BLACK LOTUS

15: HIS TREAT

~AZKHIRA~

"Where are you taking me??" I irritately ask.

Half day namin kaya naman inaya ako netong nerd na lumabas. But..... Actually pinilit niya talaga ako dahil bibili daw kami ngayon ng puppy for our project. Like who the hell would think to have us a project like this!!

Ang sabi nung professor namin na alagaan daw namin hanggang sa matapos ang school year and if the dog is in good condition he would definitely give us an A+ score at yun na daw ang project namin for the whole, though maganda rin naman iyon para bawas sa mga projects namin..

"Look this puppy is sooooo cute" pinakita niya sa akin yung gray na husky. Yeah he's cute, note he bought a boy husky, but.... I don't know how to take good care of them because I never had a pet since child.

"I'll call him Azi"

"Whatever.." bweset nagugutom na ako..

"Baby Azi how cute.." I saw the dog is wiggling his tail

"See he likes it haha" tawang tawa pa ito at sobrang nacku-kyutan ito sa aso.

He must like dogs and a childish nerd...

Bigla nalang tumunog yung tiyan ko, kaya narinig kong tumigil ito at saka tumawa ng mahina..

"I forgot we haven't eaten lunch haha"

"Buti naalala mo" I hissed

Pagkatapos naming binili yung puppy pati na rin mga kakailanganin niya like dog food and so on. Bago namin siya iwan sa kotse ni nerd.

"Halika dun tayo kain... my treat" sabay hila sa akin, syempre hindi na ako tumanggi....and I'm super hungry.

Pumasok na kami sa isang restaurant.

"Good afternoon ma'am sir" the waitress greeted us before giving the menu.. it's his treat kaya naman lubos lubusin ko na

"Kaya mo ba talagang ubusin yan lahat?" I just tolled my eyes and keep on eating the noodles with a lot of spice on it, which I ordered three bowls.

Hindi naman ako matakaw sadyang di lang talaga ako nakakain kaninang umaga at tanghali kaya naman sinulit ko na I even ordered 3 different slices of cakes, leche flan, they said that it's delicious and sweet so I ordered it and milk ofcourse..

"Why do you care besides it's your treat" I said before slurping the soup...

"Ahem manners Az.." He clears his throat I know people are staring at us but I don't care.. eh masarap yung sabaw eh..

"Don't mind them just eat" nakita kong napa face palm pa siya pero wala rin siyang nagawa sa huli..

I can't believe na sobrang sarap nung leche flan, it's sweet pero hindi naman siya yung sobra. And then the cakes ang sarap I never tasted anything like it. Tinawag ko yung waitress upang ibigay sa akin yung menu to taste some of Filipino desserts.

Like puto bumbong, ube halaya with cheese on top, another flan, and more..

"Masarap?" Nakalimutan kong may kasama pala ako. But I look at him ang nodded, they are all delicious and new to my taste buds how I wish I can come here and eat again..

*****

"Hindi ko alam na malakas ka pala kumain" natatawang saad neto. I am like that sometimes besides masarap talagang kumain.

"Here.." sabay abot sa akin ang Ice cream na nabili niya dun sa lalakeng nakabisekleta at may malaking  metal na nakadikit rito, I don't know it's name though..

Napakunot nalang ako..

"Just try it"

I tried licking the Ice cream, and it's delicious, strawberry flavor siya....

Nilingon ko at akmang magsasalita nang biglang dumampi sa akin ang Ice cream niya sa mukha ko. What the f!!!

"S-sorry bigla kasi akong ginulat nung bata" he said while trying to get something from his pocket..

"Dam* you nerd" Halos mabitak na ang cone na hawak hawak ko dahil sa inis. Kita kong pinupunasan niya yung mukha ko na napahiran ng Ice cream, pero ang lagkit but I want it to be fair.

Sinadya ko talagang ipunta sa mukha niya yung Ice cream na hawak ko, dahilan upang mapanganga siya at mabitawan yung panyo

"Sounds fair" I smirked at him, who is now like a statue with his mouth open

"Az!!!!" He shouted but I just raised my one eyebrow

"It's your fault.. ikaw ang nauna I'm just being fair" I uttered

"So fair pala ha..." He said smirking at hindi ko inaasahan ang susunod na nangyare..

"Pfftt.... Hahaha" He laughed and ran

"Dam* you stupid childish nerd!!" I shouted and chased him with an Ice cream on my face. Kumuha kasi siya ng Ice cream sa mukha niya at pinahid ulit sa akin..

Muntikan ko pang mabangga yung isang bata..

"Sorry kid" saad ko nalang pero nakatitig lang iyo sa akin at parang may kinuha sa kaniyang bulsa

"I think you need this ate" said the cute little chubby boy , isn't he afraid?

Pero parang natunaw yung puso ko sa ginawa niya... I never thought someone like this kid would give me his handkerchief while smiling sweetly at me..

Umupo ako hanggang sa magkapantay kami. I smiled at him... Bigla naman netong pinunasan ang tunaw na Ice Cream sa mukha ko..

"You shouldn't be running away like that ate, sayang po ang ganda niyo" he said smiling, this little kid's mind is so mature, kaya lihim akong napangiti..

"What's your name?" I ask

"My name is Reignell (REY-NYELL)"

I pinch both of his cheeks because of his overload cuteness..

"Your so cute you know that" I said

"I know right sabi nila kamukha ko daw ang dad ko" bago pa ako makapagsalita ay may tumatawag sa pangalan niya.

"Oh god Reign I've been looking for you" A guy probably on his 20s coming towards our place..

"Sorry dad I just saw Ate with an Ice cream on her face so I gave him my handkerchief" paliwanang naman nung bata, he's really cute.

Nilingon naman ako nung lalake at mukhang napatitig pa..

"Hey dad don't look at her like that I know she's beautiful" saad pa nung bata ka lihim akong napangiti grabe talaga ang batang ito...

I clear my throat and stood up facing the guy. Magkamukhang magkamukha talaga sila ng tatay niya...

"Mister bantayan niyo po ng mabuti ang anak niyo.." I simply said, sayang naman ang overload cuteness ng batang ito kapag nawala..

Humingi pa ito ng paumanhin bago ako umalis dun , nagpaalam pa sa akin yung bata at ganun din ako.

Now where is that nerd, nakita ko namang bumibili ulit ito ng Ice Cream, hindi pa ako nakakapaghigante sa kaniya...
