LENI.

"Mama Lens, I really like this one. I know Mama will love it!" Sam pointed at a ring. "Miss, we'll get this ring." I smiled at Sam as I told the saleslady and put my phone into my pocket.

Sam and I we're picking a ring for Risa. In a few weeks, Risa and I, we'll celebrate our second annivesary together and I feel like it's time. It's time for me to ask Risa to marry me. Sam gave me his permission to marry his Mama. I let Sam pick our engagement ring to be more special for the both of us.

Nung nakuha ko na yung singsing bigla akong kinabahan. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero sobrang uneasy nung feeling. Baka rin siguro dahil nag kape ako kanina at nag papalpitate lang siguro ako dahil sa caffine.

"Mama Lens, are you okay? Namumutla ka po. Ano po ba sabi ni Mama?" Sam asked. "Kinabahan lang ako bigla, anak." I smiled at Sam, trying to shrug the uneasy feeling off. "Sabi nga pala ng Mama pauwi na siya. Kaya let's buy dinner. Itake out nalang natin so we can eat with Mama at home. Ano ba ang gusto ng Saja ko?" I ruffled his hair.

"I want Max's Mama." Sam smiled.

The way that Sam smiles just makes the odd feeling disappear. Yung ngiti niya ay pareho nung kay Risa. Ang gaan agad ng pakiramdam ko.

"Max's it is then."

Bumili kami ni Sam ng different meals for take out at umuwi na din kami.

Pagdating namin sa bahay ay nagtaka agad ako kung bakit wala pa ang sasakyan ni Risa sa garahe. She should be here by now. Kanina ko pa siya nakatext at sinabing pauwi na siya.

We went inside and I asked Manang Cecilia to prepare the foods dahil baka dumating na din si Risa in any minute.

Baka na traffic lang...

An hour passed by at wala parin si Risa. Sinabi ko na kay Manang Cecilia na pakainin na si Sam dahil medyo late na din at kailangan na matulog ni Sam kasi may pasok pa siya bukas.

"Mama never came home late..." Sam yawned. "I know. But don't worry. I'll wait for Mama to come home okay?"

Sam gave me a nod as answer. "Good night, Saja." I tucked him and kissed his forehead. "Good night, Mama Leni."

Sam became so independent at the age of eight. We used to read Sam a book before bed pero Sam started reading bedtime stories on his own and since then pumupunta nalang kami ni Risa sa room ni Sam kapag mag gogood night kami.

I turned off the lights in Sam's room and closed the door. Pumunta ako sa sala to wait for Risa. I decided to text our friends baka nahaya sa gala ng biglaan or what.
