"So you're, Riah, right?"
Ashteroh's mother smiled kindly at me as she welcomed me into their home. I was feeling nervous to the core, completely taken aback by her presence. I had been told beforehand that his mother might not be there, but here she was, standing right in front of me. I didn't know what to do, so I just smiled nervously.
Yunis Grayzelin Lunes-Guerrero, his mother. The successful global business tycoon. She was beautiful, and it was no surprise that Ashteroh had inherited her striking looks.
"Yes po" Magalang kong pahayag.
Lord God, help me overcome this nervousness.
My heart was racing as I feared that she might recognize me. I kept thinking, "Please, don't let her know who I really am," since I was inside enemy territory. If she found out I was a Cueva, she might give me a well-deserved slap for my foolishness.
Hindi naman siguro niya ginoogle ang mga anak ni Zario Luciano Cueva,right?
"Upo ka muna..." It was Ashteroh who offered me.
"Kumain kana hija?" Ashteroh's mother continued to smile warmly at me, and I could sense a hint of surprise in her expression as she realized that her son had a visitor. We were currently seated at the dining table, and her son was getting a glass of water nearby.
Tumango ako, "Yes po ma'am"
Mabilis namang umiling siya at natawa, "Naku, don't call me that... It's too formal. Call me mama dahil doon rin naman tayo papunta."
"Ma" he warned his mother.
Natawa naman ang mama niya, "Silly, nahiya ka pa! " She told her son "Anyways, Riah... I am Yunis but you can call me tita if you want..."
"Nice meeting you po tita..." Bati ko.
"You want snack,hija? What do you want ba?"
Biglang lumapit si Ashteroh at inilagay sa harapan ko ang baso ng tubig. "Lava cake lang gusto niyan ma... Hindi yan nagsasawa kaka-lava cake." Siya mismo sumagot. Palihim ko naman siyang sinamaan ng tingin.
"Lava cake?" Takang tanong ni tita pero hindi pa lumipas ang segundo... Pumalakpak si tita parang may naalala. "Ah! Kaya ka pala tumawag sakin na pasalubongan kita ng maraming lava cake---"
"No need to declare it ma" Pigil ni Ashteroh kung ano mang sasabihin ng mama niya. Napakamot naman ako sa kilay, hindi maintindihan ang dalawa.
"Ay sus! Binata ka na talaga... Pareho kayo ng kapatid mo!" Masayang sabi ni tita Yunis.
"Kapatid?" Hindi ko mapigilang tanong.
"Yes, i do have a brother..." Mahinang saad ni Ashteroh sakin.
May kapatid pala siya? Cool. Hindi ko alam yun ah.
Tita looked so cool and friendly kaya hindi ko gets ang pamilya ko bakit nila nilalait si tita Yunis. Oh baka naman... Lumalabas lang ang sungay ni tita kapag Cueva na ang pinaguusapan. Shocks! Last ko na bang balik dito?
"Pasensiya na kay mama,ha? Ganon lang talaga yun... hindi nawawalan ng energy" He said as he scratched his nape.
Natawa naman ako, "No, she's cool. Masayahin ang mama mo... Ang sweet niyo nga tignan kapag nagbabangayan kayo eh" komento ko.
Kasalukuyan kaming naka upo sa balkonahe nila, habang nilalaro ang mga aso niya.
"Ganon ba kayo ng mama mo rin?"
My smile faded upon hearing the question... "Oo, noon" I said as i remembered how my mother used to tease me and make me laugh.
"Bakit noon?" Kalmado niyang tanong. He's making sure that i won't be offended.
