It Should Have Been Us (Completed)

I

Okay.

I am so focused on my computer when I heard a knock from my door.

"Come in."

Saad ko habang pinagpapatuloy pa din ang pagtipa sa keyboard. I need to finish my project before summer ends.

"Anak, nasa baba si Saint. Hinahanap ka."

Naiwan sa ere ang daliri ko pagkadinig sa pangalan ng hayop.!

"Urgghh. What does he needs mommy?"

Inis kong tanong habang nakatanga na sa screen ng computer.

"Aba. Malay ko. Kayo mag-usap ng jowa mo. Hala sige baba na."

Napatingin ako kay mommy. Nakangisi at nakataas ang kilay niya. Napahilamos tuliy ako sa mukha.

"Mom! I told you, he's not my boyfriend!"

Singhal kong tugon. Humalakhak lamang siya at nagkibit balikat.

"Whatever you say, honey. It will never change the fact, that we like that boy for you."

Huling sabi niya bago ako iniwang laglag panga. Wait, what? Oh God! Did mom just tell me, they like that Saint for me? Oh! God! This must be the end of the world.

"Isshh! What do you need asshole?"

Bwisit kong kausap ang sarili bago nagpasyang bumaba.

"Yes, tito, in 2 years time, I will be the CEO of Santa Leones Aeronautical Corp. My dad wants me to because he's stepping down. He said, he wants to be with my mom, to spend more time together, you know."

Napaikot ako ng mga mata sa narinig. My goodness! Yabang, ladies and gents!

"Wow. That's good to hear, hijo. How's your dad and mom anyway? I haven't seen them for a while now."

Tanong ni daddy.

"They're good po. They're actually planning to visit you next week, if I am not mistaken."

Napaangat bigla ng tingin si Saint sa direksyon ko. Maya maya ay may namuong ngisi sa kanyang labi.

"And they want to meet my girfriend, your daughter."

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya.

"Oh. Oh."

Saad ni mommy bago ngumiwi. Nakatayo siya sa likod ng sofa kung saan nakaupo si daddy.

"Get out from our house,now!"

Sumabog na ako sa sobrang inis ko sa taong ito. Nagulat pa si daddy kaya napatalon pa siya sa kinauupuan.

"My goodness, Elisha! You almost gave me a heart attack!"

Biglang saad ni daddy, hawak ang dibdib.

"Dad! Mom! Do not believe this manwhore! He's a playboy! And definitely, he isn't my boyfriend!"

Histerikal kong sabi noong tuluyan na akong makalapit sa kanila.

"Anak, really, there's no need to deny, it's totally fine. We like him for you."

Seryosong saad ni daddy na siyang nagpalaki ng mga mata ko.
