' Mom! '
I said in my mind nervously and panicking. I startled when Andrew suddenly says
" I think that is not my car, is that yours? "
" H-huh Y-yeah "
Then mom suddenly honk that made us startled.
" Hey Andrea, let's go! "
Then she sees him, which made me nervous because she already saw him in the video that they had a fight.
" Hi, Good evening Mrs. Reyez "
" It's Ms. not Mrs "
" Ok my bad Mrs- i mean Ms. "
My mom just " Hmm " as an answer.
" Mom what are you doing here? "
" To fetch you "
My mom shortly said, then he suddenly said
" Go now inside, i can take care of myself "
then he smiled but i hesitate and answer
him
" No, what if you get in trouble again! Mom can we just accompany him "
Then mom glared at me
" Mom common his in trouble now "
" So? "
I heavily sigh to her
" Mom just this favor "
She just look at her phone and look around before she answer me
" Fine! But just once ok! "
" Now you go inside before i change my mind! "
My mom said and point her index finger to him.
" Y-yes Ma'am thank you! "
He said and bow then we go directly to the back seat. I sit in the right side then he sit in the left.
After that, there is some quiet loud noise but my mom decided to break it by asking him but in a cold voice
" So how was your all bruises? "
" Hmm me? "
" I'm asking you "
" O-oh ye-yes it's already good but there is sometimes it hurt mostly to my knees part, when i walk it's pretty hurt b-but I'm very well fine "
So that means he is really hurt, he should've not go to school! he should've just stay their home! This boy is really making me worried. Then my mom just say " hmm " as an answer. When she was about to said something more, I cut her
" You should've not go to school and said it to me at least I'll just make you an excuse! "
I said worried, i decided to turn my head to mom in the front mirror, but i see mom narrowed her eyes to me as like i am being specious but after seeing her like that i just eye her as a sign ' what ' but she just turn her gaze to the road and continue driving.
" I'm really fine Andrea, there's nothing to be worried of "
" I don't care! Make sure tomorrow you're not going to school I'm gonna said that to aunt! "
" I'm- "
" I don't care! As far as your already good then you can go back, but if you're still not in a good condition just.. just don't go have yet! "
After that, we just sit silently until the car are now in front of their gate
" So i got to go inside and thank you Ms. Reyez and Andrea for ride, but won't you both go inside for a bit of time? "
" No need ijo just go inside maybe your mom already worried about you. We got to go too since it's pretty late. "
" Ok Ms. Reyez have a safe ride, again thank you for accompany Ms. Reyez. "
My mom just ' hmm ' while me on the other hand just sitting there quietly and didn't said anything to him until my mom drive the car.
We are now in home, i decided to open the gate and get my mom bags and decided to go inside after that i walk straight through my room and get some clothes to change. After that i decided to go down since I'm already hungry, while im on my way down stairs the smell of bicol express slowly getting through my nose.
" Dre the food is already heated, come here now "
" Yes mom coming! "
I said not loudly but enough loudly that she can hear.
" Wow the food look good "
I said as i get the juice in refrigerator and put it in the table and slowly pull the chair and i sit
" Of course it is i cooked it "
I just chuckled and said
" Mom your really are so boastful, i will not be confused on where did i get my personality for being boastful "
My mom just laughed and i did the same thing. We just chat while eating and continue laughing
" Oh by the way mom, why to you come to school? "
" Oh actually i just had some business that want to be my partner in business to attend and you know what, they even ask me and force me to say yes in that business just to attend by me and that person is actually one of the biggest company CEO wife, and it got chance that that person is actually my old classmates aka one of my best friend in high school! "
" Really then that must be so lucky! "
" Absolutely! oh by the way i forgot to say, tomorrow at morning you may not see me here tomorrow because i need to work about what i tell about my business partner, i need to work hard for that and since that person is very successful and one of the owner of fashion brand here in Philippines i really need to and this days i perhaps become so busy and i sometimes be here ok "
" But mom you already said that that person was your old friend in your high school so why- "
" Andrea even though she is one of my old friend i still need to work hard for that and they are the first person that want to be my business partner "
" Well you have a point mom then ok "
" I'm relief that that is ok to you "
" Absolutely mom as far as your happy about it then i will just support you just like what you're doing to me "
I said then i smile and my mom sigh and give me a smile and says
" I'm thankful that i have a daughter like you "
" And I'm thankful that I have a mother like you "
After that, we finish our food and i decided to put all the dishes on the sink and i start washing it my mom even try to hesitate but i just said to here that she should just take relax and sleep since she would go up early tomorrow. I start cleaning the table and weep the floor, after that i off the light and directly go upstairs and walk straight in my room and decided to sleep since it's pretty late already.
