Mama and Jordi were talking for more than thirty minutes already. Lumabas sila para magkaroon ng privacy, leaving me all alone in the room.
Mich and Nat came back from their snack break turned lunch date. Antagal kasi nila bumalik.
"Nasaan 'yung jowa mo?" Mich asked at umupo sa couch.
"Hala siya! Hindi ko pa siya jowa, 'no? And, for your information, I won't ever call him my jowa. I prefer the term kasintahan," I said proudly.
It's not that much of a big deal but I think it just sounds better when you call your partner kasintahan rather than your jowa. Preference lang.
"Dami mong arte! Pero ayun nga, nasaan si JM?" Si Nat naman 'yung nagtanong.
"He's with my mom... manliligaw stuff, apparently." I said in a chill tone.
"Ano?! Manliligaw? Kailan pa?" Questions came in one after another. They were giving me a headache.
"Jordi asked Mama if he could court me officially. Kinakabahan nga ako, e. It's already been an hour!" I exclaimed.
"Approve na si tita diyan! Malakas si Jordi, e. Siya pa ba," Mich assured me.
"Baka nagkekwentuhan lang sila. Don't overthink it. He'll be fine," Nat was assuring me.
"Speak of the devil..." I said as they entered the hospital room. Jordi had a plain face on. Hala! Kinakabahan tuloy ako.
"This young man right here has been given the chance to court my daughter. But if you ever try to hurt her, you already know the consequences."
Scary naman ni Mama. I wonder what she told him tuloy.
"Anyway, I'll head out to Kuya Arman's room. You take care. Jordi, 'yung anak ko, ha?" Mama said as she walked out the door.
"Phew! That was intense. Akala ko kung anong nangyari," sabi ni Nat. Jordi was still silent, pero nasa tabi na niya ako.
"Sana all!" Sigaw ni Mich. Napailing nalang kaming lahat.
I faced Jordi and asked him if he was okay. He said he felt nervous when he went out with Mama but everything turned out fine. He never mentioned to me about the "consequences" my mom told him about.
"Since buhay ka naman at nandito naman 'yung love of my life mo, aalis na kami. Mag-mamall kami! Tara na, sis." Ani Mich.
"Ano? Momol? Hala! Bata pa 'ko, ate, huwag po," asar ni Nat sa kanya.
"Tanga! Punta tayong ATC. Hanap ako papi." Ayan na naman siya. "Bye, mars! See you sa LB!"
Natawa nalang ako sa kanilang dalawa hanggang sa kaming dalawa nalang ni Jordi 'yung nasa kwarto.
"I never asked you if I could court you so... pwede ba akong manligaw sayo?"
"Hala! Putangina! Oo, it's a yes for me! Argh, I hate you, Ignacio. I'm tearing up already." I said while fanning my face. Nag-Tagalog si Jordi! Bihira mangyari 'yon. Grabe 'yung kilig ko, ma!
He was laughing at my state. Hinampas ko siya tuloy. "O sige, babawiin ko 'yung sinabi ko," I threatened him. I think he was already used to my threats. Hindi naman sila totoo, e.
"Alright, alright. I stopped already. Don't worry, you're still cute even when you cry. My little crybaby!" He cooed while pinching my cheeks.
