HS 11: Meet the parents

Aya's POV

" Mommy, Dito kami magpapractice ng kanta namin ng classmate ko. Yung kinekwento ko sayo. "

" Kasama ba si Sofia, anak? "

Talagang, gustong gusto ni Mommy si Fia. Okay na rin yung makaclose niya family ko :)

" Choir sila Mom, duet yung sa akin eh. So magkaiba kaming place. Anyway, Mom, lalaki yung classmate ko na pupunta dito. Is it okay? "

" It's fine with me. Still, we both need your Dad's permission. You know him. "

Pumayag kaya si Daddy? My Dad's not that super strict naman. Its just that, ayoko naman abusuhin yung freedom na binibigay niya sakin.

Sometimes, He will say yes even if it means no.

We're about to eat dinner when Dad arrived.

" A beautiful timing. Good evening my baby " and he kissed me sa cheeks. " Good evening my queen " he said smiling at Mom.

" Let's have dinner. I'm starving. My queen please lead the prayer. " sabi ni Daddy, habang ako hindi mapakali.

After Mom prayed for our dinner, She's telling me na sabihin ko na kay Dad yung about sa practice sa Saturday.

" baby, come on tell me what's bothering you " said Dad.

" ah.. Dad?.. we have this activity where I'll sing with someone.. a duet Dad.. We decided to practice here tomorrow Saturday morning.. is it okay Daddy? "

" Of course baby. Manang Luz with your Mom, will be in charge of the foods for your classmate. "

Whooo! Konting push pa. Go Aya! kAYAng kAYA mo yan!

I took a deep breathe before I speak..

" Dad. He is he-- oh I mean, it's a guy. He's Gideon.. My classmate, he's nice Dad. "

Dad looked at me and chuckled..

" So.. is that a yes Dad? " kabado kong tanong.

" Thank you baby. "

" Po? " Ano raw sabi? Tama ba pagkakarinig ko?

" Thank you for asking my permission Aya, kahit naman hindi na, papayagan pa rin kita. So it looks like late ako papasok sa office tomorrow. "

sasagot pa lang sana ako nang magsalita ulit si Dad..

" I need to meet this guy tomorrow before I can go. " dad said smiling.

OH NO!!!! HINDI PWEDE!!
AAAAAAAAHH! LIFE! T______T

It's Friday Night! Partey!

haaays salamat at makakaligtas ako sa busy schedule ko pansamantala, makakatulog rin ako ng maayos.

Paano kaya bukas? Makikilala siya ni Daddy. Si Daddy yon! He's Mr. King Jack Reyes for Pete's sake! My gahd. Di ko alam kung papaano ako bukas.

9am pa naman yung oras na usapan namin ni Gid. We decided na dito na lang kami magpractice para raw di ako mapalayo.

Malayo daw bahay nila eh. So pumayag na ako. Para rin maintroduce ko siya kay Mom. Kasi I was expecting na Dad will go tomorrow in the office earlier. Pero dahil sa sinabi nga ni Daddy na magpapalate siya, OMG! as in OMG! This is the first time that I will introduce some guy kay Dad.

Habang nag-iisip ako ng alibi kay Dad para umalis siya agad bukas, nagtext naman yong si Gid.

Ugh. This guy.

From: Gid

Hey! See you tomorrow. I'm so excited to meet your Mom. Goodnight! :)

Time check : 7am
It's too early kaya I decided to sleep kaya lang someone knocked.

" Aya, sabi ng Mommy mo bumangon ka na, nakakahiya raw sa bisita kung siya pa maghihintay " sabi ni Nay Luz.

Si Nay Luz ay matagal nang nagtatrabaho sa'ming pamilya. Siya yung nag-aalaga sa akin kapag wala sila Dad at Mom. She's like my Lola na.

" Nay, pasabi kay Mommy maaga pa naman eh. 9 am pa dadating yung bwisi-- bisita ko. " antok na antok na sabi ko.

Ang Mommy ko ay nagsisimula na namang magpaka'OA

" Etong batang 'to talaga oh. Pinapabangon ka na kasi sabi ng Mommy mo, 45 minutes ka sa banyo tapos ang tagal mo pa pumili ng damit mo. Kaya sige na bumangon ka na. "

Wala akong choice kundi bumangon na. Hiyang hiya sila dun sa bwisita ko kaya huwag ko raw paghintayin.

Naligo na ako at nagbihis. Mahirap naman kasi talaga pumili ng susuotin lalo na't marami kang choice.

After that, bumaba na ako. Nandoon na sila Mommy sa dining naghahanda ng pagkain. My Mom is surely enjoying this. After so many years, ngayon na lang ulit siya maghahanda ng pagkain para sa kaibigan kong guy.

It's 8:45.. more minutes at dadating na ang bwisita.

Napansin ko namang wala si Daddy,

" Mom, where's Daddy? Hindi ba dapat kanina pa siya gising? "

Tumawa naman bigla si Mommy,"Yang Daddy mo kagabi pa ako tinatanong kung ano daw bang dapat niyang isuot ngayon para sa bisita mo. He's too excited na makilala yang guy friend mo. "

Si Daddy talaga oh.

Maya-maya rin ay may nagdoorbell na. Lumabas ako para pagbuksan siya. For sure its him.

Nandun nga siya sa labas, may dala siyang chocolate cake and other sweets.

" Good morning Aya. " ngiting ngiti siya habang sinasabi niya yan.

" Pasok ka. "

Pagkapasok namin nandun na agad si Mom sa may door at si Nay Luz and they're both smiling. Gahd.

" Hello iho. Ako ang Mommy ni Aya. Call me Tita Lucille. I'm glad to see you. " at bineso pa niya si Gid.

" Good morning po Tita Lucille, it's my pleasure to meet you. I'm Gideon po. Alam ko na po kung saan nakuha ni Aya ang ganda niya. " Psh. Mambobola din masyado eh.

" Halika pasok ka. Sabay ka na sa'min magbreakfast. " at hinila na ni Mommy si Gid papuntang dining.

I heard foot steps. So it's Dad.

This is it.

" I'm sorry for letting you all wait. "

Tumingin ako kay Gid. He's confused. Siguro dahil nakita niya si Dad? Hindi pa nga pala niya alam.

Tumayo agad si Gid para kamayan si Daddy.

" Good morning Sir, I'm Gideon. Your daughter's friend. It's my honor to meet you. "

After what Gideon did.
Daddy looked at me, smiling like ugh.

" Nice to meet you Gideon. I'm Aya's father obviously. I prefer Tito Jack than Sir. "

I can feel it! Nagustuhan ni Dad si Gid. Gahd. AYA! Eksaherada ka rin, para namang pinakilalang mong boyfriend 'tong si Gideon.

" So let's eat. We have a lot to talk about Gideon. " - Dad
