THIRD PERSON
"Thanks po sa paghatid. Ingat, lalo na at gabi na din po." said Anna after she got out of the ferry service.
The ferryman smiled and nodded. "Ikaw din po, ma'am."
Dumeretso agad papasok ng Bahay Pangarap si Anna pag-alis pa lang ng bangka na bakas sa mukha niya ang pagod at tila wala sa mood na makipag-usap.
And though the surroundings are peaceful with the ripples of the Pasig river are crashing against the barriers, it still didn't feel peaceful at all. For her, to say the least.
But that didn't last for long, dahil pagtapak pa lang sa living area, agad niyang nakita na nakapatong si Liza kay Bongbong—with their clothes on, this time—on the couch naman, panay bulong ng kung ano-ano with their kisses.
Anna's eyes went big like saucers with her jaw dropped slightly. Well, that's more safe unlike the last time, she thinks.
But still!
"Iyaaiiikessss! Kakarating ko lang! Na naman, parentals?! Yuck!" she exclaimed, horrified as she dropped her sling bag on the floor while quickly covering her face while shaking in disgust.
Napatigil tuloy sina Bongbong at Liza sa ginagawa nila nang nakita nila si Anna. Then he looked at his wife, realizing on what they're doing.
"What's going on there? I heard someone's screaming and—" bigla na lang tumahimik si Simon and saw his parents looking as if they're making out, and his little sister with Anna's face covered with both hands.
"Ewwww." nandidiring sabi neto, making a grimacing face. "Get a room!" he exclaimed.
"Anong nangyare—" dagdag pa ni Vincent na kakagaling lang ng kusina and was about to tell that dinner's ready.
Vincent looked at his brother and vice versa, then they acted out na parang nasusuka na sila. "OH. EM. GASH!" sabay nilang sinabi.
"Save that one for later, oh!"
"Yeah! Ayan tuloy! I've lost my appetite for dinner!"
"Pang-ilan na eto, 'Mmy! 'Ddy! No more babies, oh!" Anna exclaimed, pouting.
Bongbong and Liza laughed on their children's reactions. "Whoops. Looks like our bebe time has gone haywire than what I thought." he chuckled, Liza then gently slapped her husband's chest.
"Hay naku, parents." Anna rolled her eyes, face scrunched with disgust as she sat down while taking her shoes off.
"Aaand~ it seems you're just in time, bunchoy. Dinner's ready pala." pag-remind ni Vincent sa kanila.
"Sure! Palit lang po ako ng damit." she nod lightly then shifted her gaze at her parents who are exchanging banters with Bongbong's teasing.
But at the other side, shuks! Cu-cute po ninyo! sabi niya sa utak neto na siya lamang ang makaririnig, then founds herself smiling that made her eyes shrink.
But before she stood up, she let out a sigh. Nagpapagaan talaga ang pakiramdam niya when she sees her parents like this.
Anna immediately entered inside her bedroom to change into her comfortable sleepwear, saka lumabas at dumeretso sa dining area where her parents and brothers are now at the table with the meals are now cooked.
She sat down in between Bongbong and Liza with Vincent cited the grace first. They all had a fun dinner with serious topics raised. Though Anna has no energy to go along with the conversation, lalo na at controversial issues revolving politics and her father's decisions in terms of difficult choices, still, she listened. Tumango naman din as of showing that nakikinig naman eto.
