Pinaalam agad namin sa mga magulang namin ang pangyayari na 'yon. Masayang-masaya si Mommy na marinig sa akin na boyfriend ko na si Jayson. Sa sobrang saya niya ay umuwi siya ng maaga at pinagluto kami ng hapunan. Doon na rin niya pinakain kasabay namin si Jayson ng gabing iyon.
Somehow my siblings and Jayson are already talking. They seem to be getting along well with Jayson as well. Maybe they realized that Jayson was also kind. I also can't blame them for being like this. I knew they were just protecting me. They know what happened to my ex -boyfriends then so they are like this now.
Now, maybe they realize that Jayson is different. Jayson is different from my previous boyfriends. He was the only man who made me feel things I had never felt before.
I'm happy when I'm with him. I feel like I have everything when I’m with him. It was as if I would have needed nothing if it was with him. That’s how I feel when he’s there.
"Caralia, bumangon ka na diyan. Nandiyan si Jayson sa baba. Hinihintay ka ng boyfriend mo. Sabay daw kayong papasok." Kuya Chase said.
Tinapik niya ang mukha ko ng dahan-dahan para magising ako. Kitang kita ko sa mata niya ang inis pero alam kong kontrolado niya 'yon. "Ano? Nandiyan siya sa baba, Kuya Chase?" gulat kong tanong, hindi makapaniwala dahil maaga pa.
"Oo, kaya bumangon ka na diyan. Bilisan mo-"
Hindi pa natatapos ni Kuya Chase ang sasabihin niya ay bigla na akong bumangon sa kama ko at dali-daling tumakbi sa CR. Mabuti na lang nakaplantsa na ang uniporme ko at nakahanda na rin ang gamit ko. Gabi pa lang ay inayis ko na ito dahil alam kong late na naman ang gising ko ngayon.
I took a quick shower and got dressed. I don’t want him to wait long for me. I don’t want to waste his time for me.
When I came down I saw Jayson talking to Mommy and Daddy. My siblings watch TV. Looks like they just finished breakfast.
"Good morning, mommy and daddy." Lumapit ako sa mga magulang ko at mabilis silang hinalikan sa pisngi nila.
"Good morning, sweetie." She kissed me on my left cheek. "Kumain ka na dito. Magbibihis lang muna ako." Mommy said before she left us.
Tumango lang ako. Nakita kong tumayo na rin si Daddy. "Magbibihis na rin ako, Alia. Maaga kami sa Montenegro Company ngayon." Hinalikan niya ako sa noo. "Kumain muna kayo bago kayo pumasok." Iniwan niya rin agad kami at sumunod na kay Mommy sa kwarto.
"Akala namin hindi ka na bababa, e. Ang tagak mo." Lloyd said without looking at me.
"Sorry." I said and then looked at Jayson. "Kanina ka pa ba dito? Nakakain ka na ba?" I asked.
"Nakapag breakfast na ako sa condo ko, Alia. Kumain ka muna bago tayo umalis." he said, smiling.
"Uh...sige..." saad ko at umupo sa upuan na inusog niya. Umupo siya sa tabi ko at siya na mismo ang naglagay ng pagkain sa pinggan ko. "Jayson, ang dami naman nito." bulong ko, natatakot na marinig nila Kuya Chase at Lloyd.
