Dream Come True

27

Gladly, maluwag yung daan papuntang Mandaluyong kaya hindi kami nahirapan.

"Tita, this is Spade" pagpapakilala ko kay Spade kay Tita Joy.

"Spade? Hi, you look familiar" Tita Joy said.

Parehas kaming nagtaka nina Kara at Spade, saan naman kaya sila nagkita?

"Nevermind, baka imahinasyon ko lang. Tara na?" pag aaya ni Tita kaya umalis na kami.

6:40 evening ng tuluyan kaming makarating sa restaurant na pinareserve nina Daddy.

There has a long table in the center of the venue.

"Shakiara" tawag sakin ni Mommy kaya lumapit ako sakanya at hinalikan siya. Ganoon din ang ginawa ko kay Daddy, at ngumiti naman ako kay Christian.

"Co-workers, this is Tita Joy" pagpapakilala ko kay Tita Joy sa mga kasamahan namin ngayon dito.

They all looked at Tita Joy and smiled.

Nakakapagtaka lang, why Tito Jefferson staring at her?

"He- Jefferson?" hindi natuloy ni Tita Joy yung sasabihin niya ng makita si Tito Jefferson.

I saw Spade and Kara curiosity face.

"You know each other?" Kara asked.

"A-ah. Oo nak, uh... classmates" Tita Joy said and smiled.

"Really? I don't remembered you, same school din kami ni Jeff" Tita Cathy said.

"Nak, tara na sa bahay. Naghanda ako ng dinner e" biglang pag aaya ni Tita Joy.

"Tita dito na kang po kayo kumain ni Kara" sabi ko.

"Oo nga po Tita" Spade said.

Napatingin sakanya si Tita Joy pero umiwas din agad. Anong meron?

"No, we have to go" Tita Joy said, at hinatak na si Kara.

Kara smiled apologetically, I just nodded.

Weird ni Tita Joy.

Spade and I just take a seat on the occupied seats.

"Teens, where do you want to celebrate your Christmas Vacation?" Daddy asked us.

"Tito we're planning " magaling na sabi ni Spade.

Yeah, he's right. We talked about that last week. He want to celebrate Christmas in Davao.

I don't know why, I didn't even go there once.

"Oh, where?" Tita Cathy excitedly asked.

Napatingin ako kay Spade na nakahawak sa kamay ko sa ilalim ng table cloth.

Nakasanayan na namin yung isa't isa. Hindi na din ako naghesitate na pigilan yung kasal namin ni Spade, hindi naman siya mahirap pakisamahan.

Besides, I like him.

"Davao po" ako na yung sumagot.

"Really? Is it beautiful there?"

"Yes, Tita. I checked the place" Spade said.

He checked? Kailan? Bakit hindi ko alam?

"When did you checked the place?" I asked.

We're now heading to the airport. We bring his car and now he's driving.
