"Thanks guys! I'll see you on monday!"I shouted drunkenly just as soon as I jumped out of the car. They all cheered and drove off, leaving me all alone.
Ito na ang buhay ko ever since I was 10 years old. Not the patrying part but the living alone. My parents are staying in the philippines while I basically stay here in the states, alone. I can't deny though, I am a rebel. I go to parties almost every night and get wasted. Naging parte na ito ng buhay ko.
I released a sigh and went inside, stumbling on my way upto the elevator. Kinapa ko ang susi ko sa bag habang ramdam ko na ang antok kong unti unti na akong kinakain.
"Damn it!"I cursed in frustration.
Finally, nakuha ko na ito at agad na binuksan ang unit ko. I hurriedly run towards the sofa and slump on it, throwing my bag on the side.
"Do you know what time is it asher?"I heard someone spoke, waking the sh*t out of me. Inangat ko ang ulo ko mula sa pagkakahiga at tiningnan kung sino iyon, laking gulat ko nalang ng makita ko ang mommy ko, standing infront of me with her hands on her hips.
Of course hindi ko ipapakita na masaya ako na andito sya so I did what I always do when they visit me once a year dito sa states.
"Why mom? Is your watch not working? You want me to buy you a new one?"Tanong ko sakanya at saka ay humiga ulit na para bang walang pakialam.
"Asher sana naman one day mag tigil kana jan sa gawain mo! You're ruining your future!"She said angrily.
How dare her to say those words?
"Well, that's yours and dad's job right? To secure my future?"Sagot ko. I know I'm being really immature and bastos but what the hell, she can't just come barging in my unit and act like a real mother to me! If she really wants that, edi sana nagstay sya dito kasama ako!
Nakatalikod ako kaya hindi ko makita ang expression nya but I know that she's really mad. I can feel her gazed burning into my skin but I didn't look at her. Huminga ako ng malalim at naglakad papunta sa kwarto ko, without looking at her then I slammed the door and jumped in my bed.
My parents are the most successful business man in Asia. Both of them. I can't deny though, I am a fan kung working hard ang pag uusapan. They are both pretty successful as individual and partners in business but never as parents.
They are terrible! They left me here in New york when I was 10 sa tita ko. She has been my mom ever since but she died when I was 15 and ang akala ko noon, kahit isa man lang kina mom and dad e pupunta para alagaan ako but nope. They never did. Instead, kumuha sila ng katulong na magbabantay sakin. Mula noon, nagrebelde na ako.
Napilitang umalis yung katulong na hinire ng mommy ko for me dahil na din sa ugali ko. I became a total b*tch. My mom tried to hire another one but sabi ko hindi rin yun magtatagal and that I can take care of my self so they let me.
Mabibilang mo lang sa daliri mo kung ilang beses silang bumisita sakin. 10 times maybe, in 10 years. Parents goals right? Just nice! Every first in my life, I faced them alone since wala naman akong magulang na madadamayan. Binibigay naman nila lahat sakin but may isang part padin ng puso ko na naghahanap ng kalinga at pagmamahal ng magulang. That one I can't deny.
All I wanted to know is if they can let their business go and just be a parent to me. Its not that I want them to gave up their work, I just want to know kung pipiliin man lang ba nila ako than their business... I guess not.
