Z A N E

Sunday ngayon. Dumaan ako sa bahay nila Vince para bisitahin si Tita Louie, matagal na daw kasi akong hindi dumadalaw. It's only been a week since.

"Hija, I'm glad to see you again!" She excitedly hugged me. "How have you been?"

"I'm also glad to see you po, I'm fine po. Kayo po ba?"

She offered me to sit. "Eto, I'm fine din. Pupunta daw kayo Airport?"

I furrowed. "Ah yes po, san niyo po nalaman?" She pointed at Vince, tumango naman ako at nagsmile.

"I'll pick up mommy po kasi mamaya, kaya pumunta muna ako dito." Vince sat beside me and poked my waist.

"Tangina ka," I murmured. "You want to come, Tita? Para magkita po kayo ni Mommy?"

"Oo nga, Mom. You should come, It's been a long time since you saw Tita Stella. Why not?" Vince.

"Yeah, I would love too, Hija." She smiled big. "Anong oras mo ba siya susunduin?"

"Maybe 3 in the after, Mom." Sabat ni Vince.

I searched the whole area and there she is! My lovely mother has arrived!

"Mom!" I called.

"Good afternoon, Hijo!"

Una pang binati si Vince, sino anak mo Ma? I complained in my mind.

She excitedly hugged me. "I miss you anak, kamusta ka?"

"I miss you too, Mom, pero parang ang higpit po ng yakap niyo, di ako makahinga." I joked.

She saw Tita Louie at my back. "Balaeee, It's been a while," she opened her arms for a hug.

"How's business?" Kamusta naman ni Tita Louie.

"Our Business is rising! Yey!" She exclaimed excitedly.

"Ma, you and Tita should talk inside the car nalang, mainit" I furrowed my eyebrows reacting to the heat of the sun.

"Oh," I opened the back door for them.

"Vince tara na, ako na mag drive," Kinuha ko ang susi sa kanya ng deretso, nasa kamay niya lang kasi. I help up the key and tried to see if he could reach it.

"Zane, let me do it, ako na!" He widened his eyes, and sighed.

I was surprised with how he acted, lumapit siya sakin, and leaned me against the car for him to reach the key easily. Tinutukan pa ako. I slightly pushed him and cleared my throat, I immediately opened the door of the shotgun seat and kept quiet.

"Hmm, let's go?" He said as soon as he sat down in the driver's seat.

"Oo, tara na, nag iinit na kasi yung pakiramdam ko." saad ko.

"Are you guys okay?" Mom asked.

"Yes, Ma," Vince and I said in chorus.

"I mean, Tita. I thought you were Mom, I'm sorry po." He smiled nervously.

"Kayong dalawa ha? Are you hiding something from us?" Tita Louie inquired.

"Wala po!" sabay ulit naming sabi. I turned to look at him and squinted.

"Manahimik kana," I mumbled.

"Tita, you should have seen Zane's face last night, it's really funny," Vinny started again. Ilang minuto nalang makakauwi na din ako, ayokong marinig yan.
