Chapter 20
"Ugh, are you guys done with your drama?" Sandra said while rolling her eyes at us. Mom was still crying habang ako naman ay medyo tumigil na sa kakaiyak. Wow, its been years since I last called someone 'Mom'.
"Would you like to join us for lunch?" Mom asked.
I looked at Zade na papalapit na sa'min. Tinignan naman siya ni Mom from head to toe and obviously, she's already judging him.
"I'm sorry, did the both of you already had plans?" She asked.
"No, Ma'am. You can have Kashmere for the day." Sagot ni Zade sa kanya. And since when did he became such a polite person?
"And you are?" Tanong ni Mom sa kanya.
"I'm Earl Zade Evardome."
"Ohh, okay."
Then she looked at me as if she was saying na nakahuli ako ng magandang isda. Gosh, was she this playful before? Nakalimutan ko na kasi kung anong ugali ang meron siya dahil siguro pinilit ko na siyang burahin sa buhay ko. But the fact that she's my mother still remains.
"Well then, I'll bring her back tonight."
"Sure, Ma'am." Then Zade smiled at her.
"Whatever, come on, Mom. Let's eat, I'm soooo hungry!" Pagrereklamo ni Sandra.
This girl is really ruining our atmosphere. Parang kagabi lang she's super sad about something at ngayon bumalik na siya sa pagiging bitchesa niya.
"Let's go?" Mom asked me.
"Yeah, sure." Sagot ko and then I glanced at Zade. "See you later."
"Enjoy." Sagot niya. I hugged him at sumunod na kila Sandra pagkatapos.
"It seems that I'll be your date, babe." I heard Alfred said to him. Tch, those guys. I hope they do get along well. After all, they're not really on good terms with each other.
Sandra, the maarte girl that she is, of course chose a restaurant which offered healthy snacks as their menu. Well, I can make an exemption today since I wouldn't want to look bloated in pictures later. One advantage of having a Mom is that they always treat you. Siguro na miss ko din yung ganito. If only Karina can come. I wonder is Mom already knows that Karina is pregnant.
"So how's your sister?" Mom asked. "I haven't been seeing her lately."
"I don't know if she already told you but she's pregnant."
Halos malaglag ang hawak niyang kutsara nang marinig ang sinabi ko. Sandra had the same reaction. Obviously, they had no idea. Well, I do think they have the right to know.
"Really?" Nakangiting tanong niya.
"I think she'd be happy if you go visit her." I said.
"Well then, I'll do that when we get back." She answered and smiled. "How about you? Is Zade Evardome your boyfriend?"
"Oh my god Mom, you know what, that girl is so pakipot." Sandra exclaimed. Tinignan ko naman siya ng masama while Mom just sighed.
"He's not my boyfriend.. yet." Di ko alam kung bakit dinagdagan ko pa ng 'yet' yung sagot ko pero tumango tango nalang si Mom bilang sagot.
"He's a good man." She said. Well, everyone around me has been saying that.
We talked about a lot of things, especially the things about me dahil sa kadahilanang madami siyang hindi alam sa'kin. She just kept on asking and asking questions na para bang walang hangganan ang mga tanong niya. And of course, our beloved Sandra is taking her time spotting boys.
