Second day na ng project nila Winter at Karina. 

They are ccurently walking inside the mall. Katatapos lang ng class nila WInter at Karina, kaya naisipan nilang maggrocery at magshopping kasama si Darcy. 

"Mama, can we eat muna po? I'm hungry with all the walking," reklamo ni Darcy. She stopped walking and pouted in front of her pretend mother. Tumingin si Karina kay Winter.

"Should we?" She asked. 

"Well, Darcy is the boss." Natatawang sabi ni Winter. 

Pumunta sila sa Jollibee. They heard kids like eating in this fast food chain. 

"Ako na oorder, Win. Hanap na kayo ng upuan ni Darcy." The taller whispered. 

Winter nodded her head. Iniabot niya kay Darcy ang ballpen niya.

"Baby, can you hold the other end of this pen?" She asked. Darcy nodded her head and did what she was told. 

They saw a vacant table nearby. 

"Mommy, can I ask a question po?" Tanong ni Darcy nang makaupo na sila. Winter hummed. 

"What is it?"

"Why do you need pen pa po whenever we're alone?" She asked. Winter cleared . How can she explain something she does not even know? Lalo na at bata pa si Darcy.

"It's complicated, baby. But it is a me problem. It is not your fault, 'kay?" Sabi ni Winter. Darcy pouted and nodded her head. Inayos niya ang buhok niya. 

She looked around and saw other children with their parents. She frowned when she noticed that something is different. 

"Mommy Win," she called. Winter looked at her daughter and tilted her head. 

"Why Darcy baby?"

"Why is our family different po?" Winter did not understand. She looked up and roam her eyes around the fast food chain. 

"What do you mean different, babe?" 

"Look at the other families here. Their parents are not both girls po." Now, she can understand. Is this an appropriate topic for a 3-year-old child? 

"We're not different, baby. Maraming kinds ng families, but it does not mean that some of them are weird or different." Darcy nodded her head. Maya-maya lamang ay dumating na rin si Karina na maraming dala. May mga kasunod siyang staffs.

"What the father? Bakit ang dami?" Winter asked and helped the taller girl. Karina blushed. 

"I actually never eaten in this restaurant. So I ordered one of everything," sabi niya. Winter blinked her eyes.

"You should have told me," natatawang sabi ni Winter.

After minutes of fixing the food on their table, they sat down and started eating. 

"Is it good, Darcy?" Karina asked. The kid nodded her head enthusiastically. 

"Yes, Mama! Thank you po!" 

"Aww, you're welcome, baby." Karina kissed Darcy's cheeks.

"Win! Good to see you here!" Napatigil silang tatlo sa pagkain at sabay-sabay tumingin sa bumati kay Winter. 

"Heeseung, ikaw pala. Sino kasama mo?" Nakangiting tanong ni Winter at ibinaba ang utensils niya. 

"Si Jake tsaka si Hunter, yung anak-anakan namin." Heeseung answered.

"Do you want to sit with us? Marami pa namang space. Maybe, Hunter can play with my Darcy." 

"Hindi ba parang medyo masikip, Winter? Marami pang foods sa table oh. Tsaka baka nahihiya si Darcy." Biglang sabat ni Karina na kanina pa nakatingin kay Heeseung. 

"Karina, Heeseung is a friend. Tsaka don't you think it'll be a good idea to have our daughter play with a kid her age?" 

"Eh, masikip kasi Winter. Baka hindi maging comfortable yung mga bata. They can play naman sa family day e. Tsaka we're eating kaya." Karina said and crossed her arms. Winter looked at Heeseung apologetically.

"I guess we'll just see you around? Say hi to Jake and Hunter for me, Hee." The guy saluted and smiled widely before going back to his table. Winter looked at Karina and shook her head.

"That was kind of rude, Karina." Seryosong sabi ni Winter. 

"I'm just saying na hindi na sila kasya dito."

"Are you two fighting po?" Darcy asked confusedly. Paiyak na siya habang nakatingin kay Winter at Karina. Agad naman siyang niyakap ni Karina. 

"No, we're not fighting baby. Mama and I are just talking. Don't worry, okay?" Sabi ni Winter habang nakatingin lamang sa mag-ina niya. Ang hirap talaga ng kundisyon niya. She wanted to tell her daughter that it's okay. But because of her ing phobia, she can't.

"Don't fight in front of me po, please." 

"We promise, baby. Bati na kami ni Mama Rina," sabi ni Winter at ngumiti. She sighed and pat her shoulders. Pagod na agad siya, hindi pa sila nakakapagshopping at grocery.

"Where do you want to go next, babe?" Karina asked. Buhat na niya si Darcy ngayon habang dala ni Winter ang bag niya. Buti na lamang at iniwan niya ang bag niya sa kotse. 

"Can we buy a few toys po?" She asked while smiling. Winter chuckled. 

"Just a few? Let's go, bilhin natin lahat ng gusto mo." Nauna siyang maglakad papunta sa Toys R Us. Kumuha siya ng cart at hinintay sila Karina. 

"Can I buy everything I want po ba talaga?" Darcy asked. Kumikinang ang mga mata niya sa tuwa. Winter nodded her head.

"Anything for our baby." 

[nagpplano akong mag-karina pov for the next chapters, para hindi na tayo malito lahat sa feelings niya, pero plano pa lang naman]
