Hotbreaker's Series 6: Right Kind Of Wrong

"Are you sure about this?" napangiti ako ng itanong muli sa akin nina mommy and daddy ang tanong na iyon.

Kasalukuyan akong nagaayos ng mga gamit na dadalhin ko sa condo unit na iniregalo sa akin nina mommy at daddy on my 18th birthday... Malapit lamang iyon sa University and I have my own car na rin naman though I am not planning to use it more often since walking distance lang naman ang University sa place ko.

"Yes mom..dad... We talk about it na po di ba?Dapat nga ho right after my debut I lilipat na po ako kaso nadelay ....nahihirapan po akong bumyahe from here to Metro... And di po ba tight ang security ng tutuluyan ko roon as you checked on it... And I am sure that you'll be sending security personel without my knowledge...kaya don't worry too much parents... I'll be here once na hindi po busy sa school...I'll a good girl!" sabi ko sa kanila

Nagkatinginan ang dalawa at huminga ng malalim. "Our daughter is a lady now... " ani mom kay dad na ikinatawa lang nmin

"Si Toffer ba ang susundo sayo anak?" mom asked

Natigilan ako sa tanong nito... Bumigat ang pakiramdam ko dahil doon... We haven't talk or seen each other since that night at the bar... I avoides his calls and deleted all his text ... My guilt is eating me... I felt like a cheater...and worst is... I am loving the feeling...

Simula din ng gabing iyon ay naging persistent si PJ sa akin... He always calls and texts me... To check on me...if how am I doing... If I already ate... And so... He even visited me and accompany me with my errands and apointments... And I hate to say it... But I am loving his attention... Though lahat ng iyon ay patago at pasimple... He is like my secret...

"Uhm... N-no mom... Busy po kasi siya sa work... A-and I don't want to disturb him..." kinakabahan kong sagot rito at iniwas ang mata sa mapanantyang tingin nila...

"May... Problema ba kayo ng batang iyon anak? Napapansin ko kasing hindi na sya nagagawi rito... At ni hindi ko na nakikitang naguusap kayo sa cellphone... " nagaalalang tanong ni mom.

Huminga ako ng malalim at pilit kinakalma ang sarili...

"Mom... W-wala po... Busy lang po talaga siya... " palusot ko at isinara ang maleta ko.

Huminga ng malalim si mommy na tila sumusuko na...

I know she is worried about me and my feelings... But I can't open myself to her not even to anyone closed to me... Natatakot akong mahusgahan...

"Kung ganoon sino ang maghahatid sayo? Alam mo namang may appointment kami ni daddy mo maya-maya... And Mang Rogelio will drive for us... Or would you like us to drive you to Metro.. We could cancel our appointment...right dad?" ani mom

"Yes... We can do that..anak..."ani dad na tila nagaalangan.. Alam kong importante ang apointment nilang iyon...

"No need po... PJ I mean Kuya PJ will drive for me... He volunteered himself when he found out from Zen na walang maghahatid sa akin... " maingat kong sabi sa mga ito. The last part was a lie... Cause I was the one who mentioned it to him last night over the phone...

Nakita ko ang pagaliwalas at pagsaya ng mukha nila... I know they love PJ so much... And it makes them happy that I am getting along with him recently... I even told them na we are sort of a close friend... Yet not mentioning that he is my lil dirty secret...

May sasabihin pa sana si dad ng marinig namin ang katok ng maid...at sinabing nasa baba na si PJ... My heart beats fast...and excitements covers me...

"Seems like PJ is already here ... Come on... Let dad carry your things. " ani dad at inagaw ang maleta mula sa akin.

Napangiti ako rito... And mutter thanks to my father and how best he is ...
