Dinampot ko ang mga damit at isinuot pabalik, pagkatapos, tumungo ako sa nightstand at inilabas ang wallet at dumukot doon ng pera.
"Here. Use this for your OB check up next week." Inabot ko sa kanila ang pera. Then I fish another money in my wallet and handed it to them. "Here's for your dinner for tonight, ladies."
Mabilis naman kumapit sa akin si Zia. "Hindi mo ba kami sasabayan kumain?" malambing na tanong niya.
I sighed. "No. I still have an exam tomorrow, I need to review." Sinuot ko ang sapatos at hinayaan silang magmukmok sa harapan ko.
"Kahit saglit lang naman?"
I grabbed my bag. "You know about my terms, right? I don't spend the night with the women I hook up with, and you both agreed with it. So don't act like a girlfriend, get it?"
Zonia tsked in disappointment. "Fine! Just call one of us, and we're just one call away," Zia said and winked at me.
Ngumisi lang ako. "I'm leaving. I'll text you both if I need someone to warm my bed again. Anyway, ladies, Thanks for tonight," I muttered before winking at them and leaving them.
I kept whistling from the moment I disembarked my car, and now I am walking towards the entrance of my condominium building. Halos atakihin naman ako sa puso nang pagbukas ko sa pinto ng condo ko, may bumungad sa akin na bulto ng tao na nakaupo sa gray couch sa may living room.
"Dustin Bentley Müller Altamirano!"
Mabilis akong tumalima at pakamot-kamot na lumapit sa nag-iisang babae na pinapayagan kong sigaw-sigawan ako, si Sofia Altamirano, the Miss Universe 1991. Not only did she get the crown but also two major awards— Best in National Costume and Best in Swimsuit.
"Mom, what are you doing here in my condo?"
Instead of answering me, she stood up and hit me with her Mouawad 1001 Nights Diamond Purse. Shit, ang sakit! Totoong diamond ba naman!
"Ang tigas talaga ng ulo mong bata ka!"
"Ano na naman ginawa ko?" I asked in confusion as I shielded myself from her hit.
She immediately stopped hitting me and composed her elegant self. I sighed as I looked at her.
"You still have the audacity to ask me that?! You are reek of sex!" Mom hit me again, but this time with her hand. Napangiwi ako dahil tumama sa braso ko ang suot niyang diamond ring na wedding ring nila ni Dad.
I groaned in pain. "Mom—"
She glared at me. "I'm warning you, Dustin, make up your mind if you don't want to get an STD from those women you have sex with! Why don't you be like your brothers? Dwight is running for cum laude, while Duke has honors! Wala ni isa akong nababalitaan na may kinikita ang mga kapatid mo," she snapped. "I heard you are having a threesome! My god, kadiri!"
Sunod-sunod na sermon ni Mom habang nakaupo ako sa couch na kanina lang ay pinag-uupuan niya. Siya na ngayon ang nasa harapan ko habang nakikinig sa unlimited na panenermon niya sa akin.
"Kapag ikaw talaga nakahanap ng katapat mo, ewan ko na lang! Tigil-tigilan mo na 'yang ganyan buhay, anak. You're turning 22 for good sake!"
I sighed. "Mom, first of all, wala talagang babae si kuya dahil sa kasungitan niya. Women are afraid of him," sagot ko at nanlalambing na hinawakan ang kamay niya.
She scoffed.
"Moreover, I am always wearing protection, Mom. I also make sure that the girls I've been with are clean. I asked them to get checked for STD screening every month. Saka parang araw-araw naman akong bumibira, every week naman, Mom."
