Ano ba kailangan para masabing isang mabuting magulang ang isang magulang?

Walang perpektong tao, kaya wala ring perpektong magulang. Alam ko na iyon simula pa lang. Sa taliwas na ugali namin ni mama, at paraan ng pagpapalaki ni papa sa dalawa kong kuya, alam kong malayong malayo sila sa pamantayan.  

"Ang bait naman ng magulang nito," bulong ko sa sarili habang nagta-type ng rough translation. Paniguradong nasa huling mga chapters na ako ng tina-translate dahil patungo na sa happy ending ang mga characters. 

Napatingin ako sa oras sandali.

Mahaba pa.

Isang achievement sa akin ang makatapos ng walang pressure, siguro ay dahil yung dalawang malakihang project ko naman ay hangga't may napapakita akong progress ay hindi manggigisa. 

Well, maliban kay Mr. Lee. May times kasi na tinotopak siya at minsan, may nasasabi. Katulad na lang ng...

"Are you really serious about this?"

"You were the one who proposed this deal, right?"

"This is... it?"

"A fish can draw better than this."

Mr. Lee is a perfectionist when it comes to his work. Well, HIS brother's work to be more specific. Gets ko naman iyon, pero ang sarap, sarap lang talaga niya masamplean minsan. 

Iniisip ko tuloy kung anong klaseng magulang ang meron siya? Sila ni Sung Min? Sa tindig at tono niya kapag nakikipag-usap, ramdam ko nang nanggaling sila sa mayamang pamilya. 

Alam na alam ko na naman iyon. 

Napatigil ako sa pagta-type nang biglang nag notif ang e-mail ko. Agad kong nakita ang username ng nagpadala kaya agad agad ko rin iyong binuksan. 


Dear Ms. Magtibay, 

I hope you are doing great! I've already read your request regarding featuring one more memoir for the upcoming exhibition. This email contains my answer and some of my conditions.

My answer to your request is yes; we can put another one of your works on display. I respect your desire to share a masterpiece with our audience. I have no doubt it's going to be fantastic and will fit right in with the vibe we're going for. I wish you all the best in creating it.

However, we can't put it up for charity auction anymore. It was a first-come, first-serve matter, unless one contributor withdraws their slot. Don't worry; I'll gladly inform you if a slot becomes available suddenly. But who knows? Maybe if you manage to catch an investor's attention during the exhibit, you could secure an early purchase.

On the other note, you'll have to provide me with the name of the added artwork and a brief description of it so we can inform our docent. If you need any help or clarification, please feel free to message me. I'm more than willing to answer your questions.
