ISANG NGITI ang sumilay sa labi ni Zayden nang makita niya ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina sa screen ng kaniyang cellphone.
“Mom,” pagsagot ni Zayden sa tawag ng kaniyang ina.
“Anak,” may bahid ng ngiti na pagbati ni Mylen kay Zayden. “Kumusta ka sa probinsiya?”
“I’m good, Mom. Na-i-enjoy ko naman po ang pag-stay ko rito.” Sabi ni Zayden sabay tingin kay Luna.
Nasa porch silang dalawa at masayang nagkukwentuhan. It was just 8 in the morning and the sun was rising from the East. Of course, Luna was holding her tablet. She was drawing on her tablet.
“What?” Luna mouthed.
Zayden smiled and shook his head. He pointed to his phone. Luna only nodded.
“Mom, napatawag po kayo?” tanong ni Zayden saka ini-loudspeaker ang tawag upang marinig ni Luna kung sino ang kausap niya.
Mylene sighed
