"Good Morning Olivia, have a nice weekend!"  

Unang text message na nareceive ko ngayong Sabado. Consistent si Travis sa pagsend ng mga good morning, good night messages medyo consistent din ako sa pag reply kahit papano.

"Thank you T, same to you! x"

Pagkatapos ko mag-reply ay agad na akong bumagon upang uminom ng isang basong tubig. Yes. Morning routine after I wake up, one glass of warm water.

Pagkatapos ay nagtungo na ako sa banyo upang maligo, para tuluyan ng magising.

Nag-ring bigla ang aking phone pagkatapos ko magbihis, agad ko itong sinagot.

"Hello?" 

"Hi Liv, good morning!" masiyahing bati ni Travis sa kabilang linya.

"Hi T, good morning din. What's up? tanong ko habang bumaba ng hagdan.

"Nothing really, just wanna know if you can come with me to the mall today?" wika niya.

"The mall? Why?" nagtataka kong sagot. Bibihira mag-aya si Travis sa mall, laging cafe or parks.

"Just gonna buy some outfits for your party." sagot niya.

"Kakabili lang namin nina Steph kahapon--" pinutol niya ako.

"You know what, it's okay. Don't bother I'm stupid for asking you, it's fine I can manage." bakas sa tono niyang ang pagkakadismaya.

"No, it's okay really. I can go with you. No biggie." bawi ko.

"Are you sure?" malambing niyang tanong.

"Yes I'm sure." mariin kong sagot.

"Okay, so I'll pick you up after lunch?" ani niya.

"Yep that's good." wika ko at umupo na sa hapag upang kumain kami nina Mommy.

"Okay see you later!" masayang paalam ni Travis.

"See you." at binaba ko na ang telepono.

"Who was that?" bungad ni Mommy.

"Travis, nagpapasama sa mall para daw bumili ng outfit niya sa party." sagot ko naman.

"That's nice. Be nice Olivia..." banta niya.

"Mommy I'm always nice.." asar ko sa kanya at nakita ko nanaman ang legendary look niya tuwing naiinis na siya.

"Opo, I'll be nice." I reassured her. Her stare went towards the bacon in front of her.

"Okay, so after your date with Travis, go home agad because we will be finalizing the invitations."

"Mommy, invitations really? Am I turning eighteen? And it's not a date. I'm just gonna help him find an outfit." reklamo ko.

"It can still be a date, and yes ganoon ako ka-seryoso sa pag-organize ng party mo. I've been doing this since the day you were born, hindi ka pa ba sanay?" punto niya at agad kinagat ang bacon.

"I know my, pero please can it still be intimate. Just the family, my friends and no more." lambing ko.

"Friends meaning, the whole college of journalism?" duda niya.

"NO Mommy, I don't even know half of the people I see in the building. Friends meaning, Steph, Chloe and Shaina." ngiti ko.

"Three only? Oh plus Travis of course." at kinindatan ako ni Mommy.
