Summer Three

Abigail Belmonte

Today, mumsie insisted we go to the mall and bond since it's my last day in the Philippines before my vacation in California

Kathereen said that the vacation is going to be extended for 5 months or so, for no reason. I am really going to miss mumsie and poppy!

Anyways, mum went on again about calling her mama instead of what I usually call her, mumsie. She said that we would be going to a public place and that I am no longer a child to call her that publicly.

So I woke up early today 'cause our service limo arrived at 8 am... I just wore a simple white tank top, ripped jeans, grey strappy heels, and plaid jacket wrapped around my waist... I also tied my hair in a messy bun and put on a little blush, eyeliner with light light brown eyeshadow and nude Kylie Jenner lipstick since it looked so good... that was enough for malling. Also, I brought my white-framed Ray Ban shades and white fringe sling bag...

As expected, mom and the service limo arrived at 8 am and by that time, I was done getting ready...

"Anak, you look wonderful today." Mumsie I mean Mama said

"Thank you mama... :)" was my retort

She took a glance at me and looked at me from head to toe

"Ma, what's wrong?" I asked her

"Nothing... it's just... I'm gonna miss my baby girl. Look at how pretty she is now!" Mama said, teary eyed

"Aissh, mama! Stop jesting!" I said, blushing

"Anak, I am not jesting..." Mama said

"Uh, Ma... Um, where's Papa?" I asked

"Oh. Um, your Papa has a meeting this morning so he won't be able to make it." Mama answered

Tss... He is always gone. What's new? He didn't even attend a single graduation of mine! I thought to myself

"Um, okay. Let's get in before time passes and you tear up. I don't wanna see my mama crying before I leave! It's my last day! I won't be able to go tomorrow if you don't stop crying." I jested at the last part

"Hay, anak... what a jester you are! Just like your Papa!" Mama said

"Jester? Papa? Impossible!" I said in disbelief as we were chatting in the limo

"It's true! Did you know that you got 'Mumsie and Poppy' from him? But when our business grew, he became more serious every hour. And now, he can't sleep without facing his laptop" Mama said

"Aissh, that explains a lot!"

As I told Mom and Dad yesterday, I woke up 7 am and got ready... I just wore a simple summer polo with three buttons open, a hat, summer boy shorts and Milanos shoes I also just wore simple black Ray Ban shades, I'm just going out, right? I wasn't told to wear formal...

I wore summer boy shorts cause it's pockets were deep-enough to hide my wallet... I don't really bring bags unless I need to.

As expected, mom and dad arrived at 8 am with the service limo and Junio and Kal... great. Another shame.

Mom buzzed my condo's door bell and just pressed the button to let her and dad in.

"Anak, you dressed up well. Very good" Mom praised me for such a simple thing

"I learned from the best" and smirked at dad's direction and he winked back

"Aissh, you two. Like father like son" What mom said made me and dad chuckle

We arrived at the mall, as expected

"Why are we here?" I asked

"To get you stuff for your vacation" Dad said

"Eh?" still, I was blank

"Don't look at me, look at your mother" Dad said

"Anak, I checked your stuff today at 6 am... anak naman, eh... it's unacceptable! We are getting you new things now. You're leaving tomorrow and you'll be gone for 5 months" Mom reasoned

the mall trip was boring, but I got like, 30 shopping bags on my hands and mom has 20 more on her's and dad has 5. They're all for me. Ugh. I'll be poor if my parents keep up with this.

My shopping day ended at 8 pm since my flight tomorrow was 5 am and going to the airport will be another 2 hour ride and I have to wake up early.

"Coby, you will sleep in our house tonight" Mom said on our ride back home

"Why?"

"It's nearer towards the airport and your mother and I want to be with you" Dad replied

Sigh

Mama and I really enjoyed our shopping day!

We ended our shopping at 8 pm because my flight was at 5 am plus one hour and thirty minutes ride to the airport

"Anak, where are you going to ride?" Mama asked

"Clark International Airport, Ma" was my retort

"Ohh... can I sleep at your apartment, by?" Mama asked

"Mumsie naman... I'll be fine" I said

"But I want to see you and send you to the airport. And your apartment is closer to the airport." Mumsie reasoned. I can't say no to her can't I?

"Aissh, okay. Fine. Sleep at my apartment, mumsie" I surrendered. I can't say no to mumsie

"Really? Okay!"

Mumsie did sleep in my apartment. It was one of the most comfortable nights of my life... I love my mom

I slept at my room in mom and dad's house. It was comforting. I loved every moment of that night.
