Tita Bridgette and Cheryl walk out of the room after it, si Andres hinila nalang ni Eirie saka sumunod narin kina Tito Gen at Lolo kaya tumayo narin ako para sumunod pero bago pa ako maka hakbang nahawakan na ni Mama ang kaliwa kong kamay.
I gulped when I saw my brother’s smirk and how Papa sat to Lolo's chair earlier. The real talk is about to start, akala ko pa naman ay makakalusot na ako kanina.
Akala ko lang
“Ma?” pa inosente kong tanong kahit pa ginapangan na ng kaba ng makita ko na nakangisi lang si Mama sa akin.
Deym eym so dead. I know that smile. Shiz, nararamdaman ko ang malamig na pawis na namumuo sa aking noo at ang pagpapawis narin ng sariling kamay.
“almost one hour of drama?” Ani Mama nang sumulyap sa wrist watch niya at hindi parin binibitawan ang akin
“I told you Lara, mag uusap tayo." aniya at pinaupo ako ulit sa pwesto at siya naman ay tinuko ang kamay na sumandal sa may study table na nasa harap naming lahat.
Humalukipkip si Mama habang matamaan kaming pinagkatitigan tatlo, still wearing her smile that creeps the hell out of me.
“Lagot ka," kuya whispered while smirking at me so I gave him a deadpan look but his smirk grow wider which ticks me more
“Stop smirking Lowell Francis, “ saway ni Mama
“burn” I absent mindedly commented, oh shit fuck!shut up ka nalang kasi jusmiyo!
I saw Mama arch her brow while observing us again then she focus on Papa na naka poker face lang.
The last time that Mama talked to us like this ay yung tumakas kami nila Tres at Dwayne para gumala saka pinagtakpan kami ni Papa. Kuya was too drunk so he didn’t noticed our disappearance kaya lahat kami nalintikan. It’s like a golden rule to fool anyone but not Mama dahil sasamain ka talaga.
Goodness ayoko nang maglinis ulit ng banyo! Not that I don’t know how to pero ang maglinis sa lahat ng banyo ng kompanya ay ibang usapan na, naiimagine ko na pag tinanong kami ng Professor namin ng “how's your summer?” banyo is life? Shit shut the hell up Rei! Stop imagining things!
“Anton, " panimula niya her tone is a bit serious this time.
“you disappointed me, you know that but you dare to disappoint me more on this” dagdag niya at naiiling pa.
I saw Papa’s guilty expression as he look straight into Mama nago nayuko ulit at nagkuyom ng kamao. Honestly, earlier I am only bothered about my sudden escaped and how I ignored and block Mama's calls and messages but now I am bothered with what Mama just said.
Maybe one of the reason is the fixed marriage which I just took lightly a while ago since I chose leave that one for a while dahil wala pang date at planstado pa so far ang plano ko para doon but what is the other thing? Yung pag cro'cross enroll ko? But that alone is my doing so imposibleng iyon ang isa pa.
“Lowell, I am expecting a good reason behind your sudden agreement earlier.” Baling niya kay Kuya na parang nasa ibang mundo nilipad ang utak.
“Mama, please wag na muna—” he said but Mama cut him off by placing her wicked smirk and divert her attention on me.
Aadfghjkshit think Rei! Stay fuckin' calm!
What is it? May nahahalata ako kay Andress kanina pero iba ata ang mas pinoproblema ni Kuya. Is it that big na maging si Mama pinutol talaga ang sasabihin niya?
