Family is where the home is

Chapter 19

IRENE’S POV
I enjoyed shopping dahil matagal tagal din akong hindi nag shopping dahil busy ako sa work, I admit nakagastos ako ng Malaki pero ok lang, I deserve to spoil my self din naman, and while I am busy shopping napansin kung may kasama pala ako which is si cheska at greggy, I treated cheska, and ignore greggy nalang because I want to enjoy shopping kaya kahit anjan siya  invisible nalang siya sa paningin k dahil ayaw kung sirain ang araw ko

SKIP
Mga 6 pm nakabalik na kami ng hotel at dahil naparami ang shinaping ko ang dami naming bitbit ni cheska, maski si greggy marami rin, at saktng pagkadating namin ng hotel nadaanan namin na nakabalik narin silang lahat at kumakain, nagkunwari nalang akong walang Nakita at dumerederetso pero kung minamalas ka naman oh, tinawag pa kami ni manang

“Irene!” manang shouted, hindi na sana ako susulyap at kunwaring walang narinig pero..

“miss, tinatawag po kayo ng manang niyo” cheska said

“mauna na kayo sa taas, susunod ako” I said

“sure po” greggy and cheska nooded at pumasok na ng elevator, agad naman ako pumunta sa kanila manang

“irene, san kayo nagpunta ang tagal niyo naman” mama meldy said

“diyan lang po sa mall, nag shopping” I said

“enjoy?” manang teasingly ask

“yes and why are you looking at me like that?” I ask

“uy yes daw oh” bonget laughingly said
“aba syempre kasama niya si greggy” manang said at look at me strange (mukhang aasarin nanaman ako neto) i said in my mind

“huh” I said

“ha? Hatdog” bonget said

“come on mommy, don’t deny it, we saw you kanina sa mall, with cheska and dad, you three eating together” louis said

“di man lang nag aya, parang di family” alfonso said

“kaya nga tita, magkatabi pa nga kayo ni tito greggy kumain eh, tas kaharap niyo si cheska” Sandro said and laugh

“ay ahahahaahha, dapat pala sinama nalang namin si cheska saamin, para hindi siya naging third wheel sainyo” bonget laughingly said

“see, irene, may naka kita, next time kasi, do in private place” manang teasingly said

“ok let me explain hah, yang mga utak niyo kasi, sumusobra na” I said in serious way “ ganito kasi yon, all of you kanina umalis nagkanya kanyang gala, at kami ni cheska naiwan dito at wala pang driver so, I decided na gumala rin since wala naman akong gagawin dito, and while waiting in the lobby cheska call 1 of the drivers pero ni isa sa kanila walang bumalik, and greggy here, insisted na siya nalang maghatid saamin” I explained

“so pumayag ka naman” manang ask

“yes, dahil ang kulit ng kasama ko at greggy keep insisting at nakaka inis ang pamimilit nila saakin” I said

“ah, yon naman pala, ok sige shut up na kami, keep slaying nalang” all of them laughingly said at sabay sabay na nagtinginan, at aalis na sana ako pero biglang nag salita si mommy

“irene, come, sit here beside me muna” mama meldy said

“what it is mom?, deretsuhin niyo na ako, at gusto ko ng mag pahinga” I said in a low voice

“hindi ba bukas na ang uwi natin?” mommy ask

“yes mommy, why?” I ask

“maiiwan pa rin ba ang mga anak mo dito?” mommy ask
