Have Fun

"Dad, don't creep the hell out of Seven, alright?" Paalala ko kay Dad pagkababa namin ng kotse.

Today is the day na magsasama sila ni Seven buong araw. At ako naman ay sasama kay Tita Sandy. We will exchange lives for a day. Malalaman talaga niya kung gaano kastressful na kasama si Dad. Pareho lang sila ni Principal, hindi nauubusan ng kwento.

Speaking of Principal, nasan na kaya yun? Umalis na naman ba? I never saw him these past few days. Bahala. As long as wala siyang gawin na kalokohan, he's fine to do everything he wants.

"Nandito na pala kayo." Tita Sandy welcomed us to her cafe. "Seven! Bumaba kana dito!" Sigaw naman ni Tita doon sa stairs.

"I'm here. You don't need to shout Mom." Sabi ni Seven at bumaba na mula sa second floor.

"So we'll get going? Enjoy your day girls!" Sabi ni Dad sa amin at hinila niya palabas si Seven.

"Is my son going to be okay?" Natatawang tanong ni Tita Sandy sakin.

"I'm afraid not, Tita." Nagtawanan naman kami. "So how's your day Tita?"

"As usual. Ganito ba talaga kaformal yung pagsasalita mo?" She curiously asked me.

"Nasanay na rin siguro Tita. Buong buhay ko palagi akong may kausap na business partner ni Dad. I was exposed to the business society ever since I was young." Kwento ko.

I was trained to be professional as always. There might be a time na yung kausap mo ngayon ay makikilala mo balang araw. Gaya rin naman ng sinabi ko, first expression lasts hindi ba? Baka may makausap akong business partner pala ni Dad na hindi ko alam. It would be a big failure on my part kung hindi naging maganda yung impression niya sakin.

"Ang lungkot mo siguro 'no. Your father is always outside the country." Nginitian ko siya.

"Hindi naman. I have two childhood friends, palagi silang nandoon sa amin. Besides, whenever my father is home wala siyang sinasayang na oras. I'm always at home." Binigyan ako ni Tita ng isang juice.

"You're always at home? Hindi ka ha nag-aaral?"

"I was homeschooled. Natatakot si Dad na sa isang paaralan ako mag-aral at a young age, lalo na dahil hindi siya palaging nandito para bantayan ako." He's so overprotective.

Naaalala ko pang kailangan kong mag-sama ng dalawang katulong namin para makipaglaro kinia Frey at Dash sa park. Grabe rin yung pag-alala niya noong nadapa ako habang papunta kami sa isang mall. Sinasabi pa niya sa doktor kung kailangan kong magpa-opera!

"Alam ko yung takot na nararamdaman ng ama mo. He raised you alone. Besides you're his only child. Ganun talaga ang pag-alala niya sayo lalong-lalo na't babae ka." Sabi ni Tita.

"Eh si Seven, Tita? How was it raising him alone?" Uminom muna siya ng kanyang juice bago niya sinagot yung tanong ko.

"Believe me when I say that he's too mature for his age. Ang bata pa niya noon pero palagi niyang kinukuha yung mga ginagawa kong gawaing bahay. He would always wash the dishes, clean the house, he even tried doing laundry!"

Kudos to him! Hindi ko nga alam kung paanong mag-luto ng egg!

I never set foot inside the kitchen, hindi ako pinapayagan na mag-luto dahil may mga taong gagawa naman daw sakin yun.
