Mamahalin Kita ng Malayo

CHAPTER 4

Rod's POV
I woke up 7:30am, I don't have class ngayong umaga cuz our professor told us na rest day naman daw so wala akong magawa. Well, today is indeed a great day! Aside from birthday ko ngayon, I keep on thinking about last night. Hayyy! Ganto ba talaga ang feeling kapag napansin ka na ng taong gusto mo? Like, napapangiti ka nalang bigla! Jusko baka mapagkamalan akong baliw nito. As I sit on the couch someone knocked the door. Sigurado ako si mommy yan so I opened it. Pagbukas ko palang ng pinto, she hugged and greet me.

Mommy Emilia: Happy Birthday son! (then smile)

Rod: Thank you mom.

Mommy Emilia: So you don't have class for today?

Rod: I have but 1pm pa naman po.

Mommy Emilia: Oh okay.

Rod: Yes mom (then smile)

Mommy Emilia: So halika na, let's go downstairs.

Rod: Una na po kayo mom, sunod po ako.

Mommy Emilia: Okay. Happy Birthday again.

After mommy tell those words, she gave me a cheek kiss then leave. Sinarado ko muna ang pinto then grabbed my phone. "Until now, no responses pa din? Batiin mo naman ako Imee! Kahit ngayon lang oh." I turned off my phone then inilapag ko na sa lamesa. I was about to open the door but my phone vibrates so I immediately picked it up baka kasi siya na. Malay mo she'll gonna send me a birthday greetings but sadly hindi siya, si Franky lang pala.

From Franky:
Heypi Birthday bestfriend!🎂🍾🥂

See you later (Libre moko ha!🤣) Ang tagal mo mag-invite!🙄 Ano may plano ka pa bang imbitahan ako? Pero dedma, invited man ako o hindi, pupunta pa din ako jan! HAHAHA.

After reading her message, I rolled my eyes then turned off my phone. "Tsk! Akala ko pa naman si Imee na". I sigh deeply then go downstairs pero pagdating ko sa dining area wala namang tao. I was about to head to our living room but I saw manang kaya nagtanong na ako.

Manang: Happy Birthday sir (then smile)

Rod: Salamat po (smile back) Ah manang nasan po sila mommy at daddy?

Manang: Nasa pool area po sir, kumakain ng breakfast. Punta na po kayo doon, kanina pa po nila kayo hinihintay.

Rod: Sige po manang, salamat.

I head to our pool area and there I saw them. While walking papalapit sa kanila, nakatingin lang sila sakin ng nakangiti.

Daddy Lucas: Happy Birthday son.

Rod: Thanks dad!

I smile then sit beside mom.

Daddy Lucas: Eh Anong plano mo ngayon?

Rod: Plano? Anong plano dad?

Mommy Emilia: You want coffee anak?

Rod: Yes mom (then smile)
