I was now in my car heading to Antipolo and Xabart was not with me as he had this 'something came' up line and would only come later. When I arrived in our house, I saw those long tables outside and few people were already here. It seemed they started more earlier than I had thought.
Sure of my destination as I walked to the table on where Brix is.
"Brix!" I called him.
"Where's Xabart? He said he'll come." as he stood up.
"Happy birthday!" I gave him a tight hug and a peck on his cheek. "Your present is in my car, help yourself. And about Xabart, he'll come late." I handed him my keys.
"Okay, Dad's inside." he beamed me a smile.
"Oh really? I'll leave you here then." I smiled to his friends who greeted me and left.
"Where is your friend?" Mom first words when I entered the house.
