What is love?

Chapter 4

It was all a blur whatever happened to my birthday was fun sobrang fun kaso nasobrahan ata dahil wala akong matandaan ang naalala ko nalang ay "welcome, welcome sa best birthday ever mo" sabi ni Evan nang makadating ako sa dock paakyat sa yacht then yun na paunang shot jaeger then di ko na alam. Basta pagka gising, ay di pa pala ako gising

"Hmmmm, hmmm" sabi ko habang may sumisipa sa akin "ano ba" patuloy padin pagsipa "sinabihan na kita Richard na kung aasta kang ganyan sa bahay ko eh mabuti nang lumayas ka nalang" sabi ni dad with his deep argumentative voice na sa korte lang niya ginagamit. "Ay hi dad good morning" bigla akong upo sa kama pero nahilo ako so I was holding my forehead "where were you yesterday?" Tanong niya

"I was on a yacht with my friends dad" sabi ko habang naglalakad papunta sa banyo "and" "and ano" sabi ni dad "yun na yun dad I don't know what happened anymore" I said while washing my face "eh sira ulo ka pala" boom hinampas ako ni dad sa bare back ko "arayyyy" sabi ko may nang mapasubsob ako na may sabon pa sa mukha "why?" i genuinely asked "anong why ka diyan your mom and I actually we were all waiting for you sa sofitel, remember?" "Oh shit oo nga" sabi ko "sorry dad, SORRY" sabi ko habang sinusundan siya palabas ng banyo.

"Alam mo Richard I wasn't expecting too much, yung ma late ka nang 1 oras kahit 2 okay pa eh. Pero yung di ka sumulpot that's way too low even for you" said dad while he was looking at me at umiiling " dad I'm sorry na shock kasi ako sa inabot sakin ni tito Greg kaya ayan nakalimutan ko yung bash ko" I said looking really guilty "alam mo di ko na alam gagawin sayo" sabi ni dad palabas na sa room ko

"I'll make it up to you" "ilan besses mo na sinabi yan Richard, mahirap na umasa and paniwalaan" he said as he walked away. "Bwisit bwisit bwisit" sabi ko sa sarili ko habang hinahampas ulo "bakit ba naman kasi ako nilasing nila Evan"

I called evan "dude dad's so mad kasi di ako naka attend sa bday party ko sa sofitel" "ha?" Bangag na sagot nito sakin "sabi ko nagalit si dad sakin" "nako pre labas na ako diyan all I did was give you an unforgettable birthday" sabi niya na alam kong nakangiti ito "besides Agnes was there" "she was?" Laking gulat ko nagbibihis na ako para bumaba "oo nga nawala pa nga kayo together eh" sabi niya "weh" sigaw ko naman. "Oh Rich sino ba yan kausap mo?" Mom asked and peered from the garden "si Evan lang po" "ahhh tell him nagtatampo ako sakanya dahil sakanila di ka nakasama samin" sabi ni mom na narining naman ni Evan "nako deliks na pala ako bro tell tita sorry and bye na baka kausapin pa ako niyan" "oh sige bro bye"

Richard went to his mom and gave her a kiss "mom wag ka na magtampo I already told dad na baabwi ako sainyo" sabi ko while my arm is resting on her shoulders "anak kasi you're not getting any younger" "i know ma" i said nang malambing kay mommy my first love "asan ba si dad?" Tanong ko habang lumilingat lingat "ayon umalis na he went to the firm kasi your tito and Von went to the airport to fetch Dawn" she said while tending the plants nanaman "ay ngayon pala uwi ni Dawn no" sabi ko while looking at out garden "yes and later we will go to their house para salubungin siya" "nako ma kung ganon tago na ako baka ipakasal agad kami" "Richard, di kita pinalaking quitter and you said you'll make up to me and your dad" sabi ni ma while glaring at me

Hinawi ko ang buhok ko "okay okay sige I'll be there mag motor lang ako to let out some stress" sabi ko naman dahil nakalimutan ko nang may ganitong usapan eh pero since babalik na si Dawn wala nang takas to. Ano na kaya itsura niya I asked myself while riding my motorcycle.

Some chapters may be longer or shorter than the others I can't seem to find the perfect balance.
