Gia' s point of view
I know, this is isn't supposed to be a mother should do, leaving her child to her mom and going out to drink, but they would understand, what happened was crazy.
Im currently in BGC, sitting in the pub table while drinking vodka, the hell I know where David went, siguro sa bahay nila.
"Kanina ka pa ah, may problema?" Tanong saakin ng bartender habang ngising ngisi sa harapan ko.
"Nothing you should be concerned of" sabi ko at ininom ang isang shot.
"Ok if u say so, pero im here to listen kung kailangan mo ng makikinig sayo" sabi nito.
"Thanks" sabi ko.
"Bago ka dito? Ngayon lang kita nakita" sabi nito habang patuloy na nagawa ng drinks.
"Yeah, first time" sabi ko.
"You're Greggy Araneta's daughter right?" Tanong nito.
"Yeah" sabi ko.
"Nice meeting you ms. Araneta, im Wais, Wais Seranilla" sabi nito.
"Ok" sabi ko at lumagok pa ng isang beses.
I was about leave when he stopped me.
"Sandali, san ka? Uuwi kana? Kaya mong mag drive?" Tanong nito sakin.
"Im fine" sabi ko.
"No, let me take you home" sabi nito.
"No, you have work" sabi ko.
"Nah, iwan ko nalang yan sa mga staff ko" sabi nito.
Ah, sya pala ang may ari.
"Im fine Wais, thank you pero kaya ko, im not drunk I promise" sabi ko at umalis na.
I walked to the parking lot and drove home, pagkadating ko I saw dad in the living room.
"Where's Joaquim?" I asked.
"Asleep, he's been crying kanina, hindi namin alam ng mommy mo paano patatahanin, you know who calmed him down? Your mama Meldy" sabi ni daddy.
"Oh ok, dad? A-andyan na ba si David?" I asked.
"No, subukan nyang magpakita sakin, makikita nya" sabi ni daddy.
"Dad, normal lang naman po ang away diba? Are you mad at him? Please don't" sabi ko.
"Pano ako di magagalit eh inaaway ka" sabi saakin ni daddy.
"Dad" sabi ko.
"San ka galing? Amoy alak ka" sabi ni daddy.
"I went out" sabi ko.
"See? Dahil galit ka kay David a reason why I should also be mad at him" sabi nya.
"Is papa Macoy like this to mommy kapag magka away kayo?" Tanong ko.
"No, and I was never like this to your mom" sabi nito.
"That's impossible" sabi ko.
"Ok fine, but that man does not have any right to do this to you" sabi ni Daddy.
"Daddy, pareho kaming mali ok? May mga nasabi rin akong hindi maganda, hindi lang sya ang may kasalanan" sabi ko.
"But he is forcing you to get married!" Sabi pa ni Daddy.
Kitang kita sa mga mukha nya ang inis habang nagsasalita.
"He is not, masyado lang ako na overwhelm sa tanong nya, marriage is not my priority right now, it's Joaquim" sabi ko.
Fast forward
"Im sorry, I should've been more considerate in our situation" sabi saakin ni David.
"It's ok, im sorry too." I said and hugged him.
"Well well, ok na kayo ah buti naman, mawawalan ako ng drinking buddy kapag naghiwalay kayo" sabi ni kuya Luis.
"Tigilan mo na nga tong si David kuya, nagiging lasinggero na dahil sayo eh!" Sabi ko.
"It's fine! David's in good hands kapag ako ang kasama nga uminom" sabi pa nito.
"Ewan ko sayo" sabi ko.
I heard Joaquim crying, I went to the room and picked him up, and went out.
"Ohh, you're awake! Kanina pa kita iniintay magising!" Sabi ni kuya Luis at kinuha sakin si Joaquim.
For unknown reasons, Joaquim likes kuya Luis so much, like kukunin palang sya ni kuya tuwang tuwa na sya, and he isn't really like that, hindi nya nga masyadong gusto si Daddy eh, pati si kuya Fonso, hindi naman sila laging nag b-bond ni Joaquim pero parang ang gaan gaan ng loob ni Joaquim sakanya.
Kay kuya lang sya nagpapa karga na hindi sya iiyak, tatawa pa sya ng tatawa kapag nilalaro sya ni kuya, they're like best friends.
Bumaba na kami sa garden to have merienda, dumating naman si kuya Alfonso.
"Hi kuya" bati ko at bumeso sakanya.
"Hey" sabi nya.
I noticed he's holding a small paper bag
"Oh? What's that?" I asked.
"Engagement ring, tingnan mo nga kung maganda" sabi ni kuya.
"Omg!? Mag p-propose kana!? Bakit hindi mo sakin sinabi!?" Sabi ko at kinuha ang paper bag sakanya.
"Baka mamaya, madulas ka kay Mavs eh, malapit ka kasi birthday nya and I wanted to suprise her, ano ok ba?" Tanong nya.
"It's pretty kuya, I can't believe it! Mag s-settle down kana! Im happy for you" sabi ko at niyakap sya.
Madalas nag k-kwento sakin si kuya Alfy noon on why he is afraid to settle down, after his seperation with Andy's mom, he never really got serious with anyone. I know he's a good man, kudos on our parents for raising kuya Alfy and kuya Luis as very responsible men and parents, they really did a good job raising my brothers.
Kuya Alfy got most of our Mother's looks, sya ang pinaka kamukha ni mommy, while he got our Father's attitude, while kuya Luis got our Dad's looks and my Mom's hobbies, he got his personalities kay Mommy naman, while me, I got my Dad's demeanor and looks, sinasabi ng mga friends ni Daddy na ako ang pinaka kamukha nya and all, but the way I speak, I stand, I look at someone, I got it from Mommy.
"Thanks Sis, kay Andy ako unang nag sabi before ako bumili ng engagement ring, alam mo, she always tells me she didn't want a big stone on her engagement ring, kasi daw for her hindi kayang sukatin ng kahit anong bagay ang pagmamahal mo sa pakakasalan mo, and I put that on my mind, this ring may not be the most expensive and the most extravagant but this came from my heart" sabi ni kuya while looking at the ring.
Mavs is so lucky to have my brother, I know he can go all day long talking about Mavs and Andy, kasi for him they're enough basta't andyan si Andy at si Mavs he's good, more than good pa nga.
"Nag set up ako ng suprise birthday dinner for her, I really hope she says yes" sabi ni kuya.
"Ano kaba, she will say yes, trust me" sabi ko.
"Gia!" Rinig kong tawag sakin ni kuya Luis.
"Oh?" Tanong ko.
"Joaquim said his first word!" Sabi ni kuya Luis.
"What!? Really!?" Sabi ko at kinuha sakanya si Joaquim.
"Come on babe, what did you say?" I asked him.
"W-wuwish" he said.
"Oh diba!? His first word is my name!" Sabi ni kuya at tumawa.
Imbis na Mama or Dada, wala Wuwish ang first name ng anak ko, hay.
