Star & Twinkle (Completed)

Chapter 46

"San ka ba nagsi-stay ngayon, Ry?" Allan asked. "Sa Manila po tito, kanila Ceddie po, yung pinsan ko," Rigel answered politely. "Oh, why don't you come over sa bahay? Have lunch with all of us so you can meet Twinkle's mom and all of us," Allan suggested. "Daddy, sure ka dyan ha?" Twinkle asked, surprised by her father's invitation. "Ay eh, kung okay lang po kay Twinks then sure po, I can always drop by," Rigel said with a smile. Millie giggled at the two of them. "Tawa ka dyan, Bubbles," Twinkle said as she couldn't help but giggle at Millie, too. "Natawa lang ako kasi wala ka ng kawala, Shine," Millie said as she laughed. Star and Vicky laughed in the video call, too. "Kayo din ni mama V, mama?" Twinkle asked, pretending like she was betrayed by all of them. "Alis na nga ako," she added as she pretended to leave. Then she smiled. "'Wag love, ikaw talaga. Dyan ka lang. If your dad thinks and knows him as a good guy, why not meet him diba? Lunch lang naman eh," Star said. "Yeah, Twinks, lunch lang naman eh," Rigel said as he protected himself when Twinkle got ready to slap him on the arm again. They all laughed. "Sige na po, mama, daddy, mama V, tito P, baka san pa po mapunta tong usapan na toh eh," Twinkle said as she smiled and waved at them. They laughed again. "Sige anak, mag-iingat kayo dyan ha. I love you," Star said as she gave her daughter an air kiss. "Kayo din pong lahat dyan, mama. I love you po. I love you po sa inyong lahat," Twinkle said again as she waved at everybody. Then Twinkle hung up after everyone said their I love you's. She looked at Rigel. She hit him on the arm and poked his side, "Ikaw, palibhasa kilala ka ng daddy ko kaya ka naka-lusot ng lunch eh," Twinkle said as she hit him again. Rigel protected himself from Twinkle's blows and laughed. "Kasalanan ko bang boto sakin yung daddy mo?" He teased. Twinkle hit him again. "Huy, grabe ka Rigel ha. Napaka-lover nyang Shine namin, bakit nagiging sadista yan sayo? Ang lambing lambing nyan eh, clinggy pa nga yan eh. Bakit ikaw, lagi ka nyang binubugbog? Nagiging bayolente yung Twinkle namin sayo ah," Millie said while laughing. "Ewan ko dyan, lakas ng hatred sakin. Ingat ka Twinks, sabi pa naman nila, the more you hate, the more you love," Rigel said as he bobbed his eyebrows up and down trying to tease Twinkle even more. "Kaya nga, Bubbles eh, nagiging bayolente ako dahil sa taong toh eh. Napaka bad influence diba? Dun ka na nga! Excuse!" Twinkle said as she pushed him away. "Aray, masakit na ha," he said as he held his arm. "Alis ka kasi dyan dadaan ako," Twinkle said as he pushed him again. Millie laughed the whole time. "Let her out, Ry, natatae na yan kaya ganyan ka-init ulo nyan," Millie said as she laughed. She stood up and offered her hand to Twinkle. Twinkle threw a piece of bone from Millie's plate towards Millie, and she couldn't help but laugh. "Pano mo nalaman?" Twinkle asked as she laughed again while she tried to get out from the table. Rigel laughed the entire time as he made room for her to exit. Millie laughed even more, "'Cause we just ate, lagi ka naman nag-babawas after kumain eh, plus you're sweating. Halika na nga," Millie said as she continued to laugh at Twinkle. Twinkle laughed with her. "Baboo," she said to Rigel as the two of them hurried back to their rooms.

While Twinkle was in the bathroom, Star texted her. "Love, your dad wants Rigel's number. Paki-forward daw sa kanya. I love and miss you, love. Ingat kayo ni Millie dyan," she said in her text message. "Hala, eh seryoso po?" Twinkle sent back to her mother. "Oo, seryoso daw," Star replied. "Eh, okay po. I love you and I miss you, mama ko. Enjoy kayo ni dad. Make lots of babies!" Twinkle texted back at her mother. "Kayo na ni Rigel after nyo ikasal," Star replied again. "Mama!" Twinkle texted again which made her mother send her the laughing emoji. Twinkle shook her head and smiled at her conversation with Star. Then she sighed. She sent Rigel's number to her dad with a message: "Dad ha, be good," she said. Allan replied with a wink and a thumbs up emoji which made her laugh. When she got out of the bathroom, Millie was laying in bed with her legs on the floor. "Success?" Millie asked as she lifted her head up to look at Twinkle. "Success," Twinkle said while she grinned as she let herself fall on the bed next to Millie. Millie's arms were spread out, so Twinkle wiggled her body closer to Millie. Millie allowed Twinkle to lay on top of her arm. Twinkle hugged Millie's tummy as she closed her eyes. "Small world talaga Shine noh? Biroin mo he went to the same church as we did tapos naging part din ng music ministry like us kaya kilala nya din ung choir director natin which happens to be your dad," Millie said, still in disbelief. "Mhm," Twinkle answered as she tried so hard not to drift off to sleep. "Kaya mas kampante nako knowing na your dad knows him and that he says na sa pagkakakilala nya sa kanya, good boy naman si Rigel," Millie said as she closed her eyes. "Mabait naman talaga si Ry, Bubbles. Pati pamilya nya. Mayaman sila pero ginagamit nila yung yaman nila sa tama. Katulad nung mom nya na ang daming charities dito sa 'Pinas, inuuwian nya pa yun ha para i-make sure na lahat nasa ayos. Someday magagawa ko din yun," Twinkle said then she took a deep breath. "How'd you know about his mom's charity works? Kinukwento nya?" Millie asked curiously. "Hindi. Mama nya mismo nag-sabi nung nag-meet kami—" Twinkle said when Millie cut her off. "Wait what? You already met his mom?! Tapos sasabihin mo sakin wala lang sya? And I'm only finding out about this now? Mag-tatampo na talaga ako sayo nyan Shine eh," Millie said as she lifted her head up to look at Twinkle. "Eh biglaan lang naman yun, Bubbles. Toh naman eh. Nung nasa school lang kami nun, yung isang class kasi namin may three hours na gap kaya nag-yaya sya mag-lunch. Lumabas kami. Friendly lunch lang naman. Tapos pag-pasok namin, nag-oorder na kami biglang pumasok mom nya, mag-titake out na sana. Syempre ininvite namin na kumain kasama namin kaya ayun na-meet ko sya. Nakapag-kwentohan. Yun lang naman yun, wala namang anything dun," Twinkle said defensively. "Eh maski na, you met the mother of your manliligaw. That's a big deal," Millie insisted. "Nagka-taon lang naman yun, Bubbles. Tsaka hindi ko nga ineentertain yung panliligaw nya diba? Hindi ko nga pinapansin diba? So wala lang sakin yun. I mean of course, it's nice na mameet yung nanay ng kaibigan mo, pero hindi ko na naisip na nanay yun ng nanliligaw sakin. Toh naman eh," Twinkle said. "Fine," Millie answered. "Oh sya, tara na, baka antokin pako dito, nag-aantay na yung mga yun," Millie said as she got up. She offered her hand and helped Twinkle up. The two of them got ready as they left for the beach to start the day's activities.
