"PWEDE ba kitang sunduin diyan sa bahay niyo?" tanong ni Karl mula sa kabilang linya ng tawagan namin.
We've been hanging out with each other, texting, and calling for almost a year since we met again.
At sa loob ng halos isang taon na 'yon ay wala siyang ibang binigay sa buhay ko kundi saya, and he also kept his promise that he will be there for me whenever my problems is trying to eat me up.
He became my suitor for 9 months, at noong isang linggo lang ay binigay ko na ang sagot sa kaniya... and now, we are secretly together, dahil ayaw kong malaman ito ni Mommy dahil alam ko na ang sasabihin niya.
She will do and say words without even considering my side. Again.
"Yeah sure, ako lang mag-isa dito sa bahay dahil may pinuntahan na lakad si Mommy," I answered.
"Sure ka ba na hindi ka papagalitan if ever na aalis ka ngayon sa bahay niyo without her permission?"
"Sus, should we really consider her thoughts right now after she didn't consider me for all of my life? At isa pa, you don't need to worry since mamaya pa siyang hating gabi uuwi." Minding her business as always.
"Augustine, don't get me wrong and I know that you know na pinagusapan na natin ito ng napakatagal, alam ko na may binigay na sakit sa'yo ang nanay mo but... nanay mo pa rin siya at the end of the day, okay?"
"Yes, boss."
I know he's right but I don't want to miss the opportunity to live normal today, just like what a casual teenager would do.
"Nandito na ako sa harap ng bahay niyo, can you please open the gate for me?"
"Open na 'yan."
"Sigi, ibababa ko na 'tong tawag since I am already here."
And he did.
Ilang beses na siyang nakapunta dito sa bahay habang wala si Mommy kaya alam na niya kung saan ako makikita.
"Hello, babe."
"Karl, please drop the call signs."
He knew this already, I hate call signs. Hindi naman sa ayaw kong maging romantic siya, but I find it cringe whenever I hear those call signs. Ang pinaka-ayaw ko sa isang relasyon ay 'yung nakikita sa ibang mag-jowa na halos mag-baby talk na sa jowa niya at ang daming arte sa tawag.
"Sorry. Ready ka na ba? 'yan na ang susuotin mo?"
"Yes, magliligpit muna ako ng mga konting kalat dito sa loob ng kwarto before we can go."
"Just take your time, I can wait."
Hindi ko talaga inaasahang kaming dalawa ang ipagtatagpo ng tadhana na maging ganito, but I'm not complaining about it.
