When Playboy Meets The Odd

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

SAGE

I woke up from the sound of the door bell. Tinignan ko ang orasan and it's already 10 a.m. I immediately rise from the bed.

Is it him?

I opened the door of my unit. Bumungad sa akin si Mommy na may bitbit na isang paper bag.

She looked at me confused. "Are you expecting someone?" Aniya. I shooked ny head and opened the door widely.

I can't believe I am now expecting for him.

"I am just shocked that you're here." Mom glance at me with her usual poker face. Dumiretso siya sa living room at pinasadahan ng tingin ang kabuuan ng unit ko.

"It's already clean." Puri niya.

"Uh, I cleaned it." Kaagad akong pumunta sa refrigerator to prepare some foods. I don't have any idea that she will come here now. Hindi lubos maisip na dadalawin niya ako. This is the first time she came into my home. She never visited me on my previous dorm before.

"You didn't text me Mommy. I should have prepared something-"

"No. Don't bother. Hindi ako magtatagal." Putol nito. I stopped opening the refrigerator.

She put the paper bag on my coffee table. "It's for you." She said coldly.

I gave her a look of hesitation before walking towards the paper bag. It's a small white backpack. Sa brand pa lang nito alam ko nang maraming pera ang nilaan ni Mommy dito.

Sabagay, she have billions of money now. Barya na lang ito.

I took the bag out from the paper bag. It looks majestic. I have a lot of bags, but this is my first time to have a signature one.

"Thank you Mommy. It's beautiful." I said honestly.

She cleared her throat. I thought she will greet me happy birthday. "I have to go." Aniya. My smile immediately vanished.

"It's good that you clean your unit. I don't think I can send you the maids anymore. Please learn things by yourself. I'll go now." Anito at walang pang-aalinlangan akong iniwan.

I heard the door of my unit closed. Ni hindi man lang siya nagtagal dito. She didn't greet me happy birthday, again. Kahit pa bukas pa talaga ang birthday ko. It's not like she will greet me tomorrow too and she's never present in any of my birthdays anyway.

Seems like my Mom is also not happy about my birth or at least the day someone took me.

I put the bag back in the paper bag. Well, at least I have this bag. Makuntento ka na sa signature bag na to, Sage.

I washed my face and do my daily routine. I ate my breakfast. I am not sure if I should do my vacuum. I want to give Antonio some work.

I mean, if he'll come.

Bumuntong hininga ako. Hindi pa siya tapos sa dare, right? So he will come?

I tried to convince myself that Antonio will come soon so I continue doing my tasks without cleaning my unit.

I suddenly remember him and that girl yesterday. Is that his ex? Tss.

I left a few dishes on the sink. Iniwan ko ang mga balat ng chichirya ko sa counter table. My floor is dusty again and I let my bedsheets grumbled. Hindi ko rin inayos ang mga throw pillow ko na nagkalat. I haven't clean my bathroom for days now so I will tell him to clean that today too.

I sat down the sofa. What if he didn't come? Ako rin ang maglilinis ng mga ito kung ganun.

The thought of him not coming make my heart hurt a bit. Bakit ganito? Why am I hurting? Am I starting to like-
