I woke up from my extremely good sleep ng matandaan ko mga nangyari sa bataan and her kiss kahit sa cheeks ko lang last night. Tumayo ako and nagkunayring nag babasketball "3 points for RICCCHAARD GOMEZZZ, waaah waaaah" sabi ko habang ginagaya at kumakaway kunyari sa crowd pero natapos imagination ko nang biglang "bihis ka punta tayo sa office" sabi ni dad nagulat ako kasi walang nag lnock kaya napahawak ako sa heart k "dad gogood morning" sabi ko naka ngiti "you heard me diba?" He said seriously "yes, i did" sabi ko "ok get going then" "ok sir" sabi ko pa joke dahil isasara naman na niya door "maayos na damit Richard ha" pahabol niya at tuluyan ng sinarado ang pinto ginagaya gaya ko pa si dad habang nag shoshower
He told me to dress nicely so I wore a polo shirt then jeans with sneakers tapos bumaba na ako "good morning anak, kain na" sabi ni mom habang si dad nag babasa diaryo "sure mom I'll make coffee lang" kiniss ko si mom sa cheeks. Umupo nadin ako after maka gawa coffee "where are we going dad?" Sabi ko at binaba niya ang diaryo "sa office" "sa office?,why?" "Wag na madami tanong Richard buti nalang maaga ka ginising you spared me from an extra chore" sabi ni dad "nako Frank di naman chore ang pag gising kay Rich no kasi isang tapik mo lang gising na" sabi naman ni mommy "parang sayo lang yun hon" sabi ni dad na nagpatuloy magbasa. "Pabayaan mo na yang dad mo Richard basta alam ko mabilis ka magising" sabi sakin ni mom na nakangiti and I smiled too kasi she's my number one fan kahit na sobrang messed up ko kaya I love her so much for that.
Di ko alam na sasama pala si mommy samin ni dad papunta sa office niya but I'm glad she did at least I don't need to talk to dad sa car kaya nakinig nalang ako ng music. We went to dad's office and pgpasok nmin nagulat ako andon sila Dawn, tito Greg, and tita Corazon "oh you're here na pala" bati ni tito Greg we all gave each other beso and binulong ko kay Dawn "ano to?" And she just shrugged we all sat down on different two parallel benches.
"Oh bakit andito tayo lahat?" Tanong ni mom "kasi Amalia we all have a contract to oversee" sabi ni dad while patting her back "a....anong contract?" Tita Cora asked while looking confused "contract para sa marriage nilang dalawa" sabi naman ni Tito Greg while gesturing towards me and Dawn. I looked at Dawn and I can clearly see she's as confused as I am "pa bakit may contract pa?" She asked tito "well sa toto lang Dawn and Richard you're both getting married as a strategic move" dad said "anong strategic move?!" I stood up and asked but mom tried to hold me down.
DAWN
"Did you know about this mom?" Tanong ni Richard kay tita Amalia na di makatingin sakanya "tita ikaw po ba?" Mama won't answer din "Dawn?" Di ako nakasagot agad because I felt like the world is closing in on me feeling ko I was trapped "so tama si Tine" is all I said "huh?!" Asked Richard "I said Tine was right this was all planned para sa politics, tama ba?" I said while looking at each and everyone of them "are we some kind of puppets na you can just control?" I asked I am so mad yet so calm "anak no it's not like that" mama said while caressing my back
"So what is this exactly tita?" Richard said still fuming mad "this... this is" i can mama's eyes pleasing for help "yes this is for politics" papa said with his head down "anong meron sa tanginang politics?" Sabi ni Richard "RICHARD MIGUEL HINDI KITA PANALAKI NG GANYAN" sabi ni tito Frank ng palapit sakanya "yes dad kasi si mom nagpalaki saakin" he retorted right to his father's face. The tension in the room was extreme tinalikuran ni tito sa Richard at bigla itong humarap tilang sasapakin ng biglang binigilan ni papa "huwag Frank, this is already messy as it is" sabi ni pa
