"Gumana ang acting skills ko, grabe pwede na ako maging actor!" Sabi ni Uncle David at tinapik niya ang balikat ko.
"But you are an actor, paminsan. Nagcacameo ka kaya sa mga pelikula ni Aunt Ella." I said as I help Aunt Ella prepare our dinner.
"Pssst! Spoiler ka hahaha! Teka, Anong nangyari?" Tanong ni Aunt at nilapag ang bowl sa mesa. Napatingin si Uncle sa akin at tumawa.
"I went to their school earlier and I told Ashley that she was pretty. Then, our great sister stood up and told us that Ashley is not pretty, but she is beautiful. Hahahaha! Her reaction was so funny." Sabi ni uncle habang kumuha ka ng rice. Tawang tawa talaga siya ah? Ako? Tuwang tuwa.
"Ano ang reaction ng Mom mo Junie?" Tanong ni Aunt Ella.
"Well..."
Flashback (earlier)
"Are you okay Ash?" Tanong ko kay Mom while we're answering our seatwork in statistics.
"H-ha?! Oh yes! I-I'm o-o-k-ay!" Sabi niya at nahulog niya ang pen niya. Anong nangyari dito? She's been so clumsy after the incident earlier.
"Are you sure?" I asked and held her face. Omg!!
"OMG you're burning!" I exclaimed. She looked at me and holy moly she's so red!!
"What is happening there Corlan and Corey?!" Tanong ni Ma'am at nilapitan kaming dalawa.
"Who's burning?" She added. Napatingin si Ma'am kay Mom at chineck ang noo ni Mom, napasigaw siya.
"Corey! You should visit the clinic immediately!" Ma'am said. Napatingin sa amin ang lahat at natatawa ako deep inside.
"Ma'am! I'm okay! I'm really..." Mom is explaining things and I just realized why kung bakit siya namumula.
She is blushing hard when Dada told her that she is beautiful! Hahahaha!!!
Hindi pa rin siya nakaget over!
I looked back at Dada who is looking back at us, she looks worried kahit nakairap siya. I can tell.
Tumawa kaming tatlo after telling them the story.
"So, malapit na matupad ang hinihiling mo. What happens after that? Ano ang mangyayari sayo?" Tanong ni Aunt Ella sa akin. I shrugged my shoulders as my answer.
"I really don't know what will happen to me. Will I go back to my time? I don't know. If I'll go back, Mom is dead and... and..."
"And what? Junie sometimes you need to accept that Ashley is gone. Let me ask you this, how did she died? Was she sick?" Uncle David asked while chewing his food.
I... I don't want to say it.
"She was... shot." I said and tried to control my emotions. Nabitawan ni Aunt Ella ang spoon and fork niya.
"Shot? Who shot her?" Aunt asked. I shook and bowed my head.
"I don't know. I don't know." I said as I shake my head. Oh how I wish I knew the killer who killed Mom. I will really go after that asshole!!
"Baka naman kalaban nila sa work?" Uncle asked.
"Imposible magkaroon ng kalaban si Mom at Dada sa work. They are one of the most kindest people."
"You need to listen. Maybe kalaban ni Danielle ang pumatay kay Ashley. You should stick to her baka naman may makuha kang information." Advice ni Aunt Ella sa akin. What does she mean by Dada's enemy? I guess I should stick to Dada and ask her things.
