"Sequi, Anak, your suit is already sewed and it's blue!" Mom shouted while combing my hair. I was ten.
"But, Mom, Naia's gown is red so I want it red!"
"The party will be held tonight, Anak. Please, don't stress mommy," tila nawawalan ng pasensyang sabi ni Mom.
Umiling ako. I was so final with my decision. I wanted my suit in red. Ayaw ko ng blue, or whatsoever. I want red.
"Mom, red. I want red. I don't care if it's new or not. I want red!"
"Don't shout at me!" Nanlaki ang mata ni mama kaya natakot ako at napayuko.
"Mom, I really want red. Naia's gown is red so make my suit red. Okay, mommy?" Nilambingan ko ang boses ko at nagpacute pa sa harap ni Mommy.
Bumuntong hininga siya at pinisil ang ilong ko. Isa pang suklay sa buhok ko at tumayo na siya.
"Red it is..." Pagod na sabi ni Mommy at tuluyan nang umalis sa kwarto ko.
We have the same birthday. I know it was very uncanny. Our parents are bestfriends. Maybe... they planned this out. Ang alam ko lang, pinaaga ang labas ni Naia para sabay kaming ipanganak. Cesarean ang Mom niya at iniba ata ang due date. That was according to my mom.
Tumalon ako sa kama ko at kinuha ang iPad ko sa side table. Wallpaper ko ang picture namin ni Naia, noong na sa Disney land. We were wearing a couple shirt and a couple headbands because she wanted it that way. Her ways, I obey.
Sumagot siya sa tawag ko. She smiled awkwardly in fron of the screen. Pinalaki ang ilong at nilakihan ang mata. I laughed because she's so cute. She's too cute and it's making my heart beat faster than usual.
"What are you doing?" Hindi pa rin humuhupa ang tawa ko kahit normal naman na ang facial expression niya.
"I'm so bored. Wanna go out?" She chuckled.
"Sure. Sa playground tayo? Sa pavement?"
Tumango siya habang malapad na nakangiti.
"Sige, sige! Sunduin mo na lang ako,"
"Palagi naman!" Sabi ko at pinatay niya na ang call.
Nahiga ako ng maayos at tumitig sa ceiling habang nakangiti. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nararamdaman ko. I was just ten and everything about her always excites me.
She's wearing her usual jumper pants with her yellow shirt inside. May heart shaped mark siya sa pisngi at maliit lang 'yon. It' so beautiful. Everything about her is so beautiful.
"Are you excited?" Tanong niya habang gumagalaw ang swing niya ng mabagal.
Ginaya ko siya.
"Yes. Palagi naman akong excited,"
