Fetch

The wind is passing by. the sun is shining brightly in the sky. As opened the big door, the man standing there looked tall, intimidating when it was serious.

"My parents want to give you this. Something that you would like. And use often,” sabay abot niya ng supot.

Agad akong napaangat ng tingin.
"Hmm. Tell them that I am thankful.”

I opened the cellophane and it reveal a luxury bag. Agad mo siyang tiningnna.. Yes, he is right. I can’t use it not often but every day. This is my style. They know me so much even for years had passed. I smiled sweetly.

I sighed heavily when I remember how they bashed me recently because  of the issue spreading in the forest.

" Listen to the voices you need to hear. Not the voices you want to hear,"bigla bigla niyang ani.

Huminga ako nang malalim.

“ Someday you will realize Gianna that being a number one is nothing if you don't prioritize yourself,"  dagdag niya.

I checked the huge glass windows on my side and I saw how the sky turned dark and serious now. I stood up and roamed around my condo.

Bagsak kong nilagay sa counter ang aking phone. To reheat the food Maynard did for me. I smiled as i was looking at it. I leaned on the counter while waiting boredly. Crossed my arms and played with my fingers. Lowered my eyes to the ceramic floor.

Kakatawag lang ni Penelope. Binabantaan akong crush niya si Maynard. Pake ko ba. Nabalitaan din namin na may anak na siya.

I started to smile again while I am closed to finish it all the food Maynard prepare for us. Especially for me. It is my favorite. Kabisado niya ako pero manliligaw ko siya kaya magtiis siya kung kailan ang gusto kong sugutin siya o sasagutin ko nga ba siya.

Don’t know. I am not sure.

Because a true man should wait. I will mark that. I will make him wait. If he loses the game, then he's not the man meant for me.

"Papa help!"

"Gianna!"tinig na pamilyar.

Agad among nagmulat ng mata at tinuro ang kisame kung sana nandoon ang ipis.

"I-Ipis,”nanghihina kong ani sa kanya pero sumandig lang siya sa pintuan. Crossing his arms and funny looking at me.

Kumunit ang noo ko.

“Kaya mo iyan. Matapang ka naman."

“Maynard!" sigaw ko sa kanya nagmamakaawa

Tumawa siya. I leerer my eyes and continue to do my thing while having a tantrum. Lagot to sa akin! Nanginigig akong lumapit sa lababo nang bigla na lumipad. Napatalon ako. Napahawak akk sa dingding pero tawang tawa pa rin si Maynard.

Naglakad siya patungo sa akin. Kaya nang na off ko ang fuacet ay pinatama ko talaga sa mukha niya ag tubig para matuhan siya sa kakaatawa. Nakuha mo naman a g gusto ko ng pumiķit siya ng bunaling ako.

"May balak ka ba? Wala akong plano mabubtis ng maaga. Kahit manliligaw kita wala akong plano na may mangayri. Conservative ako!" ako kay habang yakap ang aking sarili.

He chuckled and shook his head.

"Do you think I will do that to you? Do you think I am not conservative too? I am an old fashion man Gianna. If you don’t know," he said while holding his coat.

Lumabas kami.

"Tita Kayline," mahina kong tawag sa kanya.

Gulat na gulat pa rin. Nawala ang kaba sa akin pero nahihiya ako kung paano pakitubguhan siya. Ilang taon na din ang nakalipas.

"Ang ganda mo pa rin, hija," siya na ang lumapit sa akin.

“Tita, wala bang isang milyon layuan mo anak ko?" usisa ko sa kanya.

Kumunot ang noo niya at bumaling kay Maynard na nagtataka.

Tumawa lang si Maynard.

Wala paring pinagbago si Tita. Maganda pa rin at mapayat. Noong bata pa ako ay inggit na inggit ako sa asul niyang mga mata, matangos na ilong, at makakapal na labi. She had a pale and smooth skin, round face and thick brown hair that make her gorgeous.

“Hija, hindi ako katulad ng mga napapanood mo. I am not like that. In fact, I will love whom my sons love. I will never be the hindrances if he love to my son. "

I smiled sweetly.

“Did you like it?”

Tumango ako.

Iba talaga kapag mayayaman.

"Yes, po. In fact, I love it so much."

"Good to hear that. Remember don’t forget your heath too. No matter how busy you are find time to take care of yourself,” dagdag niya.

I nodded.

"Yes po tita. Thank you for your concern."

Pinakain kami sa bahay nila. Natutuwa akong nakasama muli si Tita. Pinaalam niya rin sa akin na nasa akin nalang kung sasagutin ko ang anak niya.

They let me sing my composed songs and interview me for my upcoming movie again and my life. Of course. who I am to not accept that offer though

And besides I enjoy every single moment of my career. I don’t know when I will end this or if i will still be in the future.

“Musta ang lovelife mo? Kailan ka mag aasawa?" Tanong ng host sa akin ng bumba na ako sa stage.

Tumawa lang ako.

“Wala nga akong love life mag aasawa pa ba," sagot ko sa kanya.

Tumigil kami saglit at napadako ang aking mata sa lalaking nakatayo sa di kalayuan sa amin. Galing pa sya sa trabaho. I smiled. When he started to walked for me.

"Really? Sa ganda mo yang at halos nasa yo na ang lahat. Wala pa ba? Single pa ba?" ang host sa akin.

“Ngayon mukhang di na, "I said when Maynard stop in front of me. To fetch me here.
