Then, may narandaman akong tao sa likod.
'Sino nagseselos?'
'Ma, Pa.'
Bigla kaming tumayo. It was Alec's mother and father na nasa likod 'ko. Narinig 'ata ako!
'Who's this girl?' sabi ng papa niya. Medyo matangkad, siguro dito nakuha ni Alec yung pagiging matangkad.
'Heres your food po. Enjoy---- Tita! What are you doing here tita?' dumating yung waiter sa table namin. Pero tita ang tawag!?
'Hi Faith, we missed you.'
Missed you? Faith? Faith ang pangalan 'non?
'Ma and Pa. Alexandrei Elise Solis. Top student in class. Alex, meet Mama and Papa, and... si Faith. Pinsan ko.'
P-pinsan!? Pinsan niya 'yon!?!
'Hello po Tita and Tito. It's nice to meet you, and Faith.'
'Ahhh, ikaw pala ang kwinekwento ng anak ko--'
'Pa.'
'Anywho, we just came to visit the kalagayan of the.. café. I hope you enjoy working here Faith... Brother Pio is surely proud of you.' ani ng Mama niya. Ang expensive ng accent ng pamilyang 'to.
'Yes po Tita. I enjoy working here.'
Pinsan lang pala. Nakakahiya ka Alex!
'Pakilala mo naman Alec si Alex kay Tita Diane...' pangasar na sabi ni Faith.
'Oh-- uh, I already told them about her--'
'Neng, girlfriend ka na ba ni Alec?'
'P-p-po..?'
'Or nililigawan ka ng anak ko..'
'I--'
'Ma. Don't ask her straight forward questions like that. She's just a friend---'
'What are you wearing? I'll bring you to the salon and bilhin you new clothes. I have a kilala doon neng. She can treat you well.'
'Diane... wag mo naman i-pressure ang bata. She's already beautiful, diba Alec?' sabi ng papa niya.
Sobrang kabado ako. Narandaman ko ang pagjudge nila sa pagkatao and pagdadamit ko. Dahil ba mayamang pamilya sila?
'Yes Pa.'
Faith naman kasi eh! Pinaremind pa!
'I'll be going Tita Diane and Tito Oscar. There are other customers waiting for me. Goodbye Tita and Tito. Enjoy your food Alec, and Alex.' sabi ni Faith while smiling. They really look alike.
'Well, we'll be going as well. May business meeting pa ang mama mo... usap tayo sa bahay son.'
'Yes Pa. Text me when you guys get there.'
'Yes son. Farewell. And for you neng, goodluck.'
Goodluck? Para saan yung goodluck?
'Pa.. mali ka naman eh. Ako yung naghihintay sa kaniya.'
'Oh-- apologies. Then goodluck, my son.'
