"Y/N, anak can you come with me sa mall?"
Dahan dahan kong minulat ang mata ko at liwanag mula sa araw na tumatagos sa bintana ang bumungad sa akin. Pag ikot ko sa kanan ay mukha ni Tita ang sumalubong.
Dali dali akong tumayo at nag ayos ng aking itsura bago humarap sa kaniya. "Good morning, Tita Vp." I greeted her with a small smile.
Lord, wala pa ako toothbrush, nakakahiya po.
"Good morning, nak and don't be shy," she said before standing up because nakaluhod siya kanina. "Para namang hindi mo ako naging nanay for ilang taon na,"
Natawa na lang ako sa kahihiyan at naalala kong may sinasabi siya kanina kaya ako nagising.
"Ano po 'yong sinasabi niyo again kanina? Sorry, Tita half awake pa lang body ko that time," I asked while scratching the back of my head.
Tita walk towards their cabinet of foods and opened it. "Ah, I'm asking you if you can come with me sa grocery?" She's fixing the cabinet, halos ubos na nga laman nito. "I want to cook din sana, because you know Tricia is here, complete ang mga anak ko," Tita walk closer to me and pinched my cheeks. "At ang gwapo/ganda kong anak ay nandito rin."
Enebe, Tita.
Sanay na akong pinupuri ni Tita, she's very like that. But everytime ginagawa niya 'yon, nahihiya pa rin ako. I may be hiya but deep inside, I know I needed that. I know I needed some sort of validation from a mother. Kahit hindi na totoo kong nanay.
"Ganda niyo po kasi,"
"Sus, bolero ka ah."
We both laughed sa taas ng energy namin mag kulitan kahit umaga pa lang. Tita really is a very cool Mom.
"But yes, Tita sure. 5pm pa naman po meeting ko with the Engineer na cinancel ko yesterday,"
"Great! Mag bibihis lang ako, gusto ko sana lunch yung kain natin magkakasama."
She's explaining her plans for today habang nag hahanap ng isusuot. Tita will cook pasta and steak daw, sa isip niya hindi kasya ang steak for lunch kaya I suggested the pasta, since I know they like it also, especially Jillian. Lahat naman gusto niya.
"Napadaldal na ako, mag bihis ka na rin. May damit ka naman d'yan, diba?" Tita suddenly said in between her chikas.
I'm currently here sa condo nila. Dito na ako pinatulog nina Tita kagabi pag uwi from the rally. I said no kasi nakakahiya kahit na noon ay ginagawa ko na rin ito. But they insisted, alam daw nila kung gaano kapagod sa rally. Jill agreed also so I had no choice but to agree.

"It's okay, Tita. I like chikas, remember?"
"Marites nga pala tayo," She admitted and giggled. "Sige na, mag bihis ka na ron. Baka magising na sila,"
I entered the bathroom and did my thing there. Nang matapos ako mag skin care ay pumunta na ako sa kwarto ni Jill.
"Tita, pasok na po ako, ah?" Paalam ko.
Tita nodded and that's my go signal na puwede akong pumasok. Everytime papasok ako sa kahit anong room dito sa condo nila, I always ask for permission kahit sabi nila wag na. I just want to respect them.
At ang rason kung bakit nandito ako sa room ni Jillian ay dahil nandito ang mga damit ko. Yes, I do have stock ng damit dito. All of them agreed na dapat daw mag stock ako ng damit para in case hindi ako makauwi, may pamalit ako. Limited lang ang space rito sa condo nila, sakto lang sa kanila. Jillian offered her closet para sa mga damit ko, hindi ko alam kung paano niya napagkasya yung mga inalis niyang damit niya sa isang small box, but this girl is just really madiskarte.
When I opened the door, I saw Jillian still sleeping with her blankets on. I saw one of her plushies sa sahig, maybe nalaglag. Kinuha ko ito at dahan dahang inipit sa braso niya. Very softie, gustong gusto niyang may kayakap.
Dumiretso ako sa closet at nag hanap ng isusuot. Nang makahanap ako ay dali dali akong nag ayos dahil ayoko naman pag hintayin si Tita. Before heading out of Jill's room, I checked her once again.
Tulog na tulog pa.
I slowly closed the door at pag harap ko ay nagulat ako kay Doc Tricia.
She laughed and showed a cup of coffee. "Good morning?" She said habang tumatawa pa rin.
"Papatayin mo ba ako sa gulat?" I whispered dahil baka magising si Jill.
Ang puso ko, Lord.
"I'm sorry, was about to check Jill sana. Mama didn't mention na and'yan ka pala,"
Hanggang ngayon ay nakahawak ako sa dibdib ko, na pakiramdam ko ay puputok na.
Grabe, sobrang kape ko na yata.
"Chill," she tried to calm me kahit na tumatawa pa rin siya. "Sige, since fault ko. Libre check up mo, patingin nga,"
Nagulat ako nang bigla niyang ilapat ang kamay niya sa dibdib ko.
Sobrang kape na nga, Lord.
Sa sobrang lakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko, naririnig ko 'to.
Jusko, please wag n'ya marinig, nakakahiya.
Habang tumatagal ang hawak niya, lalong lumalakas ang kabog nito.
Tama na.
Sa awa ng Diyos, binitawan niya ito at nag akto na animo'y nag iisip. "Hmm, okay ka pa naman," she said at tinalikuran ako.

Lalakad na rin sana ako nang bigla siyang humarap ulit. "And sobrang kape na nga,"
What? What the.. Don't tell me, narinig niya!?
"Did I just say it out loud?" I whispered, talking to myself.
"Yes."
She winked at me bago tuluyang nag tuloy sa pag lalakad.
What was that?
Hanggang pag dating sa grocery ay iniisip ko ang nangyari. Una sa lahat, nakakahiya. Bakit ang lakas ko nasabi? Pangalawa, bakit ang lakas na niya mang asar ngayon? At pangatlo, bakit gano—
"Y/N!"
Nabalik ako sa katinuan nang marinig ko si Tita, ang layo na niya pala. Ako ang nag tutulak ng cart namin at siya ang nag hahanap ng mga kailangan. Ngayon ay ang layo na niya dahil pati pala ang pag tulak ko sa cart ay bumagal habang nag iisip ako.
Binilisan ko ang pag lapit sa kaniya at pilit na inalis muna lahat ng thoughts. Nag focus ako sa ginagawa namin Tita. Ako ang naging taga abot kapag hindi niya maabot. We were busy looking kung anong past ang maganda nang biglang mag vibrate ang cellphone ko. It's Jillian.
"Who was that?" Tita asked nang mapansin niya na nag tetext ako.
"Jillian's asking nasan po tayo, akala niya umuwi na ako,"
"What a clingy Jillian,"
Nag hanap pa kami ng ibang mga kailangan at nang makumpleto namin ay agad kaming nag bayad para makauwi na. Dumaan kami sa flower shop para bumili ng flowers for Ate Aiks, Doc Tricia, and Jillian.
Idea 'to ni Tita pero I offered na mag hati kami sa bayad. We bought three bouquet of roses, with different designs.
Nang makarating kami sa condo, Tita opened the door for me dahil ako ang may hawak ng dalawang flowers, for Ate Aiks and Doc Tricia. Tita insisted na siya na kay Jillian.
The three of them were sitting sa sofa and watching a movie. Lumapit kami sa kanila at inabot ang flowers.
"Omg, what's with the flowers?" Doc Tricia asked while admiring the beauty of the bouquet.
"It was Tita's idea, nakiambag lang ako, just because flowers." I answered, smiling.
"Thank you, Ma!" Tumayo si Ate Aiks upang yumakap kay Tita, ganun din si Doc Tricia.
After hugging Tita, they looked at me. "And of course, Y/N thank you!" both of them said.
Ate Aiks hugged me first at sumunod si Doc Tricia. Nang mag tama ang tingin namin ni Jill habang mag kayakap kami ni Doc Tricia, agad siyang umiwas at nakipagusap kay Tita.
She didn't even smiled at me. Weird.
The time went really fast, lahat kami ay tumulong sa pag luluto at ngayon ay nakaupo sa dining. Peacefully eating nang biglang mag salita si Ate Aiks.
"I have a question!" She raised her hand. "Ah, me and Trish pala,"
Tita nodded as a sign na mag continue sila.
"Bakit sa amin si Y/N nag bigay flowers kanina? Tapos ikaw, si Jillian lang," Ate Aiks curiously asked at sinisiko pa si Doc Tricia.
"Paboritong anak things," gatong nito.
Natawa ako at napatingin naman sa akin si Jill. I smiled at her at tipid naman din siyang ngumiti.
Nag tuloy tuloy ang asaran hanggang sa matapos kami. Ate Aiks volunteered na siya na raw ang mag lilinis ng kinainan while Doc Tricia and Tita headed out. Matapos naming iabot kay Ate Aiks ang mga pinggan, Jill turned back at pumasok sa room niya.
Nagkatinginan kami ni Ate Aiks and we both shrugged.
"Sundan mo na, okay lang ako rito,"
Nang masigurado kong okay si Ate Aiks, dumiretso ako at kumatok sa kwarto ni Jillian.
"Bukas 'yan,"
I opened the door and I saw her sitting sa kama niya while using her ipad. Tumabi ako sa kaniya at sinilip ang ginagawa niya.
"You're not busy naman pala, you're just playing candy crush!" pang aasar ko.
"So what? Ang sabihin mo, inggit ka kasi nalampasan ko na level mo." She said and even rolled her eyes.
"Kapag ikaw naabutan ko,"
"What?"
"Whatawat, sana matalo ka."
Hinampas niya ako ng unan, buti na lang ay nasangga ko ito. I watched her play the game at agad kaming natawa nang makita ang result ng game. Talo siya, ang yabang kasi, e.
"Are you okay, bub? Pansin ko kanina ka pa wala sa mood, mabuti you're smiling now," singit ko.
"I'm okay, I think it's my period. Magkakaron na yata ako,"
"I see, let me know if you need anything. Or let Ate Aiks, Doc Tricia, and Tita know." I said, assuring her na nandito lang kami, hindi niya kailangan magalit sa mundo kapag meron siya.
A moment of silence swallowed us.
"Kumusta kayo ni Ate Trish?" Biglaang tanong niya.
"Huh? Why so random?"
"E, ngayon mo lang siya nakita and nakasama diba. How was it so far?"
"Hmm, okay naman. Hindi naman siya masungit sa akin,"
"Close na kayo?"
"Fast talk ba 'to?" I said and laughed dahil ang bilis niya mag palit ng tanong. "But to answer your question, yes I think medyo close na kami. With our interactions yesterday and today. Why did you suddenly ask?"
Jill looked at me.
"I saw you both last night,"
