Ramdam ko ang pagod nang makauwi ako. After I took a hot shower ay nakatulog agad ako that I forgot to update my bestfriend about my date.
I woke up late the next day. I immediately looked at the stand clock on the nightstand beside my bed and I was just shaken to see the time. It's already 10 am in the morning. Uminat ako saka nagdesisyon ng bumangon at ayusin ang sarili. Naghilamos ako then brushed my teeth. After I cleaned myself ay lumabas na ako ng aking kwarto. Sabado ngayon kaya walang pasok sa school si Mommy. Nadatnan ko silang nag-uusap ni daddy sa living room.
"Good morning, dear" saad ni Daddy ng makita akong papalapit sa kanila.
"Goodmorning din po, daddy, mommy" I responded and kissed them two.
"Kumusta ang lakad kagabi, anak?" Mommy asked. Alam kong curious silang pareho sa nangyari kagabi.
"Okay naman po. That Ian is kind". I answered.
"Nag enjoy ka rin ba?" -daddy.
Tipid akong tumango. "Oo naman po".
"I doubt it" - mommy.
Bumuntong hininga ako saka umupo sa sofa. "Nag-enjoy naman po ako, kaya lang hindi ko po type is Ian" pag-amin ko.
"Si Sean ba gusto mo na agad sa unang pagkikita niyo palang?" biglang sabi ni daddy. Natahimik ako sa narinig. Bigla kong naalala kung gaano ako kasuplada kay Sean noon.
Afterwards, siniko ni Mommy si daddy. Alam ko kung bakit niya iyon ginawa. Umiba ang aura ng mukha ko ng masali sa usapan ang pangalan ni Sean at alam kong napansin iyon ni Mommy.
Napakagat ako sa aking labi at malalim na bumuntong hininga. I saw an invitation card on top of the table next. Kinuha ko iyon at binuksan.
"What is this, Mom?" Tanong ko kay mommy.
"Engagement party bukas ng anak ng principal namin".
"Ohhh?"
"We are invited on the party"
"We?!"
Tumango si Mommy. "Isama raw kita sa party sabi ng principal namin, sweetie "
"What? Really, mommy?'
"Oo"
"Ayaw ko mommy " tanggi ko.
"Bakit?"
"T-they are associated with Sean. I don't want to meet him again".
"Sean is not here. I asked the principal about Sean, and he's in Baguio this week. Don't worry ".
"Are you sure, mommy?"
Tumango na naman ulit si Mommy.
"Okay, I'll go. Pero why do I need to go to that party? Hindi naman natin sila kaano-ano" reklamo ko.
"To be honest, the principal wants to meet you. The last time you went to school, you didn't even say hello to her."
