Gumising ako ng maaga kinabukasan at nag ayos ng para sa pagpasok sa trabaho. Kasalukuyan akong nag guguhit ng eye liner sa mata ng nag ring ang phone ko.
"Hello Dad? Good morning." Bungad ko ng nalamang si Daddy ang tumatawag.
"Good morning princess, i forgot to tell you something.."
Nagpatuloy ako sa pagguhit ng eye liner sa mata gamit ang isang kamay habang nakikinig kay Daddy.
"Nagrequest ang Area manager sa Makati na magrotate ng General manager dahil may issue daw? Didn't heard about the details so might as well ask them about it."
"Okay Dad, ill call you afterwards to tell you bout that as soon as i get there. Anything else?" I asked while preparing myself to leave.
"Nothing else, but wait up hija, your Mom wants to talk to you." Mabilis na sagot ni Daddy at narinig ko pa sa kabilang linya na tinawag nya si Mommy at inabot ang telepono.
"Lei babyyyy!! I miss you anak! How are you my baby girl?" Mom asked in a high pitch tone.
Oh God. My ears!
"Im fine Mom. Im heading to the office now." I said while locking the door of my unit at naglakad na papuntang elevator.
"Have you eaten your breakfast? Baka mangayayat ka nyan. Why not sa bahay nalang kase magstay, hija? Marami tayong katulong--"
Pababa na ako sa basement using the elevator ng pinutol ko sa pagsasalita si mommy.
"Mom, Mom.. Calm down. Kaya ko na'ng sarili ko. Sa office na lang po ako magbe-breakfast. And i told you hundred times Mom, mas convenient kung dito ako sa condo.." Sabi ko habang palabas ng elevator at papunta ng kotse.
"Well atleast accept my offer na magpadala ng personal maid mo dyan para bawas hassel sayo." Mom offered.
"No need Mom. I told you i can manage." Tamad kong sagot sa paulit ulit na pamimilit ni Mommy sa offer na yan.
"Honey! Baka naman may nag aalaga naman talaga sa anak mo. You know? Boyfriend." Dinig kong singit ni Daddy sa kabilang linya.
"Oh! Now i get it! Awww.. Our baby is not a baby anymore. Cry Cry Cry!" Pag aacting ni Mommy na nagpakunot ng noo ko. "Malapit ng mag asawa ang anak natin Honey."
WHAT THE?!!
Gosh! How can they tease me like that?! Ang bata bata ko pa! Im only 20. And to think na yung ibang parents e binabawalang magrelasyon ang anak lalo na kung hindi pa nakakayari ng pag aaral. Even Kate's parents are most likely that way. They just can't tame Kate. She's so hardheaded and stubborn. Samantalang sila tinutukso pa ko? Thank God for my crazy parents. Sarcasm.
"Mom, Dad.. wala po akong boyfriend, okay? I can take care of myself cause im old enough to do that. Pero ang mag asawa? Duh! Matagal pa po 'yon."
"Okay lang anak hindi naman kame nagmamadali. Ang sinasabi ko lang naman sayo ay hindi na kame bumabata.. Gusto naman namin maalagaan pa ang magiging apo namin. Ahihihi"
And there.. I found my jaw, dropped. BIG TIME.
Huminto ako sa tapat ng kotse ko at maghahanap ng susi. "You're not old Mom. Stop pressuring me. Mamaya kakaganyan nyo makapang-asawa ako ng gangster. I need to go now, Mom."
"Okay then.." Disappointed na sagot ni Mommy. "Take care always, I love you and I miss you, baby! Pumili ka ng may magandang lahi na gangster ah. Hahahaha!"
"Bye, Mom. Miss you too. Love you!" Binaba ko ang telepono at sumakay sa kotse dahil alam ko kukulitin lang ako ni Mommy. Hayyy. Mapapangiti ka nalang ng wala sa oras.
