Meir's POV
Earphones up. I laid my back in the most comfortable way. It was such a stressful and tiring day.
" Are we going back directly to the Mansion, Sir Meir ?" My personal driver, Manong Willie said, a Filipino. I nod my head as a sign of saying yes. I looked at my bag, searching for a delicacy which Roi gave me, it was called Suman. Manong Willie looked at me as I stare at every single detail. He said, " Oh, sir. That's Suman. Have you tried it already ?"
" Actually, not yet. I don't even know how to eat it. " He humbly stopped the car and demonstrated me how to eat this. I am still like a new born child, not knowing anything. As I woke up from the hospital, my parents already booked a flight going here in the Philippines few days after that. Not knowing who am I. Or how am I supposed to act.
When I ask them, they will just tell me the same thing over and over again : It is your fault why we do not have any idea about your friends and how you interact with them. They said that I never bring any friends home rather I go with them.
I asked Manong Willie, who is serving us since I am young and still at Missouri, " Don't you have any idea about me ? Anything. "
He looked at me in the front mirror, saying " Uhmm.. as I could remember, your mom is always being called by the University's dean. You were always under a fight. Sometimes, you cut your classes. You even sleep in classes ! "
Am I that stupid ?! Seriously ? My life that time maybe that miserable. He continued, " The only friend of yours that I only knew is Ellen. No, she is not your girlfriend. She is six years older than you. She is the daughter of Mr. Nye, a bussiness partner of your parents. She is kind. But, she went on Japan for some bussiness matters and about to go back in US next month. And , that is all I know "
Meaning, she know nothing about what happened. I have learnt more than enough this day. I looked into the window. The traffic was so heavy.
I heard something coming from outside the car, " Balu~t ! Balu~t ! " Balut ? Is that the egg Mendy gave me ? Speaking of, I have still that balut on my bag. That Girl, she seems to have a pleasant life. She is easy to talk with , she do have a sense of humor. But I hate her crazy-like laugh. But I feel some fun when I am with her. Wait, let me clarify. I feel some fun when I am with THEM. Meir, don't be so specific.
" Sir, Meir, We're here."
I put the balut back into my bag, making sure it will not crack. I stare at the third floor, first window, the lights are open. My parents are here . It is unusual for me to see them as early as seven o'clock. I walked inside and saw my mom with a phone in her one ear, and a folder filled with a bunch of official papers used for our Appliance Company.
I came near to her kissing her cheeks, she seemed shocked but still continued using her phone. Yaya Mira, another Filipino housekeeper, whispered " Your mom already ate. You can either eat alone or wait for your dad which is upstairs in his room. "
"I want to eat with him,"
" Okay, I'll heat the viants. "
Is it alright to tell him what I did this day ? Corie's mom seems to care. I do not know if my father also did care. I woke up every morning without seeing them, they always come to work as early as they can. And usually, I sleep alone without saying any Good Night's. Am I really that type of person who isn't open with my parents unlike Corie and her Mom ? Am I the type of person who doesn't bond like Van (Vanilla.. male name niya yun ^.^) and his dad ?
I heard some footseteps coming from upstairs, it must be dad. " Dad ! Come on let's eat "
I arranged the chair where he supposed to sit but He rather grab the bowl of salad and said " Nope, I have to do something. " What should I expect ? He looked for Yaya Mira " Yaya, please tell Shine ( mom ni Meir ) to go check my project proposal in my room. " He stepped back into the stairs.
Wait, I haven't still tell him that I have new friends. Before he step his third step up on stairs, i said " Ah, dad I have met new friends "
His answer is very thrifty, "Good " He don't stop taking his steps.
