Broken Arrow of Fate (Broken Series #2)

Chapter 26

Stop

I looked at him while he's driving me home. I told him that I won't tell his parents about this meet up so he don't need to worry, but then he said it's better if he made sure that I am home before he go home again.

"You're not going to ask me for the diesel payment, right?" I asked and he frowned before he rolled his eyes at me.

Bago pa niya ako masagot at nakarating na kami.

"Nope. Get out" he waited for me to go inside before he drive away.

I immediately fell asleep when I lie down on my bed.

Bukas na ako mag-iisip.

Nagising ako dahil sa call notification sa Skype galing sa magulang ko. Ang aga naman nilang tumawag, sila na mismo ang nanggising sa'kin.

I am still yawning when I answered their call.

"Wow, nagising na ang mahal na prinsesa" natatawang sabi ni daddy at humikab ulit ako bago magtalukbong ng kumot.

"Inaantok pa ako dad, ala-sais pa lang daddy!" reklamo ko at sabay silang tumawa ni mommy. Alam naman nilang ayaw kong naaabala ang tulog ko, ginawa pa rin. Hay naku!

"Gising na anak, may trabaho ka pa" paalala naman ni mommy at lalo akong nagreklamo.

"Mom, you knew how I love my job. I really love it, but my assignment right now is making me hate my job because he is stubborn!" I complained and looked at the screen this time. "Can you imagine meeting someone who is more stubborn like me? That's him!"

"Yes, yes, anak. You've been complaining about him for weeks now. And he still don't want to have an interview? I thought you have a plan" mom replied and I pouted.

"I have, but his skull is thicker than mine. My plan to pester him is somehow effective and I am slowly learning few things about him, yet he still don't want an interview. Why is he making everything hard for me?" I asked and they both smiled at me.

"We knew you. You're hard-headed and persistent, and even if you are having a hard time now, I knew you will solve that assignment of yours. Just wait a little longer" mom stated and I pouted even more.

"I hope so"

"Wala namang matigas na tinapay, sa mainit na kape. Matigas ang ulo niya, mainit ang ulo mo. Match kayo" natatawang komento ni daddy na hindi din naman nakaka-motivate.

Ever since na napagtanto niyang wala pa akong nagiging boyfriend o kalandian man lang simula noong naghiwalay kami ni Carlo, nagmistulang matchmaker na siya sa mga lalaking may potential na maging boyfriend ko.

"Dad, stop. Cannot be siya, baka kapag naging kami, ni hindi man lang kami tumagal ng isang linggo dahil magsisigawan lang kami araw-araw" sagot ko nama at nagkibit-balikat siya.

"Bakit? Sinigawan ka ba niya kahapon? Siya ang kasama mo, bago ka makauwi sabi mo" depensa naman ni daddy at napahilot na lang ako sa noo ko.

"Ang aga-aga daddy naman" hinaing ko na siyang kinatawa niya at kinailing ni mommy bago siya masermonan.

"Anyway anak, we called because it's been two weeks since the last time we talk to you through video call. How's everything in there? Hindi mo na kami nasasabihan kung may moments pa rin na naliligaw ka"

Tumayo ako at dinala ang laptop sa may sink bago ako naghilamos at sipilyo sa harapan nila.

"So far, hindi pa naman ako naliligaw ulit" masayang pagbabalita ko. "Sadyang sumasakit lang ang ulo ko dahil sa trabaho ko, pero kinakaya ko pa naman. Tatawanan ko na lang 'to soon kapag hindi ko natapos"
