Yakap
Kinabukasan ng hapon, pinaunlakan nina Daddy at Mommy ang pagtawag ng Dean ng NU upang kausapin matapos ng sagutan namin ni Miss Pereza kahapon.
“Why did you answer your prof that way, Thrana?” That's what my dad asked as we get back to home. Mahinahon lang iyong itinanong ni dad.
Si Mommy ay ihinatid muna ni dad sa kwarto nila upang makapagpahinga raw.
Tumingin ako sa mga mata niya, umaasang maniniwala siya sa isasagot ko. “Nagtanong po kasi siya. Sumagot lang naman ako.” Dahilan ko.
He then approached me. His usual cold eyes turned concerned. He put those lose strands of my hair behind my ear. “Baby, that was wrong. She is a professional teacher. She deserves—”
I bowed my head. “Respect... Fine. I'm sorry. I won't do it again.” I promised to him.
The next thing I knew, I was envelope in his arms while giving my forehead a kiss. “Don't do it again, baby. What's wrong must remain wrong. What's good must be showcase at all times. Are we clear, young lady?”
I nodded, hug him back. “Lo siento, daddy.” I sincerely apologized.
Finally, he chuckled. Kumalas ito sa yakap at ginulo ng bahagya ang buhok ko. “Apology accepted. Now, go to your room and prepare yourself. We'll be having our dinner with the Alviejo's.”
Nanliit ang mata ko sa narinig. Alviejo? Does this mean that Troy will be there as well later?
“Including Troy—I mean.. Trojan?” Ipinagsawalang-bahala ko na lamang ang kakaibang tuwang umusbong pagkabanggit sa pangalan niya.
“Excluding his first born Alviejo.” Dad ruined my expectation.
Ilang segundo yata akong natahimik. Napansin iyon ni dad kung kaya't muli niyang ginulo ang buhok ko.
“A-Akyat na po ako.”
“Go ahead.”
Bakit ba kasi aasa akong dadalo ang Troy na iyon sa mga ganitong sosyalan? Galit sa tatay niya 'yon kaya malamang hindi siya kasama.
I was busy choosing which is better to wear tonight—this baby blue tie back ruffle trim wrap slip dress or puff sleeve ruffle hem floral print dress. They are both stylish and I like them.
A phone ring was the reason for my sudden interruption of choosing. I swipe it on the answer button and put between my ear and shoulder. “What is it, bitch?” It's Raia who called.
“Balita ko may dinner daw kayo with Trojan's dad and step-bro's? Is it true, girl?” She giggled.
How did she know it? Kami-kami lang magkakausap dito, paano nakaabot sa tainga niya? Napailing ako. Walang mabagal na balita sa mabilis na bibig ng mga tsismosa.
“Yup. We have dinner with them. Why? Wanna come?” Matunog akong ngumisi.
In the end, I picked the baby blue tie back ruffle trim wrap slip dress.
“Gusto ko sana kaya lang si Ate Adira, ayaw akong payagan lumabas dahil gabi na. Wala kasi sina mommy at daddy ngayon. Hindi pa nakakauwi.” She replied hopelessly.
I chuckled. “She's doing the right thing, girl. Maybe, next time you can. But tonight, mag-Netflix ka na lang diyan.”
Hindi na humaba pa ang usapan namin ni Raia. Kumatok na kasi si dad, ako na lang ang hinihintay. Sumagot lang akong malapit na rin matapos, naga-apply lang ng light make-up.
Wearing a baby blue tie back ruffle trim wrap slip dress partnered with my white Gucci heels and a Serpenti Viper Necklace, I stormed out my room.
