AFTER 10 YEARS

"Hey, wake up. Doon mo na ituloy yang tulog mo sa kwarto mo. Hindi ka pa nakain. Lets eat first?" Naramdaman kong may natapik sa'kin.

"Hayy. Nakatulog nanaman ako dito sa sala. Now, I missed the show I want to watch. Okay, mommy. Lets eat first." Sa sobrang pagod ko, nakatulog na ako. Kung hindi lang ako ginising ni mommy malamang, bukas na gising ko. Right timing, I'm hungry already.

Me and mommy stood up and walk towards the kitchen. "Napaka workaholic mo na kasi masyado, anak. Why don't you have fun while working? Don't take life seriously baka tumanda ka na niyan. Hahaha. Hang out with your friends, be updated in social networks and go to the mall and buy things you want." Ang sabi ni mommy habang nag hahain ng pag kain. Pang ilan na nga ba siya sa nag sabi sa'kin niyan? I think she's the 20th person already.

"Mom, I'm no longer a kid. I need to focus with my career for my future. May right time naman to enjoy life but for now, all I want to do is to be focused with my work. That's all." Ang paliwanag ko.

"I know. I'm not telling you to be unfocused with your career. I'm just saying that you should have fun with your life like you used to. You change a lot and I know these changes of yours is for the better of your future but what bother me is I don't remember the last time you laugh and smile anymore. Palagi kang stress at pagod. If may problema ka, don't solve it with another problem. Yeah, you love your job but you still have a choice where you can find happiness without stress and it's your family and friends. Don't get me wrong anak ha? Hindi naman ako nanghihimasok sa buhay mo I just want you to be happy pero if masaya ka naman talaga hindi ko lang makita then, I'm sorry. I just want you to know what I feel." Ang explain ni mommy. Wow, she really cares.

"It's okay mom. I understand you but I'm not in the mood to talk about it right now. Maybe, some other time? Let's talk about that?" Ayoko naman mag paka-rude kay mom. So, I decided to be honest and calm.

"Okay, honey. I'm so sorry." Mommy is so nice. Greatest mom ever.

I reach her hands.. "No mom. It's okay. It's nothing." ..and smile.

"Thank you baby. Anyway, meron palang Dan Eric's Ice cream, pizza, cake, lasagna and liquor. Want to chill?" Napaka bagets ni mommy talaga. Hmm.. a little chill wont hurt so I nodded. "Wow. I never thought you'll join me. Thanks honey. I'm kind a bored too." Siya lang kasi ang nag iisang tao sa bahay. If I was in her spot, for sure I'll be out of my mind.

"Well... let's just say it's been a month since the last time we hangout and I realized how much I missed you. Tara mom sa rooftop." Ang sabi ko. Just by having a little chill with her makes me realize that I've been really through a lot of things already. I can't believe that I'm this strong.

"Hmm. So how's everything wth you and Laxies?" She said as we reach the rooftop.

"Everything is good between us, mom." At nag sip ako ng liquor.

"Good. Have any plans already?" What kind of plan?

"Plans? About what?" I took one scoop of Dan Eric's Ice cream. This ice cream is beyond bliss. Mas gusto ko pa siya compare sa mga branded na ice cream.

"About getting married?" Ang sabi ni mommy na nakapag pabuga sakin ng ice cream. "Oh my God. What happen to you, sweetie?" Ang dugtong niya.

"Haha. I'm fine mom." Ang sabi ko habang pinupunasan ng tissue ang bibig ko. "I was just shock by that word of yours. Wala pa sa isip ko ang kasal. Hindi pa ako ready. I'm too young to be a mother and I think I can't be as great as you and I'm scared that my future child might hate me because of that." As I continued. Wow. Didn't see that coming! Expect the unexpected talaga.
