Ramdam ko yung pawis ko sa kili-kili. Feeling ko nasa hot seat ako. Seryoso yung mga mukha nila mama at papa. Nagtaka ako dahil ang daming mga papel na inilalabas si papa--no, it's more like portraits.
"Iris already told us what happened", paninimula ni mama. Makakabawi rin ako saiyo, Iris! "However, we still want to hear it from you, Violet?"
"I don't know what Cyan or Iris told you, but it happened on my 18th birthday. I drank too much wine, so I don't fully remember what happened or who that person is", pagsisimula ko. Tinignan ko yung reaction ni mama. Halatang nagpipigil sa kung anu man ang sasabihin niya saakin. I know, mother.
"You've just come of age and you started drowning yourself with wine? That's so irresponsible of you, Violet. I'm disappointed".
"I'm sorry father, mother", paghihingi ko ng sorry. I know, I'm also disappointed to myself.
"From now on, you are banned from drinking. Understand?", may pahawak-hawak pa sa ulo si papa.
"Y-yes father, I understand".
"Don't be too hard on your daughter, dear. Violet is young. She is expected to make some mistakes. It is part of growing up", yes, mom. I love you. Pramis, hindi na mauulit.
"However, that doesn't mean that I'm okay with it. Since you are already an adult, Violet, you need to be responsible for everything you do. Remember that you are still a noble lady".
"Yes mother, I understand. And I'm really really sorry".
"Was it because we gave her too much freedom?", singit ni papa. Oh no! Not my freedom!
"F-father! I promise it won't happen again. I'll be responsible from now on. I won't drink any wine, just water", huwag niyo lang ako tanggalan ng kalayaan. Lumuhod na ako habang nakayakap sa tuhod ni papa.
"What are you doing, Violet? Stand up. It's not like we are going to punish you or something", ani ni papa tsaka niya ako itinayo.
"We understand that people your age are beginning to become intrigued about pleasure and want to experience and explore it", am I really hearing this from my parents? Am I getting a sex education from my parents? This is too awkward for me.
"Your father and I are disappointed because you didn't tell us right away. What if something bad happens to you? We are just worried, Violet", ani ni mama. Na-guilty tuloy ako sa sinabi ni mama.
"I apologize for not informing you sooner, mother. I was embarrassed and ashamed. I got scared that you might change your view of me".
"Oh dear. Nothing will change. You will still be our little Violet".
"Thank you, mother", sabay yakap ko kay mama. She's so warm.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of...", kumawala si mama sa pagkakayakap saakin tsaka siya pumunta doon sa table ni papa at may kinuha na mga papel. ".... because we are going to look for that young man".
