"Good day po! I'm Berenice, Aldous' friend." I said when an old lady opened their gate.

Ang laki ng bahay nila. It's not a house nga e, mansion! Or palasyo.

"Sino 'yan?" I heard a strict voice behind the old lady. "Hinahanap mo anak ko?"

I nodded with a smile. "Yes po."

"He's with his Dad. May inasikaso." She crossed her arms. "What do you need."

"Ah, itatanong ko lang po sana kung okay siya? Wala ho kasi siya kahapon."

She chuckled. "Malamang, absent 'yong anak ko."

I lowkey made a face, corny mo ma'am.

"Because of you... Our son disobeyed and broke our rules." She said in a fierce voice. "Lumalabas na sa gabi. We even caught him with a phone so his father confiscated it. But what made us mad, he talked back."

Napalunok ako sa sinabi niya. "A-ano pong connect?"

"Bad influence ka. Alam mo bang, hindi ganiyan ang anak ko noon? Napalaki namin 'yan nang maayos but because of you!" I can sense the anger by her voice. "I knew it! Parehas lang kayo ng mama mong manggagamit!"

Bakit nasali ang mama ko rito?

"You don't have the right po to talk like that to my Mom. You don't know her!"

Now I realized. Isa rin 'to sa rason niya. Kung bakit kating-kati niyang ipinasa ang pagiging walang kwenta Ina sa akin.

"I know your mom, very well..." She trailed off. "My husband left him for it. Gold digger ang mama mo at kaya naging psychiatrist 'yan dahil sa pera ng asawa ko."

"Iniwan ng asawa mo ang mama ko dahil walang kwenta at makitid ang utak ng asawa mo!" I bursted out. "At isa pa, she's not my biological mom. And I don't really care kung hindi naging sila ng Mama ko, because your husband is a pro manipulator."

She's off the limit. No one can talk like that to my mama. If someone disrespects her, you can't earn any respect from me too.

"Saan naman kaya nagmana si Aldous? Imposibleng namang sa 'yo? A pathetic and narcissistic mother!"

She hit my face with her palm that made my head turned. Napaka-gaga ng babaeng 'to.

"Isang beses kong makita kang kasama ang anak ko..." She threatened. "Mawawalan ng trabaho 'yang nanay mo."

What the heck? Ganiyan ba siya ka- sahol?

"I can do whatever I want because I'm rich. And you?"

Konti na lang at masuntok ko na ang babaeng 'to.
