"Girlfriend mo, hijo?"
Tanong nung driver. Nasa likod kami ni Nat— ang dalawang kamay niya ay nakayakap sa braso ko, natutulog. She was burning, hindi ko alam na lalagnatin siya dahil kanina ay parang hindi naman siya nabasa.
I just chuckled, how I wish.
"Hindi po," sagot ko.
I was confused because that made him laugh, he was like in his fifties, "Kaibigan lang?" he asked again.
I let out a chuckle, are we friends?
I know we're kinda friends? But I'm pretty sure it's not more than that.
"Kind of, sir." I answered.
Natawa na lang siya at inasar ako ng konti dahil masyado raw akong halata. I mean, I do like her, but... I don't know. Parang... basta, ewan. Naguguluhan rin ako.
Nang tumigil ang sasakyan sa address na binigay ni Nat ay may kotse na naka para sa harap ng gate nila at may babae doon na parang kaidaran lang ni mama.
She's probably going out, since I noticed that she was locking the gate. Ako naman ay dahan dahan na ginising si Nat.
She managed to stand up and got out of the car but when I finally got our bags, her sleepy eyes met mine.
I was taken aback when she encircled his arms around me then rested his head on my chest.
Nasa harap na kami ng bahay nila, yung sasakyan naman namin kanina ay nakaalis na kaya mag-isa na 'ko dito. Gigisingin ko na sana ulit si Nat nang biglang lumapit sa amin yung babae kanina na paalis na.
Was she their maid?
"Who are you? What are you doing with my daughter!?" she questioned, raising a brow at me, making me shiver 'cause first, I didn't expect that... she was Nat's mother. Second, I thought she was their maid.
God, forgive me. I didn't know! I mean there's nothing wrong with it naman diba?
"Uh, ma'am, apologies, it was raining a while ago and I think she's working too much— she has a fever." I explained.
She was sharply looking at me, so I didn't know what to do.
"Ash, c'mon." she said but of course Nat didn't move since she was sleeping on my chest.
