Andrei Louise Villanueva-Mendoza (MHBTY BOOK 3)

CHAPTER 13

Andrei's POV

Nagising ako dahil sumasakit ang ulo ko. This is what you called hang over -__- which I hated the most. Bumangon ako habang nakapikit at hawak hawak ang ulo ko.

Me: Hindi na talaga ako uulit!

I heard someone releasing a soft chuckle and I know whos voice is that

Mama: Pang-ilang beses ko na bang narinig yan? Here take it.

Mama handed me a cold water with pain reliever.

Me: thanks Mama.
Mama: You know what, I remembered the same scenario of you and your Mommy.

Napatingin naman ako kay Mama habang hawak hawak ang malamig na baso na puno ng tubig. It feels so relaxing, medyo nawala wala yung sakit ng ulo ko.

Me: Talaga Mama?
Mama: Yeah, Mommy get drunk because she get jealous to one of my colleagues. Hindi niya ako pinansin until we reached home. Si Ate kaila at Ate Nikki mo palang ang anak namin noon

Mommy keeps on laughing remembering that day. I can't believe that Mommy get drunk dahil nagseselos siya, how cute haha!

Me: What happened next Ma?
Mommy: pagdating namin sa bahay, ofcourse nagalit siya. Umalis kasama yung friend niya nuon that happened have a huge feelings on her.
Me: Ano? Where is that friend of Mommy now?

May mangyaring love triangle pala sa kanila way back then. I didn't know exactly their love story eh, sabi kasi ni Ate Kaila kapag nag-aaway sila Mommy hindi nila malalaman, even now. They don't want us to get involved on their problems kasi. Ang pangit kase mag kwento nila ate eh tawa lang ng tawa -_-

Mama: She gets crazy for her love to your Mom.
Me: Kawawa naman pala siya Mama no?
Mama: At some point, yes. Pero kasi bakit ipagpipilitan ang sarili sa taong ayaw naman sayo diba?

Napaisip naman ako sa sinabi ni Mama. Oo nga no? Pero iba kasi eh, we're human and we are holding that 1% HOPE na baka. Baka one day they can reciprocate their love to us. Baka one day they will learn to love us the way we love them. If talking about Myth, Pandora to be considered as the first woman open her box kahit na pinagbawalan siya dahil nandoon lahat ang mga illnesses and hardships that the gods had hidded. Pero she opened it out of curiosity and saw all the things coming out, dahil sa takot she closed the box and left HOPE alone.

Kaya sabi nila, there's always HOPE after all.

Mama: Fix yourself anak at bumaba ka na doon to have your late lunch. It's already 2 PM

I looked at my bedside digital clock at alas 2 na nga ng hapon. Ganoon ako katagal natulog?

Me: Are you mad at me Ma?
Mama: I am not. I understand you Andrei. But next time learn how to inform us right away.
Me: My phone is in dead bat last night kasi Mama. I'm sorry
Mama: Your friends have their phones. Andrei, kung ayaw may dahilan kung gusto madaming paraan.
Me: I---I ditch my class
Mama: I know. I was once like you Andrei. But learn to know your limitations.

Hindi nalang ako umimik at tanging tango lang ang naging tugon. Mama is right after all. I have my choice but I choose not to inform them. Mama stood up at ginulo ang buhok ko.

Mama: Now, fix yourself. Your Mommy is in the library. Mag-uusap kayo ngayon
Me: I'm---I'm scared Ma
Mama: You need to face your consequence anak
Me: Is she mad?
Mama: I guess so? sino ba namang hindi? She's really worried anak. She almost called your Tita Riley at baka daw nawawala ka.

I just laughed in my mind after I hear that.

Mama: She's still awake nung umuwi ka kanina, and she even want to talk to you from that moment pero pinigilan ko.
