Best Part of Me

17

He stopped the car infront of our house but I was shocked when I saw two cars parked outside.

Damn. It was my Mom and Dad's car.

"Thank you for today, Ash." I said while we're still inside his car.

"Yeah." he answered. Sabay kaming bumaba sa kotse niya.

God knows how happy I was today.

"Ingat ka." Tumango lang siya sa akin.

"I'll go now." Pumasok na siya sa kotse niya, kumaway ako sa kanya bago siya tuluyang makaalis.

"Well, well, well." My heart almost jumped out of my chest when I heard my mom's voice behind me.

Fuck.

"Let's talk inside." She said in her most dangerous tone. I was so fucking nervous but I followed her inside.

As soon as I stepped my feet inside, isang malakas na sampal ang dumapo sa pisngi ko.

"Tita!" I was shocked when I saw Jordan behind my mom, and he was with my dad. Jonas also came with them.

"Have you seen that?! You skipped your school for some random guy?! Are you stupid!" she shouted at me.

"He's not a random guy, he's Ryker Ashton." I defended, but I received another slap from her. Jordan pulled me away and my Dad pulled my mom away.

"Sinasagot mo ko?!" She shouted.

"Tita, he is our blockmate. May ginawa lang siguro silang school project." Jordan defended me. But no, I don't want them to expect anything from me anymore.

"I like him. No, I love him mom. Kung may gusto man akong pakasalan, siya yun. I'm your daughter, why can't you just be happy for me!" Kita ko kung paano sila matigilan sa sinabi ko.

"You're such a disgrace! Stupid!!" She pushed my Dad and ran towards me, she suddenly grabbed my hair and continued slapping me. Jordan pulled me hard and hugged me tight to protect me from my mom. I was crying really loud. I hugged Jordan back because I was afraid of her, I burried my face on his chest.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry but this is too much. Can't we talk calmly?" Saad ni Jordan.

"NO! Sumosobra na yang babaeng yan! She skipped her class for a guy, despite of the fact na she will get married soon!" She shouted.

"Marga!" Napatingin ako sa kanila ng biglang sumigaw si Dad. My eyes widen at napanganga ako sa nakita ko. I saw my mom lying on the floor, unconscious.

"Mom." I whispered.

"Jonas! Prepare the car!" My dad shouted while panicking. I don't know what to do, Jordan let go of me and helped my dad to carry my mom.

I gather my strength and run after them. Oh my God, it was my fault.

"Hey, everything's going to be fine." Jordan comforted me. We were waiting for my mom outside the emergency room. My Dad was sitting beside me but he never talked. I don't know if he was angry at me, but I bet he is.

Lumabas ang doctor sa emergency room kaya mabilis kaming tumayo.

"How's my wife?" My dad asked.

"She's stable now, Mr. Adisson. She had sa mild heart attack but she will recover soon. We'll transfer her at her room." Tumango si dad at sumunod sa doctor. I was left with Jordan, I don't know where Jonas went.

"You need to rest, I'll take you home." Umiling ako sa kanya.

"I'm going to wait for her to wake up." Sagot ko. He sighed and nodded.
