You are What My Heart Desires

Chapter 11

BEA'S POV

"Isabel Beatriz!", a voice from the foot of my bed was heard.

I opened my eyes and let my eyes adjust to the light, just to see my mom standing there waiting for me to get up from my bed.

"Mom?", I replied, rubbing my eyes as the sun was piercing through the already-opened blinds.

"Bakit di ka pumasok today?", my mom said, with obvious disappointment on her face.

"Huh?"

I was honestly quite surprised with her question, as I did not know a single thing that she was talking about.

I had woken up with a severe hangover. Head throbbing in pain, vision doubling, and soreness was felt all over my body.

"What time is it, Ma?", I asked trying to get a sense of what was going on.

"Three O' Clock, darling."

As she said this, I immediately screamed "What!" , at the same time, quickly getting up from the comfort of my oh-so-comfy bed.

"Oh my goodness, Beatriz", my mom interrupted my walk to the bathroom, "Why didn't you change? Ang basa ng likod mo, magkakasakit ka.", she continued while getting a towel from my chest of drawers.

While mom was drying my back, I decided to speak up and actually tell my mom what is going on;

"Sorry Ma...I think I drank too much yesterday that I was not able to wake up for school today and, my phone is also lowbat, that's why I had no alarm to wake me up. I will go to school na lang."

I heard a loud sigh coming from my mother - as expected.

"Hay nako Bea... you know naman it's a school day, the next day, then marami kang ininom. You know better than that, Beatriz."

I did not say anything else afterwards as my head and body was just in complete pain. Probably a combination of hangover, and muscle pain from the game that happened yesterday.

"Who brought you home? Tita Irene said Kat slept over with Ponggay."

Who did bring me home? And, not just that, what happened last night when I was drinking? All these thoughts start to rummage through my head as my mom was still wiping my back.

I was so curious at the same time confused to what came down last night.

The door swung open which caused the both of us to turn our attention to its direction.

"Oh Det! Diyan ka lang pala!... Bea? Hindi ka pumasok?", my dad chimed into the conversation, as he came in the room.

"Elmer...itong Anak mo...uminom kahapon sa party, at lowbat pa phone niya kaya yon hindi na siya nakagising." , my mom replied to my dad's question.

The Daddy's Girl part of me came in and all I can do is just smile at my dad. Just as if I was guilty, but in reality, not really.

Sorry not Sorry.

My dad did the same and smiled at me in response.

"Hayaan mo na iyan si Bea, Det. She just came from a game and a whole lot of vigorous trainings this month. Let her enjoy and rest for today. Besides, alam naman natin na she will be graduating soon, and her grades are pretty high. She deserves it."

Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring.

"Ma...I think someone is calling you."

As I said this, my mom proceeded to finish wiping my back and went out of the room to attend to the call.
