INFATUATED

Chapter 14

"Mom, what would I do in U.S?" kunot noo kong tanong. Ibinaba niya ang wine glass na hawak at nanlilisik ang matang tumingin sa'kin.

"You need to see your Cousins, also your Aunt Rica! Tutulungan ka nilang maghanap ng trabaho doon after you Graduate." lumaylay ang balikat ko at sumandal sa upuan ng sabihin niya 'yon.

I don't want to be there, being with to my 'flirty' cousins. Yes, there has a perfect Animation Buildings, Office, and whatever. But, hell no, I'd rather die than being with them.

"Mom, ayoko nga. 'Wag mo na akong kulitin." naka-nguso kong sabi, bumuntong hininga siya at tumayo.

"Fine, fine!" sumusukong sabi niya, napangiti ako at umiling.

"Thanks, Mommy." nakangiti kong sabi sa kaniya. She just rolled her eyes and adjust her brallet. I frowned when she puckered her lips on the air and waved her right hand like she's on the pageant.

"What are you doing, Mom?" I asked, little bit annoyed. She look at me and smiled widely.

"Shut up, Pam. These are my stress reliever." she said, rolling her eyes. I groaned, did she change her stress reliever?

Last year, her stress reliever are modeling at the edge of the pool. And now, Modeling? Shit, lang.

"Mom, can you please, stop doing a childish stuffs? What the hell is wrong with you?" I asked with my brows furrowed. The side of her lips rose up and gave me an deadpan look.

"Don't be kill joy, Pamela. Shut up and watch me, gagawin mo din 'to kapag lumagpas na sa kalendaryo ang edad mo."

"No way!"

"Yes way, I'll teach you how." Mom wiggled her eyebrows. I rolled my eyes and took the chocolate bread on the center.

She busy waving her hands when the doorbell rang.

"Mom, I think you have a visitors." pagtawag ko sa kaniya, natigilan naman siya sa paglakad-lakad at tumingin sa hangin.

"Mom?" patanong kong tawag ng mukhang tensyonado siya.

"Oh, they're here!" kaagad siyang huminto at nag-ayos ng sarili habang patakbong pumunta sa pinto.

Tumayo na rin ako at sinundan siya sa sala, nag-stay lang ako sa likuran ni Mommy hanggang sa buksan niya ang pinto.

My eyesight automatically glued on the familiar man who's standing behind with the two couple. I catch my own breath as my eyes became widened when I saw him clearly.

"C-Ciel..." I whispered to the air.

"Oh, here's my baby boy! Hi Ace!" nanlaki ang mata ko ng sabihin 'yon ni Mommy, kaagad siyang tumakbo palapit kay Ciel at niyakap 'yon. He just nod at hugged my Mom back.

"Felly, this is your daughter? It's her?" my gazes turns into the man who's pointing me. He has a cheeky smile like Iciel, my Mom nod while walking into my side and clung into my Arms.

"Yes, yes! This is my lovely daughter, Pamela. Let's go, come in, come in." pag-aaya ni Mommy sa kanila. I look at Ciel, then our eyes met, he didn't look shock, he seems calm.

Bakit gano'n? Bakit sila nandito? Anong mayroon?

Hinila ako ni Mommy papunta sa Sala, I'm still confused. Did Ciel knows my Mom?

"Selma, is dinner are ready!?" Mom shouted, Aling Selma immediately popped out.

"Yes, Ma'am." she answered, Mom smiled to us.

"C'mon, let's eat dinner!" I let my Mom dragged me onto the Kitchen. I'm still confused, I look at the lady, Probably, Iciel's Mother. She looks so Strict. Napaka-taray ng mukha at awra, sa tingin ko, sa kaniya nagmana si Ikiel na mukhang laging Badtrip ang itsura.
