It Should Have Been Us (Completed)

T

Taming.

"I heard, you and Saint flew together using his own helicopter. How was it, honey? Magaling ba siyang magpalipad?"

Panimulang pang aasar ni mommy sa akin habang inaayusan ako ng make up artist since the ball is happening tonight.

"Mom. Oh please."

Pinang ikutan ko siya ng mga mata. Natigil naman siya sa pagpili ng gown na susuotin ko sa naging sagot ko.

"What?"

Tanong niya sabay lapit sa akin. Hinawakan niya ako sa magkabilang balikat sabay tingin sa salamin.

"Look, honey. When I was your age, your father took my virginity! You should too!"

Pinanlakihan ko ng mga mata si mommy. Natigil naman sa pag memake up iyong bading, mukhang nagulat din sa ibinalita ni mommy.

"What? Oh, don't give me that look, we are in the modern world where sex and drugs became a hobby. Not that I am telling you to use drugs honey. Sex is fine though. It's like drugs anyway, addicting, once you experience it, tipong hahanap hanapin mo."

Lalong nanlaki ang mga mata ko noong idugtong niya iyon. Humagikgik ang bading sabay nag apiran pa. Napatakip ako ng mukha.

"I like you already momshie! You are a cool mom."

Hagikgik ni bakla!

"I know right? Oh I remember my Troy inside of me so many times when we tried it in the forest before."

Oh God! This is so! Eww!

"Mom?!"

Humagalpak silang dalawa nung bakla!

"Oh dear. You are so innocent. I wonder how come, you're my daughter."

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya. Humagikgik lang siya sabay halik sa ulo ko.

"Kidding, honey. You know how much I love you. You are a gift to us. Your dad will kill me once he'll know what I said awhile ago."

Pilyang sabi pa niya bago bumalik sa may kama at ipinagpatuloy ang pagpili ng susuotin ko.

"I think red matches so much with your skin type honey."

Saad niya pagkatapos.

"Oh my gosh. Ang cool ng mommy mo. I really like her."

Bulong ni bakla sa akin! Napangiti na lamang ako. The gay make up artist left after he's done. How I miss nanay Jasper. Siya ang official make up artist namin simula pa kina tita Eunice. He is not around since he's now living in the States with his husband. Nakakauwi naman siya kapag may special occasions though but not really frequently this past two years.

"Mommy. I like the beige gown. Can I just choose that instead of red?"

Simple lang kasi iyong beige at hindi masyadong revealing hindi gaya noong red na kita na lahat ng kaluluwa mo. But what can I expect? My mom was a former victoria's model. I'd seen her naked in magazines internationally, at iyong magazines na iyon ay nakita ko lamang sa store room ng bahay namin since dad bought everything. Sabi niya sa akin noon, "your mom's nakedness is  for my eyes only." Sa huli nasabi ko na lamang ang "eh di wow." Natawa siya at sa sobrang tuwa niya sa reaksyon ko ay ibinili niya ako ng laptop. Ganoon matuwa ang aking ama. Kaya palaging may bagong gamit si mommy. Lagi niya kasing napapatawa si daddy. I wonder tuloy kung mahal ni mommy si daddy or pinagloloko niya lang ito. But then again, I am a product of their love and I see everyday how mom's so much in love with my father. She gave up her career for my dad. That alone is enough proof how mommy can sacrifice everything for daddy. She loves him so so so much.
