The Epitome Of Me

7

"Kyle! Make it fast. We're gonna be late!" Mom said as I went out of the room. Lagi niya akong sinasabihan na ang bagal bagal ko kumilos. Kaya tuwing aalis kami ako yung unang ginigising. It takes me about an hour to finish my self kase.

Rich laughed at me habang umiinon ito ng kape. What? Hindi ba to nauwe sa kanila? I just know that he likes being here to annoy me.

That's what he always do. Ganyan naman daw talaga si Rich sa aming magpipinsan, mapang asar kala mo kung sino siya pero maalaga naman. Mom said that it was clearly dahil ako nalang yung "bata" pa sa amin. Yung iba ko kasing pinsan mga dalaga't binata na daw at ayaw nang magpa alaga. But for me I guess I like companion. I just don't want to be alone, it scares me.

"Kyle, fix your hair. You can't go to a business meeting like that." Si mommy ang laging pumupuna sakin kapag hindi ako nag aayos. Kesyo daw ayoko mag makeup.

She even insisted that I learn to do makeup and that I should get my hair straighted! Pero ayoko, I'm just not into things like makeup. Nakakairita minsan sa mukha yung mga ganon, a powder will do. Besides I'm still in high school, makeups won't matter.

Magkaibang magkaiba Sila mama at papa. I wonder what got them interested in each other. Mom used to say to me na mag aayos daw ako ng mukha ko, everything physical but my dad usually contrast. He says na hindi ko naman daw kailangan ng ganon, pagpapaganda, baka daw may manligaw pa saken. Pero knowing mom she doesn't like when things doesn't go her way and she won't stop until so.

Nakarating kami sa isang restaurant kung saan may mini garden sa likod nito. It looked very fancy. Mahahalata mo na mamayaman ang mga napunta dito because the place looks really good.

Iginiya kami ng waiter sa upuan habang hinihintay ang mga kakausapin nila papa. As I know magoopen ng isang business and taong ito and he's getting my dad for its engineering. Si mama naman she only questions dad's decision. She's very transparent when it comes to things. If she doesn't like it, she'll tell it honestly.

Umorder kami ng pagkain habang naghihintay. I'm used to this kinds of situation. Lagi naman kase akong sinasama nila papa sa ganito. It was dad's idea na to get me into engineering or business but mom always remind me to go for what I want hindi yung gusto ng iba para sakin.

Yung kapatid ko naman hinding hindi mo maisasama sa ganito, napaka mainipin. And he's too vague para makita namin ang interests niya.

"Sino 'yang ka chat mo? Sus, patingin nga." Pang aasar Ni Rich. Binulong niya lang ito sa tabi ko kaya hindi narinig nila mama besides their busy talking to someone over their phones.

"Group chat 'to! Tignan mo pa." Pinabasa ko sa kanya yung nga tinitignan ko sa phone ko. Ayoko lang kase sa lahat yung pinagdududahan ako. Because I know for myself that I'm honest and I won't keep secrets from them. I'll tell them everything naman but some just takes time.

"They're here. Fix yourselves." Mom reminded us habang tinitignan naming ang mga papasok sa pintuan ng restaurant. Its just 8 in the morning kaya hindi pa matao. Ayaw na ayaw talaga Ni mommy ang hindi organized. She always wants things to be in its place.

We did the usual things. Greetings and then the meeting started. It was a briefing para sa gagawing gym.

I suppose this guy's in his early 30's and still single. I wonder why, he's got he looks, money, personality, I mean isn't it confusing that a famous businessman is still a bachelor.

"I'm sorry for keeping you guys waiting." He explained himself. "Is it okay if we start kahit wala pa si Paolo. He said he'll be here naman na, traffic daw kase." Mr. Aragon talked about his client.

He is the agent/consultant  that gets our clients. Basically he works for our company. But he still needs to know the plans for the clients. Its weird that I only met him now when in fact he's been with us for months. Baka 'Di ko lang napapansin.
