Zay's POV
We're here at the dining room, eating. Kanina pa palipat-lipat ng tingin ang mga magulang ko sa amin ni Azhton.
"Uh, sweetie, wala ka bang balak ipakilala ang bisita mo sa amin?" Said Mom.
Wala. Tch!
At bakit ako pa? Ba't hindi nalang kayo? Tsk!
"Sabi ko nga eh. By the way hijo, I'm Yienne. Just call me Tita and he's my husband, Zayd." Pag-iintroduce ni Mommy. I just tsked.
"I'm Azhton Lyzandrei Forstein. Nice to meet you po."
Magalang ah.
"Saan kayo nagkakilala ng anak ko?" I just mentally rolled my eyes sa tanong na 'yon ni Mommy. Mag-uumpisa nanaman siya. Tsk.
"At school, Tita." magalang na sagot nito.
"Are you courting my daughter?"
"Dad!" inis na saway ko sa kanya pero nginisihan lang niya ako. Damn you old man!
"U-uh, No, Tito." Parang nahihiya pa nitong sagot. Tsk.
"Pourquoi êtes-vous ici?"
(Why are you both here?)
Pag-iiba ko ng topic sa kanila. Nakita ko namang napakunot-noo si Azhton. Tsk.
"Vous visitez. Est-ce mauvais?"
(Visiting you. Is it bad?)
I just tsked on what had Mom said. As if maniniwala akong binibisita lang nila ako dito. Tsk.
"Comme si je te croirai."
(As if I'll believe you.)
Natawa naman siya. Tsk.
"I heard, magiging representatives daw kayo?" Napapikit ako dahil sa sinabi niya.
Kaya pala.
"Is that the reason why you're here?" pigil-inis kong tanong.
"Yes, we're also here to support you, cherie."
Damn it!
Malilintikan ka talaga sakin Zayne!
"Is she cooperating at your every trainings, hijo?"
Napa-roll eyes nalang ako sa tanong ni Dad kay Azhton. The pageant will happen the day after tomorrow.
"She is, Tito. She's good."
Napatanga naman ako sa sagot niya. Oh really huh?
"Good to hear that." Napapangisi niyang sabi. Tss!
"We're done. Please excuse us, we need to talk privately." sabi ko saka tumayo at umalis. Naramdaman ko namang sumunod si Azhton kaya dumiretso nalang ako sa salas.
"Spill." sabi ko na ang tinutukoy ay ang dahilan ng pagpunta niya dito.
"Dean told me that the pageant will advance a day so it'll be tomorrow night."
WTF?!
Tomorrow night?!
"And why is that?" kunot-noong tanong ko sa kanya. He just shrugged. The heck?
"Just be yourself. We don't have any choice anyway."
Napatiim-bagang nalang ako. Ano nanamang pakulo 'to?! Kainis ah!
"I'll go now. See you tomorrow." He said saka nagpaalam na din kina Mom and Dad. Tsk.
"Feel free to come back, hijo."
Tiningnan ko naman ng masama si Mommy dahil sa sinabi niya.
"I will, Tita. Bye!" nakangiting aniya saka na umalis. Tsk.
I felt weird on his smile. Tss!
"He's good, huh? I like him." Mom commented and I just tsked.
