Chapter Nineteen

Parents Meeting

I went to work after that. Mamaya pa naman ang class schedule ko kaya dumaan na muna ako sa cafe. It's just so near my university. When I came back here in Cebu I've met with my relative and we talked about co-owning this cafe. At dahil my savings naman ako, and the money that both my parents have left me so I was able to start and share a business with my cousin, Jeth.

"Alexander," Sinalubong ako ni Jeth pagkapasok ko ng cafe.

"Jeth." Binati ko rin siya.

"Napag-isipan mo na ba 'yong sinabi ko sa 'yo nang isang araw?" He asked me.

Bumaling ako sa pinsan ko at tumango. Pinag-usapan namin na palalakihin pa ang cafe. This rented space actually has a second floor. But since we just opened not so long ago we only used the first floor. And now we're thinking of using the second floor as well as part of the cafe where customers could also dine in.

"Dumadami na rin kasi ang customers natin. Especially the ladies who's been frequenting our cafe because of the young future doctor." Jeth gave me a meaningful smile.

I just shook my head. And then we started welcoming new customers coming in the cafe.

"Ganda nung isa kanina." sabi sa 'kin ni Jeth habang nasa counter kami.

"What?" sabi ko lang habang nag-aayos din ako doon.

"Sabi ko maganda 'yung babae kanina. At halatang may crush sa 'yo." He said. "Hinihingi pa ang pangalan mo sa social media. Bakit hindi mo binigay?"

Bumaling ako kay Jeth. "I already have a daughter, Jeth." I said. "And she's my priority. I also don't really use social media."

Tumango naman siya. "I get you, Alexander. I'm just saying that, maybe one day when you decide to date I'm sure marami ka pa rin pagpipilian. And of course my niece would not be a big deal to any lady." He grinned at me.

Inilingan ko lang siya uli.

"O baka naman, iniisip mo pa rin ang Nanay ng anak mo?"

Napabaling ako muli kay Jeth. We were already close even back then nang buhay pa ang lola ko. Magkaedad lang din kasi kami and same school pa noong high school. He's just like Gerald here in Cebu. And I've already talked to him about Theia's mother. Sinabi ko lang sa kaniya na hiwalay na kami ng mama ni Theia and we met in Germany when I was there. And Theia's with me now.

Umiling na lang muli ako kay Jeth. And didn't say anything after that.

And then after a while ay nagpaalam na rin ako sa kaniyang papasok na sa university.

At parang mabilis lang din na lumipas ang panahon. Pakiramdam ko pa nga ay ang parang ang bilis lang din lumaki ni Theia. I almost couldn't believe it that I'm now bringing her to kindergarten.

"Hello, Sir! I am Teacher Marie!"

Ngumiti ako sa teacher, who welcomed us. "Hello, teacher. This is my daughter, Theia Alexandra." I introduced my daughter to her new teacher.

Bumaling naman ang teacher sa anak ko.

"Hello, Theia!" Ngiting-ngiti sa amin ng anak ko ang teacher.
