This Is, Love (GxG)

Chapter 11

Xyianne

"Morning, dad." I greeted my dad when I saw him eating breakfast at the dining table with his newspaper on the side, he's busy reading the latest articles in the business industry.

I let myself sit in front of him after I finished my ponytail then washed and dried my hands.

"Good morning, my dearest daughter. May lakad ka?" He asked me after sipping his tea and looked at me. Nagtaka siguro siya kung bakit ang aga ko gumising.

Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit ang aga ko gumising, I thought I'm going to wake up in the afternoon but it's the opposite.

May nag iisip siguro sa akin kaya hindi na ako makabalik sa pagtulog ko. LOL!
Sino naman mag iisip sayo, Xyianne?

Yung mga nanligaw sayo na may mga saltik?

I shake my head. "Wala po, I'm just going to buy some groceries. We don't have stocks in the fridge. I saw it last night." I plainly said while wiping and putting an excess amount of strawberry jam on my toasted loaf bread.

I heard my father's chuckle. "You're really like your mom. Hinay hinay lang sa paglalagay ng jam wala kang kaagaw dyan." He shook his head playfully.

I, on the other hand, looked at him in my brows furrowed. "She's doing this too?"

"Yup, and she also does it with her hair tied up before she eats, just like you also did a while ago. Ayaw niyang may istorbo sa pagkagat niya ng tinapay even her hair." His eyes sparkled at how he delicately described what my mom used to do before.

A smile form my lips because of it but it immediately faded because of the thought that I don't even have the chance to witness it.

I sigh and took a big bite of the bread.

"Why don't we visit her today? How's that?" My dad suggested, nakita niya siguro ang mabilis na pagbabago ko ng ekspresyon kanina.

I nodded. "After I finished doing grocery." I shortly said that he responded with a small smile and nod.

Now, we are already done eating. I asked Manang Rosita to write all the things and foods she needs before I go out to do my chore.

She is busy assisting the other maids in doing the laundry when I came to find her.

"Ito iha, nakalista na lahat dyan." Inabot nito ang papel na may mga nakasulat. Hindi ko na chineck pa at inilagay ko na lang sa bulsa ng hoodie jacket kong suot.

"Okay po, kapag may ipapadagdag pa po kayo tawagan niyo na lang po ako." Sagot ko dito at tsaka nagdesisyong umalis.

"Manang, kanino itong pink na t-shirt na may cute na rabbit? Ngayon ko lang ito nakita. Hindi naman nagsusuot ng pink si Madam." Rinig kong salita ng isang katulong na ngayon ay winawagayway ang damit dahil kakatanggal lang nito sa washing machine para maisampay.

Natuod ako sa paghakbang ko dahil sa narinig. Naalala ko yung t-shirt na pinahiram ni Ma'am kagabi. Agad na namula ang pisngi ko sa naalala ko.

Erase! Erase!

"Kay Xyianne yan, suot niya kagabi. Huwag ka na maraming tanong at isampay mo na iyan. Ayusin mo at iwasang madumihan kung ayaw mong malintikan sa may-ari." Pagsusungit ni Manang Rosita sa katulong. Bahagya akong natawa dahil sa sagot niya pero napaisip din sa huli niyang sinabi. Hindi naman ako may-ari niyan. Isasauli ko rin iyan kay Ma'am.
