My Dreamboy, My Nightmare

-pito-

Naabutan ko na kumakain si mom sa dining.

“Good morning darlin’. How’s your sleep? Mukhang puyat ka yata, look at those eyebags,” napansin niya agad ang eyebags ko…

“Lalagyan ko nalang ng concealer yan mamaya,” umupo ako malapit sa pwesto niya. Napuyat nga ako kagabi. Inisip ko na parang gumulo ang mundo ko magmula ng naka-interact ko si Xander. Ilang years ko na siyang hinangaan, pinagpantasyahan pero hindi pa pala sapat yun para malaman kahit man lang kalahati ng pagkatao niya. At yung sinabi ni Zeon na may reasons kung bakit ganun ang ugali ni Xander…I ‘m curious’. I want to know him more…….

“That’s a no-no darlin’. Instead of concealing your eyebags, why not remove it. Wala naman akong appointment ngayon kaya lets pamper ourselves pupunta tayo sa newly discovered kong spa. Bonding na rin nating mag-mommy to,” excited na sabi ni mommy. I’m not totally conscious about my body, unlike mom na masyadong binabantayan at inaalagaan ang sarili niya.

“Ok,” hindi sa gusto ko talagang matanggal ang eyebags ko pero, gusto ko ang idea na matagal kaming magkakasama ni mommy. She’s so busy that we can’t even find the time to have a long conversation.

Beaute Spa

Yan ang nakalagay sa signage. Mala-hotel ang itsura ng bagong constructed na spa. Malapit lang sa subdivision namin.

“Wow” napahanga ako sa ganda ng loob ng spa. For sure magaling ang architect na nag-design nito.

“Isn’t worth to visit here? Maganda ang interiors nitong spa, I heard that the owner designed this,” sabi ni mom. Ang galing!

Mga kulang-kulang six hours kami sa spa. Nagpa-full bodied massage, manicure and pedicure, wax, scrub, pati hair spa at kung anu-anong girl stuff. Matagal at may kamahalan pero, worth the price naman. Na-relax talaga kami ni mommy.

“Darlin’ I’ll gonna talk to the manager. Natuwa talaga ako sa service nila. Wait for me here ok,” tutal mukhang mapapasabak nanaman si mommy sa long speech niya, knowing her sobrang daldal. Lilibutin ko muna ‘tong magandang spa na’to.

I was engrossed in the chandeliers that hangs above the ceiling, Swarovski and crystals display. May napansin akong shiny door at the end of the hall. It was so beautiful, parang pintuan sa fairytales. I want to open it out of curiousity, inisip ko kung ano ang nasa loob nun. Siguro mas maganda pa kaysa sa pintuan,

I was about to open it when I heard two people talking. Actually, yung boses ng babae malumanay at yung boses ng lalake galit at sumisigaw pa.

Sabi nga ‘curiousity kills the cat’, eh hindi naman ako pusa kaya okay lang sigurong sumilip…hehehe,

I was stunned at the sight. Maraming pumasok agad sa isip ko, are they lovers? Ang sagwa yata, although maganda ang babae pero kita naman ang laki ng agwat ng age nila. Who is she to him? Why is he mad at her? Why is she crying?

So I listen……to satisfy my curiousity.

“You know that your dad and I cannot be together again. As much as I want to……please son understand our situation. I don’t want you to get mad at me but, there’s just no easy way. I love y…….”

“STOP! I DON’T FVCKING UNDERSTAND YOU BOTH! DO YOU EVEN KNOW THAT YOUR ONLY SON IS LIVING IN HELL?! DO YOU EVEN KNOW I FVCK TOO MANY WOMEN? DO YOU EVEN KNOW THAT I HATE SEAFOODS? DO YOU EVEN KNOW MY FAVORITE SONGS?DO YOU EVEN KNOW THAT I BELONG TO A GANGSTER…MOM?!” natutop ko ang bibig ko, how could he say those things so easily to his…….mom?
