TWISTED FATE (On Going)

MEET KLEIGH 2

Continuation...

KLEIGH'S POV:

Flashback...

"Mom, where are we going? Are we going to meet some friends of yours again? I already told you that I am not some kind of a body guard here. I just want to stay at home and play games instead......" Said I while mom is too busy putting her make up on and changing clothes from time to time as if she's a celebrity.

She hussed me by placing her index finger in between my lips and made a gesture like she was zipping her big mouth. I irritatedly rolled my eyes at tinabig ang kamay niya mula sa labi ko. I really hate girls. They are a bunch of over reacting yet hideous creatures, and sad to say my mom is one of them.

"Come here baby boy. Put this on. It will look good on you." Aniya habang inilalahad sa harapan ko ang hawak nitong black V-neck shirt at light yellow knee-length shorts.

Napataas ang kilay ko dahil sa napakabadoy na taste ni mommy pagdating sa pananamit. Is she really the great Ashley Channelle Kwon, the famous woman in the fashion industry and the world's highest-paid couturier? Ni hindi man lang nakapasa sa panlasa ko ang style niya. Psh.

"What?" Naiiritang tanong nito when she saw me rolling my eyes at her.

Padabog akong umupo sa gilid ng kama and crossed my arms in front of my chest. "I'm not going." Nagtatampong bulong ko habang nakapout.

Mommy sat beside me at ngumiti nanga nakakaloko. Ano na naman kayang binabalak ng isang 'to? I smell something fishy.

"I'll introduce you to someone there. I know you'll surely like this idea." Excited na aniya at pumalakpak pa na animo'y nanonood ng isang romantic na pelikula.

Yuck ha? I already have a crush and she's the prettiest. I am not interested to whomever she's telling me. I have no trust with her motherly instinct na palagi niyang ipinagmamayabang. Everthing and everyone that she recommends me is just a failure. And hello, I am just a nine year old boy then she's already into setting me up for a blind date? Baka naman kense anyos pa lang ako ay ipakasal na ako ni mom.

"Sige na baby boy." Nakangusong sabi ni mom habang hinahatak ang braso ko as if she's like a kid having tantrums.

Sa halip na pakinggan siya ay humilata na lamang ako sa kama and spread my arms kagaya ng isang ibon. I looked at the ceiling and closed my eyes to pretend that I had fallen asleep para hindi na niya ako maisama pa. Haha. Nice job Kleigh. You're such a genius boy.

"Tita..." Tawag ng isang boses babae sa napakamalumanay na tinig.

I immediately rise on bed and stared at the girl who is wearing a pair of huge eyeglasses, with her hair tied in a messy bun. She's in a long black skirt that reaches her ankles yet a white spaghetti strap on the top. Weird! Is she a nun? Or is she a dwarf dressed in a human clothe? An old woman maybe who has an issue of dwarfism? Sa anong century ba siya ipinanganak at bakit ganyan ang ayos niya? Ang badoy! Yak!

"Hello there Selene." Excited na bati ni mommy sa batang babae and kissed her left and right cheeks with sound effects. Mom is still holding that girl's face and smiled. "You're really cute. How I wish my little boy is as sweet as you." Pagpaparinig ni mommy sa kunwari'y nagtatampong boses nito. Pweee.

Tumango nang bahagya yung bata at sinilip ako sa gilid ng ulo ni mom. She smiled a little and d*mn na star struck ako sa ngiting 'yun.

"Tita, mom is waiting downstairs. Aren't we going yet?" She asked while wiggling her eyebrows na animo'y nahihiya pa sa ginagawa niya.
