“I got the mangoes for you, Tita Jane.” I walked into the kitchen and placed the bagged fruit onto the kitchen. “Tita Jane?”
“I’m here,” my tita called out as she walked down the stairs and entered the kitchen in her nurse uniform. “Thank you, Benny. You came back just in time.” Placing two mangoes into her lunchbox, she then said, “Well, I’m heading to work now. There’s plenty of leftovers in the refrigerator when you get hungry, and I’ll be back right before midnight, okay?”
I nodded.
