Chapter 29

Nervous

Ilang linggo ang nakakalipas nang sinabi sa akin ni Theo na ipapakilala niya ako sa kanyang magulang. Noong una akala ko ay nagbibiro lang siya.

His recent birthdays was celebrated by party with his friends.

Speaking of his birthday, nahihirapan akong magisip kung ano ang pwede 'kong ibigay na regalo sa kanya.

Nakakahiya naman kung hindi ako magbibigay. Nung birthday ko ay sinopresa niya ako tapos ako walang regalo para sa kaarawan nya?

Sinabi ko naman sa kanya na ibibigay ko nalang ang regalo ko sa kanya at huwag na akong ipakilala sa mga magulang niya pero tinanggihan niya lang ito.

Mas mabuti na daw na walang regalo kaysa hindi ako pumunta sa kaarawan niya.

Ugh! I am stock! I am very nervous! What if his parents would not like me? What if...

"Pam?" Nagising ako ng realidad nang tawagin ako ni Matt.

"Y-yes?"

"Uh?" Napakamot siya sa batok niya.

"What is it, Matt?" Tanong ko.

"Can you convince Theo to set the party."

"Party?" I asked.

"It is new that he's not going to throw a party on his birthday." Matt said.

"Matt!" Nath exclaimed. "Theo will be angry at you because you're forcing her to convince him!" He exclaimed.

"Sorry. Pam is the only one who can convince him" Matt raise both of his hands.

"Why didn't he set a party?" Tanong ko ngunit umiwas lang sila ng tingin sa akin, hmm. "May I asked something?" Tanong ko.

"Of course." Matt said. Dahil isa sila sa malapit kay Theo ay nagbabakasakali akong sila ang makakatulong sa akin.

"I probably need help. I don't know what to give Theo for a present." Pagkasabi ko non ay humagapak na sila sa tawa.

"That's the same line that Theo have told a week before your birthday." Nath grin.

Nagkamali ako na ang kambal na inaasahan kong makakatulong sa akin ay hindi pala. Siguro ay magtatanong nalang ako kila Patrict o di kaya ay magpapasama ako kay Aubrey na humanap ng regalo.

"We also bought contact lens. Hindi naman pala kaylangan ni Pam ng salamin pero nagsalamin pa siya. Kaya ayan, tuluyan ng lumabo." Aubrey said.

"It's a good thing she agree to buy." Ava said.

"Of course I force her to. We know Pam." Aubrey shook her head.

"I could imagine you convincing her." Ava laughed.

"Ang bilis ng panahon, hindi 'ko namalayan na bukas na pala ime meet ni Pam yung parents ni Theo." Aubrey teased. They laugh as the water continues to flow out of the sink without me noticing it.

Tama siya, ang bilis nga ng araw. Hindi 'ko namalayan na bukas na ang kaarawan ni Theo.

"Oh come on, why are you so nervous?" Ava asked. I am doing the dishes and they are both watching me.

"She's thinking that Theo's parents would not like her." Aubrey said.

"That was rude to think. Stop pressuring yourself, Pam." Ava said.

"I agree." Aubrey said.

Sino naman ang hindi kakabahan hindi ba?

"Come, let's choose what you're going to wear." Hinila ako ni Aubrey habang hawak niya sa kabilang kamay ang laptop.
