Chapter 11

I can't drive

There's this thing I'm feeling that I couldn't help myself but to worry about it, I just felt bothered sa mangyayaring dinner mamaya. I really don't expect that he will come kasi sino ba naman ang aasa without the assurance of it diba? Kahit na sinabi niyang pupunta siya, boys are still boys, some of them doesn't really bother to do it because they would think it's just a game.

I keep re-reading his respond to me and I was really hoping that he would show up and how my parents were so giddy to what will happen and I really reminded them that they should not cooked at least five dishes baka kasi in the end, kami lang din ang kumain noon and I don't think Reddy will each that much because of his good physique, he's on his daily practice that's why he's body is so fine and right.

Nang bumaba naman ako to see my parents but when I roam around the house, hindi ako mapakali dahil wala sila. Hindi ko alam iyong feel pero nakakapanlumo talaga and I want to know what will happen later if Reddy didn't come and have themselves disappointed because of hoping too much?

Or is it just me thinking too much that this dinner would end up, in not so good situation.

Pumunta naman ako sa kusina to see if they already prepared to what they'll serve in dinner later, there are no raw ingredient can be found even on the refregirator? Baka naman nakalimutan nila and they were really joking sa dinner na iyon at ako naman itong uto-uto para sundin ang sinasabi nila sa akin, can't really think straight right now, hindi ako makomportable.

But gladly I found some breakfast on the table, kumain naman ako and I couldn't help myself to think what will happen into this very table kung saan maghaharap ang parents ko at si Reddy. I know I shouldn't worry about this too much pero hindi mo rin naman maaalis sa akin ang ganitong feeling lalo na't one of the popular person itong inimbitihan ko sa bahay.

Mayamaya lamang ay narinig kong may pumasok sa pinto, dali dali rin naman akong napatayo sa kinauupuan ko at tingnan kung sino iyong dumating. I bound to found Mom overhauling a lot of grocery goods. Agad ko naman siyang tinulungan para dalhin rin iyong mga pinamili niya sa kitchen. I checked every grocery bags to know what she's preparing later but I don't know it all these ingredients for.

"What dish you'll cook Mom?" I asked her.

She just smiled on me, "I would keep it as a secret muna at hindi ka naman mapapahiya because of it, you will find him na baka mag-take out pa siya no'n." and shew winked on me.

I grunted the feeling out of me, "'Yong totoo Mom? Don't make this thing really embarrassing for me, wala na akong maihaharap na mukha sa kanya kapag nagkataon."

She hugged me then, just to comfort me because of frustrations na nararamdaman ko. "Don't worry about it Hon, we'll help you and him to get to know more."

"Mom!" I said, trying to pull out this as a joke but she was chill and excited about it, siguro iyon talaga iyong feeling kapag alam mong may darating na lalaki for your daughter. "What about Dad? Nasaan siya, hindi mo kasama sa pag-grocery?"

"He visits our Laundry shop and other branches."

"Why now?" I asked."

"When do you think business needs it time, Alex?"

Napakibit balikat na lang din naman ako sa sinabi niya,at napiling na lang din to get clear out the thoughts. "Whatever Mom, basta, don't expect him to come and if he did, make this dinner not too personal about me, okay?"
