Chapter 18: Hug Me

---

AFTER Mikee's debut, hindi ko na namalayan na ang bilis ng mga araw.

After what happened on that night... when I throw up, Josh become normal again. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nagawa ng alak sa kanya... basta biglang ang bait ulit nya.

Which was a good thing, maybe. Hindi ko na nga namalayan na uuwi na si Miguel next week. No more extensions.

I met Josh's mom couple of days ago. It was her birthday. Nung sinundo nya ako sa school, nagulat ako nang ideretso nya ako sa CM Tower.

"Why are we here?" I asked.

"I'm sorry. It's my mom's birthday today and she asked me if I can bring the girl I'm picking up at school with. I tell her, you're Miguel's girl but she didn't believe me. Sorry kung di ko sinabi sayo. Magtatampo kasi yun kapag di kita napapunta ngayon. Sorry for that, Calvy."

I smiled. "It's okay. It's her birthday naman. It's an honor if I can make her happy today. Hindi naman s'ya masungit?"

Narinig ko s'yang tumawa at sumagot ng "Hindi. Mabait yun."

We proceed to the elevator after he parked his car on the underpass of CM Tower.

He typed his passcode and the door opened. His condo's a little bit different than Miguel's at AM. It was all grey in the color. It looks great.

"Mom. We're here. I'm with Miguel's girl." He said from nowhere.

I looked at him straightly. "Josh. Don't call me Miguel's girl. I am not." I said.

"Yet?" He asked.

I stare at him trying to guess what's on his mind then he laugh. "Don't worry. I won't if you don't want."

"Young man!"

A middle aged woman in a wheel chair appeared on our sight.

"How are you here?" Josh asked her and gave him a kiss.

Is she Josh's mom? She's so beautiful. I mean gorgeous.

"I'm fine. Doing fine alone. Because I'm excited to meet this girl... behind you." She said with a little of british accent.

Sinubukan pa n'ya akong silipin sa nakaharang na katawan ni Josh sa akin.

"Ah. Hi–hello po, Ma'am..." I greeted him with nervousness and stuttering.

"Tita Joana's fine. And you must be..." She formed a quotation mark on her fingers and said, "Miguel's girl just like my son said." She said while smiling.

"No, ma'am. Joke lang po ni Josh yun." I joked, too at kinurot sa tagiliran si Josh.

"Aray!" He shouted. Her mom laugh. Ang cute nilang dalawa.

"Introduce yourself, beautiful lady." Tita Joana said.

"I'm Calvary Clough. Happy birthday to you po." I cheerfully said and response to her beso.

"I cooked carbonara for us actually." Josh's mom said.

"Really, mom? That fast? Parang kaninang umalis ako, tulog ka..." Josh asked.
