As soon as I open the door and saw both of my parents sitting in the sofa, I know they already heard the latest news about me and from what I see they are not very happy about that.
"BEA! Is it true?" Galit na tanong ni mom sakin pagkapasok ko sa bahay.
"Mom, I can explain okay." I said calmly.
"So it's true. God! Greg its true!" naiiyak na sabi ni mom. Dad tried to calm him but mom is so furious, no even more than that, even dad can't calm her.
I know mom won't understand me, us, so I tried to talk to my dad instead. "Dad mahal ko po sya." I said crying.
But mom answered me instead. "What do you know about Love? You're still young for that. Aminin mo tinakot ka ba nya? Did he forced you to do that?" I can't believe mom just said that.
"MOM! He's not like that!" I can't help but to raise my voice also.
"And now you're raising your voice to me! yan ba ang natututunan mo dyan sa teacher mo! ha! Bea, we didn't raise you just to be fooled by a man." She said hysterically. Dad is still trying to calm her.
"Mom. Dad. Please try to understand me. Naging mabuting anak ako sa inyo at ito lang po ang hinihingi ko. Intindihin nyo naman po kami. Mahal namin ang isa't is..."
"No! This should be stop! I will stop this. And this is final." She said firmly and all I could do is to cry harder. She didn't even let me finish my explanation. All I just want from them is to hear me and try to understand me. Mahirap bang gawin yun?
I look to dad asking for help. Asking for him to understand me better. To go to my side but instead he give me this disappointed look.
"Bea, Umakyat ka na sa kwarto mo. Me and your mom still need to talk a lot of things." Dad said. I'm tried arguing with mom so I followed him but before I could even make a step mom demand me to give my phone to her. And without a word, I give it to her.
Bago pa man ako makaayat sa kwarto ko ay narinig ko pa silang nag-uusap na para bang may balak silang ipadala ako sa tita ko sa new york. At alam kung kayang kaya nilang gawin yun and with mom status right now it can be happen within this week.
Kaya pagkapasok ko sa kwarto ko ay agad kong kinuha ang laptop ko and I immediately email James before they could even think of turning off the internet.
To: JamesD
James. alam na din nina mom and dad and they are very furious. Sirado ang isip nila at ayaw nilang pakinggan kahit anong rason ko. Narinig ko pa silang nag-uusap na ipapadala nila ako kay tita sa New York para ilayo ako sayo. They already have my phone and I know this laptop also soon. I don't want to leave you but I feel helpless right now James. Ilayo mo na ako dito bago pa nila ako ilayo sayo.
Then I hit the send button. I hope he could read that as soon as possible. Alam kung lagi nyang chinecheck ang imail nya at sana he still do it today.
And luckily, he did.

Let's talk about this over Skype.
So I immediately open my Skype.
"Is it that really bad?" He asked me. He is already in his house and from his background I guess he is in his room.
"Mom was hysterical. Dad was silent but I know he is just as disappointed as Mom." kwento ko sa kanya. I can see it clearly in his eyes that he is very disappointed to me, to his only daughter.
"I think I should come over there right now." He cannot come here now, not when my mom still clouded with his anger and disappointment with me, it will just makes everything worst.
