Chelsea's POV
"You should've asked me first, Ma"
"Eh.. diba the two of you are close? So 'di na ako nag-dalawang isip noong tinanong niya saamin ang address mo 'dyan.."
"Well, noon.. I mean, nevermind" I sighed and walked out of my office. It's already 6PM of Friday here so 6AM na ng Saturday doon.
"Sorry, honey" my mom said while drinking her coffee in the garden, "So where is she now?"
"She invited me over dinner tonight and she told me to meet her in the lobby of the hospital" I said, walking inside the elevator, "How's dad?"
"That's so nice of her" and smiled at me, "Ayun, tulog pa. Inabot sila ng madaling-araw sa paglilibot sa probinsya at namigay ng pamasko. Oo nga pala, naunahan kana ni Mari, anak. Ikaw kailan mo ba ako bibigyan ng Apo?"
Tumunog na ang elevator; indikasyon na nasa Ground Floor na ako pero hindi ko maihakbang ang mga paa ko, "What are you talking about, Ma?" and finally headed out dahil nakatingin na saakin yung ibang kasakay ko.
Hindi ito agad nakapagsalita, "Oh. I'm sorry anak" at napapikit, "Forget what I said"
"Wait, what—?"
Aba! Pinatayan ako ng telepono!
"Are you okay?"
I looked up and saw a pair of the lightest brown eyes that I ever saw in my life.
I cleared my throat and smiled at her, "Yes" even though sobrang confused ko pa din sa balita na isiniwalat saakin ng Nanay ko.
Si Mari? Buntis? Kailan pa?! Kanino????
Tahimik kami the whole time na bumabyahe papunta sa restaurant kung saan kami kakain. Hindi rin naman ako umiimik dahil pina-process kopa din sa utak ko yung information na nalaman ko.
Yung lukaret na 'yon buntis? Ni wala naman siyang naku-kweto saakin na lalaki? Masasabunutan ko 'yon kapag nalaman ko na totoo ang chismis at hindi man lang niya sinabi saakin. Yes, chismis palang dahil hindi pa naman napapatunayan.
"We're here" anunsiyo ni Bridgette at bumaba ng kotse at pinagbuksan ako ng car door.
"Thank you" sabi ko noong inalalayan pa ako nito sa pagbaba.
We walked towards the restaurant called Saxon + Parole. The restaurant has a equestrian theme which means horse riding; brown-ish din ang interior design nito.
We sat at the farthest seat in the resto and placed our orders. We ordered Carrot bolognese, house-made saffron pappardelle, kale pesto and spiced bread crumbs.
"How was your day?" tanong nito while staring at me.
"It's good, the same as everyday" and I chuckled, "How about yours?"
"Went out shopping for my little Jane" and she smiled sweetly, thinking about her daughter.
"What are her favorites?" bigla akong na-curious.
"First, Unicorns. Gusto daw niya yung nagpo-poop ng rainbows" and we both shared a laugh, "And then I bought her some yellow cab souvenirs. That's her favorite about New York. Whenever we come here, hindi kami pwedeng mag-rent ng car dahil gusto niyang sumakay sa mga yellow cars"
