Naughtiness

"Here's your favorite café con leche from Toma Café, my lovely niece." Tita Vadrena put the coffee I was ordering at the island counter where we were sitting.

"Thanks." I said and took a sip. Her stare made me look at her with questioning eyes. "What?"

She sips on her early wine and then smiled meaningfully at me. “Nothing. I'm just glad that ... you and that Troy of yours are together now. ”

I told her about my relationship with Troy, a week ago since I got home. Mentioning also what happened on the plane didn't escape. Instead of her— worrying about me, she seemed over the moon.

She's glad that it was Troy who brought me back here safely. Amd just like me, she had confidence in that person that I would not be harmed if he is with me.

Moreover, she also found out about my wrestling with Monique. If she had just been there, she would have covered her face with acid because her hand had touched mine. Damn ridiculous, Aunt.

"So do I, Aunt." a smile crepts on my lips and sipped in my coffee again.

She finely crossed her arms in front of me. She even looked at me in the eye as if searching for something in there. “You look ... glowing. Is that the effect when you're in love?”

A soft laugh escaped my mouth. "Am I?"

Even I, my own action innovate. I used to be valid and perfectly good but now? I think it has doubled.

I don't even want to mess up my clothes even when I'm sleeping. I also want my hair to always be in order.

She chuckled. “I really love Alloira. Because she just born someone like her. Or way better, huh?” She sips on her champagne flute glass again."Such a goddess, Thrana, just like Adena, Adira and Raia."

“Raia told me she's fine, Tita Andi. She's doing great.”

After Tita Vadrena left after joining me in the morning, Tita Andi and Tito Siegfried arrived.  They found out only yesterday that I had returned from the Philippines because they were too busy with work.

Tita Andi nodded. “Alright. How about Adira and Adena? Did you see them? ” she asked again.

I sat comfortably on the royal sofa while holding a martini glass. I shook my head. “En realidad, no sé dónde están Adira y Adena. Creo que, como Raia, también están bien.”

Tumango-tango siya muli habang kinakagat ang labi. Binalingan niya si Tito Siegfried. Tumingin siya sa asawa na para bang humihingi ng tulong.

Tito Siegfried chuckled. “Thrana doesn't know where Adira and Adena actually. But she knows like Raia, they're doing good.” he translated.

Bigla ay nag-iba ang tanong ni Tito Siegfried. Bahagya akong natigilan. “Actually, baby, you don't need to work. You have all the things you need.”

My eyes were shooting question. “Why?”

Tito Siegfried kissed my hair. “We don't want you to feel stress nor tired, that's why.”

I thought for a moment about what he said. Not answered yet. He was right somehow. But because I like what I do. I'm happy with what I'm doing.

Yes, I have the ability to live without working. Yes, I can get and buy what I want. But the money I spend, came from the hard work of my good parents. It’s still different when you work hard for your income, isn’t it?

“Why are you looking sad, Slurpee? Hey ... ”Troy laughed from the camera.

I leaned down in front of my laptop as Troy talked to the screen. "I miss you."
