"I'm doomed!"
Napalingon tuloy si Zion sa akin. Nandito kami sa kuwarto ngayon.
"You're not doomed," anito.
"Seriously, hindi mo alam ang nararamdam ko kasi wala kang Mother-in-law na haharapin!"
I heard him sigh.
"My Mom is very kind to everyone, wife. Do call her Mom like i used to call her and just be yourself," seryosong sambit nito.
I can feel my cheeks burning hot because of what he said.
Bakit naman kasi wife? Hindi ba pwede na pangalan ko nalang? Mahirap ba ang Ally?
Contemplating whether i will wear jeans or a dress. Hindi ako makapag desisyon kung ano ang pipiliin kong susuotin ko.
"Which one will i choose?" mahinang usal ko as i turn my back on him at pumasok ulit sa walk-in closet ko saka humarap sa malaking salamin.
"Just choose the dress you feel comfortable with," ani Zion kaya umiling-iling ako.
"I have to be presentable!" Hindi ito umimik kaya nagpatuloy lang ako ng paghahanap ng susuotin.
Hindi rin naman nagtagal ay may nagustuhan na akong susuotin na damit.
A blue floral dress styled it with blue jeans and white sneakers.
I walk out of the walk-in closet saka humarap kay Zion na ngayon ay nakatingin din pala sa akin ng walang emosyon.
"Okay lang ba ang suot ko?" tanong ko nito as i slowly turn to make him look at me clearly.
I heard him groan kaya humarap ulit ako sa kanya na nakataas ang isang kilay.
"Seriously just tell me!" asik ko.
He sighed, "It's okay as long as you feel comfortable."
I can feel my cheeks burning. Seriously! He's so annoying.
"Ewan ko nga sayo!" padabog kong sabi nito as i grab my bag na ang laman ay mga id ko at wallet na ang laman ay supplementary card ni Zion para sa akin.
"What are you fussing about?" parang nalilitong tanong nito sa akin pero sinungitan ko lang siya.
"Shut up!" ani ko at lumabas na sa kwarto.
Pagkababa ko sa hagdan ay nasa living room na pala ang ina ni Zion. Nakaupo sa single couch at naghihintay sa akin as she ordered Butler Enrod about something.
Nakita naman niya ako kaya tumayo na siya as she grabs her elegant bag.
"You're finally here," aniya.
Nahihiya tuloy akong ngumiti sa ina ni Zion.
Nauna siyang lumakad sa akin kaya i raise my head at timing naman na naaa dulo ng hagdan si Zion na nakatingin sa akin.
I tilt my head looking at him pero nabigla nalang ako nang biga itong umiling kaya kunot ang noo akong tinalikuran siya at sumunod sa Mama nito.
"We're going to Cartridge Mall today," anunsyo ng ina ni Zion nang naka upo na kami sa Lincoln nito.
Huminga ako ng malalim dahil sa pangalan ng mall na sinambit ng ina ni Zion. Mother-in-law ko pala. I'm still not used to call her that way.
"I don't know if my dear Zion told you about the mall we're heading but we own that mall," aniya.
Tumango ako sa kaniya at tahimik na nakinig sa mga rants niya about their businesses, then napunta kay Zion at ngayon naman ay sa Ama ni Zion na Father-in-law ko na.
"My husband is really good to me unlike his useless son," anito.
Tumango ako bilang pag sumang-ayon sa sinabi niya.
"Totoo nga po," sabat ko.
Ngayon ko lang napagtanto na hindi pala masama ang ina ni Zion. She's quite cute, actually. I think magiging close kami ng Mother-in-law ko.
"Actually, until now I still don't get why my dear Zion didn't inherit me and my sweetheart's personality!"
Tumawa tuloy ako ng mahina sa sinabi nito.
"Like how is my dear Zion so cold to others? When me and his Dad are warm-hearted beings?" aniya.
I don't know whether i will laugh or cry because of her statements about her dear son which is my husband.
"Ano ba ang meron sa anak ko at naging asawa mo siya, dear?" anito.
Napabuga tuloy ako ng hangin dahil sa sinabi niya.
Wala nga akong naalala eh. All i know was that Zion found my bloody body outside. Then there's also a part of me that something is missing by the way he told me that.
"Ewan ko nga po eh," iyon nalang ang sagot ko nito.
"You know, I'm quite shocked when i hear Butler Enrod told me about you and Zion. It's quite shocking."
Hindi ako umimik at nakinig lang sa kaniya.
"It's known to everyone that Zion is a cold and ruthless person. I'm his mother so i don't believe that ruthless thing but he is really cold to everyone. Though i can feel his warmth expression on me and his Dad, but to his opposite sex?"
I blink softly as i remember the online story, 'My Lily' i read before i died.
Totoo naman kasi ang sinabi ng ina ni Zion.
"Anyway, tell me dear," biglang naging seryoso ang ina ni Zion na ikinalakas ng tibok ang dibdib ko.
"How did you meet my dear Zion?"
Kinakabahan ako sa tanong ni Mother-in-law. Ano bang sasabihin ko?
"W-Well--," hindi ko na tinuloy ang sagot ko kasi nakita ko na ang malaking building sa unahan na may malaking sulat pa na 'Cartridge Mall sa labas.
"Malapit na pala tayo sa Mall, T-Tita," mahinahong sambit ko nito.
She looks shock as she stare at me saka parang lumiwanag ang mukha nito when she heard what i say.
"Don't you just call me Tita. You must have to call me Mom or Mama same as my dear Zion as you are his wife and my only daughter-in-law."
"S-Sige po, Tita.. este M-Mom," nahihiyang sambit ko.
"That's more like it!" nakangising sabi nito at tumingan sa unahan.
"We've arrived, Old Madam," anunsyo nung driver kaya tumili ng mahina si Mama. I'm still not used calling her that but i have to try.
Pero kung umasta ang Mama ni Zion parang teenager pa rin.
"Great then! I will buy lots and lots of those cute things," anito.
Hindi ko alam kung ano ang ibig niyang sabihin pero when we're out of their Lincoln, I have a bad feeling about this shopping thingy.
