"Sarap naman! Where'd you learn how to cook?" I asked as I chowed down the fish fillet that Denver made as our lunch.
"Sa papa ko," sabi pa ni Denver sabay lapag ng bowl sa sahig para kay Moo. Gaya ko, lamon agad ng lamon si Moo.
"S-so you're pretty close with your Dad?" I asked, being careful with my words so that I won't seem to intruding. I mean Denver seems like a really private person who doesn't like to talk about pretty personal stuff.
"Noon," pag-amin ni Denver.
"H-he's Warren's Dad too right?" tanong ko.
Tumango naman si Denver at napahinto sa paggalaw ng kanyang kubyertos. "Nga pala, di ka ba tinuruang magluto ng mga magulang mo?" pag-iiba niya ng usapan. See, ayaw niya talagang pag-usapan ang pamilya niya. I guess it's too personal. Mas mabuti pang wag nalang akong makialam.
"Mama says I could get hurt from cooking so she didn't really teach me anything. I only learned how to cook rice and egg from Piper," pag-amin ko sabay ngiti para naman gumaan-gaan ang mood sa pagitan namin.
"Eh paano naman sa mga yaya mo? Wala ka bang natutunan sa kanila?" usisa pa ni Denver.
"We never had a nanny. Mama doesn't really trust strangers taking care of us, she was a really hands on type of Mom. Mama was also a teacher at our old elementary school, sabay kami lagi kung umalis at umuwi, even kumain," paliwanag ko.
"That explains it," Denver said, as if he realized something.
"What?" tanong ko, completely clueless. What's new nga naman.
"You, being big old baby," Denver concluded with a smirk.
Napabuntong-hininga ako sa kahihiyan. "I'm not a baby. And hey, I'm only 18! I'm 18 and confused with life, that's just it." giit ko.
"Pati ba ang kuya mo overprotective din?" tanong ni Denver.
"I think he had no choice, siya kasi ang pinagagalitan sa tuwing napapahamak ako o kaya may nagagawa akong mali. I love my parents so much but sometimes, I can't help but notice how unfair their views are. They were very lenient with my brother, but when it came to me it was really different, they we're too strict and protective," napasandal ako sa kinauupuan at ngumiti. "Kuya was able to do whatever he wanted but as for me, I always had to tell them what i'll do and what i'm about to do or who i'm with. I wasn't allowed to play outdoors with the other kids and my time in the internet was limited to like 30 minutes a day. Kaya sobra akong naninibago sa freedom na meron ako ngayon, it feels liberating but at the same time I feel like i'm a fish out of water." pag-amin ko sa unang pagkakataon. I've never told anyone about this before and I don't know why i'm telling this to Denver either. Is it considered betrayal that i'm telling this to my enemy and not my friends?
