Zail's POV.
Nang makarating kami sa bahay ay agad kaming sinalubung nila mommy.
"Baby! welcome home." Sabi ni mommy at niyakap ako and i hug her back. "I miss you, so how are you? How's your vacation?" Grabe si mom kung maka tanong. "Are you now in a relationship again?" Mom said at kumalas sa akin at naglakad na kami papasok ng bahay at si kuya Zander naman tinulungan si kuya Zyrus. Si dad? I think he is not here maybe he has a business meeting as always.
"I'm ok mom and i miss you too. I'm not in a relationship and you know it already, why i am not, right? And why you are asking me that kind of question mom?"
I said in a serious tone of voice, naka rating na kami sa loob at agad naman kaming pinaghadaan ng makakain ni manang Elga ng makakain, hindi na muna ako nagbihis at dumiritso na agad ako sa dining, it's already 9:45 in the evening so i feel hungry na. "By the way mom where is dad?" I ask mom when i start to eat, iniba ko ang usapan.
"Your dad is busy to our business in LA, but he will be back on Thursday." Mom said as i was said my dad a busy as always. "And for the answer of your question, why i am asking you? Because i just want to know if you are already move on from.... You know!" Mom said again na parang nag aalangan pa.
I just nod to my mom and i don't talk any more while i am eating.
I am not really close to my dad because of the reason that he is always busy in our business.
Sometimes i undeclinable to think if he love us or they really love our business than us.
After the dinner, but! i think that is not a dinner it is midnight snack! I decide to go in my room. No more conversation with my mom. Alam kong tungkol lang naman sa love life ko ang itatanong nya, ganon si mommy masyadong intrigera pagdating sa lovelife ko. But i can't blame her, my mom is just concerned to me. But i don't want to talk about my past.
'I miss this room, umuuwi kasi ako dito kapag Christmas vacation pero noong last Christmas ay doon ako sa Ilocos nag stay.
Humiga na ako sa kama, halata naman na pinalinisan ito ni mommy bago pa ako dumating.
Agad naman akong nakatulog dahil sa subrang pagod sa biyahe.
......
Nagising ako sa tunog ng alarm ng cellphone ko agad ko iyong kinuha sa ibabaw ng study table ko at ini off ang alarm. 6:30 na kaya bumangon na ako para maligo.
Nang matapos na akong maligo at magbihis, ay bumaba nako at dumiretso sa kusina at nandoon na si mommy pati narin sila kuya.
"Good morning darling! Nakatulog kaba ng maayos?
Mom ask. I just nod and smile at her. "So are you ready to go in your new school?" Dagdag pa ni mom.
Huminga ako ng malalim bago sya sinagot. "Yes!" Sabi ko at nag simula ng kumain.
"Don't worry baby ihahatid kita papunta sa school mo." Kuya Zander said.
Tiningnan ko lang sya at tumango, wala ako sa mood mag salita.
"Mom pupunta pala dito sila Laine mamaya gusto raw kasi ni Kevin na makita ang tita nya." Kuya Zyrus said. Si ate Laine ang asawa ni kuya at si Kevin naman ay anak nila 10years old na ito, may bahay na sila sa Quezon but sometimes si kuya dito umuuwi.
"Oh that's great." Mom said.
Nang makatapos na kaming kumain ay agad ko ng kinuha ang bag ko sa kwarto.
"Goobye mom." Sabi ko at hinalikan ko sya sa pisngi.
"Ok ingat kayo sa biyahe, 'enjoy your first day of school and don't worry mababait ang studyante doon." Mom said.
"I'll try to be ok!" Sabi ko at sumakay na sa kotse ni kuya Zander.
Wala akong imik hangang sa makarating sa school. It's too huge, mukhang mahihirapan akong mag adjust, new environment, new classmates, new chapter of my life.
