My New Bike

I have been wishing to own a bike.

When my Mommy or my Daddy, or my Tatay Mel and Nanay Bing would bring me to SM City, the first place that I wanted to go was the place where bikes for children are displayed. I would ride on one of them and pedalled it, although I could not do much. I would not leave that place. And even if my Mommy would tell me to follow her because we had to buy my milk or my favorite drink,Choco, I would be hesitant.
But of course I had to go with her.
My Daddy is still in Makati.
When I talked with my Daddy over the phone, I would always tell him to buy a bike, yong pink. And of course, he would always say , he would. And he would tell me to be a good girl. And of course, I would always tell him, I would.

But one day, I noticed that my Tatay Mel had not arrived yet. And it was already dark. I missed him, as always because he would always look for me when he arrives home from school.

Then to my surprise, I saw Tito Janno, my uncle, carrying a bike. Tito Janno lives with us as he is studying in the city.

He told me, Tatay Mel bought me a bike. I heard him say that.--A bike!

I knew it was mine. I immediately run to him, and held the bike.

Oh, how happy I was. I immediately rode on it. And biked around our house.

I did not want to part from it, even when Mommy told me to have my supper.

Because I had to eat my supper, I brought the bike very near to my chair as I ate my supper.

I hurriedly ate my supper, and again on my bike and soon I was again riding on it.

Oh, how I sweated that night. My Mommy would always follow me to wipe the sweat on my back.

When it was about time to sleep, about 10:30, I told my Mommy that my bike be brought to my room.

So it was brought upstairs.

But it had to be parked at the corridor, instead in our room. I did not like it. But I had to obey. I am a good girl, isn't it?

The following day, my Mommy went home early. We went to the nearly plaza of the Great Vission Church. There I biked and biked until my Mommy got tired of following me.

Then we went home. And reported the event to Tatay Mel when he arrived from work.
