I groggily reached out for my phone that's been ringing for the past I don't know, maybe 10 minutes?Who on Earth bothers me this early?Oh it's mom.I wonder why though.
"Hi ma, kakagising ko lang bakit ka tuma—" [T:Hi mom, I just woke up why are you cal—]
"VALERIE CRUZ TUMINGIN KA NA BA NG BALITA!?" [T:VALERIE CRUZ HAVE YOU CHECKED THE NEWS!?]
I think my eardrums broke.Wait did she say news?What news?Is something wrong?Well judging from her ear-piercing voice, there is something wrong.
"Hindi ma, kakagising ko nga lang.Ano ba yon?" [No mom, I told you I just woke up.What is it?]
"Ang dispatch may nilabas na mga picture mo! May kasamang lalaki!Bumibili ng mga gamit sa bahay!Tapos bumibili pa kayo sa Gucci ha!" [Dispatch released pictures of you!With a guy! And your buying furnitures!Then you're also buying Gucci eh!]
Shit.They're suspecting I'm dating again aren't they?
"Sabi ko na nga ba may boyfriend ka na eh! Ka live-in mo ba yung lalaki!?He's one of the members isn't he?My god Valerie!
[I knew you're dating someone already!Are two living in the same house together?!]
Jeez.Why do they have to put malice on everything we do?I mean seriously.We've been on the same group for what, 3 years!Why do they even bother making up stories?Because we're having a comeback?
"Mom!That's Chenle,magkasama kami kasi nga pareho kaming may kailangan bilhin!Napaka malisya naman nila!" [ we're together because both of us needs to buy something!They're so malicious!]
"Porket magkasama lang lumabas mag-jowa na agad?!" [We just went out together and we're already dating!?]
"You know hija, there's nothing wrong ok? Ang gusto lang namin ni Daddy mo is hindi ganoon okay?Bata ka pa.I'm a Doctor Valerie, isipin mo na lang iisipin ng tao dahil don." [ What we're only saying is not like that okay? You're still young.I'm a Doctor Valerie, just think of what others would think of us because of that.]
I sighed.I didn't want any of this to happen.We literally just went to the mall together and people went to chaos and made up stories already.
"I know ma, bye"
I hunged up right after.What if they spoil my surprise?This is getting annoying.
I checked my phone, and just like what mom told me, Dispatch already made up a whole story about how we're 'secretly dating' and are 'living together'.One day I'll burn Dispatch to ashes for that.
