It's Serendipity, Love

Chapter 4 ✨

I was still sleeping until I heard knocks on my door. "Rianne, anak. Bumangon ka na diyan at may pag-uusapan tayo." Mama talaga, aga aga pa, eh.

"Ma, don't you think it's still early to ruin my sleep? What's with you? Anything important?"

"Oh yes it is important. Buhay mo nakataya." I was alarmed with that so I had no choice but to get up and move. I didn't even get to fix my bed since I'm too lazy to do that. I am still into my pj's when I decided to go downstairs.

"Ma, ano ba kasi yun? Lagi mo sinisira ang beauty rest ko!"

"Ha? Rest lang walang beauty." She scoffed.

"Then, same for you. You're my mother, duh." She looked at me, raising her brow and crossed her arms over her chest. Well, as her daughter I also raised my brow. This is just a normal thing for us, she's cool. I still have my respect for her as my mom and of course, I love her. I think this is how we do the 'lambingan-thingy' as a mother and daughter.

"Oh really, JR? Just so you know, I am way more beautiful than you when I was your age. But well, since you're my daughter, pagbibigyan kita. You're still my baby girl!" She said cheerfully and hugged me.

"Ma! Sabi ko sayo don't call me JR, e! Ang baduy kaya!" I pouted my lips when i said that. "Wait, ano nga pala yung pag-uusapan natin ma?" I said remembering what she said earlier, the reason i woke up.

She released herself from the hug and stared at me like i did something wrong. "What?" I curiously asked. I suddenly feel nervous from the way she look at me. What did i do wrong this time?

Tumingin si mama sa may sala, kaya naman napabaling din ako. And shock appeared on my face the moment my eyes landed on the person who is with us. I didn't even noticed him! Ohmaygash! Kanina pa ba siya don? And why the heck is he holding a bouquet of flowers?

I looked at mama, nervously. "Hehe, ma. Sino siya? Bakit may bisita?" Napapakamot tuloy ako bigla ng ulo dito, e.

"Diba dapat ako ang magtanong niyan? Who is he? Your boyfriend? Hindi ka nagsasabi sa akin! Malalagot ka sa papa mo! I will call him after this!" She said whispering while glaring at me. Oh noes.

"Ohmaygash! Ma! No! He's not my boyfriend. He is just a friend, okay? Don't call papa, please." Malalagot ako kay papa once na malaman niya! Ugh, ano ba kasing ginagawa nitong baluga na'to dito? Kakastress!

"Really? Are you sure?" Suddenly, she sound dissappointed. Tumango ako at hinila na'ko ni mama sa may sala.

"Hijo, friend ka pala nito ni rianne. What's your name, again?" My mom asked him as we sat down on our grande sofa, a pillow back style to be specific. At ang bwichita sa bahay ay nakaupo naman sa single sofa chair.

"I'm Zenox Vand Rafuerto, po. Yes, I'm... a friend of rianne po." May pagtataka ko siyang tinignan dahil parang hindi siya sigurado sa pagpapakilala niya. What is he thinking? Ang hirap din talagang basahin nitong si zenox.

"Oh, what's with the flowers?" Mama asked and pointed out the flowers that zenox is holding.

"Ah, i just wanted to get something for you po." He handed the bouquet to mama. Kay mama pala yon? Gash masyado yata akong nag-assume, i thought it was for me. Atleast it's for my mama, good thinking.

"Really? Wow! It's been a long time since i have received flowers. Thank you, yung papa kase nito ni rianne pagkain lagi ang ibinibigay na sa akin." Mom looked delighted with it.
