Alas singko ng hapon ko naihatid si audrey sa kanila matapos kaming magsawa sa kalalaro dun sa mall. But audrey insisted na mag stay muna ako dito sa kanila kasi sasamahan ko raw siyang mag movie marathon.
"What does the future look like," Audrey curiously asked when we finished watching tomorrowland. I didn't pay attention to the movie kasi inaantok na talaga ako.
"I don't know." I said yawning. Nilalabanan ko lang yung antok ko dahil gusto kong nakikinig sa boses ni audrey.
"Isn't it cool you'll gonna know the exact time of your death and the cause of it." Salita pa nito. "I think its cool."
"That wasn't cool for me tho," pagsalungat ko dito.
"Bakit naman hindi?" Nakataas ang isang kilay na tumingin ito sakin.
"Can we just not talk about death." Ayokong ipush ni isabella yung ganyang topic. Nagiging sinsitibo ako pagtungkol sa paksang ganyan. Bigla ko kasing naalala ang parents ko, they died in accident. But I'm not gonna deny it's pretty cool to know kung kailan ka mawawala at kong anong magiging dahilan nito. Maybe you can avoid death if you'll know. Pero knowing na malalaman mo kung kailan mawawala yung mga taong mahal mo is just-- i don't know, at wala ka man lang magawa para pigilin ito.
"Hey, I'm sorry."
"It's okay aud."
"I'm really sorry." Lumapit ito at yumakap sakin. She become so clingy these past weeks, I'm not complaining tho. I like it that she grew comfort with me, just like when were younger. I'm so glad na unti unti na kaming bumabalik sa dati.
"It's okay," i hugged her back. "Future." Mahinang sambit ko at napatango tango. "Ano ba gusto mo paglaki?" Tanong ko kay audrey.
"I actually wanted to be doctor." Naka ngiting wika nito.
"Hmm so pag dodoktor yung kukunin mong kurso pagka college?"
"Nope." Nawala yung ngiti sa labi niya.
"Why? Akala ko ba gusto mo maging doktor, bakit hindi?"
"My mom wanted me to get something you know, relative to business and stuff."
"Hmm for me naman, i wanted to be a successful businessman." Or woman.
I want to be like my lolo. Magaling magpatakbo negosyo.
"Bagay yun sayo dahil magaling ka sa math." Sabi pa nito.
"Do you want to have kids in the future?" Napa isip naman ako sa tanong ni audrey. Kids? I'm just eighteen and i don't even know if i like kids. Iyakin yung mga bata tsaka ang kukulit. Audrey's already a handful pano pa kaya yung mga bata na ayaw magpa hindi?!
"No." Sagot ko sa kanya.
She raised her eyebrow. "Why?"
"Basta. Eh ikaw do you want kids in the future?"
"Yup." Mabilis nitong sagot. "Maybe two or three." She said daydreaming. "I like a girl and a boy or maybe two girls and a boy and i want to live malapit sa may dagat, i like ocean."
"Taray, may plano na." Biglang nawala yung antok ko. Nakaplano na talaga ahahaha.
"Yeah and you'll gonna be their ninang."
"Ha ninang ka diyan," Naiiling na sabi ko.
"Edi ninong nalang."
"Hay ewan ko sayo." Napatawa ako sa kanya.
"Atleast may gusto akong maging future ko! Kesa sayo puro ka games masisira mata mo diyan!"
"Audrey audrey audrey may naiisip kaya ako sa future ko. Grabe ka talaga sakin."
"Don't you really want to have a child?" Tanong niya ulit. Hay kulit.
"Hindi ko alam atsaka i don't wanna get pregnant." I cringed at the thought of me being pregnant. My god that will never happen!
"Maybe you find a wife soon and she's the one who's gonna carry your child."
Napatingin ako sa kanya sa sinabi niya. "You think i will find a wife in the future? Eh wala nga gusto mag stay sakin eh."
"Yeah."
And also, i want to her to be my wife.
Naiisip ko bigla yung mga pinag usapan namin. Audrey and i married. Tapos siya yung mag dadala sa tatlo naming anak, two girls and a boy. Then malapit sa beach yung bahay namin. Isang masayang Pamilya yung naiisip ko kasama si audrey.
Hay forest asa ka pa!
