I miss you love. Wish you were here.
Napangiti nalang ako.
Para namang di tayo nagkita kanina. Miss you more love.
"Ate Cole is smiling yieee. Ate Cole has a boyfrwend?." ang cute talaga nitong batang to, sarap pisil pisilin.
"Secreeet." pisil ko ng cheek niya.
"Seklet seklet. May boyfwend ka eh. I'm right Ate Cole diba?." ngiti nya.
"Pano mo nalalaman ang mga bagay na yan ha? Kaw talaga baby ah."
"I saw it on TV. Awiel's boyfwend is Ewic. And they lived happily evel aftwel!." sabay yakap niya pa sa unicorn stuffed toy niya.
"Ikaw ba baby, may prince charming ka na?."
"Nope." Malungkot niyang sabi.
"Ayaw payag ng monsters."
"Huh? Sinong monsters?."
"Yung nang-aaway baby Coco. Like this!." Nagulat ako nang bigla niya kong kinarate.
"Aba siraulong bata to ah." Mahina kong sabi. Sinikmuraan din kasi ako. Ansaket.
"Oh no! Ate Cole, you're vomiting blood. Coco is sorry." Nag-aalala niyang sabi.
Medyo may lumabas na ngang dugo sa bibig ko. Ganun kalakas.
"No baby. Don't worry. Ano lang to uh, nireregla lang si Ate Cole hehe. May lumalabas talagang blood sa body mo when you're a woman na."
"Eh Coco baby pa, pero there's blood in Coco's fifi huhuhu. Baby Coco is dying.." Hmm napaisip din ako. Nireregla din nga pala to. Tsk patay tayo dyan.
"Shhh baby don't cry. Remember, di na pala ikaw baby kasi big girl ka na. Marunong ka mag-eat and eherm uh wash fifi diba?. Yey, big girl na si baby Coco."
"Baby Coco? Big gurl?." turo niya sarili.
"Oo. Kaya wag ka na magcry." Punas ko sa mga luha niya.
"Alam mo, let's sing nalang." lapit ko sa piano sabay upo.
"Coco doesn't know how to sing eh. Ate Cole will teach Coco?."
"Oo naman. I'll teach you Que Sera Sera. Favorite ko yun nung baby pako eh."
At yun nga, tinuruan ko siya palagi talagang mali mali yung tono at lyrics niya pero di parin ako nag give up.
When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, "What will I be?
Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?"
Here's what she said to me
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be

Coleen's POV
Believe din naman ako sa determination ng babaeng to. Pero ang totoo, ang hirap kayang magtangatangahan no. Tsk.
Actually, memorized ko yang kantang yan since yan yung pinakaunang piece na tinugtog ko when I was 3 years old.
Pero natutuwa ako sa ginagawa ng babaeng to na hindi ko maipaliwanag. There's something about her. At saka nakita kong mahal na mahal niya ang pagtugtog. I can't help but smile.
Since I am just a boy at school
I asked my teacher, "What should I try?
Should I paint pictures? Should I sing songs?"
This was her wise reply
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my lover, "What lies ahead?
Will we have rainbows day after day?"
Guess what my lover said
After naming kumanta kasi pinilit ko na kunwari nakakasabay nako sa kanya is naglaro kami ng bahay bahayan, lutulutoan at nagkalkal ng earthworms sa bakuran.
Never ko tong nagawa nung bata pa ako, pero ngayon naisip ko na ang saya pala ng feeling na bata ka. Ang sarap sa feeling na wala kang iniisip maliban sa pagiging masaya.
Go naman si Cole sa lahat ng naisip kong game, kahit medyo di na bagay sa kanyang maglaro kasi ang laki laki na niya.
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, "What will I be?
Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?"
I tell them, "Wait and see."
Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be
Que sera, sera
Tinutulungan ko siyang diligan ang mga halaman sa garden nang dumating si Mommy.
"Mommyyyy!." Masaya kong salubong sa kanya.
"So, how's your day? Did you enjoy it?."
"Yes mommy!. Ate Cole played with me! And we watered the plants!."
"That's great."
"Good afternoon po Attorney." Lapit ni Cole samin.
"Good afternoon din Cole. I'm so glad to see Coleen like this. Keep it up. You're an angel."
"T-thank you po."
"Sya nga pala, eto may dala akong donuts and pizza. Cole, sumabay ka na samin."
"Naku Attorney, nakakahiya naman po. Okay napo, busog pa naman po ako."
"Wag ka nang mahiya. Sige na. Masamang tumanggi sa grasya. Tara na sa loob." Akbay ni Mommy kay Cole na parang sobrang close na nila. Kaya ayun, pumayag nalang si Cole.
I can see na mabuti siyang tao. Pero bakit nga ba talaga siya nagtatrabaho dito para alagaan ako kung mayaman nga sila?.
10pm.
Tulog na sina mommy. Andito ngayon ako sa secret lab to research things about Cole.
Well yeah, I stalked her social media accounts for a bit.
Di na active ang social media accounts niya. Yung pinakalast niyang post is last year. She posted a picture with a guy named Frank Hirai. Which I think is her boyfriend.
I also stalked the guy. His father is Mr. Somera's business partner pala. Dun siguro sila nagkakilala ni Cole. Mabalik kay Cole, she went to an all girls school since elementary hanggang sa nagsenior high na siya. I saw pictures of her with her female friends, classmates and dormmates. So malaki ang posibilidad na kung may ginagawa mang katiwalian o anumang ilegal na bagay ang ama niya ay wala siyang kinalaman dun.
KINABUKASAN
Umalis na sina mommy at andito na si Cole para paliguan ako. Habang pinapaliguan ako, seryoso lang akong nakatingin sa kanya.
"What is it baby?. Is there something on my face?." Taka nyang tanong.
"Ate Cole, where?."
"Where's what?."
"Sleep and play. Home." Kasi hanggang ngayon di ko parin alam kung san siya nakatira.
"Why?."
"Coco wants to see Ate Cole's house.Where is it Ate?." Baka makatulong pala to sa investigation.
