Graduation

Time flies fast. Castiel's graduation is approaching. Nag-iisip na rin ako ng pwede kong ipanregalo sa kaniya. He bothered me about it, too.

"What's your graduation gift for me?" He asked me one time when I was just preparing to go to work that day. Siya naman ay papasok din sa university kaya nagsabay na lang din kaming umalis ng bahay nang araw na iyon.

Bumaling naman ako sa kaniya. "I'll think about it..." I answered. "And why are you asking me, anyway? Hindi na surprise kapag sasabihin ko sa 'yo kung ano ang magiging gift ko for your graduation. Hindi ko na lang din ipapa-wrapped pa kung ganoon." sabi ko habang papasok na kami sa sasakyan at nasa unahan na rin ang driver na handa nang umalis kami.

Nahagip ng mga mata ko ang pagngiti ni Castiel na pumasok na rin sa loob ng sasakyan kasunod ko. "All right. I'll look forward to it." He said.

And I just sighed. I don't know why he seemed excited. Palagi ko siyang binibigyan ng gift kapag may celebration like his birthday. Nasanay na rin siguro siya.

Also, the date of our wedding day was already set. It would be shortly just after Castiel's graduation.

"After your wedding, you two can move to Manila. And Castiel's training in leading the Villarama Group will start with the help of your father and you, hija." This was what Madam Villarama told me.

While Mommy will be here in Cebu earlier than Daddy.

"Nandito na po kayo next week, Mommy?" I asked over the phone.

"Yes, hija. I will help with the wedding preparations. Ang sabi ni Madam ay may nakuha na raw kayong mga wedding coordinators and planners. But I still want to be there and help with all the details. I want to know, hija. And see what I can do also. It's your wedding day. And I want to be involved. It's still a special day for you, Hasmine."

"Okay, Mommy."

"Alright, hija. Wait for me there. Susunod na lang ang Daddy mo dahil alam mo na naman na busy pa siya sa work niya."

"Okay po, Mom."

After that we ended the call.

I'm really getting married now in just a few months. And this was the original plan. First was to announce our engagement on Castiel's birthday and just shortly after we two met. And then next our is wedding after he graduate from college. And I just needed to be here in Cebu to help prepare him for his responsibilities... Kaya kahit medyo matagal pa naman talaga ang kasal namin ay kailangan ko nang manatili rito sa kanila.

Pero mauuna pa ang graduation ni Castiel. So we're preparing for the wedding and we're also preparing for a party to celebrate his graduation from college.

I don't know yet if this is just really okay for Castiel...

Wala naman siyang sinasabi sa akin. But what about Erica?

Hindi ko alam kung ano ba talaga ang namamagitan sa kanilang dalawa...

But we're doing this for the business...

"Hija!"

Dumating na rin si Mommy muli sa Cebu galing ng Manila. Nauna nga siyang pumunta rito kay Daddy. Ngumiti naman ako at agad ko na rin siyang nilapitan at niyakap nang makita.

"How have you been? I've missed you, Hasmine." Mommy hugged me in a motherly way.

"I've been doing well here, Mommy. Kayo po ni Dad sa Manila?" Tinanong ko rin siya nang kumalas kami sa yakap.
