"Amorette, sweetheart, are you awake? Breakfast is ready. Your dad and I are waiting for you downstairs."
"Coming, mom! Just gonna fix myself first." I lazily replied, eyes still closed as I stepped out of my bed. I was looking for my phone to message Cyprien when it rang. The person I was about to message just called. My lips curved into a smile as soon as I read 'Heart' on the screen.
"Good morning, heart! Did I ruined your sleep? Hmm?" a deep baritone voice filled my ears as I heard the voice of my most favorite person. I smiled with his question. I can assure that he just woke up and the first thing he did is to call me. Sweet.
"Good morning, heart! Not really. Mom just woke me up and I was about to message you." I said while combing my long wavy-hair using my hands. Narinig ko ang malalim na pag-hinga niya.
"I'm sorry, I can't accompany you today. You know, mom wants us to spend time with the family every day before the first day of classes." mahinhin akong natawa habang nakikinig sa kaniya.
"I understand, heart. I understand, tita. I will request the same thing to my children when that day comes." I said. Totoong naiintindihan ko. Since school days na, magiging busy na kaming mga anak para sa pag-aaral specifically students like us who are already in college. Tita just wanted to spend more time with her family before they get busy. Napuno ng katahimikan kaya sinilip ko kung nasa kabilang linya pa ba siya at nakita ko namang konektado pa ang linya.
"Heart, still there?"
"H-huh? Y-yes. You mean, children?" kumunot ang aking noo sa kaniyang sinabi kaya binalikan ko ang huli naming pinag-usapan.
"Yes, children. I mean, not now but in the future though."
"With me?" I heard him gasped and smiled after. This guy.
"Of course, with you."
"I'd love that too."
I hung up the phone after talking with Cyprien. He's my boyfriend and we've been together for 3 years since we were on our 2nd year in college. He's a man that ever girl could wish for. Of course, he's flawed but he is worth it and I couldn't ask for more.
I walked towards the bathroom inside my room to wash myself and do my daily routine. I wore a simple white T-shirt with a 'Stand Alone' text on it. It's Sunday and I'm planning to go to the mall today to buy some stuff I'll be needing for my class. Tomorrow is the first day of classes so I need to be prepared. Actually, naka-bili na ako ng nga ballpen at notebooks at iba pang school stuff na kailangan, 'yong libro na lang.
I went downstairs as soon as I finished fixing myself. I just brought my wallet and my phone with me and a customized handkerchief with a 'Quinn Amorette' text on it. I walked to the dining area and saw my loving mother serving my father a breakfast and a coffee. I walked towards my father to kiss his cheeks and my mother after.
"Good morning, mom! Good morning, dad!"
"Good morning, sweetheart!" they replied in unison. My mom prepared for my plate. I was smiling all along as I watch my mom taking care of me and my dad. She's always like this. Serving us when we can even serve ourselves. She said, she wanted to do all of these as long as she still have the strength to do so and we just let her be. Daddy and I love being taken care of by her anyways.
"Where are you going today, sweetheart?" naka-upo si daddy sa kabisera habang nasa kanang upuan nya si mommy at nasa kanang upuan naman ako. I'm only child that's why we have a small family. Dalawang katulong at isang driver lang din ang kasama namin dito.
I looked at my father before answering him.
"Mall, dad. Just going to buy a book." sagot ko bago isubo ang hotdog at kanin sa kutsara. Nag-luto lang si mommy ng itlog, hotdog, bacon at sinangag na kanin. Usual breakfast.
