"Mom pleaseee! Pumayag na po kayo" I beg while following her around. Trying my very best to convince her.
"Baby...you already know my answer 'bout that. " she said.
Sinundan ko lang siya ng sinundan hanggang sa maupo siya sa working table niya that is full of her wondreous inventions.
I've been convincing my mom for the past weeks already!
I've already done all the things na alam kong makakatulong para maconvince ko siyang payagan na ako but her answers are the same all the same. NO!
Laylay ang balikat kong naupo sa table na nakaharap sa kanya. Ready to give up. But suddenly that thought came to my mind.
she never says no to that...thats it!
This is my last shot.Huminga ako ng malalim bago nagsalita.
"Itsamission" mabilis kong sabi at napabuga ng hininga."Wooh! There! I said it." I cheered happily. Opposite to my moms reaction.
uh-oh.
I thought she's gonna be happy?
Kunot noo lang siyang nakatunghay sa imbensyong tinatapos.
"Mom?" tawag ko. Napabuga siya ng marahas at tumalikod sa akin para kalmahin ang sarili.
is it really a bad idea?
Nagsimula na akong magsisi dahil sinabi ko pa ito sa kanya.
"ROGER!" sigaw niya matapos ang ilang sandali. I jumped a bit sa biglang pagtawag niya kay dad. Its clear that my mom is already mad..but not really. I've never seen my mom got angry before. But Im sure that she's just iritated right now.
Out of nowhere , my dad came into the room smiling widely.
"Yes hon?"dad greeted mom happily. But in the other hand , mom is about to burst.
"Really Roger? ANOTHER mission?! Kararating lang ng anak mo galing sa mission pagkatapos ay eto na naman?!" my mom said.
Halatang malapit na niyang sigawan si dad pero nagawa parin itong kontrolin. And Im guessing that , its because Im still here.
"Sweetie , can you excuse us for a minute?" nakangiting ani dad. Just as I expected.
"Sure " smiling , I stood up and left the room. As soon as I closed the door , I heard mom shout again. Napailing iling nalang ako at napabuntong hininga.
I badly wanted this. Oo at nakakalabas ako ng bansa at nakakapunta sa ibat ibang lugar. Not to wander but to finish missions.
Our clan is one of the most dangerous mafia organization around the world. Can't argue with that.
The Rosnovzki Org. is created by my great great grandfather. He started from nothing 'till the Rosnovzki reach the top.
Yes. Nag-iisa lang siya noong umpisa hanggang sa makabuo ng sariling grupo.
Father told us that , every underground battle there was , my great great grandpa would sign up and every time he wins , he gets an ally. Every person he beats up comes to him and bow down . Offers their loyalty and everything to him. Maybe that's just how it works. I dunno.
And to think that he is only a mere construction worker?How can he enter underground battles??
When my father told those stories , I dont even wanna believe anything he says. But then , he showed us great great granpa and grandma's journal. Thats when where I started to believe. Blood stains are evident in his journal. Seems like great great granpa writes in it after a bloody fight.
Now every one of us has our own fighting journal.It became our tradition.
Minutes later , the door swang open. Revealing my father looking devastated. My excitement left my body. She didnt say yes.
"Its still a no?" malungkot kong sabi. Maiiyak na.
My dad look at me intently. " She said yes."
"I knew it. She doesnt ap- wait what??". Nang nag angat ako ng tingin kay dad ay napakaganda na naman ng ngiti niya.
"She said what?!!" I asked again. Baka kasi na miss-heard ko lang ang sabi niya.
"Your mom agreed." still widely smiling.
Hindi ko napigilang mapalundag sa tuwa at niyakap si dad.
"Yey!Thanks dad! You're the best!" i said as I kiss his cheek.
Tinawanan niya ako at kinalas sa pagkakayakap.
" Now go to your mom. May gagawin lang ako sa baba."she said as she kissed my forehead and head down the staircase.
Dali dali akong pumasok sa work room at patakbong lumapit kay mom.Hindi pa siya tuluyang nakakaupo ng niyakap ko siya.
"Thank you mommy!! Youre the best! I love you." masigla at malambing kong sabi sa kanya.
She chuckle as she hugs me back.
" ..Anything for you sweetie. As long your happy.I Love you too."napapabuntong hiningang aniya.
Kumalas ako sa pagkakayakap ko sa kanya at nagpaalam na mag aayos na ng gamit ko.
Actually , matagal ko ng naayos ang gamit ko. Nilagay ko lang ang ibang mga bagay na kakailanganin ko pa. Maliit lang noon ang naimpake ko dahil sa hindi pagpayag ni mom. But now that she approves , I think I might need a bigger bag.
Nasa dining table na kaming tatlo at tahimik na kumakain.
"Did you talk to your brother already?" biglang tanong ni mommy.
"Ahm..Not yet po." sabi ko. Ang alam ko kasi ay nasabi na ni dad sa kanya iyon kaya hindi na ako nag-abala pang tawagan si kuya. Siguro ay busy din siya sa schooling.
"Which school exactly Roger? You didn't mention it when we are talking." baling ni mom kay dad.
"Grantundra Academy."
Tapos na kaming kumain at parang meeting nalang ito. Kita ko naman ang pangungunot ng noon ni mom.
Kuya is also in that academy. Isa sa mga dahilan kaya gusto kong makuha ang mission na ito.
"Your son is already in there. Why do you have to send Zaphy there?" magkaharap lang kami ni mommy. Ramdam na rin ang namumuong tensyon.
Seems like they're not done talking yet.
"Ahm mom?Can I go to my room na?" I carefully ask.
"Sure baby.We're just gonna talk"mom said smiling.
"Nighty night dewdrop"dad added.
After that , I excused myself.
