“Ahm.. Please don’t make fun of me,okay? Promise me that?” he said while he stared at me.
“Promise!” Tinaas ko pa ang kanang kamay ko para magpromise pa. Ano kaya yun naeexcite ako?
“O-okay. Qhm but…wag nalang talaga.” Namumula siya. Halata ko iyon kahit medyo dim lang ang ilaw sa kotse niya. And I am seeing a different side of him.
“Doc, anu na nga po yun?” Pinipigilan kong matawa dahil pakiramdam ko naman ay para siyang bata.
“Ahm... I don’t know how to get back. We made a lot of turns and I--” tumingin siya sakin na parang batang nakakaawa lang. Tumatawa ako sa isip lang. Gusto kong tumawa ng malakas sa narinig ko Napangiti nalang ako kasi nagpromise ako na hindi ko siya lolokohin. At may cute side pala ang supladong doktor na ito? Sana ganito nalang lagi yun side na nakikita ko sa kanya.
“Ganun?.” Pinipigil ko talaga ang aking sarili sa pagtawa.
“Okay, I get it. Sabi ko na nga ba. Im going now!” sabi matapos ay inistart na niya ang kotse niya. Nainis ata.
“Si Doc naman. Saglit naman. Pasok ka muna sa bahay.”
“Ha?!” sabi niya na mukhang naguguluhan.
“Just a while lang Doc, please?” he did have a second look there but then he didn’t resist this time.
I led him in our house and propped him in the sala. Then, I looked for my parents and saw Ma and Pa having coffee in the kitchen.
“Ma, may bisita ako si Dr. Aquino. He doesn’t know his way bac,k kaya baka pwede i-convoy mo siya Pa hanggang highway?”
“Asan? Asan?” they answered in chorus!
“Ma, Pa!” I blocked the door that is leading to the sala. “This is not what you think it is, ok?” I repriminded them.
“Hinatid ka dito sa bahay tapos wala lang?” sabi ni Mama na ang kulit talaga.
“Ma! No! Hindi talaga. Boss ko yan at medyo mahina lang siya sa directions kaya ganun!” I looked at them intently to convince them. Ipapahiya lang talaga nila ako pag nagkataon.
“Okay, okay Meg, can you let us through ng makilala naming yun bago mong boss.” sabi ni Dad na napaka-eager kasi he was holding the knob.
“Please! Ma and Pa he’s not! Please understand that!” I shouted while I stomped my feet.
“Okay, okay, wala kaming gagawin ni Papa. Kakausapin lang namin,” My Mama held my shoulders and they slowly pushed me aside. They excitedly walked to the sala.
Dr. Aquino stood up upon seeing them and shook their hands. Wow! He looks so respectful!
