Chapter 20: I am what?!

*Alteah's POV

"Can you see me this Saturday?" he asked sweetly..

"You know I can't."

Nakita kong papasok si Mama sa kwarto ko kaya agad kong binagsak yung phone ko at itinago sa ilalim ng unan.

"Anak, I invited Mabb's family for dinner tonight. You better fix your self now." She blurted out

Napabalikwas naman ako mula sa pagkakahiga.

"What? Hindi nyo manlang tinanong opinyon ko about this?"

Mag iimbita sila tapos hindi manlang sinasabi sakin? Malalaman ko nalang kung kelang hindi na ko pwede mag back out? What exactly are they thinking!

"What's with your reaction Alteah?! They are our friends. Mabb is your best friend. Have you forgotten that?"

I'm getting pissed. "I know. I know!"

Tumayo ako at naglakad papunta sa cabinet ko. Maliligo nalang dahil mukhang wala naman na ako magagawa.

Sinundan naman ako ni Mama.

"Then what is the problem?!"

Naramdaman kong nasa likod ko sya habang kumukuha ako ng towel.

I sighed and tried to calm "Ma alam mo namang ayaw ko pa makihalubilo ngayon e."

Napilitan lang akong lumabas kahapon para hindi magtampo si Mabb. Pero to face her family? Not now.

"That is exactly my point! Ilang bwan kana sa kwartong to. Ano bang ikinatatakot mo sa mga tao?"

I was taken a bit. Ikinakatakot?Ano nga ba? Hindi ko din alam. Basta yung pakiramdam na may mali sayo na ayaw mong makita ng mga tao? Pero hindi mo alam?

"You don't know anything." i answered habang hinahanap ko yung bath robe ko.

"That's why I invited them! Kung hindi ikaw ang magsasabi sakin kung ano ang problema mo, let Mabb tell me--!"

"No!" I faced her and nakita kong maiyak iyak na sya. I don't even know if having an emotional mother is a blessing or what.

I hate seeing my mom cry. But I hate it more to know i was the one who made her cry. And I hate it most when I can't do any to stop her from crying...

"Anak.. I'm just worried.." she said between her sobs. Napaupo na din sya sa kama. "and I hate the fact na wala akong alam..." Geeez she's crying really !

Hinilot ko ang noo ko. This scene is stressing me out.

"Save it Ma. Fine! Bababa ako later. For now, just go... Pls." i said calmly.

As soon as she locked the door. Pabagsak akong nahiga sa kama.

I wish i know what to tell her.

I sighed heavily as i picked my phone under the pillow.

To my surprise hindi nga inend ang call. "Hey." Rich kid talaga.

"Relax baby.." he said from the other line. Yeah, he calls me baby di ko nalang kinokontra.

Maybe because.. i like it too?

Nah. Maybe because I just dont want to argue with him over a little thing.

"You're Mom is just worried about you... Like I do."

"Cut it." i rolled my eyes.
