I just finished taking a bath when i heard Voughn's voice down stairs. What do i expect? His always here every morning para sunduin ako at para sabay na rin daw kaming pumunta sa school. Para tuloy siyang asong bumubuntot-buntot sa'akin kahit saan ako pumunta!
I did my skincare routine and put my uniform on before getting my bag and go downstairs to eat my breakfast.
"Good morning mom and dad!" I said.
"Good morning baby!"
"Morning honey! Take your seat so you can eat na." My dad said and i just nod.
"Good morning din senorita kahit hindi mo'ko binati!" Sabi ng alien na nakikikain dito sa bahay!
"Walang good sa morning ko dahil nandito ka na naman ngayon nakikikain!"
"Ganyan na talaga pag may bago ka ng kaibigan? Sinusungitan mo na ako? Tsk, sana pala hindi na kita pinilit na makipagkaibigan doon sa Alvarez na yon!" Sabi n'ya habang nakanguso, tsk para tuloy s'yang baboy na nakalimutang pakainin ng amo n'ya!
"Tigilan mo yan, para kang baboy sa ginagawa mo."
"Sa gwapo kong to? Mukha akong baboy? Aba mahiya ka naman Adella sa gwapo kong mukha!" Bakit katunog na n'ya so Alvarez?
"Aminin mo, tinuruan ka ni Alvarez ng kalokohan no?" Sabi ko at siningkitan s'ya ng mata habang dinuduro ko sa'kanya ang tinidor na hawak ko. Tsk, kailan to natutong mang-asar?
"Apakajudger mo!"
Natapos ang bangayan naming dalawa ng tumikhim si daddy at tinignan kaming dalawa gamit ang nagtataka nitong mga mata. At ganoon din si mommy! Tsk, daldal kasi ng Voughn na'to! Siguro tama ang hinala ko, tinuruan nga s'ya ni Alvarez ng kalokohan!
"So, may bago ka ng kaibigan Adella?" My dad asked.
"Since when did you know how to make friends?" Sabi naman ni mommy na ikinatawa ni Voughn at dad.
"Mommy naman eh!" Sabi ko at tinignan si Voughn ng masama dahil kanina pa s'ya diyan nagpipigil ng tawa, pati na rin si daddy nahahawa na sa'kanya!
"Honey, you should invite him for dinner sometimes para makilala din namin s'ya ng mommy mo!" Dad said.
"I don't want daddy!"
"What? Why?"
"Eh dad naman eh! Bago–" Hindi ko natapos ang sasabihin ko dahil naunahan na ako ni Voughn.
"Kahapon po palang sila naging official na magfriends Tito! Kaya i suggest to let them know each other first before s'ya dalhin ni Adella dito." Pagsusuggest naman ni Voughn kaya napairap ako.
"You mean getting to know each other?"
"Parang ganoon na nga!" Voughn said.
"You made it sounds like they're in a relationship." May pag-aakusang sabi ni dad.
Yan kasi, sige pa dumaldal ka pa diyan Voughn! Mamaya to saakin tong alien na'to!
"What? Tito hindi ah! Grabe ka, di'ba 'No boyfriends allowed' pa si Adella because she's still young?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Voughn.
"Yes, she can have her first boyfriend when she's um.. let's say 30's?" My dad said while grinning.
"Dad!"
Mom and Voughn laugh when they heard what dad said. And i can't even see weather dad is joking or not. He can't be serious about it! It's not like i want to have a boyfriend na, but I'm not allowed to have a boyfriend until i turn 30? What the hell! How would i supposed to know the feeling of having a boyfriend in my teenage life? I badly want explore a lot of things pa naman!
"I'm kidding, of course you can have a boyfriend but please wag muna ngayon. Let's just wait until you turned 18, i think that would be a ideal age to have a boyfriend. What do you think, honey.?" Mahabang saad ni daddy at tinignan si mom para kunin ang opinion nito.
"Breath Adella, Akala mo naman mawawalan ka ng hininga pag hindi ka pinayagan magka boyfriend." Sabi ni Voughn at sinamaan ko naman s'ya ng tingin.
"You heard tito right? He said you can have a boyfriend but not right know because you're still 15." Voughn said.
"I heard Voughn, para ka namang sirang plaka eh!"
"I think that would be fine. Adella is young. We should let her enjoy and explore her teenage life." My mom interfere because she know na magbabangayan na naman kami ni Voughn.
"Mom..."
"I know honey, your dad and i are here to guide you, okay? Just know your limitations. And don't stop yourself for doing something you really want to do or to explore."
"At wag mo'ng pabayaan ang pag-aaral mo ha! Adella sinasabi ko sayo!" Parang tangang sabi ko Voughn! Bidabida talaga! Tawa lang naman ang naging sagot ni dad and mom sa'kanya.
"Inunahan mo'ko doon ha!" Sabi naman ni daddy sabay gulo sa buhok ni Voughn. Kung kanina para s'yang baboy ngayon para naman s'yang alagang tuta ni daddy.
"Tsaka bakit ba tayo umabot sa topic na'to, diba we're just talking about Adella's new friend?"
"Oh dear, you're the one who bought this topic because you thought that Voughn is trying to say na our Adella has a boyfriend!" My mom said while rolling her eyes.
Natawa ako dahil sa inakto ni mom. No wonder anak n'ya ako.
