What.The.Heck.
I looked around the car and saw tita Xen smiling at me and Thalhia giggling.
How come...
Napatingin ako sa nagmamaneho ng sasakyan.
He glanced at me once.At ibinalik ang mata sa road.
Just what the heck is going on?
Natahimik ako,What am I doing here?
Shit.
Don't tell me iba ang napasukan Kong sasakyan kanina..
Pero..How stupid of me? How come hindi ko tinignan Yung plate number?
Napasabunot ako sa buhok ko.Stupid.Stupid.
Mag ssorry na sana ako nang magsalita si Tita Xen.
"What a small world it is.So hija,Ilang years na kayo ng baby ko?"
"H-huh?"I said.
Napatingin ako sa lalakeng nag mamaneho,Kumunot ang noo niya.
"What the heck,Mom?"
"Watch your words Czed."
I don't know what to say. I don't even know the person who's sitting in the driver's seat.
Gosh I'm so stupid.Bakit Hindi ko ba iniisip kanina na Hindi lang ang pinsan ko ang may ganitong sasakyan? Oh dear..Am I really that dumb?
"Hija,Are you okay? You're spacing out." Bumalik ako sa kasalukuyan ng nagsalita si Tita Xen. I can imagine my face turning really red right now. Nakakahiya..
"Ahm T-tita.."
Shit.Bahala na.
I turned my face to the guy who was driving then to Tita.
"We're one year na po on 22nd of August." I said at ngumiti ng alanganin. Napansin kong napatingin ang lalaki sa gawi ko.
Shit. s**t.
"Oh." Tanging nasabi ni Tita Xen at mukhang medyo disappointed.
Hala. Bakit?
Natulala si tita at mukhang pina process niya pa sa utak ang sinabi ko.Sandali lang at lumiwanag ang mukha niya.
"I am so happy that you pick the right girl,Baby!"Sabi niya dahilan para matulala ako.
What did she just say? She.. she likes me for his son?
"But Czed,How come you didn't even bother to introduce her to us? Why didn't you say na you have a girlfriend na?" Sabi ni Tita na mukhang medyo disappointed.Napatingin ako sa lalaki. She shrugged his shoulders.
The heck was that? He really didn't even say anything. Hey, cover me up man. Come on...
Unti unti kong pilit inaabot ang kanyang kamay. Nilingon niya ako. Alanganin akong ngumiti sakanya. He just looked at me with no emotion in his eyes.
What's wrong with this guy? Can't he show some emotions?
Is he some kind of robot?
Sandaling natahimik ang loob ng sasakyan ng Hindi na muling nagsalita si Tita Xen.
It's getting really really awkward in here. Nilabas ko Ang phone ko at minesage si Ysa na Hindi ako makakasama sakanya gawa ng isang emergency. She replied quickly and said It's okay. Pagkatapos non ay naglaro nalang muna ako ng games to lighten the mood and to not feel the awkwardness in the car. Ng bigla magsalita nanaman si Tita Xen.
"Nakakatampo Czed but I understand maybe you two wants to keep your relationship private. But hey I'm your mom Czedy darling. Don't you keep another secret from me or else I would not talk to you ever." Tita said pouting yet she still looks very pretty. She looks so elegant.I really admire her since I met her earlier.
"Ate,Are you coming with us?" Oh muntik ko ng makalimutan na meron pala si Nathalhia.
"Ah No. I need to atten-
Hindi ko na natuloy ang balak kong sabihin ng pinutol ng lalaki ang aking sasabihin.
"Don't you want to visit our house,baby?" He said and looked at me with teasing eyes.
Shit. He looked so sexy saying that.
"Yes nga Darling. Why don't you come with us? I'll cook food for us.Masarap ako magluto!"
Wala akong nagawa at tumango nalang. I think I'll just enjoy this day?
Saglit lang at pumasok kami sa isang village. This village was so beautiful. The houses here are huge. Got it. Rich peoples.
Ilang sandali lang ahy tumigil kami sa isang gate na kulay itim. Pinagbuksan kami ng gate ng isang gwardya. Ng pumasok kami ay unti unti kong nakita ang isang magarbong bahay.
Napanganga ako. This house is just so beautiful. It's freaking huge as hell. The garden feels very relaxing. Ang ganda dito. Ang lawak ng garden.
Dito palang ay namamangha na ako. Pano nalang Pag nakita ko na ang loob?
May mga lumapit na mga maids at kinuha lahat ng pinamili nila Tita Xen at Nathalhia sa kotse.
Lumabas na rin kami sa sasakyan at pumasok sa loob ng kanilang bahay.
At muli gaya ng pagkamangha ko kanina ay dumoble ito. It's so beautiful. Sinong architect nito?
"Welcome home Hija,I'm so happy that you agreed to be here today." She smiled at me so did I.
"Siya at papaliguan ko lang si Genezine at ihahanda ko na rin ang iluluto ko. I'll leave you lovers here. Bye Darlings!"
"Bye Ate Love! See you later!" Nathalhia said and gave me a hug and a kiss.And went to his kuya and did the same thing to him and she went upstairs with Tita.
Nakangiti akong tinitignan sila tita ng magsalita ang lalake sa gilid ko.
"They like you a lot." Napatingin ako sakanya.
"Gen and Mom."
"I'm sorry about what happened. It's just that I'm careless. I thought it's my cousin's car." Oh freakin hell I wish I am not here right now. It's so freaking embarrassing.
"Yeah.Whatever." He said. Yeah whatever? The heck was that?
Oh But I really thank that he didn't mind it at all.
I stayed at Gen's Room for the entire hour. We played a lot of her toys and after that we went down to eat dinner.
" Thanks for coming, Darling. I hope sa susunod ulit ay bumisita ka rito. Oh and maybe next time you bring your family here? Where are your parents by the way?" Tita Xen while handling me the take out she put in a Tupperware. I tooked it and smiled at her.
"I'm afraid I can't. I'm sorry tita. But sadly my mom is dead and I don't have a father.I only have my sister who's living with me."
Mukhang nagulat siya ngunit napalitan din ito agad ng lungkot. Do she pity me? I don't like people looking at me with pity in their eyes.
"I'm so sorry for your loss Hija. I didn't mean to hurt you." She held my hand.
"It's fine Tita, you didn't know." I gave her a smile and assured her that it's fine.
"Are you going home na Ate love?" Gen looked at me looking sad. Tumawa ako.
" Yes my dear. I'll just see you next time?" Lumuhod ako para magkapantay kami. Pinisil ko ang pisngi niya.
"See you next time Ate Love! Babye!" She hug me and I hug her back.
I'll miss you kiddo. And I don't think there will be next time.
Pagkatapos akong pakawalan ni Gen sa yakap ay yumakap rin sakin si Tita Xen.
"By the way Cleine,I want you to call me Mommy from now on." Tita Xen whispered and that leaves me shock.
Oh freak. Ano tong napasok ko?
