The day passed by, my life continues repeatedly. And now, we're celebrating my accomplishment and that is to be recognized as 1st Highest Honor in our school. Yes! Finally, I'm turning on 3rd year college soon.
"We're so proud of you anak! You're so matalino talaga just like me" Mama giggles when she said that, happiness is visible in her eyes
Hindi ko napigilan ang ngiti ko, I'm so blessed that I have them even though they're not my biological parents, I love them that I'm willing to do anything for them.
"Sayo lang ba nagmana Hon? Baka nakakalimutan mong matalino din ako?" Papa pout his lips when he said that, natawa ako sa mukha niya
"Of course Papa, nagmana din ako sayo" I said and wink at him then we both laugh at each other
"Oh ayan na, mana sating dalawa 'tong maganda nating anak" Mama, then smiled at me I smiled too.
Nandito ako ngayon sa kwarto ko, yes I have my own room it's 9 in the evening already but I'm still not sleepy, it's okay although wala naman na akong pasok dahil closing na. I'm here laying at my bed, looking at the ceiling and remembering my Parents memory together with me.
"Hayy... Kung nabubuhay lang po sana kayo Mom, Dad I know you'll be proud of me too. Mom, Dad I hope you're both okay wherever you are I really missed the both of you nami miss ko na po Mom yung moments nating dalawa na before ako matulog you read stories for me, you c-comb my hair 'till I fall asleep, and D-dad I miss how you be angry at m-me whenever I played at your laptop and put it in the refrigerator pero hindi mo ako pinapalo kasi sabi mo mahal na m-mahal mo ako tapos you always buy me an ice cream and Barbie to make me happy. Pero ngayong wala na kayong pareho? I promise that I will achieve my dreams I will learn to stand alone, I will learn to accept whatever happens in my life. I love you so much Mom, Dad kahit kailan hinding-hindi kayo mawawala sa puso ko."
As I said those thoughts I can't stop my tears and my heart are aching too. As I close my eyes, I see the face of my Mom and Dad smiling at me pero tuluyan na akong nilamon ng kadiliman.
I wake up early, because I wanted to surprise Mama and Papa I will cook for them! It's sunday walang silang trabaho ngayon.
Pumunta na ako sa kitchen para makapagluto na. Nadatnan ko dun si Manang Allison na may niluluto, si Manang Allison ay matagal na dito, mabait siya as I remember she's 56 na, siya lamang ang katulong namin dito
"Good morning po Manang Allison" I greeted her
"Ay palakang may buhok!" Nagulat siya at humarap sakin ng hawak ang dibdib niya.. Hala! Hindi ko namn siya ginulat ah?
"Nako, sorry po Manang Allison di ko po intensyon na gulatin kayo" sabi ko na agad lumapit sakanya baka kasi may high blood siya naku!
"Naku iha, pasensiya na ha? Magugulatin lang talaga ako e tsaka alam ko namang di mo sinasadya yun, ang bait mo kaya at maganda pa." Naku si Manang talaga nambola pa
"Menudo po ba yang niluluto niyo Manang?" I ask her
"Oo iha, kakain kana ba? May kanin na akong niluto dyan malapit narin naman itong maluto e" sagot niya at nagpatuloy sa pag halo ng ulam
"Ah, hindi pa naman po ako nagugutom Manang e actually magluluto din po sana ako" I said wearing my natural smile
She smiled too, her eyes is full of amusement
"Sige iha, ihanda mo lang ang mga kailangan mo dyan tamang tama at patapos nako dto. Ano ba ang lulutuin mo?" She said
"Ahmm.. Pancit po ang lulutuin ko manang naisip ko kasi na baka magustuhan yon ni Mama at Papa pati narin po ikaw, gusto ko pong ipatikim sa inyo" as I said that I prepare the ingredients. Marami na akong alam na lutuin ngunit gusto ko tong ipatikim sa kanila ang pancit na specialty ko.
"Naku! Sige iha parang ngayon palang gusto ko ng matikman kay tagal narin naman na hindi ako naka pagluto niyang pancit iha" sabi ni manang na may malaking ngiti sa labi
Ngumiti narin ako, natapos na si manang sa niluluto niya so it's time for me to cook!
Minutes has passed and I'm done! It's exactly 8:00 in the morning
"Hmmm, ang bango naman niyan iha" saad ni manang sabay amoy sa aking niluto
"Manang tikman niyo po" sabi ko sa kanya
Kumuha si manang ng tinidor, at tumukim. I waited for her reaction, her eyes widened as she looked at me
"M-manang bakit po? May kulang po ba?" Lumapit ako kay manang
"Hmmmm.. Ang sarap iha! Naku! Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa akin na magaling ka palang magluto ng pancit? Sabagay mahilig ka palang magluto. Paniguradong magugustuhan ito ng Mama at Papa mo!" Nagulat ako sa reaction ni manang, akala ko kasi pangit ang lasa kaya ganun na lang kanina ang reaction niya
"Naku manang nagulat po ako kanina sa reaction niyo akala ko po kasi hindi maganda ang lasa" sabi ko sa kanya bahagya naman siyang natawa
"Ikaw talaga iha, syempre ganun yong reaction ko kasi nga ang sarap ng pancit na niluto mo tamang tama ang timpla" sabi niya at kumuha ng plato
"Good morning darling, good morning manang Allison!"
Manang and I were preparing the food in the table when Mama greeted us, behind her is Papa who's squeezing his eyes gently. Lumapit ako sa kanila at humalik sa pisngi
"Good morning Mama, Papa. Kain na po kayo" I said guiding them where the foods set on the table.
"Naku ma'am, sir, magandang umaga sa inyo tikman niyo po ang nilutong pancit nitong maganda niyong anak" manang excitedly said as if she's the one who's going to taste
"Wow naman, bagong specialty?" Papa ask me then he taste it together with Mama
"Opo Papa, alam niyo naman po kung gaano ako ka interesado sa mga pagkain lalo na kung pano ito lutuin" I smiled when I say that, I look at their reaction
"Hmmm.. Ang sarap ha! You cooked well anak" as I received that complement from Papa my heart melted.
"Ang sarap nga! My gosh... parang ngayon pa lang gusto na kitang patayuan ng restaurant. We're so proud of you" Mama complemented me too then she hug me tight, I automatically smile.
"Thank you po at nagustuhan niyo ang niluto ko. Don't worry po Mama, Papa I will do my best para maka pagluto pa ng ibang putahe" they smiled at me, a proud smile.
"You will learn more iha, just go with the flow" Mama said as she held my hand to sit beside her
"Yes.. We will support you always! For now, let's eat dahil nagugutom na talaga ako" Mama and I laughed when Papa pout his lips and rub his stomach.
"Manang dito kana oh, sabayan mo na kami" umupo na din si manang Allison. And then we eat happily together.
