Chapter 9
"M-Mom..."
"I'm asking you, son."
"Uhm, si ano kasi Mom si... si Mikaella kasi—"
"Oh my god, Travis! What have you done?!" Napahilot ito sa sintido habang pauli-uli. "Naku sinasabi ko sa 'yo mapapatay ka ni Dr. Murió kapag nalaman niya ito."
"Mom, just calm down."
"Calm down? How can I? My goodness son you had sex with your—"
"No! We didn't."
"What?"
"Nagkakamali ka ng iniisip, Mom. Walang nangyari sa amin, okay? Iyon ang kanina ko pa gustong sabihin."
Kagaad na napalitan ng pagtataka ang galit niyang mukha. I took a deep breath before proceeding to my explanation. She held my wrist and pulled me a little to seat on the bed so we can talk better here. Puno ng katanungan ang mga mata niya, naguguluhan sa mga nangyari.
"So ano ba talagang nangyari huh?" tanong nito na animoy mag-tropa lang kami.
"We just played, Mom," I casually answered at pinaningkitan kaagad ako nito ng mata.
"At anong play iyan? Bahay-bahayan? Asa-asawahan?"
"Nah, it wasn't like that, okay?" I held my Mom's hand and looked at her eyes while explaining so she will know that I am telling the truth. One thing also that she taught us. "I just came home earlier from buying gifts for Mikaella. I headed to my room to ready my gifts but when I opened the door, she was inside and she surprised me with a cake, confetti, and a balloon— a condom to be specific. It was an embarrassing story but yeah to make the story short we blown those condoms."
I almost wanna melt in my position right now because of the things I narrated to my mom. She burst out into laughter that made me feel annoyed.
"Hahahaha! Ano nakain n'yong dalawa? You looked stupid with that son. My goodness! I can't imagine you blowing those— hahahaha! Never mind."
"Mom, hindi nakakatuwa."
"Hahaha pft— pasensya na hindi ko mapigilan. Nai-imagine kasi kita." Tumawa pa itong lalo na animoy kinikiliti sa tiyan.
Nagawa pa nitong magpagulong-gulong sa kama habang yakap ang sikmura. Nakasimangot lang akong nakatitig sa kawalan dahil sa nakakaasar na tawa ng nanay ko.
"Mommy, ako na iyong galit."
"Pa'no iyong galit?" nang-aasar nitong tanong at tumawa ulit.
"Argh! Mom, nakakainis ka."
"Pikon na, baby Tav-tav ko." Pumwesto ito sa likod ko at niyakap ako. "Twenty-one ka na ngayon pero syempre baby pa rin kita."
"Hayaan na natin si Hope, Mom."
"I heard my name."
Kapwa kami napalingon sa pintuan at nakita roon ang bunso namin nakatayo. Nakabusangot ang mukha at para bang pinagtaksilan. Sinenyasan ito ni Mom na lumapit na agad naman nitong ginawa. Pinapagitnaan na namin ngayon ang nanay namin.
"Paano ba 'yan ako raw baby ni Mommy?"
"Huwag kang assuming, Kuya. The last time I checked, ako ang bunso sa pamilya."
"I'm the youngest boy in the family."
"And the oldest boy too."
"The perks of being the only boy in the family," I surrendered.
"You're twenty-one na, Kuya. Hindi ka na baby. Aw wawa. 'Di na baby ng Mommy."
"Stop it."
"Hindi ka na baby 'no. Pwede ka na nga mag-asawa."
