The Bet

As I open my eyes from my deep slumber, my girly decorated room greeted me. A combination of pink and purple wall, a pink queen size bed, a pink pillows and blankets, a purple cushion; Everything in my room is all about pink and purple. I yawn. I'm still sleepy but I have a morning class so I better get up and do my morning routines. Halos dalawang oras ako bago matapos mula sa pagligo, pagpili ng masusoot at pag-apply ng kolorote sa mukha.

Pababa na ako ng hagdan ngayon wearing a weird fashion. Actually, it's not that weird for those geeks, but for me and for my pretty devil friends it's what we called alien fashion. Nakasuot ako ngayon ng checkered na long sleeve matched with faded pants. May fake eyeglasses din akong suot. Nakalugay ang mahaba kong buhok na sadyang  ipanatuwid ko kahapin sa isang parlor. Kung magtatanong kayo kung bakit ganito ang ayos ko ay dahil sa natalo ako sa isang bet. 

I saw my mom na inaayos ang necktie ng daddy ko mismong pagbaba ko ng hagdan.

"Good morning!" bati ko. Napalingon sila sa akin with their weird look. Si mommy wearing her anong-klaseng-fashion-look yan. While my dad is ikaw-ba-yan-look? I chuckled at their reactions.

"O, anong nangyari sa Nixsha fashion? Ba't parang nawala yong salitang fashion?" mom teased.

"Right. And take note, I'm gonna wear this kind of fashion for the whole week." sabi ko while rolling my eyes.

"Don't worry baby. You still look so hot in that outfit." mom said.

"Mas okay nga yan Nixsha nang hindi naman masyadong dumami ang magpadala dito ng kung anu-anong bagay just to make you notice them." komento naman ng aking ama.

"Pretty girls' problem, daddy." biro ko sa kanya. My mom chuckled.

"Sa bagay, pogi naman ang daddy mo." sagot niya. Nagkatinginan kami ni mommy at tumawa.

"Wow dad. Humangin ata bigla. Di ba mom?"

"Oo nga baby. Tayo na nga baka matangay pa tayo." Dagdag pang aalaska ng mom ko.

"Pinagtutulungan niyo naman akong mag-ina. Yaya!" kunwaring sumbong ni daddy.

"Ew dad. Ang laki mo na para magsumbong." sabi ko habang natatawa.

"Oo nga daddy." Sabi ni mommy na nakangiti na ngayon.

"Malay niyo baka umubra pa." Biro niyang sabi.

We are always like that. Pagtutulungan namin si daddy pero hindi naman siya pumapatol sa pang-aalaska namin. I am an only child. Kaya naman nakukuha ko lahat ng gusto ko. Actually kahit naman hindi ko hingin ang isang bagay binibigay na nila. But there is always a limitation. 

They showed me that not just material things can make a person happy. They always give time to each other and especially to me even though they were both busy with their work. And I'm so lucky to have parents like them, especially to have a dad who is so understanding. Nakakasabay siya sa amin ni mommy about those fashion stuffs. Kahit medyo may pagka-conservative siya he always appreciates my outfit even sometimes it is quiet showy. He always bid goodnight to me before I go to sleep until now.

Nauna ng umalis yung parents ko. Ihahatid sana nila ako pero tumanggi na ako. And besides magkaiba 'yong way namin. I am heading to the garage right now, only to be shocked ng makita ang sasakyang nakaparada katabi ng aking sasakyan.
