SKIPPER

"Dapat ay sinisimulan mo nang magtino pagdating sa mga babae, anak. Bakit ba hindi mo kayang makuntento sa isa?" my mother asked with a knotted forehead. "Manang-mana ka talaga sa mga Vergara. Sana lang ay hindi mo pagsisihan 'tong mga ginagawa mo ngayon 'pag dating ng araw," she added. "Sumasakit ang ulo ko sa'yo," pahabol n'ya pa. 

Cleo Saskia Vergara is still, no doubt, a goddess even in her early fifties. She can be mistaken to be my sister rather than my mother. Even being a mother of four and a domesticated woman, she hasn't lose her grace and elegance. 

I smiled at my mother then hugged her. I love being sweet with her. She's the most important woman in my life. 

"Nanay, hindi ko naman po pinaghirapan ang ganitong katawan para lang sa isang babae. Don't you think it's unfair to give a taste of me on a single woman, then deny the others?" I grinned. 

Nanay smacked me at the back of my head. She glared at me then she walked towards my cupboards. She started checking my supplies then listed down things on her small notepad. 

Nanay's constantly visiting me then she'll check everything on my crib. The next day she'll be back, she got the stocks I lack, restore my cupboards and fridge, and have maids with her to clean my unit. 

I am twenty six, but still spoiled with mother's affection and tender loving care. 

"H'wag ka sanang karmahin, Skipper," she shook her head then clicked her tongue.

I went behind her then had my arms wrapped on her. I placed my head on her shoulder. 

"Nauna na 'yong karma ko," I murmured. I sounded so bitter that I could taste it on my mouth. 

Nanay turned then she hugged me back. I felt her gentle palm rubbing my back. 

"You have to move on, anak. It's been years," Nanay gentle said. "You have to pick yourself up and be a better person for the next woman you'll love. Ayusin mo ang sarili mo para naman hindi ka manliit kapag dumating na 'yong para sa'yo."

I heaved out a heavy sigh. I don't think that I'll ever be in love again. I was wrecked beyond repair. All my dreams and visions about the beauty of being in a relationship has been crushed by the woman I loved with everything I got. 

I forced a smile off my lips. I don't wanna worry my mother over things like this. 

"There won't be anyone coming, 'Nay. And if ever she really comes, she has to love me despite everything wrong with me. Like what you did with Tatay. You love him in spite of flaws and hardship," I smiled at her.

My faced crunched when I saw pity on her eyes. She got the most expressive pair of eyes, and it's always easy to read her. It's a wonder how she became an actress on her younger days. 

"Stop giving me that face, Nanay. I am just enjoying myself," I wiggled my brows to further convince her. 

She sighed. "I don't know, Skipper. I want to slap that bitch for turning you into this kind of monster," she said in an irritated tone. She even rolled her eyes.

I smiled in spite of the pain I felt right through my chest. My mother knows what to say to hurt me. 

"Woman wants a monster in bed. Mas masarap kapag mas wild," I winked at her.

My mother rolled her eyes then tapped her pen on my forehead.

"You're hopeless," she groaned.
