CHAPTER 35

=== C H A E L ===

Nasa bahay kami ngayon ni Amara at nanonood ng TV. She's been living with me for a week now.

"Nakatingin ka nanaman."

I smiled and laid my head on her lap. "I'm just enjoying our time together."

"I know when you look at me like that. You want some sexy time again."

"I thought you love sexy time?"

"Tirik pa iyung araw, Chael."

"Bakit may oras ba dapat iyon?"

"Oo naman."

"Fine. Kiss mo na lang ako."

She was about to give me a kiss when I heard the doorbell.

Nagkatinginan kami. I stood up and went to the door to open it. My mother stood outside.

"Mom."

"Can I come in?"

Nilingon ko si Amara na nakatingin sa akin.

I opened the door wider and let my mother in. She immediately looked at Amara.

"I didn't know you were sleeping around again."

Nilapitan ko si Amara at hinapit ang beywang nito. "I'm not sleeping around, Mom. This is my girlfriend, Amara."

"She looks familiar."

"She used to own the flower shop before."

"Talaga ba anak? Wala ka ng mapiling iba? Alam mo ba ang family background ng babaeng iyan? Is she the reason why you didn't push through with the wedding before? Because before, you didn't care whoever it is I marry you with!"

"Yes, she's the reason why I didn't want to get married. Binago niya ang isip ko about marriages, Mom. She made me want to marry for love." I glanced at her sweetly before looking at my Mom. "She has the best personality, Mom. It is the reason I fell for her. I don't care about where she came from. She's the best woman out there for me."

"Saan ka ba nanggaling? Sinong mga magulang mo? Anong ginagawa nila sa buhay?" Tanong nito kay Amara.

I looked at her gauging if she wants to defend herself or should I step in. Amara is no damsel in distress I knew that already. She doesn't need saving always. Sometimes, she just want to be the strong woman that she is.

She looked at me and nodded. After that, she stepped forward and looked at my mother in the eye.

"Hindi po ako galing kung saan lang. May pinag-aralan po ako. Hindi po ako masamang tao lalo na ang nanay ko. Pinaghirapan po namin kung saan man kami nakarating sa buhay." She smiled very sweetly at my mother. "And...I have acres of tulip farms in Amsterdam."

"Are you kidding me?"

Umiling ang dalaga. "I wish I am."

"Even if she doesn't own that kind of vast land in a beautiful country Mom, I love her just the same. Don't give her that look."

I hate to admit it when my mother's materialistic and social climber side comes out. I don't care if it does just not with my beloved Amara.

"What? Do you actually believe her?"

"Yes. I've been to her farm, Mom. Majestic is an understatement. And I'm letting you know now, I won't let you go there."

"Why not?"
