TASY's POV
I was getting ready, dahil makikilala ko na ngayon ang Papa ni Macsimo. Months of dating him, hindi ko pa nakakausap o nakikita man lang sa personal ang Papa niya.
Macsimo said he's always busy, and when i asked about his mother, he said she died giving birth to him.
I felt bad for him but he said no, kaya tumango na lang ako at hindi na muli nag tanong.
I wore my black 3 inch shoes and went outside my room. Sinalubong ako ni Macsimo sa sala na kausap pala ni Mama.
Manang's not here, nagpunta siya sa probinsiya niya para doon mag celebrate ng New year. Mama's ready to go, mukhang hinihintay lang ako umalis.
"Anastasia, I'll go na, okay? Happy New year" Mama held my cheek, tumango ako sa kaniya at binati rin siya. Sabay-sabay kaming lumabas at tinanaw namin si Mama na umalis bago kami sumakay ni Macsimo sa sasakyan niya.
"My car's okay na, pwede mo na akong wag sunduin." Sabi ko sa kaniya. He glanced at me bago tumingin muli sa daan.
"Mag convoy na lang tayo" Anito. Tumango na lang ako sa kaniya. He held my hand while driving. Ang kaliwang kamay ay nasa steering wheel at ang kanan ay nakahawak sa akin.
Mabilis kaming nakarating sa bahay nila, and i was feeling nervous! I was feeling intimidated kahit nasa loob pa lang kami ng kotse ni Macsimo.
He parked his car inside the garage, and we went out. Their house is really beautiful, may pagka modern at spanish style kasi ang bahay nila.
There's literally a fountain na madadaanan bago makapunta sa front door!
Well, what can you expect from the owner of one of the most successful Entertainment in the world.
Macsimo held my hand, he gave me a quick kiss on the lips, and whispered, "Don't be nervous, Baby." Anito.
Gusto ko man kumalma, pero mas lalong lumala at mas kinabahan ako lalo! We walked towards the door at pinagbuksan kami nang pinto ng dalawang tauhan nila.
"Good morning, Ma'am, Sir" the maids greeted, and i greeted them back with a smile. Naunang maglakad ang isang tauhan at ginaya kami sa sala nila Macsimo.
Ilang beses na akong nag punta dito tuwing weekends. But today, it's different! I'm meeting my boyfriend's father, who i just saw on the pictures.
Humigpit ang hawak ko sa kamay ni Macsimo ng matanaw ko ang isang matanda ngunit kita pa rin ang taglay na kagwapuhan nito.
He was wearing a white button down shirt, at nakapamulsa. Oh, gosh, he looks like the old version of Macsimo!
"G-good evening, Sir." Magalang kong sabi, yumukod ako ng kaunti sa kaniya.
"Good evening, young lady. I'm guessing you're my son's girlfriend?" Tanong nito. Tumango ako sa kaniya ang ngumiti, he's intimidating!
"Y-yes, Sir" Pormal kong sabi. Macsimo was beside me, and i gasp when he held my waist!
"Papa, meet Anastasia Tasy Mendoza, my girlfriend and future wife" Gusto kong mabilaukan sa sinabi ni Macsimo!
"Huy, ano ka ba" mahinang bulong ko sa kaniya at pinanlakihan siya ng mata. He just smiled at me at tumingin muli sa kaniyang ama.
"Tasy, meet Papa" Lumapit kami sa kaniyang Ama at parang gusto ko nang mahimatay dahil sa titig na pinukol niya sa akin!
His brows was furrowed, which made me more nervous! Bakit ba ganito ang aura ng tatay ni Macsimo?
"Nice m-meeting you, po..." Magalang kong sabi. He nodded at me and smiled, maliit na ngiti lang pero mukhang naibsan non ang kaba ko.
"Nice meeting you, Anastasia." Tumango ako muli sa kaniya.
He offered us to sit on the couch, kaya umupo kami. Nakapulupot pa rin ang bewang sa akin ni Macsimo habang magkatabi kami.
"Where school do you go to? The same as Macsimo?" Tanong ng Papa ni Macsimo. Tumango ako sa kaniya at ngumiti, "Yes, po. We're schoolmates."
Tumango ito bago uminom sa kaniyang wine glass, "Dinner is served ready" the maid announced, kaya tumayo kaming tatlo at pumunta sa dining area para kumain.
Macsimo's father sat on the middle, habang nasa left side niya ako, at katapat ko si Macsimo na nasa right side ng kaniyang Ama.
We started eating when the food was served. We were silent, and i was feeling awkward.
I glanced at Macsimo who was watching me, he smiled at me, telling me it's okay.
"So, Mendoza, your surname sounds familiar. What business does you family do?" Tanong ng Papa ni Macsimo.
Uminom muna ako nang tubig bago sumagot,
"My Mom is a Doctor po, and she owns the Talea Hospital," Pormal kong sabi. Macsimo's father stopped slicing the steak and looked at me.
"Talea Hospital? The most popular hospital in the Philippines right now?" Tanong nito, tumango ako sa kaniya at ngumiti.
"By any chance, do you know Meirane Talea Mendoza?" Kuryoso niyang tanong. Ngumiti ako sa kaniya at tumango,
"Opo, she's my mother." I saw how he stilled and continued eating. I bit my lower lip at kumain.
Later on, he asked me again, which made me confuse.
"Is your father Terano Mendoza?" He asked in a serious voice, my brows furrowed a little bago ako tumango.
"Y-yes..." i said in a small voice. I'm not really comfortable talking about my father, since it has been years since i last saw him before he filed an annulment kay Mama.
And ever since that day, Mama was never the same. She became cold, and serious. She was always smiles and jolly nung bata ako, pero nagbago yon dahil sa Ama ko.
"Then, are you here because your father told you to spy on us, that's why you made my son your boyfriend?" Mariin nitong tanong sa akin.
Gulat ko siyang tinignan, naguguluhan sa kaniyang mga sinasabi.
"Papa, what are you saying?!" Napalakas ang boses ni Macsimo. I was looking at his father, and he was looking at me, too.
"I don't know what..." hindi ko na matapos ang sasabihin ko dahil muli siyang nagsalita,
"Get out, hindi ko masikmura na nandito ang anak ng putanginang yon!" He shouted.
