"Mama Meldy~"
"Manang is getting married." he casually said.
"Oh, at? Engaged na manang mo.." she replied.
"Tomorrow, dito.."
"Anong tomorrow?!" she asked, and her eyes furrowed in anger, .... or tuwa ba?
"They're getting married, bukas. Right here." dagdag naman ni Bongbong.
"Let's talk about that through lunch."tipid niyang sagot.
"Wala na, galit ang mama.." Bonget said. Paladesisyon to eh, di ba pwedeng gutom lang?
Well, hindi, Imee. I just know mom uses food upang pahupain ang kaniyang galit.
Everyone knows that, so we just kept silent from the van, to going in the restaurant, to ordering, and eating..
"Bat ang tatahimik niyo?" Mama Meldy asked to break silence.
"Galit ka?" Bonget asked.
"Why would I be? Dahil ikakasal na manang mo? About damn time!" she said.
"So cool lang tayo ma?" I ask, di ko na mapigilan.
"Ofcourse, Imee! Gutom lang ako, kayo ba!" she said and chuckled. Which completely got something off my chest.
"Si Eloise?" Irene whispered. Ay! Oo nga pala! Yung anak ko!
"Call her, Rene. Tell her I'm booking her a flight, she just needs to get ready.." I said which she then followed.
"Hello? Eloise?" Irene.
"Hello, tita Reenie! How are you guys doing?" she asked.
"First of all.. We're doing fine.. Second of all, saan ka ba?! Bat ang puti and it's so nakakasilaw!" reklamo ni Irene.
"That's just how lighting is in Singapore, tita.." Eloise replied.
"Parang hospital?" aniya naman ni Irene.
"Hahaha, that's what mommy said aswell.." natatawang sagot ni Eloise.
"Bat po kayo napatawag?" dagdag pa niya.
"We need you here, tomorrow.." Irene straightforwardly said.
"Grabe! Miss niyo na ako agad? Ang hirap niyo namang iwan. I'll be there a day after tomorrow, tita.." pabiro niya namang sagot.
"We need you tomorrow, kasi ikakasal na mommy mo.." sabi ni Irene.
"Ofcourse ikakasal na siya - she's engaged, kaya nga tayo pumunta ng New York tita, diba.." sarkastikong sagot ng anak ko.
"Bukas nga.."
"What do you mean bukas- tomorrow?? Ang wedding??" natataranta niyang tanong.
"Yes, dear.." supalpal ko naman.
"What?! Bat di niyo sinabi agad? Pano ako?" paiyak niyang sabi.
