Poblacion Solevedes

Chapter 2

I enjoy putting my things in my room. In the corner , in the walls, ceiling and windows. Hindi ko na hinanap sina mom and dad, i decided nalang na ayusin ang kwarto ko. I ask manangs to help me na iakyat ang mga luggages ko sa room cause it so heavy. Halos tatlo pa kaming nagtulong tulong. Even nung papaalis palang ako sa condo ko sa states nagpatulong lang ako nun.

I really want to finish my room this day, para mapayapa na ang tulog ko at makapunta na ako sa hospital para maka pasa ng mga requirements ko. Manang flor and others want to help me but i insisted that i can. So here i am sweating all over my body. I swipe the dust for the last time and look around in my entire room. I smile as i am satisfied of what the result after my whole day working. After this i really need a peaceful rest. Haysst. Napatingin ako sa bed ko it is covered with white sheets with a purple pillows and purple blanket. I really want to sleep. Umiling ako sa naisip ko. No, not now khaye. I ready myself and go downstairs. It's already 5:00 pm and until now wala parin sina mom. Bumaba ako kaninang tanghali para kumain, at akala ko darating sila pero hindi. I am worried. I check my phone and the signal is just one bar. I tried to call mom,but it's unattended. I texted her...

I go straight to the kitchen and only to see manang flor and other maids preparing some food for dinner.

" Hi, manangs. " i greeted them and sit at the high chair." Anong oras ba usually umuuwi sina dad? "

" Maya-maya nandyan na siguro sila Ma'am. Ani po kasi ngayon sa prutasan ninyo. " Si manang elda na naghihiwa ng mga gulay

" Eh bat hindi manlang nila ako sinama? " I almost whispered it as i watch my phone kung may txt ba si mom.

" Maiinip kalang dun Ma'am. Masyadong mainit at wala manlang signal dun. " Si Sally na naghuhugas ng pinggan at mas bata ito saakin ng 3 taon.

" Masyado naman kayong pormal. Wag nyo na akong tawaging Ma'am. Do i look like as mom? "

" Eh boss naman po kayo namin. "
Sabat naman ni manang let

" Bahala nga kayo dyan. " i laugh as i go out the kitchen and stay in the living room.

I lay down at the sofa and connect my phone in our wifi. Hayyss. Im so bored now and also tired. I used to hangout with my cousins and friends back then and go home late at night. But i am not a naughty girl who's with boys and making some adult staffs... I value my dignity.

I open my ig account and post a picture of me while at the airport.
It's late but i don't care. I click the post and a seconds later my friends commented on it. Just like 'stay safe' 'enjoy your trip' Takecare ' and i just reply with a heart. My cousin Caroline also commented

I message Leigh in my fb account
And after that i watch some videos in youtube until i heard a car outside. I stand and go near the window, a familiar car stop the door way. I go and open the door and as the person step outside the car i hug her.

" Why didn't you tell me that you will go home late? "

" We're sorry we tell manang flor that we will go to our farm. You were asleep pa kasi. Kaya umalis na kami. " she hug me back i just hummed in reply. Kumalas ako sa yakap namin at si dad naman ang niyakap.

" Next time sama ako" i then pouted as i look at him up and he just pinch my cheeks.

" Okay tomorrow. But before that we'll come with you in the hospital to pass your requirements and visit our farm "

" Okay. " We go inside while i was hugging him tight.. My dad is half filipino and British, my mom is pure filipina. I got my dad beauty pero were both not have a pure British beauty.

After naming kumain i went to my parents room and lay in their bed. Dad is busy on his laptop but at the same time nakikisali samin ni mom while we're talking about random staff.

" Do you have a boyfriend?" i look at my dad with my brow up, i look like wicked

" No, i don't intertain guys courting me. " i said in a bored tone

" Why, balak mo bang tumandang dalaga? " my mom while caressing my hair i hug her as we lay in their bed

" Hindi naman. I just find them not attractive. " as i remember guys whos been courting me

" And darling. If you have someone that you like, care to tell us alright? " my dad and i feel him behind me lay down and kiss my head " Your the only one we have and we want to protect you in any guys who wants to hurt you. But at the same time, gusto rin namin mag kaapo ng mommy mo. As they say we're not getting younger na. We have white hair na, so you better search a man who love you like how i love your mom." and dad hug me. I change my position i am looking straight now at the ceiling and they are beside me.

I sighed " I am afraid dad. That i will find a man not like you. Loving, caring and kind. You are my idealman dad. And i doubt if there's a man just like you. What if i found who will hurt me at the end. I am afraid dad." i want to cry but, why would i?

He hold my hand and kiss it.
" Don't be darling we're here for you and they said if you're not hurt it's not love. Love is not perfect it's involve a lot of sacrifices. So if you truly love the man you want you are ready to those circumstances will happened as long you are together. "

" Thanks for that dad. But no worries hindi ako tatandang dalaga. Bata pa naman ako, im just 28. I want to enjoy my life before settling down. " i hug him

" When i was 25 im pregnant to you darling " mom and hug me from behind.

" So do you want me to be pregnant narin? "

" Ofcourse not. With out father? "
My dad laughed as he said it, mom also laughed

I tap his tummy

" Wag naman dad, gusto ko complete family just like us. And i have a dream guy naman noh. " i said and imagining a physical appearance of a guy that i want

" Someone who has six pack abs? Strong Muscles? " my mom laughed strongly

" Kind of.. " i also laughed " And a tan skined, also taller than me. Hmmm? 5'10" is okay cause i'm 5'3". And of course handsome just like my dad"
Kinikilig kong sabi at hinawakan ang pisngi ni daddy.

We laugh of what i said. I am really thankful to have this kind of family. And i wish to have this on my own in the future. An understanding one and respectful, loving, kind also. With a lot of beautiful and handsome children. Not a lot,just 3 i think.
