Chapter 15

My May
--

Ethan's POV

I woke up early because Mom told us na magsisimba kami lahat. Naligo at nagbihis na muna ako bago bumaba but my phone rings kaya naman kinuha ko ito.

Halos mabitawan ko ito sa gulat. Bakit kaya sya tumawag?

I took a deep sigh before I answered the call.

"H-Hello", I said. Mygad! Bakit ba ako nauutal?

"Ahh.. Hi!", she said. I can't help not to smile. Her voice. She is hesitant.

"Good morning!", I greeted, nah!

"Good morning too.. Well, I called you 'coz I just want to remind you that Mr. Dizon will visit sa Batangas by Monday, please call Engr. Chris and Engr. Louie", she said, yun naman pala. Important matter. Pero pwede naman niya itext lang, di ba?

"Okay", I said, "You could just have texted me"

"Ha? Ahh, ehh.. I'm not used to it"

"You sure? Or you just missed my voice? Or me instead?" , I imagined her face right now. I think she creased her forehead na. Natawa ako.

"Ang kapal mo! Bwisit ka sa umaga! Bye!", Natawa na lang ako. I'm just a bit happy hearing her annoyed. Syempre, I don't want her to be irritated, baka magalit pa lalo. Damn! Baliw ka na yata Ethan!

"Good morning Mom, Dad!", I greeted them. Nandito na ako sa dining area, "Where's Nika?"

"I'm here! Good morning!", Nika interrupted. Kababa lang pala niya.

We ate our breakfast ata agad naman kaming pumunta sa church.

We prefer to attend mass at Christ The King Church since malapit lang naman sa amin. Kahit maaga pa but there are lot of mass attendees na.

I'm so much blessed having my family now. Well, kahit minsan lang kami magsama-sama sa bahay but we make sure na we have a bonding atleast once. Nakakatuwa lang.

The mass has ended pero nandito pa rin kami sa loob.

"Ethan!", out of nowhere voice. Napalingon ako, it was Hailey with her mother.

"Hello po Tita", I said as I give her a hug. Matagal na rin kaming hindi nagkita.

"Hi Ethan, Hello po Tito, Tita, and hi Niks", si Hailey sabay lapit sa pamilya ko. Well, their are friends naman with my family but ramdam ko na aloof si Mommy kay Hailey.

Napangiti lang sina Mommy at Nika. 

"Hello Iha", si Daddy as gave Hailey a hug.

"Yayayain sana namin si Ethan to have lunch with us but he's with you pala", si Tita Lyan, "Next time na lang"

"Yeah, minsan lang din kami magsama-sama", si Mommy.

"Ahh, yes Tita Lyan, next time na lang. I'm sorry po", sabi ko.

"No. Don't be sorry, well, it's your family bonding naman, O siya, we have to go", sabi niya.

"Bye Ethan. See you na lang sa work!", si Hailey as she waved goodbye sa amin.

Nandito pa rin kami sa loob. Marami pa namang tao na nandito pa rin. Nakaupo lang kami dito sa loob.

"Mom", si Nika, "Mom? That's Maxine right?" sabay turo sa may harapan.

I saw a girl talking to nun wearing a knee length long sleeve dress. She smiles genuinely and I knew it was her. Her smile and her laugh is infectious though.
