Today is the day ✨
In the soft white-golden light of the new special day, the hues of my bedroom move from impressionist pastels to brilliant pop art because the light passes through my window. The piercing and annoying sound of my alarm clock brought me back from the dead of sleep. I started to wriggle and stretch within my cozy, warm, haven that is my bed as a sign of lazy waking up.
#TodayIsTheDay
I hurriedly went to our kitchen, the cozy welcoming kitchen had been lovingly created by my hands with full of love. The kitchens were the hues of the light upon a cloud, of the kinds of creams and greys that soothed. And so the blues of dishes and the rich browns well cared for woods became as welcome musical notes upon our core.
Pouring the beaten eggs into a pan, Ate Beth put two slices of cheese into the eggs and with the heat up she started scrambling them, it looks delectable and delicious. After cooking cheesy eggs, I immediately start cooking pancake that is not that perfect and a mushroom soap for hungover removal.
I ask Ate Beth to taste the food that I prepared for my parents. Like the cheesy egg that I made, her eyes suddenly lit up in adoration of what she had a taste.
"Iha, ang sarap ng soup na gawa mo." Hindi ko alam kung totoo ang sinasabi ni Ate Beth dahil baka sinabi niya lang para hindi ako ma-discourage o totoo?
"Louisa, halika nga rito at tikman mo ang luto ni Ma'am Cindy," tawag pansin ni Ate Beth kay Ate Louisa na ngayon ay nagmamartsa na papuntang kusina.
I wonder, kung bakit ganito ang paglalakad ni Ate Louisa. Mukhang na-abala na naman ata sila ni Ate Beth. Kawawang Ate Louisa, hindi makadiskarte kay Kuya Simon.
"Ano na naman po ba iyon, Ate Beth?" nagmamaktol na sabi ni Ate Louisa sa harap ni Ate Beth dahil sa pagka-dismaya.
"Nako, tigil-tigilan mo na kasi iyang si Simon. Kailanman, hindi ka niya mamahalin," bitter na wika ni Ate Beth.
"Bitter ka lang, kasi tumandang dalaga. Hindi kasi blooming!" pang-aasar ni Ate Louisa pabalik. Tila nainis si Ate Beth sa sinabi ni Ate Louisa, maaaring biro lamang ito ngunit iba pa rin ang dating.
"Hephephep, tama na po. Ate Louisa, pasensiya na po kung na abala ko kayo, pero maaari n'yo po bang tikman ang soup na ginawa ko? Ibibigay ko po sana kayla Mommy at Daddy pantanggal ng hungover," magalang na wika ko rito.
Mukhang kung hindi pa ako sisingit ay talaga namang magkakainitan itong si Ate Beth at Ate Louisa. Tila isang aso't pusa kung sila'y mag-away ngunit sila'y sing-tamis ng kendi kapag nagkabati. When Ate Beth's forehead furrowed, a line appeared between her brows. Furious look registered to Ate Beth's face result for Ate Louisa to be frantic.
Seconds later, I saw Ate Louisa do what Ate Beth's order. It means, may nanalo na.
"Oo nga, Ma'am Cindy. Napakasarap!" her eyes twinkled and look at me full of admiration.
"O, siya mamaya ka na diyan at baka maubos mo iyan," pagpipigil ni Ate Beth kay Ate Louisa.
"Ate Beth, p'wede ko po bang kunin ang mga porselanang plato at mangkok sa may lagayan?" pagpapaalam ko kay Ate Beth. Baka kasi mamaya ay hindi pala pu-puwede dahil ayaw ni Mommy.
