My MVP

Chapter two.

"Kei, gising na 'nak, pupunta pa tayo ng simbahan ngayon."

Ginising ako ni Mom ng 6:30 am, so much for a rest day. Usually gising ko kasi tuwing Sunday ay 10:00 or 11:00 am, so I wasn't used to it. Minsan na lang din kami magsimba dahil napaka busy namin these few months.

I just finished taking a shower, time for breakfast with the family.

"Kei, here's your food. Ubusin mo ha. Tsaka bilisan mo, kailangan na natin umalis."

"Opo Mom."

After I ate for about 5 minutes, then I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth kasi nagmamadali na talaga si Mom, kung sino sino na sinisigawan dito sa bahay.

"Kai, bilisan mo maghugas dyan ng pinggan!"

"Jacob, mamaya ka na maglaro ng games mo!"

"Kei bilisan mo magsipilyo!"

Hays, a normal Sunday is not normal without my Mom's scream. All of us are used to it na, she really doesn't have an inside voice whenever she's in the house eh, plus most of the time when she's screaming 'di naman siya galit.

Nakatapos na din kami sa mga ginagawa namin at nakita na si Mom naghihintay sa amin sa loob ng kotse, pumasok na kami sa van at,

"Hay nako kayo talaga, kanina pa ako naghihintay dito! Hmp! Tara na!"

Grabe talaga mood swings ni Mom hayss.

Nakarating na kami sa simbahan at kakasimula, pa lang pero wala nang upuan?! What??! Finally may nahanap kaming row na may maraming upuan, ayun nga lang, malayo sa harap at parang nasa dulo na kami noon.

At the middle of the service, naglalaro sila Jacob and Jason sa phone nila, my Mom was very focused and was listening to the preach, while me and Kuya Kai are sooo bored na. Hindi 'rin kami makalabas ng simbahan dahil baka magalit si Mom sa amin at baka sermonan nanaman kami hanggang makarating kami sa bahay, so we had no choice but to sit there.

"Hi Kierre!"

Biglang narinig ko sa likod ko, it was Yves?! She was sitting at behind me with her family.

"I didn't know na pumupunta ka pala dito, actually, first time ko lang makita ka dito." Sabi ni Yves

"Hi Yves, yeah, I come here to church from time to time, minsan na lang ako pumunta dito dahil masyadong busy na kasi kami."

After that very small talk with Yves, biglang may kumurot sa balat ko.

"Aray!" sigaw kong mahina, "shh!" pagsita sa akin ni Mom.

"So, yan pala si Yves, she has looks, pwede na yan." bulong sa akin ni kuya Kai

"What?" I asked because im confused sa sinasabi ni Kuya.

"She's the perfect fit for you, you know? I can see you and Yves being together in the future."

"What?! Shh Kuya! Baka marinig ka ni Yves!"

"Hm? What's that Kierre?" Tanong ni Yves.

Yikes! Instead of Yves hearing my Kuya, she heard me! So much for being quiet. Tumingin muna ako kay Kuya ng masama at sinide-eye bago ako sumagot kay Yves.

"Nothing Yves, my bad." sabi ko ng may nahihiyang boses, to my surprise, tumawa na lang siya sa sagot ko at ngumiti.

Hayss, isang ngiti niya lang kuhang kuha na niya ako. Wait, what am I saying! Kierre keep your mind straight!!

Pagkatapos ng service ay lumabas na kami ng simbahan, and to my surprise again, may biglang sumigaw sa likod ko,

"Kierre!"
