Aya's POV

"Akala ko ba gwapo?!"  I asked Dad

"Gotcha!" Sagot naman ni Dad with matching tawa pa.

Tumayo naman yung girl para salubungin kami. YES! GIRL!

Ooookaaaay. Parang alam ko na.

"Aya, I want you to meet Patrice. Patrice, this is my daughter Aya" Said Dad

"Oh Aya dear! It's nice to finally meet you! You're Dad is wrong! You're not beautiful." Said Tita Patrice

I arched my eyebrows. Who the hell is she to--

"You're not even pretty" Tuloy niya pa.

Ah talaga naman tong asdfghjkl! She's getting on my nerves. Stop it! I'm gonna kick the hell--

"You.are.so.gorgeous!" Sabi niya tapos may pa clap clap pa ng kamay -_- So childish

Ha? Gorgeous daw?! Ha-ha. Sige na nga! I prefer the word gorgeous rather than beautiful and pretty.

As she said that, she kissed my cheeks and hugged me warmly.

"Uhm, Thank you err . . " What should I call my soon to be step mother?

"Oh, you can call me Tita Patrice muna. I wish to make everything legal before you can call me mom" She smiled big as she said that.

Wait, Let me process something. . .

LOADING. . .

LOADING. . .

LOADING. . .

FAILED!

Ano sabi niya?! Legal?!

"Aya c'mon. Let's have a seat." Said Dad as I snapped back to reality.

Looks like reserved tong restaurant just for us this night.

"So  Aya, why don't you tell me something about your self? Lagi nalang kasi Dad mo nag kukwento sakin ng tungkol sayo eh. " Said Tita Patrice

I don't know bakit parang ang awkward. Awkward nga ba? Para kasing unease ako eh. I'm not comfortable. Eto ba talaga feeling sa mga ganitong situation?

Nagserve naman yung waiter ng mga appetizers.

Hmm, talk about yummy!

"Hmm, I'm currently second year high school at St. Therese--"

"I already know all of that. What I'm talking about was your hobbies." She cut me off.

Rude. I don't know. Yan na lang agad pumasok sa isip  ko nung nag interupt siya kanina sa pagsasalita ko. Nakakabastos lang naman diba? Nakakawala ng mood. Ganda pa naman ng ambiance dito. So classy.

"Hobbies? Wala naman po masyado. Just hanging out with my friends" I said. I think I sounded like dead. Napaka lifeless kasi ng pagkakasabi ko. I think that just served her right.

The dinner went on and on. Boring. Nagkwento pa sila kung paano sila nagkakilala.

Flashback awhile ago . . .

"Alam mo ba itong Dad mo, unang kita ko pa lang sa kanya, I know he's the one. The one who's gonna make my heart beat again." She said

Beat again?! Bakit? HIndi ba tumitibok puso niya ngayon? Ano siya zombie? Err. Like I care -_- Haay. I'm so bad! Si Dad ayun, laki ng ngiti. Mukang inlove nga ata talaga.
