CHAPTER THREE

Naglalakad ako pagkalabas ng hospital galing duty nang tumunog ang aking cellphone. Numero iyon ni Nay Sol kaya agad kong sinagot dahil baka may kailangan na naman sa akin ang nanay ko. "Sir, Pinapatawag ho kayo ni ma'am dito sa mansion."

Here she goes again, napahilot ako sa noo bago isinara ang pinto ng kotse. "Bakit daw?"

"Hindi ko ho alam, sir, basta ho ang sabi ay tawagan ko ka'yo. Dito narin daw kayo maghapunan."

"Sige Nay Sol, salamat, pakisabi po na papunta na ako diyan." Pagkatapos kong ibaba ang tawag ay napasandal ako sa headrest ng upuan ng kotse ko. Telling myself that she won't gonna ask about a girl for me to marry. Ngunit hindi ko naman inaasahan na talagang kukulitin niya ako.

"Son! Hey, look at the dress I brought from the auction earlier, it's a dress from my favorite designer! Isn't it pretty?" Mula sa panonood ko ng UFC ay napabaling ang tingin ko sa iminuwestra ng nanay kong damit.

I frustratedly massage the bridge of my nose. I just cannot look at that dress longer, it irritates me just to think that she brought that as a hundred thousand plus.

"Mom, how much was that?" I asked in a calmer voice.

She raised her one hand then grimaced. "Just a little bit of tiny... It cost eight-hundred-thousand pesos."

"Mom! Eight-hundred-thousand, really?! That's too much for an only dress!"

She pouted before sitting beside me. "Son, you know mom loves clothes so much, right? This dress is special made by my favorite designer. Yes, this dress is only one but it was worth it."

"But the price!" I stood from my sit then massaged the bridge of my nose. "Mom?"

She just laughed at me when she saw my reaction. "I know son, I'm sorry but I am just your mom, I really love this dress." She said then hugged it like if she really treasures it.

"Why don't we hand back that dress to the designer then we changed it to something more elegant but cheapest one..."

She cut me off. "Don't you dare! Or else I am going to pair you with my single favorite designer!" Akmang magsasalita ako nang nauna siya. "Try your mom, Adrian."

Umayos ako ng tayo saka napakamot sa noo, I crinkled my nose before sitting beside her, tumayo naman siya para ilagay sa isang sofa ang dress na nabili niya. Bumagsak ang balikat ko nang tumingin ako ulit doon. Kung sino man nagdesign niyon, ang galing niya. 

"Alam mo, anak..." Napatingin ako sa telebisyon nang umupo sa tabi ko si mom saka humarap sa akin. "Ako iyong mas mataas ang binayaran sa lahat kaninang auction. Napakasaya ko."

Napangiwi ako saka maliit na ngumiti. "I know, mom."

She clapped her hands. "Good. Now, we're back to our main topic. You haven't seen that girl that you've been looking for a long time?"

I sighed, one of my biggest problem is that I cannot see her, I didn't saw her yet. "She still hasn't as what my private investigator said but sooner or later, I hope she would show up to me."

"Until when are you gonna hope for that girl?"

"I'm willing to wait for her."

She sighed heavily before sipping on her coffee. She gestured me to drink one but I shook my head, we're going to eat dinner for later so I won't drink and that I need to rest later. "You're hopeless son."

"Hmm?"

Pinanliitan niya ako ng mata. "Very hopeless romantic!" Aniya saka ako pinitik sa noo!

"Mom!" I breathed out when she just grinned. How could a mother tease and call her son, hopeless romantic.
