The SON of my mothers friend.

I'm with my family, a family dinner I should say. My mom said that she had something to tell me, though I have a lot of work to do here I'm sitting in front of them. I was casually eating my food when my mom suddenly talked. "Ahmm, sweet heart we know that you don't want to settle down. But we think that you need someone who will accompany you, though we know you can but you're now 25 years old and have grown up as an independent lady." I just looked at them in my usual face and a bored face. I get what my mom's talking about but I don't need someone who will look up for me, Who am I? A child? Gosh. "What do you mean mom? Settle down? It's too early for that and in fact I'm enjoying my life as a single person I don't need someone I can literally protect myself on my own mom. " i said in a bored tone "Anak, we know that you can handle yourself. But don't you think that we're getting old? And you mom talking about is that we're planning to set you a marriage to someone who you really know" my dad said "Oh gosh" I said in disbelief "I was just a 25 year old Dad. And also I get it you and Mom are getting old and you want me to marry someone that I don't really know and love? Hell no dad I don't want that" i said in an angry tone. "Come on Sweet heart we just want our one and only baby girl to get married and have a family and also we want a grandchild now" my Mom said "Gosh mom seriously? I was not thinking about that!" I said in a bored tone again "Okay, so we just want you to know this. Whether you like it or not. And also that one that you'll be marrying is your childhood friend Alexander" my mom said I just gave them a sigh and said "If that's what you want mom and dad" I just stand up "I'm done eating I lost my appetite, and also I don't even remember someone whose name is Alexander" I said in my cold baritone voice and walked away from that dinning As I was walking and I went to my room. I'm thinking and remembering that Alexander thought his name is familiar. I went inside of my room and did my night routine. After that I think about him again. I think I heard that name but I can't remember. I was ready to sleep when I saw a picture that was displayed in my room and it was me and a 'boy? Probably yeah. I came near that picture and saw a letter written in the photo. It was 'A and X' so i guess this was what my mom was talking about for a while ago. The picture looks like he was not enjoying it, a cold expression, ig? And so I was but as I see I just saw a bored look. Gosh I remember that I'm always like this. After analyzing the picture, I just go to bed to sleep. I just have a lot of things to do tomorrow. After the last 3 days of dinner with my Mom and Dad. My mom called my secretary a while ago and said that we will be having a family dinner again to tell a story about that 'BOY' so I don't have a choice to go. I arrived at the hotel that they reserved. Will they decide here and I don't know maybe they have a business matter here.. As I was ready to enter the hotel when someone approached me and said "Neng, baka may barya ka dyan pangkain lang" saad nong lola. Nanlalambot yong puso ko pagdating sa mga ganito at di nako nag-isip ng dalawang beses naglabas ng cash. Buti nalang may cash pako kung hindi wala akong magbibigay. "Ito po la, ipangbili niyo po ng pagkain niyo. Dito lang po kayo ha? Babalikan ko po kayo mamaya" sabi ko at ngumiti "Nako malaking halaga na to neng" saad niya at ibinabalik ang dalawang libo na inabot ko "Ayos lang po. Ang mahalaga makakain po kayo. Basta antayin niyo po ako dito maya maya" saad ko and ngumiti "Oh sige salamat, pagpalain ka nawa ng buong my kapal" saad ni lola at ngumiti lamang ako Binalik ko ang dating pustora. At pinagbuksan naman ako ng guard at tinanong. "ahm mam andon na po sila Mam Celeste nag aantay na po sa inyo" saad nong guard habang ako naman at tumango. Third person Hindi alam ng dalaga na may nakita sakanya ng kabutihan na ipinakita niya sa matandaan kanina. Ang alam lamang nito na dahil nasa mamahaling hotel sila ay itatakwil nito ang matanda ngunit hindi at don napangiti ang binata. Dahil meron pa palang ganto sa panahon ngayon. Nakapasok na ang dalaga at siya naman ay pumunta sa gawin ng matanda. "Ah Lola, ano pong sabi ng babaeng iyon sainyo kanina?" Tanong ng binata sa matanda "Ayon ba iho nako sabi ay antayin ko siya rito at nagbigay ng malaking halaga, ngayon lang ako naka salamuha nang ganong mayamaan, bukod sa mayaman siya at maganda ay mayroon din siyang busilak na puso. Maswerte ang mapang-aasawa ng dalagang iyon" mahabang linanya ng matanda sa binata "Ganon ho ba lola? Maraming salamat po ito po oh. Ipangbili niyo po ng pagkain at gamot ninyo" saad ng binata at pumasok sa hotel na kanyang tinutulyan Xiah POV I was walking directly to the table that my parents reserved. As I arrived, I just did the pagmamano of course they taught that to me and as a sign of respect to our elders. And after that my mom hugged me tight gosh. After that I sit we begin eating and I initiate that I'll go talk first while eating. "Ahm Mom, Dad What will you say today? I have some importance to go after this po" i said looking at them "Oh is that so sweet? Okay we will tell you now" my mom said "Me and your dad are planning to have dinner together with a friend and also you should be there. My Best Friend and your dads best I should say. And they are the parents of your childhood friend We were saying the last 3 days ago." My mom said I was casually eating my vegetable salad when I heard that "Is that so? Okay? Can you just text my secretary what time and where" I said in a bored tone again, My mom and dad nodded after I said that. "Alam mo ba anak na my pagkakaparehas kayo nong lalaking yon? Pero ang kaibahan nga lang ay mas malala ang sakanya at kung mature ka dati mas mature siya." My mom said. 'Woah tagalog ganto ka ba talaga excited mom na makita ko uli yang sinasabi mo?' i said in my mind "And also anak if your mom said that he was more mature than you back when both of you are kids, then how much more now." My dad said I was just busy eating my food. But I'm listening and I'm just nodding to them. "Naalala ko pa nga non hindi kayo malapit sa isa't isa ih" pagkwekwento ni Mom. "Oo nga hon, tas silang dalawa ‘yung malayo sa mga anak ng iba nating kaibigan" saad din ni dad Patapos na ko sa kinakain ko and ayan pa rin topic hyts. After that I smiled at them and called the waiter. "Ahm can I take out this vegetable salad and a pasta and also oh don't forget to put some 2 bottled water there" I said to water and give my black card. While just my parents were talking about him and I heard that he was a ceo now also and they owned that 1 well known company here. As I was waiting for my order my mom showed something from her phone towards my dad. And dad gets her phone too. "I'm not even wrong he was way more mature than before hon" my dad said to my mom "See hon, he was very handsome too" my mom said also After that they looked up to me "What now mom dad?" I said in a cold tone "Woah parang ang lamig nak" pagbibiro naman ni daddy saakin and I just give a sigh "Nak look he was handsome this is your childhood friend we're talking to you" my dad said while showing the phone towards me "and your soon to be you husband baby" my mom said "Oh gosh both of you mom and dad are insane now" i said in disbelief tone and they just laughed at me I just want to go home and sleep. As i was thinking about that my order arrived so I got it and my black card. "Mom, Dad I'll get going." I said and hugged them tight "Okay then see you tomorrow sweet heart/baby" they both said and I nodded. I was now here outside of the hotel and I saw lola. So agad akong lumapit sakanya. "Lola kumain napo ba kayo?" Tanong ko "Hindi pa, sarado na rin kasi ang ibang tindahan ng gantong oras apo" saad ni lola "Ah ganon po ba, ito po oh" saad ko at sabay abot ng tinake out ko kanina "Ay nako nag-abala ka pa apo" saad ni lola "Wala po 'yon lola, sige po una na po ako" saad ko at nag paalam "Oh sige mag ingat ka" saad pabalik ni lola at ngumiti lang ako Fast forward Nakarating nako sa hotel ko at ginawa ko ang night routine ko. At pagkatapos non iniisip ko uli iyong Alexander na sinasabi nila mom. Sikat siyang CEO at kilalang kilala ang kompanya nila. Dahil sa pag-iisip unti unti akong kinain ng antok.
