Song: I Can't Be Mad- Nathan Sykes
Message
"Mom!" sa gulat ko ay napabitaw ako kay Axel.
I stood up and faced my angry mother. Nagpabalik-balik ang tingin niya sa amin ni Axel. She looked so disappointed with me. Nakita ko iyon nang ibinalik niya ang tingin sa akin.
"Sinasabi ko na nga ba..." aniya sa isang mababang boses. Umiling siya. "I knew that something's going on between you two!"
At talaga bang iniwan niya ang dinner para lang sundan ako at mahuli kami? She's been eyeing me for a while now. Kaya niya siguro napapansin ang lahat ng ikinikilos ko ay dahil lagi siyang nagmamasid.
At isa pa, bakit ba ganyan ang reaksyon niya? As if what I'm doing is a mortal sin!
"Mom, it's not what you think!" I said desperately.
"It's not what I think?! He's forcing you to give yourself to him at ikaw naman 'tong mabilis bumigay!"
My mouth parted because of that. Kumunot ang noo ko at bahagyang natawa. I turn to look at Axel. Nakayuko lang kanyang ulo at nanatiling tahimik. I don't want him to think that this is his fault. Walang dapat sisihin dito.
If he's always protecting me from danger, then I'm going to protect him from my mother's words.
"He's not forcing me to do anything, Mom! What makes you say that? You are so quick to judge! You weren't even here when all this started."
"Sa tingin mo hindi ko napapansin ang ikinikilos mo ha, Aria? You are clearly into this guy! Ano nalang ang sasabihin ng mga tao kapag nalaman nila ang tungkol dito?"
And that's her number one concern? Oh, right! I live in a country where there are a lot of judgemental people! Hindi na nakakagulat na mas inuuna niya pang isipin ang kung anong sasabihin nila. She's afraid that this might ruin our image.
Hindi ko na napigilan pa na matawa. Umiling ako at hindi makapaniwala siyang tiningnan.
"As if what we're doing is going to be the country's downfall?! Ano naman sa kanila? Hindi naman masama ang ginagawa namin, wala naman kaming inaapakang tao... I don't see anything wrong with this, Mom!"
Umiling siya. Hindi parin makapaniwala na ipinagtatanggol ko si Axel. She was about to say something when my father already entered the scene.
Oh, great! Another family feud in the middle of the independence day dinner party! Did they seriously leave their guests behind for this?
"What's happening here?" kalmadong tinanong ni Daddy.
He's with his bodyguards. Bakas sa mukha nila ang pagkabigla nang makita na kasali si Axel dito. He hasn't spoken anything ever since my mother caught us. I feel like he feels bad that this happened.
