Songs of My Love (Dream Series #2)

Chapter 30

"Hindi ko alam na nalilink ka pala kay Addie." I stated.

We're on our way to meet his parents, again. Nandito na kami ngayon sa kotse n'ya at medyo traffic kaya matagal ang byahe. I was wearing the necklace his Mom gave me before since I don't have any reason to not wear it.

"The media is stressing the hell out of me because of those rumors. Tsaka, I don't even know why they're linking me with her. Bakod na bakod kaya 'yon ni Architect." He chuckled.

I also let out a laugh. "Yung poging pinsan ni Harry." Bulong ko.

"I heard that." Saway n'ya.

Tumawa na lang ako at nagcellphone. Medyo kinakabahan rin ako dahil matagal ko na ring hindi nakikita ang mga magulang n'ya. Nang maipark n'ya ang kotse sa garahe nila ay bumaba na kami at napahawak ako sa kamay n'ya.

"Hey, are you still nervous?" Takang tanong n'ya.

"Oo." Sabi ko.

"Why?"

"Ewan." Sagot ko.

"They're still nice, don't worry." He chuckled before we walked towards the door.

Akmang bubuksan na n'ya ang pinto nang biglang mag-ring ang cellphone n'ya. He answered it and I heard Addie's voice on the phone, nang matapos silang mag-usap ay nilingon n'ya ako bago binulsa ang cellphone.

"Sa club daw ni Kira mamayang 11pm." Sabi n'ya.

"Oh, okay." Sabi ko. "Tingin mo nandoon 'yung pinsan ni Harry?"

He glared at me so I let out a laugh. Seloso! Iniwas n'ya ang tingin sa akin at binuksan na ang pinto para makapasok kami. Nilibot ko naman ang paningin ko at nakitang halos ganoon pa rin ang itsura ng bahay nila. We walked towards the kitchen and I saw Tita.

"G-good evening po." I greeted.

Nilingon naman n'ya ako at parang nagulat na narito ako. Lumapit sa amin si Tita at tinignan si Caleb bago nilipat sa akin ang tingin.

"Y-you're back together?" Tanong n'ya.

Caleb smiled and nodded. Bumaba ang tingin ni Tita sa necklace na suot ko at napangiti. "I'm so happy for the both of you."

His Mom was about to say something but we heard a manly voice from the entrance of the kitchen. "Mom! I'm going now!"

I saw Clyde wearing his uniform and wearing his specs. Nagkatinginan naman kami at ngumiti s'ya. "Oh, hi, Evie!"

"Hi." I greeted him.

"You're not eating dinner here?" Tanong ni Tita.

"May duty ako, Ma." Sabi n'ya.

"Hmm, duty or date?" Sabi ni Tita. "I know you're done with your duty so why don't you join us for dinner, please?"

"Fine." Sabi ni Clyde at nauna na sa dining.

"The food will be served any minute now. Upo muna kayo sa dining." Nakangiting sabi ni Tita.

Sumunod naman kami ni Caleb at pumunta na sa dining. I nervously sat beside Caleb and looked at his mom, watching her. She looks much younger than her actual age. Nang makita kong pumasok ang Daddy n'ya sa dining area ay napatayo ako.

"D-doc Illustre..."  I panicked, I didn't know what to call him now.

"Yes?" His dad, Caleb and Clyde answered.

"I think, I'm the one she's calling." his dad chuckled. "Hello, Evie." Sabi n'ya at sinenyasan akong umupo.

Tipid naman akong ngumiti at umupo na. Bumaba ang tingin n'ya sa necklace na suot ko, I bit the insides of my cheek and held Caleb's hand. "Kayo na ulit?"
