Something Real

Getting Started

     Pagdating ko sa bahay ay nandooon na si Marga, nakaligo na at nanonood ng tv.

"Hi! Marga :) OOOOOOOH! so what happen to you? you look, messy?" bakas ang pagtataka sa mukha niya.

"wala, may engot kasing bumangga saakin kanina" I answered.

"teka, maliligo lang ako ha??" she nodded. Umakyat ako sa hagdanan papuntang kwarto at nilapag ang  mga gamit ko sa kama.

"mabuti at filipino lang ang nabasa, hindi ko masyadong ginagamit," kausap ko sa sarili ko at naalala nanaman yung lalaki.

"ano nga ba ang pangalan niya? Ty.... Typhoon?Tyming? aaaah! maliligo na nga ako!" binalewala ko ang nasa isip ko at naghubad ng uniform, sinoot ang bathrobe at bumaba papuntang kusina kung saan nandoon ang C.R. namin.

"Oh! Tori! You're home :)" lumapit ako sakanya at bumeso. My mother is beautiful, no wonder why my father loves her so much. Maraming nag sasabi sa akin na kamukha ko daw si mama pero parang hindi naman.

"What are you cooking mom?"

"your favorite anak"

"YES! ma maliligo muna ako ha?"

"okay, dalian mo't naghihintay si marga saiyo"

"yes mama!"

     pagkatapos kong maligo ay pinuntahan ko si Marga sa sala na nakahiga sa sofa at nakatutuk sa T.V.

"anong palabas ngayon?"

"Begin again ata, by the way anong password ng wifi nyo?" I recited the password while looking at her cellphone.

"Bago?" tanong ko

"Ang?" sagot niya

"ang cellphone mo"

"aaaaah! yes mommy bought me a new one" she cheerfully answered.

     We were watching the movie for a while when she suddenly asked me.

"Where is your phone?"

"Nasa taas?"

"aaah, I wanna see your apps lang sana. Ang tagal na nun aah, second year highschool pa ata tayo non"

"haha, you know me. I only use my phone for emergency"

     Which is true, lahat ng nasa contacts ko ay mga kakilala ko lang, hindi tulad ni Marga na buong campus ata alam ang number niya. I don't see any reason kase na nagtetext kayo sa taong hindi mo naman kakilala. I remembered when I was first year, I tried exchanging a conversation to someone I do not know. Pero ang hassel naman, kaya i changed my number and never attempted again.

"Tori, Marga. Luto na ang pagkain" my mom informed us at nag tinginan kami bago lumusub sa hapag kainan

"Yes! Finally! I missed your dishes tita! You know what, si manang karing pinagluto ko nito pero iba talaga ang luto nyo. THE BEST!." She chirped and we all laugh.

"ofcourse! That's my mom! The best mom in the world!"

"so you mean my mommy is not?"

"uhm, tita too. But my mom will always be my mom" nagtawanan kami habang kumakain. I am the only child of the family, that's why mom and dad takes care for me bigtime. But not to thepoint na nagiging strict na sila, they're cool too. And I love 'em for that.

Pagkatapos naming kumain ay nagligpit muna kami ni marga sa pinagkainan naming bago kami pumunta ng kwarto. Humihiga kami sa kama and I grabbed my phone and unlocked it. I opened my facebook account at tinignan ko muna ang messages ko. Nang wala naman akong nakitang importante, I opened my notification and so the friend request list. 25 friend request, I scrolled it down at may nakita kong parang pamilyar na pangalan saakin.
