It is one of my normal days when Mama is in my room habang nag-reready akong pumunta ng school. She does this everytime na nagbe-bake siya ng gabi, to give me what she baked and this time its a brownie.
"Dad called your Papa again at doon daw siya magdidinner, dadalawa tayo tonight" she said as she watch me while I blow dry my hair.
"Should I tell Pete to fetch you tonight ma? Walang susundo sayo" This time she's the one blow drying my hair na.
"I already told him, how about you? Walang susundo sayo"
"It's fine, magcocommute nalang po ako, sasabay ako kay Cleo"
"Silly, i'm just testing you. Invite him for dinner para may kasama tayo"
"What?"
"Don't 'What' me young lady, i know" she said saka inalis ang saksakan ng blower.
"I don't get it" i said I was about to put my hair in a bun pero siya na din ang gumwa. I'm just staring at her on my vanity mirror not getting what she means.
"Uuwi ako ng maaga, i'll cook for you two. What's his favorite food?" I was taken aback when I realize what she's talking about. The moment i caught her watching us, I know na hindi siya kokontra but I did not expect her to be this supportive.
"mom" i stared at her as she fix my hair. I appreciate her so much. I know that my father and my brothers will not approve this but i'm so glad that atleast one in our family does.
"Do you want me to make a half cooked meat for him?"
"He doesn't like that Ma. He loves Pancit Cabagan."
"Pancit Cabagan it is"
"And coffee"
"Ohhhh same"
Nagcancel ang last period namin kaya 3 PM palang ay andito na ako sa Library, waiting for Dos dahil susunduin niya daw ako and si Cleo ay hanggang 5:30 pa ang klase.
I was busy reading my book when there are street foods na naipatong sa table.
"Bawal ang foods dito!" i whispered at agad niya din namang itinago ang mga iyon. Every student is allowed to go inside our University Library because it is the biggest Library that we have in the province and it was funded by the government so everyone is welcome as long as may maipapakitang student ID.
Lumabas din kami at tumambay sa mga benches sa ilalim ng mga puno, just outside the Library. We have to go out to eat what he bought bago kami umuwi and hindi ko pa nasasabi sa kanya ang pag-invite ni Mama.
"Ang sarap talaga ng gawa ni Tita. Lahat ng ginagawa niya naa-appreciate ko. Lahat." he said emphasizing the last word as he eat the brownies that mama baked.
I don't know if I took it correctly but I just finished reading about Gametes kanina at hindi iyon nakatulong sa diin ng pagkakasabi niya sa huling salita. He appreciate everything that Mom made, huh? Well, mom made me with my father.
"Pagkatapos natin dito, san tayo?" he asked saka siya sumubo ng fishball and I think it is the perfect time to tell him.
"Wala sila Papa, sa bahay tayo"
"Hep!" he clapped once that stopped me from biting in my Kikiam. "Baby wag ganun, bata pa ako at isa pa, conservative ako!"
This dude never changed. May mga times parin talaga na nakakainis siya.
