"So how was your vacation so far? Kamusta naman ang hotel niyo? Are you guys having fun? Oh my God, Ralph! Mukhang nanaba ka in a short span of time,nak!"
The boys and I are glued to the screen. My Mom was cooking pesto while talking to us. The usual look I always see on her whenever I came home from gigs. Hindi pwedeng gutom kami kapag nasa pamamahay niya, she said one time we were there after a major gig.
"Tita Bianca naman oh!! Nanaba daw? Weh? Uy may six packs pa po ako!", Ralph said while showing his set of abs. "Look! ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE..."
"Oh nasan ang pang-six? Hahaha!", she looks closely at the screen, nagaya din kaming tatlo.
" Nasaan nga ba?Hmmm..", Smith
"Eto. Eto yun oh! Shit! Nasaan na yung sixth? Waahh! Basta pang-anim ito!", he pointed it out and kept on poking it while looking at his abs.
" Well let me guess, you've been drinking and..drinking. Teka, drinking all day long?"
"No,Tita!! Ang sasarap po kasi ng mga handa ng hotel para sa amin! We've been freaking deprived of food for the last months of full schedules.", Diego. "Kahit nga po ako, nanaba na. Last time I checked,nadagdagan na ako ng two kilos."
"That's alright,boys. Ok yan. I will let your Moms know na you're doing fine. Alam nyo naman sa work ko, I didn't have the time na to go somewhere. Hindi na rin tuloy ako nakasunod sa Hawaii trip ng mga parents niyo."
"I hope you're doing alright there,Mom. Oh, by the way.."
She looked at me,waiting while holding the bowl of pasta.
"INLOVE NA PO SI MARCH!", Ralph said loudly while laughing.
And just in the telenovelas she's watching, she dropped the bowl and stared at me for a few seconds.
"WHAT?!WHO IS THAT LUCKY GIRL? OH MY GOD, THE PASTA? ARE YOU SURE NA INLOVE KA NA,NAK? OH MY GOD!"
Ayan na. Napraning na.
"MA! CALM DOWN. I just...like..someone. There's this girl I met here in.." The three guys were already looking at me. Chismoso!
"Sino? From what family? Please,March! Spill me the beans. Sino ba siya?Boys!" Grabe talaga itong Mama ko, who would have thought that she would be this excited? I just like someone,for pete's sake!! Hindi pa naman ako head over heels for that girl.
Or am I already?
No shit Sherlock.
"Tita, kalma lang. She's just a cousin of our avid fan. Her name is Ryka. I just can't remember what her last name is. Naaalala niyo pa ba?" Smith looked at us.
Ano nga ba last name niya?
M yun eh!
Mon...
Monte...
Montemayor?
Montecillo?
Ano nga ulit?
" I remembered!!", Ralph raised his hand. "Monteverde! Ryka Monteverde!"
"Huh? Ano?"
