Yawn~Morning, finally maganda ang sikat ng araw ngayon. Maulan nalang these past few days kaya di ako makagala with my bestfriend.Ay oo nga pala kailangan ko na maghanda ngayon kasi sabi ni mom may pupuntahan kami. I don't know where, sabi nya lang.
Her words are absolute. Di ko kayang suwayin siya while dad naman is gentle towards me kaya mas magaan ang loob ko kay dad and he's easy to be approached kung may problem ako.. while mom is opposite, she's perfectionist and everything should be in order.
Naglakad na ako papuntang banyo and does my morning rituals.. after nun, I dried my hair using a blower when my mom knocked on the door."Come in."
"Hija? Are you done yet? We will be meeting someone in lunch. Prepare yourself para di tayo malate." She said and kissed my forehead kahit strikta si mom kapag goodmood siya sobrang bait nya at marunong maglambing..
She left my room and I picked my favorite casual dress.. Lumabas na ako ng kwarto ko and walked down to our staircase.Dad was standing near the stairs as if waiting for someone."Good morning sunshine!" Dad kissed my cheek to greet me."Goodmorning too Dad, Bakit wala kayo sa work nyo ngayon?" I kissed his cheek in return as I arched my brow.
"I'm just happy today, nak. Ihahatid ko kayo ng mommy mo." He said while a wide smile plastered on his face.
Okay? This is so weird na talaga. Madalas sila di magkasundo ni mom in almost everything but why not?Mukhang may tinatago sila sakin, but of course kung tatanongin ko di parin sasabihin nila. Sigh.--Kumain na ako for breakfast, sumakit pa tyan ko kasi napasobra ng maple syrup sa pancakes ko, after nun I checked my garden, yes po may garden ako tinuruan ako ni mom mag gardening.. It took me almost half a year para matutununan ko lahat and buti nalang talaga di umusok ang ilong ng mom ko nung I accidentally picked one of her favorite flowers.Around 10:30am ay umalis na kami ng bahay then si papa lang madaldal sa sa kotse while mom just nod her head and magsasalita lang kung kailangan, they were just talking about their business, and sometimes dad cracked a joke at kahit medyo corny napapangiti ako secretly..And tumigil ang kotse ni dad sa.. restaurant?Restaurant? May imemeet ba sila mom at dad dito na client nila? Bat kailangan ko pa sumama?
"Fleya, wag kang tumunganga jan, umupo kana dito.." Mom said then pointed at the chair.
"O-Opo." I don't get it.
"Mom? Bat kasama ako? Sino ba imemeet ny--" di ko na matapos sasabihin ko nung bigla tumayo si dad para igreet yung lalaki na kasing tanda nya probably around 40's may bigote at nagwawax ata sa sobrang dikit ng buhok nya sa ulo nya.
"Katsuji! Kumusta? How's States? teka, maupo ka muna." Sabi ni Dad."Ito, maayos naman pati ang negosyo ko, kayo ni Georgia?" Tanong nya habang nakatingin samin. His eyes landed mine. "Oh? Sino pala tong magandang dalaga? Anak nyo ba to ni Georgia?" He asked again and smiled at me."Ohh nga pala, ito ang anak ko si Airu," sabi nya ulit sabay hila nung lalaki sa likod nya.
"Maupo ka nak." Dagdag nya pa.
Oh wait? Anak nya pala? Akala ko isang waiter ng restaurant, bat di siya umupo?
"Pft--" I almost choked at my own saliva dahil sa thoughts ko, yeah gwapo naman siya.. pero mas gwapo siya kung maging waiter nalang siya.
The black Haired guy just glared at me. "Airu magpakilala ka sa mga bisita natin" he patted his son's back."I'm Airu Scott Haikawa, Yuroshiku onegaishimasu," he bowed his head feeling ko may glitters buhok nya medyo flashy eh.Mom eyed me to introduce myself next.
"Uhm.. Ashfleya Mai Herbert, n-nice to meet you.." I bowed my head as I felt my cheeks flustered I didn't know it took so much energy just by introducing yourself in front of the adults..
My mom smiled at them and clapped her hands."Now let's get straight to the point. Pag usapan na natin ang arranged marriage while we eat our lunch shall we?" She said while her smile still didn't fade.
"What?!" Me and Airu said in unison, ARRANGED MARRIAGE?!
"MOM! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? BAKIT ARRANGED MARRIAGE? AYAW KO PA MAGPAKASAL! NAGIGING MAHIRAP NA BA TAYO KAYA BINUBUGAW MO NA AKO SA IBA?!" I became hysterical of the thought. "Bakit sa yang lalaki mo pa ako ipapakasal!?" I pointed at Airu with wide eyes.
"Mom! Tatapusin ko naman yung pag-a--" di ko na natapos when my mom pinched my cheeks so much until I winced in pain.
"Whether you like it or not, magpapakasal ka parin. Kakabulhin kita if you did something to your future groom, pag uusapan na natin to if tapos kana sa college. Alright, hon?" She smiled creepily parang maiiyak na rin ako dahil sa sakit.
Ang ganda ganda ng araw ko tapos sisirain lang ng pamilya ko para sa walang kwentang arrange marriage!
