Let The Love Begin

Chapter Ten

My alarm clock snoozed, ang ingay, ang sarap pa naman ng tulog ko.

It's already 6AM, I remembered na meron pala kaming lakad ngayon ni Mommy at Daddy so I hurried up to the Bathroom to fix myself.

After fixing myself, I immediately went downstairs. Hindi pa tumatawag si Drake I bet tulog pa 'yon, so I texted him nalang.

To ALI

Good morning mahal kong Ali, rise and shine! Maaga akong nagising kasi nga diba? May pupuntahan kami. Text nalang kita after namin ha? I love you Ali, wag kalimutang kumain.

Pagbaba ko, wala pa sila Mom so I just ate my breakfast first. Sakto din pagkatapos ko ay s'yang pagbaba nila.

"Good morning Mom and Dad," bati ko sa kanila.

"Good morning, tapos ka nang kumain?" Tanong ni Daddy sa'kin while Mom is poker face, no emotions then she did not greeted me also, seems like hindi niya ako nakita. But it's okay, at least bibigyan nila ako ng time just for today.

"I'm done Dad," sagot ko sa Daddy ko.

"Okay just wait for us sa living room," utos niya sa'kin.

"Okay dad," sabi ko at agad namang pumunta sa living room, naglaro lang ako ng PUBG mobile while waiting for my parents. Saktong pagkatapos ng laro ay tinawag na ako ni Daddy.

As usual, I won the game with 12 kills. Share ko lang!

Sumakay na kami ng kotse. I really want to ask them kung saan kami pupunta but nahihiya ako. Hindi kasi ako sanay na nasa iisang kotse kami.

First stop namin is plane ticket outlet, baka may business trip silang dalawa. I just stayed in the car while waiting for them 'coz it's kinda mainit na sa labas. Natapos din naman sila kaagad.

Second stop namin is Mall.

"Buy whatever you want Gabby," mom finally spoke up.

"Really?" Amazed kong tanong, she didn't respond again.

"Yes, so go hurry up," sabi ni Daddy kaya agad akong pumasok sa National Bookstore, bibili ako ng nga books para kay Drake, he loves books so much by the way. After Natio, I went to Watsons, bought some make-ups there.

I was shocked, lahat ng pinamili nina Mom and Dad is for a baby girl. Baka they will give it to their inaanak kaya I didn't mind nalang those things.

After namin mag Mall, we drove to a distant place. Para siyang bundok, ewan I can't explain it. Pagdating namin doon ay may sumalubong sa ami'ng matanda.

"Hali kayo Maam, nandito siya," sabi nung matanda. Sumunod lang ako kela Mom.

I was very shocked when we entered the house, may baby! Agad siyang kinarga ni Mom, I was still puzzled.

"Lola, naayos na po namin lahat ng papeles for the adoption," sabi ni Mom at bigla akong na gulat.

What!?

"Wait, Dad, what's this?" Tanong ko kay Dad, hindi ko na matiis.

"Meet your new baby sister Gabby. From now on, anak na din namin siya ng daddy mo," sabi ni Mommy sa'kin.

I don't know how to feel. I was so confused. Tinuloy talaga nila ang adoption. Hindi ako nakapagsalita, I'm just watching them. They're so happy looking at the baby, ang saya nila pareho. I wondered na ganyan ba sila kasaya noong ipinanganak ako. I'm just silent the whole trip to our house.
