“Ma? How do…I…Look?”
I took a deep breath and waited for my mom’s comment on my white sparkling dress. I’m not comfortable, but mom loves dresses.
“Ang ganda!” Nakangiti niyang sabi sa akin at tuluyan na akong bumaba ng hagdan. “Dalaga na talaga ang anak ko.”
“Stop it mom.” I said and gave mommy a hug.
“Oh? Are you ready na?”
“Yes mom, let's go,” sabi ko.
“Teka muna anak, picture muna tayo tapos i-send natin sa daddy mo.”
“But mom…”
“Sige na, pose ka na diyan.”
I shut my eyes and followed mom, I posed. She also loves taking pictures of me, kasi malayo si daddy sa amin. He’s a maritime pilot in Singapore. Kaya madalas kami lang talaga ni mommy.
“Smile naman anak!”
Pagkatapos naming kumuha ng litrato ay bumaba na rin kami ni mommy. Actually our house is a mix-use. Our downstairs functions as our convenience store.
And our home is upstairs. Mas gusto kasi ni mommy ‘to na malapit ang tinayo niyang store sa bahay namin. But we also have a house in the province where my father was born, nandito lang talaga kami kasi nandito ang tindahan at dito rin ako nag-aaral.
Kapag bakasyon naman umuuwi kami don para makita rin sila lolo at lola ko sa side ni dad.
Nang makababa kami ay binati agad kami agad ng mga staff na nagtratrabaho para kay mom. They keep the store organized and clean for our customers.
“Hi! Kayo na muna dito ha!” Nakangiting sabi ni mommy sa kanila.
Ako naman ay iniiwasan lang ang mga tingin nila. I don't know why sometimes I have this social allergy, sabi nila. Kaya nga pinilit ako ni mommy to be in an actual school. I was happy learning here at home.
I don't have an allergy, I just prefer solitude. I find solace and peace.
Being alone means freedom.
Nauna akong lumabas kay mommy dahil nakipagusap pa siya muna kay ate Lisa, akala ko nga lalabas kami agad.
Ibang-iba ako kay mommy. She loves talking with other people. She loves laughing with them. Kaya nong bata ako na palagi niya akong sinasama, pakiramdam ko low batt ako palagi.
“Halika na anak?” Nang makalabas na si mommy ay sumakay na kami agad sa sasakyan niya.
I’m currently a grade 12 student in Wilson Doctors’ University, pursuing STEM…as my strand.
