Staring at the Sun [COMPLETED]

Chapter 15

"Hindi ba parang ang bilis niyo naman yata Lor." Solene looks so concerned after I told her everything about our island hopping.

Maaga akong pumasok pagbalik ng semester at siya ang inabuhatan ko sa room. My other friends are still not around.

"Hindi naman! We just celebrated our first monthsary na nga eh." masaya kong sambit.

He gave me flowers on our first month. We also went to bondi&bourke for our dinner date. T'was really romantic with all the live piano music pa!

Hindi kami yung tipong nagfiflex sa isa't isa sa social media ni Syverth. Kaya laking gulat ko noong bumaha ng hate messages sa kin pagkauwi from Samal.

'Katkat girl!'

'Mukhang pera!'

'Mangga!'

"What's mangga?" taka kong tanong matapos basahin ang isang twitter thread tungkol sa akin. May mga stolen pics pa namin roon ni Syverth.

"Manggagamit." Ira said.

"Wow! Mga punyetang inggit sa life! Hanap kasi kayo ng boyfriend na kaya kayong bigyan ng Dior!" naiinis talaga ako lalo na pagnasasali si Syverth sa mga issue sa akin.

Dikitin talaga ako ng mga ganyan halos lahat nalang nang napapalapit sa akin na issue! Even my friends are used to that anymore.

"Ma, magpunta kaming Manila ni Syverth this next weekend." pagpaalam ko kay mama. I still can't believe na ipapakilala niya ako sa family niya!

"Anong gagawin niyo 'ron?" she's so busy with the computer works she's doing. It's Sunday and she's still working kaya sometimes I worry for her health.

"Uhm. He'll introduce me to his parents." maingat kong pagpaalam.

Alam kong hindi ganoon kahigpit si mama baka lang hindi niya ako payagan since mejo malayo ang Manila. Pero sayang naman kasi!

Napahinto siya at napataas ang kilay sa akin. Oh no! Don't tell me ma.

"If he want's to marry you now hindi ako papayag." she snapped.

Namilog ang mata ko sa bigla niyang sinabi. Yun talagang inisip niya huh!

"What? No! Ma ipapakilala niya lang ako bilang girlfriend niya ma. We're not getting married yet." I laughed.

She looked calm now unlike kanina na parang ang strikta niyang tingnan.
She massaged her temples and tapped her side. She wanted me to go sit on her lap. Awww.

"My baby is big na. Please stop growing Loren." malungkot niya akong niyakap.

"Ma, I won't leave you okey? And I am still 17! Kahit pa magpakasal na ako bukas hindi kita iiwan." I chuckled.

I hugged her and carresed her back. Totoo yun kahit siguro mag asawa na ako hindi ko iiwan si mama. She's all I've got.

"Okey, just promise me na uuwi ka ha. And tell Syverth to come here I need to talk to him."

"Of course! Thanks ma!" masaya ko siyang niyakap.

Hindi talaga mahirap pakiusapan si mama. As long as magpapaalam ako sa kanya at hindi naman kabulastugan ang gagawin ko papayagan niya ako. 'Yan din ang dahilan kung bakit hindi ako marunong magsinungaling.

It's Friday today at bukas na ang flight namin ni Syverth to Manila. We'll stay there for just two days only. Uuwi rin kami ng Sunday night since may pasok pa ako. He already talk to mama. I laughed when he shared what they were talking.
