How Would You Feel

01

"Tres! Bangon na diyan! You'll be late for work!" Sigaw ng lola ni Tres sa kanya.

Tres slowly opened his eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Lord." He said saka naupo sa kama.

"Tres, c'mon. Breakfast's ready. Baba ka na." Sabi ulit ng lola niya.

"Opo, Lomy. I'll go down na po." Tres said.

"Okay, we'll wait for you na lang." Sabi ng lola niya at bumaba na.

Tres stood up at tumayo sa may veranda ng kwarto niya then he opened his arms widely as if hugging this new day.

"Good morning, universe! Gwapo mo na naman kasi andito ako, no?" He said and chuckled. "Thank you." He said while looking up and then flashed a smile, showing his dimples that everybody's fond of.

Alejandro Yael Valdez III, also known as Tres. An only child of Alejandro Yael Valdez Jr. and Olivia Valdez. Gwapo, matangkad, may dimples pa nga. Lol. Mabait at may respeto pero minsan, maloko at palabiro din. Engineer, kaya nang bumuhay ng pamilya. San ka pa? 😂 But even with all of those traits, single pa rin siya. Tres lives with his grandparents since he was 13 after his parents died in a car accident. He already graduated Engineering in Ateneo and is now working for a company in Makati. He's already 27 years old kaya ang lolo at lola niya pati ang tito at tita at pinsan, kinukulit na siyang mag-asawa at mag-anak pero paano naman mangyayari yun kung kahit girlfriend nga eh wala siya.

"Good morning to the best grandparents in the world!" Tres said and gave his lola a kiss on the forehead at saka nakipag-fist bump sa lolo niya. "Si Yvonne po?" He asked about his cousin na dito nag-stay last night.

"Ay naku, naliligo pa. Kanina ko pa kasi ginigising, di agad bumangon." His lola answered.

"Maaga pa naman, Lomy. Ikaw naman. I'll just drop her off sa school." Tres said and smiled.

"Aren't you gonna be late if idadaan mo pa siya sa school? Ako na lang maghahatid sa kanya." Sabi naman ng lolo niya.

"Okay lang, Lody. Sa site naman po ako ngayon and sabi ng mga boss, kahit medyo late daw kasi iche-check lang naman namin yung progress nung project sa Batangas." Tres answered.

"Sure ka, ah?" Lody said.

"Sure na sure, Lody. Ako nang bahala kay Yvonne." Tres said and smiled.

"So you're going to Batangas?" Lomy asked which Tres nodded to. "Baka naman diyan mo na mahahanap ang the one mo.." She said and smiled.

"Lomy talaga. Trabaho po ang ipupunta ko dun hindi babae. Tsaka, ilang oras lang naman po kami dun." Tres said. "Pero, malay niyo diba?" He added which made the three of them laugh.

"Pero tama ang Lomy mo, Tres. Maghanap-hanap ka na ng liligawan mo kasi hindi ka na bumabata at lalong hindi na kami bumabata. Gusto pa naming maabutan ang mga magiging apo namin sa tuhod." Sabi ni Lody.

"Maaabutan niyo naman po yun eh." Tres said. "Alam niyo po, Lomy, Lody, ang masasamang damo, matagal mabuhay." Sabi niya sabay takbo pataas para maligo.

"Puro ka talaga kalokohang bata ka!" Lomy said na nagpatawa lang kay Tres at sa lolo niya.

"I love you, Lomy and Lody!" Tres said saka bumalik sa kwarto niya.

After some time, bumaba na siya na bihis na bihis na at ayos na ayos ang buhok. Mas matagal pa siyang mag-ayos ng buhok kaysa maligo kaya hawakan mo na lahat, wag lang ang buhok niya. Lahat pwede, wag lang talaga buhok. Lol.

"Gwapo, ah!" Yvonne said.

"Sus, kailan ba hindi?" Tres said and playfully smirked.

"Gwapo nga, single naman!" Asar ni Yvonne sa kanya.
