Reycepaz's Reverie (Completed)

Chapter 20: Complicated

"Oliver? W—Why are you here?"

Takang tanong ni mama ng makita nito si papa na kinakausap ako.

"Steph, listen. Dati ko pang gustong makapasok dito, pero sa tagal ng panahon ngayon ko lang nalaman ang passcode ng pintoan na 'yan."

Tila natatawa nalang ako sa paliwanag ni papa habang ipinapakita pa nito ang kanyang gestures na nagpapahiwatig sa kaniyang mga sinasabi, I didn't know, that even him also wanted to enter mom's closet. Paano kasi, ayaw daw kasi ni mama na masira ang kanyang mga arrangements.

"Anyway, we should not fight about that anymore. It's one of her special days. Let's just focus on the first date of our unique daughter. " pagbago sa topic ni papa kay mama habang turo ako na Ina ayos ang mga maliit na details sa sinuot ko.

"We must." bitin na sagot naman ni mama habang naka-crossed ang mga kamay nito.

"Osha! Ihatid mo na 'tong napakagandang anak mo, baka ma abotan pa'to ng hating-gabi " dagdag pa nito.

"Of course, ihahatid ko siya, but make sure na pag-uwi ko nakabihis ka na okay? We're going somewhere, let's have a date too..." sambit ni papa na ngayon ay nasa likod ni mama habang hawak ang naka-crossed na mga braso nito at dahan-dahan naman ito sinasayaw ni papa na sinusundan naman ni mama sa pagbayo.

I can't seem to explain the joy I felt when I heard what dad said to mom. It's like I just don't want to go on my date and I'll just go with them and see how happy they are.

Mom let go of dad's hug and grabbed me straight away and held my hand.

"I know what you're thinking. Don't let that man wait for nothing.."

Those are the last words I heard from mom before I bid goodbye and boarded my dad's exposed red carbon fiber and white bugatti chiron.

"Dito lang dad." Usisa ko sa kaniya ng matatanaw na ng aking mga mata ang lugar kung saan kami magkikita.

"Pero, diba medyo malayo pa dito yung—"

"Dad, don't worry. As you said earlier, you're going to respect all my decisions. Put me down and get back there, because you still have a date. don't let mom wait for nothing."

Natatawa man at napakati sa ulo ay agad naman itong nagpaalam at bilis na bumalik sa bahay upang sunduin si Mama.

Let me say it again, natatawa talaga kaming dalawa matapos kung inulit ang sinabi kanina ni mama sa akin.

Kunting lakad lang naman at mararating ko na ang ni-reserve na venue nito para sa aming dalawa, the Otakuyaki gourmet house.

I know it's not the best place to start our first date—or should I say blind date? But this is 5 stars according to people na nakapunta na rito.

Blind date kasi, ngayon niya lang ako makikita and I don't even know how to start the conversation o kung siya man 'yung magsasalita ng una hindi ko naman alam kong ano ang isasagot.

He said na exclusive lang ang venue na 'yun for us this evening and he said that he will bring his famous friend who will be the chef tonight and for us to choose our viand freely.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit ang Gourmet house na ito ang pinili niya. He said that this house was special.

One last step and here I am looking at him from behind.

Ako ay kinakabahan, and I don't know what this feeling was.

Should I enter?
