CHAPTER 1 (DEALING WITH SUPERMAN)

Si Yaya Rosie, sya na yung nag-alaga saken magmula nung baby pa ko. My mother? I don’t know. Nowhere to be found. Di ko na matandaan kung ano itsura nya or should I say kinalimutan ko na kung ano itsura nya. Lahat kasi ng picture nya tinapon ko na.

“Sinigang. Ikaw talaga Aga late ka na naman kumain. At late ka na naman umuwi kagabi” sermon ni Yaya Rosie habang hinahanda yung pagkain ko.

“Hahaha. Pareho kayo ni Daddy. Hindi pa din kayo nasanay sakin”. sabi ko habang nilalantakan ko yung grapes sa lamesa.

“Tumawag nga pala si Jake ba yun? Sinabi ko tulog ka pa” sabi niya.

I just rolled my eyes and say

“Kapag tumawag ulit ‘ya pakisabi nasa ibang planeta ako” at nag-umpisa nako kumain.

“Oh bakit? Sino ba yun? Bago mo na namang boyfriend. Eh diba si James yung boyfriend mo?” pagtataka nya.

“ ‘ya, wala akong boyfriend. Yung mga yun wala yun. Masyado lang silang feeling at akala nila eh type ko din sila” sabi ko.

“Ikaw talaga. Kelan ka kaya makakahanap ng lalaking seseryosohin mo?” sabi pa nya.

“Hahaha. ‘ya that is the last thing that’s gonna happen.”

“hmm  ‘ya. Coffee please. Thanks.” Utos ko pa.

“Ay, Aga pinapapunta ka pala ng Daddy mo sa office nya. May pag-uusapan daw kayo.” sabi nya habang nagtitimpla ng kape. Coffee drinker kasi ako e.

“kdot. Dealing with my superman again.” Nakangiti kong sagot.

Superman is my Dad. Yun ang tawag ko sa kanya.

*FLASHBACK*

Aga: Dad, are we going to attend the family day?

Dad: Of course baby. Why? Something wrong?

Aga: Hmm. It just that, we are not family Dad, Mom is not here. :(

Dad: Oh come on baby. Daddy is here. I can be mommy and daddy. I will do anything for my baby Aga.

Aga: you can do both?

Dad: Yes. I can.

Aga: You’re like superman. Superman can do anything for his love Louis Laine.

Dad: You’re watching superman? 

Aga: Yaya Rosie was watching it last night.

Dad: Ok then. I will be your superman. :)

*END*

So there, papunta na ko sa office ni Dad and I wonder kung ano yung pag-uusapan namen. It’s already 5pm, sure na sure na late ako nito. Hahaha. Ok lang sanay na naman sila saken e. what’s new?

OFFICE

“Hi superman, Miss me?” sabi ko habang papalapit kay Dad and to give him a kiss and hug.

“Finally! You’re awake. 6pm ang call time mo diba? Late ka na naman” panenermon nya habang binababa yung librong binabasa nya.

“May bago pa ba dun? Late naman ako lagi e.”

Umupo na ko dun sa malapit sa table ni Dad. Para tuloy akong pinatawag sa guidance office. Hahaha. Ako yung student, si Dad yung guidance counselor. Ganun yung itsura namen.

“So what are we going to talk about?” tanong ko.

“Yeah. At ipapaalala ko lang sayo na nag-agree ka saken kanina.” Sabi nya in a very serious voice.
