The woman in front of us is still speaking but I couldn't understand what she's saying anymore. Dahil imbes na siya ang intindihin ko nang mga oras na 'yon ay iba ang nasa isipan ko.
Why is Mom calling me again?
She never bugs me like this before. Especially when she knows that I'm currently doing something or I'm at an event.
Kahit pa na may gustong-gusto siyang sabihin sa akin ay hindi niya ako tatawag-tawagan. But today, she called me a few times! Ano nanaman ba ang kailangan niya?
Dumapo ang mga mata ko kay Adalyn at nakita ko siyang nakatitig rin sa akin. Her face is kind'a asking me, 'what's going on?' but she just couldn't voice it out. Napabuntong hininga nalang ako bago tuluyang sagutin ang tawag ni Mom.
"I'm at the event, what do you need?" I said right after I answered her call. Narinig ko ang mahina niyang tawa sa kabilang linya na siyang nakapagpainis lang sa akin lalo.
Seriously? What the hell is wrong with her?
"Why are you so boiled up? Is checking on you not okay?" she asked. I can feel her smile while saying those words.
Napapikit ako ng mariin nang dahil sa sinabi niya. Kanina tinawagan niya na ako para kamustahin, tapos ngayon tumawag siya para mangamusta nanaman?
