Y/N's POV

"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.
