I drink on my wine and looked at dad who's now happily looking at my brother. Today is the engagement party of my brother; Ken, to his girlfriend Ara. As I looked at them, they both wearing happy smiles on their faces while entertaining their guest.
"Ikaw. Tristan, when will you introduce your girlfriend to us, naunahan ka pa ng kapatid mo," Natawa nalamang ako sa sinabi ng aking ama, saka ako lumagok ng wine at ngumiti sakanya.
These past few days, dad keeps nagging me to find a girlfriend. Gano'n na ba ako katanda? I'm just 19, It's just that Ken and Ara's too inlove with each other kaya pinili na nilang bumuo ng sariling pamilya.
Dad was about to say something again nang biglang maagaw ang atensiyon namin nang magkagulo sa main door. Nagpaalam siya at sinabing titingnan niya kung anong nangyayari. Pagkaalis niya napatingin ako sa kapatid ko. He has never been so happy, not even before. Well hindi naman sa hindi siya masaya dati. Hays, iba nga talaga ang nagagawa ng pagibig..
Ken is one year younger than me pero mas maaga niyang nahanap ang tunay na pagibig kaya ayun ngayon ikakasal na ang loko.
Nabaling ang aking atensiyon nang bumalik si dad kasama si lola. Hays alam kong pipilitin nanaman ako nitong humanap na ng nobya. "Dad, Grandma."
"Tristan, haven't you thought about getting a girlfriend yet?"
"Err.. Grandma, I heard your feeling unwell these days. Is grandma okay?"
Dad shook his head. "You're changing the topic, tristan."
Nangibit balikat na lamang ako, like I usually do kapag ayaw ko ang pinag-uusapan.
