CHAPTER 7

Alex is been thinking of andrea for almost a week,at isang linggo na din ang nakakaraan mula ng mapadpad ang dalaga sa kanyang bahay sa bukirin.
There is this part of him na gusto nyang makita ulit ang dalaga,pero pinipigilan nya eto.

"Hey dad im home"
Sigaw ni alex sa pintuan ng kanilang bahay,napag pasyahan nitong dalawin ang kanyang mga magulang.

"O hijo buti naman napag isipan mo pang dalawin kame ng papa mo?
Nagtatampong bungad ng kanyang ina
Mag isang anak lang si alex kayat kung ituring ito animoy teen ager.

"Sorry mom,you know how busy i am in the field,sabi nito at yumakap sa ina.

"Where is dad? May importante daw kaming pag uusapan"

"Your dad is in his study room,go upstairs and talk to him,this seems serious hijo"

"What do you mean mom? Is it about the bussiness again?
Kunit nuong tanong nito.

"Better go talk to your dad son"

Nagtungo na sya sa taas para ountahan ang kanyang ama.

"Hey dad,im here"
Wika nito na papalapit sa ama.

"Oh son,come sit,na tinuro angbupuan sa harap nya.

"What important things that youbwant tondiscuss about?
Tanong sa ama.

"Son as you can see,matanda ka na,you are already twenty nine,and i think its time for you to settle down.
Seryosong sabi ng matanda.

"What? Dad is that what you want to duscuss about? Look dad nag byahe ako from province to manila kasi akala ko importante ang sasabihin mo"

"Alex anak matanda na din kami ng mama mo,and we want to see you settle,and also we want to see our grandchildren,bago manlang kame mawala dito sa mundo"

"And you are our own child na makakapag bigay samin ng apo,anak naman kahit ba naman yun hindi mo kayang ibigay samin,o ipadama ang pagiging lolo at lola samin ng mama mo?
Mahabang litanya ng ama.

"Dad i've told you before,im not into it yet,at wala pa sa plano ko ang mag asawa"

"But you should think na hindi ka na bumabata,you need someone to make you more happy,u need to make your own family"

"Dad im happy for what i have now,and siguro its not time for me to make a plan of having family"

"Happy? Yeah,i heard that mae is always at your place?
"Are you back together?
Pag tatakang tanong nito.

"No she is not my girl anymore"
Sagot nito na naka simangot.

"Ok you're pushing me son,i will give you atleast five months to marry a woman,or else i will have to sell your farm"
Wika ng ama sa seryosong tinig.

"Oh cmon dad,why do you have to do this? Alam mo naman kung gaano ko kamahal ang farm.

"Thats why im telling you what to do,you wanna keep the farm? Well then follow what im telling you son"
Nakangising saad ng ama.

"Ok fine,i will try,tama din naman kayo,and wish me luck for that"
Sagot nalang nya sa amang mapaniguro,tutal totoo naman ang sinabi nito.

Isa pa may nag lalaro na sa isipan nito tungkol sa babaeng gusto nyang pakasalan,yun ay kung papalarin sya.
