Chapter Twenty-One
Crazy

My mother is incredibly busy with the upcoming event. Isang linggo na lang ang bibilangin ay annual event na. She's been busy for a month since she's very hands on to the preparations.

Ang annual event na ito ay laging hino-host ng Ynarez. It's a charity fund-raising event. Sinasabay iyon lagi sa anniversary ng parents ko para mas maging special ang event. Matagal na itong inaasikaso ni Mommy pero ngayon lang siya mas naging busy dahil nagkakaroon na ng final preparations. Nagsisilabasan na rin ang mga problema na kailangan ayusin at lagyan ng solusyon.

I try to help my mom in every way I can. If I wasn't busy with my upcoming preliminary exam, I would have helped her full time pero laging nakatapat ang exams namin a few days bago ang anniversary kaya hindi ako makatulong.

"What's wrong with the final menu that we decided on?" hindi pa ako tuluyang nakakababa ay narinig ko agad si Mommy na may kausap. Rinig sa boses niya ang pagod. May katulong naman si mommy sa pag-ayos ng event since malaking event ball iyon pero mas gusto niya na siya mismo umaasikaso ng mga problema.

"Morning, my." bati ko kay Mommy. She gave me a tired smile and I tried to smile for her even though I wanted to sigh.

"I'm going to visit the restaurant before lunch and maybe we could discuss about this better when we're face to face." umupo na ako sa usual seat ko at tahimik na naglagay ng bacon at sunny side up sa plato ko. Hindi naman ako nagmamadali ngayong araw dahil dadalhin ko ang sariling sasakyan ko at maaga pa naman.

"Okay. Bye." my mother dropped her phone on the table and sighed. She leaned back on her chair, rubbing her temples.

"Tell me again why I made this an annual event." bahagyang napatawa ako sa reklamo ni Mommy.

"Because you want your anniversaries to be special and meaningful."

Mommy let out a happy sigh and smiled. "Right."

My mother is very passionate when it comes to our family's charities. We sponsor a lot of schools and orphanage. Mahilig tumulong si Mommy, lalo na sa mga bata na nangangailangan.

"What are your plans for today?" tanong ni Mommy sa akin at sinimulan ko naman lagyan ng pagkain ang plate sa harapan ko.

"I have two exams later. Both major subjects."

"Oh, yeah. I forgot about your prelims. Good luck on your exams, honey."

My mind was busy the whole day that I almost forgot about the fight I had with Rush. Kung hindi ko pa siya makikita sa cafe na pinuntahan namin ni Kade para ubusin ang vacant time namin ay talagang hindi siya papasok sa isip ko. It was odd for him to be in the same cafe though. Matagal na kaming pumupunta ni Kade dito pero ngayon ko lang siya nakitang pumunta.

I want to call it a total coincidence, but I"m not that naive. And I might not be as mean as before, but I'm still as narcissist and self-absorbed. Galit sa akin si Rush pero alam ko na gusto niya pa rin ako makita. Napapangiti ako doon dahil katulad ko ay gusto ko rin naman siyang makita. I just want to make amends with him, but I'm pre-occupied with school and I'm still waiting for the perfect time.

"You and Rush still not okay?" inalis ko ang tingin kay Rush na abala sa pagbubuhat ng weights mula sa may di kalayuan at ibinalik iyon sa katabi kong si Kade.
