 38 - Surprise

Maine's POV

As I wakes up this morning of Saturday, I wonder what RJ and Celestine are up to this time, its been days already that I wakes up with different surprises everyday.  

Last Tuesday I woke up with Celestine and RJ staring at me.  When I asked what they are doing they said that they wanted to watch me while I’m asleep and waited for me to wake up para sabay-sabay kaming mag breakfast, kung sa iba wala lang yun pwes sa akin big deal yun.  On Wednesday,  all my morning ritual stuffs are orderly prepared in the bathroom when I woke up.  On Thursday, a pancake with bacon breakfast in bed and yesterday, Celestine’s wedding gift to me in a frame hanging on our wall was the first that I saw upon opening my eyes.

What could it be this time? I excitedly gets up to fix myself first before going out of our room.  Upon entering the bathroom a note was stick on the mirror with RJ and Celestine's photo “Hurry Mommy, you are in for a big surprise. We will wait for you in the garden”.  With so much anticipation, I rush on my morning rituals and hurried on going to the garden.  I saw RJ and Celestine enjoying their breakfast.  Hindi ako nagpahalatang excited pero parang hindi ako makakakain dahil sa sobrang excitement. 

“Good morning Mommy” Celestine excitedly said

“Good morning baby” I replied and kissed her on top of her head

“Good morning” RJ greeted beaming

“Good morning” I greeted back

“Please hurry on your breakfast Mommy” Celestine said

“Hindi pa nga ako nag-uumpisa baby, dapat ba finish agad? Baka hindi ako matunawan.  And why are you in a hurry?” I said

“We are going out” Celestine said

“Where are we going?” I asked

“We are going for a walk” RJ replied “While Celestine tries on her new bike” he added

“Celestine new what?” I asked to confirm if I heard it right

“My new bike Mommy.  Daddy bought me a new bike, it was in my room when I woke up this morning” Celestine said “Wait Mommy, I’ll get it” she said and quickly runs inside the house

“Ano na naman ang ginawa mo? What did I tell you about spoiling Celestine?  Di ba usapan natin tatanungin mo muna ako.  Nang-iinis ka ba Faulkerson, Jr.? She has her own bike, nasa Bulacan.  Kung tinanong mo ako hindi ka na sana bumili ng bago” I began ranting.  This is really a big surprise kasi, napaka-aga kong nabwisit sa anak araw na ‘to.

“Pwede bang magpaliwanag” RJ calmly asked

I throw a sharp stare at him before I replied “O sige, siguraduhin mong convincing”

He was shooking his head while saying “I think two days ago, nabanggit sa akin ni Celestine na naiwan nga daw nya yung bike nya sa Bulacan and requested me na kunin natin yun once we visited Tatay and Nanay.  But since Nanay is still in L.A., naisip ko na matatagalan pa bago natin makuha yung bike so I called Tatay and I asked him kung pwedeng ipakuha ko na lang yung bike sa Bulacan, because Celestine wanted to play with it dito sa bahay.”

“Yun naman pala eh, bakit bumili pa ng bago?” I fiercely asked

“Sandali, hindi pa ako tapos” he said “Ayun na nga, ipapakuha ko na sana yung bike ni Celestine sa Bulacan kaya lang sabi ni Tatay hindi na raw pwede, kasi si Dean nasagasaan yung bike few days ago at nasira na.  So sabi ni Tatay ibibili na lang daw nya ng bago, kasi baka magalit ang apo nya at mag-iiyak.  Sabi ko ako na lang ang bibili, kaya ayan ibinili ko sya ng bagong bike”
