"Mom, can you lend me your hair brush?" Robbie said while he was looking at the wall clock.
His mom looked weirdly at him. "Do you have a special visitor coming? You suddenly seems off anak." then she smiled at him. "May pinapopogian ka ba?" his mother suddenly got interested to his answer.
He brushed his hair using his fingers. "No Mom, nagdidikit dikit lang po mga buhok ko." he simply explained.
His mother walked toward him and smoothened his hair. "Hindi naman, they're still fine, but here." then she gave the hairbrush and stared at him and trying to read what's on his mind.
"Mother, don't look at me like that, wala po talaga."
Napakibit balikat si Donya Betty. "If you say so, but I smell something, you're my son, kaya kilalang kilala kita. Its been years since I saw you like this. You suddenly got worried with your looks." napapangiting sabi ng ina.
He sighed. "Mommy, wala po talaga. I'll tell you first if meron po, but mali po kayo nang iniisip"
Then he chuckled when he saw his mother disappointed face.
"Akala ko pa naman meron na, thirty one ka na anak, kailan ka pa ba mag aasawa? Okay, kahit hindi na muna ang pag aasawa, girlfriend nalang, kailan ba ha, anak?" humila ito ng upuan at naupo sa harap niya.
Napangiti siya. "Mommy, hindi pa naman po matanda ang thirty one. Look, I don't wanna rush on marrying, focus muna po ako sa business natin."
Tumayo ang ina at kinuha ang suklay sa kanya. "Robbie, you can still date and have a girlfriend. Have a little time for yourself, okay?" malambing na saad ng ina saka ito na ang nagsuklay sa kanya.
"Mom, I'm still waiting for the right girl. Pag nakita ko na po siya, promise po, hindi ko na po siya papakawalan, kaya huwag na po kayong sumimangot." she teased his mother.
Napahinto sa pagsusuklay ang kanyang ina. "Teka anak, paano kung nandyn lang pala siya pero hindi mo lang napapansin, like Miss Saavedra, she's beautiful and I like her." excited na sabi ng ina.
"Mommy talaga oh, stop it, baka marinig ka po niya. Nakakahiya." he laughed, he knew that his mother is so fond of his secretary.
Napakunot ang noo ng ina. "We're just the two of us here, paano niya maririnig?" then suddenly she nodded. "Ah, dadaan siya ngayon. Oh my, anak" tuwang tuwa na sabi ng ina.
"Mommy, please, huwag kang mag iisip." natawa siya sa itsura ng ina.
Biglang tumayo ang ina at kinuha ang bag nito. "I'll buy something muna downstairs anak." ngiting ngiti na sabi ng ina.
Napailing nalang siya, alam niya na gusto mangyari ng ina, na magka sarilinan sila ng kanyang sekretarya.
"Ikaw talaga Mommy, huwag ka pong masyadong umasa. She's just my secretary."
Napahinto sa paglalakad ang ina palabas ng silid at muling humarap sa kanya. "For now, she's just your secretary, but maybe next year she's already your wife." masayang sabi ng ina.
"Mommy..." saway niya sa ina.
"Ah basta, ligawan mo na si Miss Saavedra, okay? Sige, alis muna ako para makapag usap kayo." tuwang tuwa na sabi ng ina at mabilis na lumabas ng kanyang silid.
He didn't understand why he has this lump building up in his stomach. He felt so excited that he knew Marge is dropping by.
He continue to brushed his hair, then he also checked his breath. His breath still smell nice but he needs to make sure kaya naman he slowly tried to get out on his bed. Kailangan niya maka pag toothbrush bago dumating ang sekretarya.
