Love is a Commitment (Taglish)

Nikki

"MAMA! MAMA!" Sigaw ni Nikki.

Mama or Tima kasi tawag sakin ni Nikki.
Kay ate Momly then kay mommy Lamy.

"NIKKI!" Kinuha ko siya kay ate. Malaki na pero mahilig parin sa hugs at pakarga.

"Kanina pa niya kinukulit si mama. Sumigaw ng ' klokkee' ng paulit ulit . Yun pala cookie lang ang hinihingi. Pareho parin tawag sa mga bagay bagay." Napatawa kami ng malakas. Ang Nikki naman, nahiya siguro naka simangot na tinabunan ang mukha. Tumawa kami ulit.

"Ate, bihisan ko muna si Nikki. Magbihis na rin kayo. Mall tayo sabihan mo si Cee doon siguradong excited na naman yun". Francine, Cee for short. Magkalapit lang ang edad ng dalawa.

Well, sue me but I get my inspiration from the girls. Yung mga random things na gusto nila, I can see beauty in them. Fashion diva kaya sila. 

Cee is very much helpful towards getting me inspired. Mahilig siyang mag shop lalo na kasama si Nikki. Almost sa mga pinapamili nila ay napupunta rin naman kay Nikki. Gaya ni Cee, may specific na gusto ang anak ko. She loves expensive accessories. I got her covered naman. 

Cee, lives for bags and clothes. Sometimes, they both recommend some really unexpected things pag nagshoshop kami. To be exact, they whisper it to me. That's their quirk, add some grin too when they get what they want.

One time, we were at a store, they pointed a mini bag and told me "We want a velvet one like this and this one with a gold chain instead." You guessed it right, they got it. 

Made from my factory. They both have all luxury collections of mine, and yes, has whatever they want. Spoiled ko sila. Can't get tired of that.

"Nakakatuwa ka talaga. I Love you Nikki." hinalikan ko siya sa pisngi. I made her wear a red corduroy coat with belt and a horsebit loafer ankle boot.

It doesn't mean na collections ko lang talaga ang susuotin nila. But of course, I often make them wear unreleased parts of my collection. May mga fans na din tong dalawa. Millions on Instagraham.

For our clientele to get some attention and become thrilled to buy from our collection. Their patronage towards the brand matters. We have to give them worthy products. I have other businesses, but no need to tackle about those. 

I made friends too in this industry. I don't like having enemies that much, long story but they call me a "gallant woman" sometimes. I'm not gay, I just know how women are. 

If the founder is a man, the wives or partners are the way to them. Even mistresses are part of the game sometimes, if that's how they roll. Although I loathe to be under drama, that's part of it I guess. I don't do shit, I just befriend them all. 

"Lab ya too, Mama." Naka ngiti niyang sabi. Nakakawala talaga ng stress.

They both remind me of younger me and ate. Though, di lahat ng gusto namin natutupad. Di naman sa sobrang hirap namin sa totoo lang, pero sa sobrang kuripot ng mommy mapapasabi ka na lang na parang oo.  Sa linyahan niya pa, "Dios mio, dapat marunong kayong magpahalaga".

Di kami deprived ni ate, sadyang pinaranas talaga sa amin ni mommy, most especially during our teens how to be contented and problem solve the shit out of our "poverty". Sorry naman, alam ko.

Mall

"Mama, please bili mo ako ng candies dooooon tapos let's ride that one." sabay turo niya sa mga gusto niya.

"Okay. But first, let's politely ask permission from Lamy and Momly."

Ate gave the "I know where you're going with this" look then, "Momly and Lamy may we go alone? I'm with Mama don't worry, we will be fine. PLEASE. Thank you." While twinkling her eyes then kisses everyone. She then dragged me somewhere.
