The Legacy's Hidden Gem

Chapter 4

Iris POV

Morning came, nagising nalang ako between my parents. Sinong hindi magigising kung maka tulog sila parang walang in between them na-suffocate na ko. They're hugging each other so tight! I didn't wake them up nalang mukha kasing ang sarap ng tulog nila.

Well i did my routine, naligo, i wore my uniform i am still in my senior high so we have to wear our uniform. Pagkabalik ko sa bedroom ko I saw my parents na naghaharutan, oh lord, napa cover ako ng mata ng akmang hahalikan ni dad si mom. Magharutan wagas parang hindi nasa kwarto ng anak nila.

"Uhmm parents I know you love each other but no need nang ipakita sa akin. Also, may i remind you that your in your daughter's room,thank you" i said still covering my eyes.

"Ayan Gregorio sabi sayo! Mag-ayos kana don sa kwarto" Mom scolded Dad and it made me laugh when i saw dad pouted ng parang bata.

" Good morning dad!" I greeted him " just follow what mom said, baka ma bad mood pa 'yan" i whisper, sabay pa kaming tumawa.

"Ano nanaman yan?"Mom saw us. Oh god sana di niya narinig.

"Wala yun my beautiful mother! Good morning! Wag stress! Maaga pa!" I greeted her and kissed her cheeks.

"Good morning too bunso! Mag-ayos ka lang diyan I'll prepare breakfast lang. Gregorio mag ayos ka na din!" They went out of my room. Haysss I really admire my parents relationship, i hope I'll have that in the future.

But before that, I have to finish my studies first! After kong mag-ayos I went down immediately at smelled pancakes! I was shocked too see nandito na sila lahat, even dad.

"Wow ang bilis niyo mag-ayos ha"

"Kayong mga babae lang naman ang matagal mag-ayos" kuya alfy said. Timing naman na lumabas si Ate Jade kuya Alfys wife, sa kwarto nila kasama si Andy. Sumbong ko tong Alfredong to.

"Oh hi ate Jade! Sabi daw ni kuya alfy antagal mo daw mag-ayos!" Sumbong ko. Ha! Akala niya ha..

Babawiin pa sana ni kuya alfy yung sinabi niya pero napagtaasan na siya ng kilay ni nate jade. She greeted mommy, Daddy and me and skipped sa asawa niya, that made me smirk. Nasa akin ang huling halakhak. Wala sila kuya kasi dumiretso na sila sa bahay nila kagabi.

Nung ready na ang lahat sumakay na kami sa saksakyan. I'm with Dad, kuya Alfy is on their car already on their way to work and their homes, we'll see again each other next week end. I sigh...

"Whats the problem?" Dad asked me. Oh god, he heard it.

Umiling ako. "Nothing dad, I just miss kuyas already." I pouted.

Ginulo niya yung buhok ko " you'll see them again next weekend don't worry"

"We're here" Nandito na pala kami sa school. Di ko man lang namalayan. I'm studying here in Ateneo de Manila where Dad is an alumna.

I immediately saw my friend Angelo, naghihintay ampota- oppss hehe

"Bye Dad, love you. Drive safely." I kissed his cheeks.

"Bye bunso, study well" he kissed my forehead.

I immediately went to Angelo, lutang ang sira. I have to snap my fingers infront of him to wake him up to reality. Taray noh? Thanos ang peg.

"Oh, nandito ka na pala."

"Kanina pa tanga. Tara na nga, kanina ka pa jan lutang." I drag him with me papunta sa room ko. His from ABM kase and I'm from HUMMS. His classroom is next to ours lang naman kaya okay lang.

"Iniisip mo jowa mo?" Tanong ko sakanya, tulala nanaman kasi ang shunga.

"Ha? Wala nga akong jowa, ano ba?" Sabat niya.

"Eh anong nangyari sa kinukwento mo dati? Akala ko ba nililigawan mo yun?" May kinuwento siya sakin, type niya daw, ang dami niyang sinabi tungkol kay girl tapos di parin sila?

"Wala bawal pa yun, kung mag 18 nalang siya." Ngumisi pa ang gago.

"Ang di pa nag dedebut? Ka batch natin?" I ask, tumango naman siya. Suddenly the bell rang, the class will start na... Pinalayas ko yung lutang.

After our class we planned to go sa mall with my marites friend Kate. Silang Dalawa lang ang may alam na Marcos Araneta ako.

You might wonder kung ano yung ginagamit kong last name sa school. I use De Jesus as my last name, if your thinking na weird yung name okay na yan kesa sa sinuggest ni kuya alfy na Batungbakal mayghad.

We're here at SM nag arcade kami kanina, and now kumakain na. We got tired of playing. Many people were actually looking at us kase ang lalaki na namin tas naglalaro pa kami sa ganoong lugar.

Well hindi naman kasi namin alam na may age limit yung paglalaro sa arcade.

We're here sa food court, bumibili i got us two orders of takuyaki, Angelo bought Gulaman and Kate bought mixed street food like kikiam, fish flat, squid ball.

"Dzay, did you hear the chismis?" Naka-on na ata ang pagiging marites nito.

"Hmm?" We just hmm ni angelo kase may pagkain pa mga bibig namin.

"May transferee daw, bukas mag-attend ng klase, future classmate mo." Turo niya sakin.

"Oh? Ano ngayun?" I asked. what's wrong with having transferee? Atleast dadami kami.

" Okay sana, kaso madaming rumor na bully daw si girl and nilalandi ang kung sino sino. She's a drop out from UP daw." Chika niya, grabe naman maka-react si angelo, angel yung pangalan pero grabe mag judge.

"Hoy grabe kayo, we haven't met her nga ganyan na kayo" Defense ko, like who are we to judge.

"Alam mo Iris minsan naiirita ako sa pagiging angelita mo, try mo maging demonyita, masaya din " Sabi naman ni kate, natawa na lang ako sa kanya.

"Ayoko na maging demonyita ano, nakaka skin karma daw yon sabi ni mama meldy at tata." Tumawa naman ang mga loko.

After we ate umuwi na si kate dahil tinatawag na daw siya ng mommy niya

I text kuya driver na sunduin na ako sa mall.

"Oh di ka pa uuwi? Anong oras na?" I asked Angelo nasa likod ko parin siya.

"I'll wait with you here, mahirap na" aww.. mabuti nalang talaga mabuti modo nito.

After a while, nandito na si kuya Jose, our driver.

"Sabay ka nalang kaya? Mukhang wala pa sundo mo" Aya ko sakanya.

"Papunta na yun, mauna ka na..." At umalis.

Kaya sinabihan ko nalang si kuya jose na umandar, para makauwi na.
