Kiss Me

Her mouth was hanging loose--- embarrassingly, Daniel's mother walks in.

"Ija," Pagkilala nito sa kanya. Napatayo tuloy siya. "Bakit gising ka pa?"

"Nagising po kasi kami ni DJ, tita-- I mean, mama."

Kanina habang nagkekwentuhan si Daniel, ang ama nito at daddy niya ay siya ang binusisi ng mama ni Daniel. Masayang nakipagkuwentuhan sa kanya tungkol sa buhay niya -- nagulat siya ng puro patungkol sa kanya ang mga tanong. Iniisip niya kasi na si Daniel lang ang paguusapan nila, but she was wrong. Though Daniel was very much not void to the topic --- because he was too involve with her life.

And she was more than happy to get to know this woman in front of her. She treats her like her very own, hence, the woman's want to be called mama even though they're not married yet.

"Oh, okay, are you heading off? Dear patuyuin mo muna ang buhok mo ha, before you sleep, you know the old beliefs," Tudyo nito.

"Baby," Siyang pasok ni Daniel. "Oh gosh, Danilo! Kumuha ka ngang tuwalya roon at basang basa pa ang buhok mo!" Sermon ng mama nito sa naiiling nalang na binata.

"Ma, nagulat kasi ako nawala ang girlfriend ko sa kwarto. Baka ikamo naligaw."

"Kahit na! Go!" Natatawa nalang siya habang pinapanood ang mag-ina na nagkukulitan.

"Oh, still hard headed as I remember." Nakangiting pinukol nito ang atensyon sa kanya. "Nasunod ba yan sa iyo? Oh, parang alam ko na pala ang sagot!" Namumula na siya dahil doon.

"Most of the time po kasi parang tatay siya sa sobrang pagkaprotective," She reveals, grinning widely as she reminisces. "Tigasin rin po ako, e"

"Darling, don't worry. Ganyan talaga tayong girls, nakikipagtigasan sa mga jowa, ayaw papatalo,"

"But hey, napapasunod naman natin sila, girl power e," Pagmamalaki nito at saktong dumating si Daniel.

"Bali, gutom ka ba?" He asks, pulling the chair beside her, making a loud noise.

"J," She scolds him, pulling the chair for him, doing it in a quieter fashion. "Sorry." Pilyong ngiti nito.

Ipinagsaklop nito ang kamay nila pagkaupo. "Ma ano pong makakain diyan?"

Parang nagulat ang isa na kanina pa pala nakatingin sa kanila. Nakaramdam tuloy siya ng hiya.

"Ma, okay ka lang?" Tanong ng katabi niya na agad namang tinanguan ng nasa harap nila. "Sorry, mga anak, it's just that..... you remind me so much of your father and I."

"I remember very well how gentleman he was, he still is, don't worry." She chuckles. "And I could see myself getting pissed off like because I did not want to gather too much attention,"

Wala na siyang ibang nagawa. Ngumiti nalang siya. Si Daniel na nakahawak sa kamay niya ay ngumiti rin, saka hinalikan ang kamay niya.

"Sorry ma, I'm just head over heels for this woman."

--------------------

The next day, she wakes up late. Of course, Hindi na niya pinagtakhan iyon. Matapos kasi nilang kumain ni Daniel ay naisipan pa nilang magkuwentuhan lang, and again, nagulat na naman siya sa dami ng rebelasyong nagmula sa boyfriend niya.

She still has things yet to discover about him.

Pero kung siya'y late nang nagising, mas late pa rin si Daniel. He was still sleeping soundly beside her, just as she remembered. Parang pagod na pagod kung humilik ito habang nakaung ong sa kanya.

He would grunt everytime she attempts to wake him up. Naungot ito habang iisa ang sagot. "Five minutes."

It took him like... eight "Five minutes" to finally wake himself up.
