The Five Hot Jerks

Chapter 29

Yumi's POV

"Welcome back to the Philippines" nakangiting sabi ko kay mom at dad while they're hugging me tightly, it's like a reunion, only kuya is missing

"I missed you" naiiyak na sabi ni mom bago ako pinakawalan, I pouted

"Mom naman..." naiiling kong sabi

"Your mom is just being emotional Yumi and it's true that she misses you" nakangiting sabi ni dad

"Miss ko din naman kayo ah" sabi ko and gave them a cheeky smile

Nasa airport kasi kami ngayon at kararating pa lang nila galing Japan.

"Anyway, we have to hail a cab para makasakay tayo diba?" kaagad akong umiling sa sinabi ni mom habang hila-hila ang suitcase nila

"No need to do that, I already have someone to be our driver for now" nakangisi kong sabi at nag send ng text sa 'someone' na yun

Huminto kami sa labas ng exit ng Airport at naghintay lang ng ilang segundo hanggang sa may huminto na van sa harap namin. May bumaba mula sa driver's seat and I directly smiled when I saw him.

"Timothy?" gulat na sabi ni mom, ngumiti naman kaagad si Timothy sa kanila

"Welcome, Tito and Tita" bati niya

"It's been a while since I last saw you" nakangiting sabi ni mom

"Let me help with your suitcases" sabi ni Timothy at kinuha ang mga suitcases bago binuksan ang likod ng van at doon nilagay ang mga iyon

Pinapasok ko naman kaagad sina mom at dad sa loob ng van. Sa harap ako umupo habang sina mom ay nasa likod. Si Timothy naman ang driver.

Mom kept talking about the things that I missed since I left Japan. Binigyan niya rin kami ni Timothy ng mga pasalubong. Timothy was quiet and would only speak when spoken to.

Hindi na ako nagulat. He really is quiet.

"So where will you stay for now?" tanong ko

"We will stay at your condo later, uuwi din kaagad kami ng Baguio" excited pa na sabi ni mom

"How's your parents hijo?" tanong ni dad kay Timothy, tinignan ni Timothy si dad through the rear view mirror

Dad knows them?

"They're doing good Tito, mag r-retire na rin si dad after I graduate" sabi ni Timothy, napatango lang si dad sa sinabi ni Timothy

"Actually, they want to have dinner with you later sa bahay kung pwede and if you have time" dagdag ni Timothy

"Of course we'll have dinner with them, it's been a long time since we last saw each other" napatango naman si dad sa sinabi ni mom

It looks like magkakilala nga ang parents ko at ang parents ni Timothy. Is that why they didn't react when I told them about him being my boyfriend?

Nakarating na rin kami sa condo. Tinulungan namin sila sa mga bagahe nila papunta sa unit ko so they won't have a hard time. They stayed at the other room inside my unit and didn't bother taking their things out of the suitcase dahil uuwi nga daw sila agad sa Baguio.

Hinatid lang kami ni Timothy sa unit at kaagad in namaalam para sabihan ang parents niya. Babalik lang daw siya mamaya para kunin kami.

"I really like Timothy for you Yumi" ngumiti ako sa sinabi ni mom

Natulog lang saglit sina mom at dad dahil may jetlag pa daw sila pagkatapos ay naghanda naman agad sila para sa dinner na magaganap sa mansion ng mga Ferrer.

I only wore a white polo na hanggang siko ang sleeves and a blue skirt. I paired it with sandals that JS gave me when she helped me choose a gown for Timothy's birthday.

I felt my phone vibrating inside my purse kaya kinuha ko iyon. I smiled when I saw Timothy's text

My Future Husband:

OTW. Please don't make yourself too pretty. You don't want me jealous.

Hindi ako ang nag set ng name niya sa contacts ko. He got mad dahil boyfriend ko na siya pero 'Timothy' parin ang pangalan niya sa contacts ko. And he didn't talk to me the whole day because of that.

Such a baby.

When my parents were ready, inaya ko na silang bumaba para salubungin si Timothy at para hindi na rin siya pumunta sa unit ko.

Kakalabas pa lang namin sa harap ng building nang may pumaradang itim van sa harap namin.

Ang bilis naman ata ni Timothy.

I was about to step closer para buksan ang pinto nang may lumabas na mga lalake na naka mask. Kaagad kong tinulak sina mom at dad papunta sa entrance ng building

"Run!" sigaw ko at akmang tatakbo na rin nang may humila sa buhok ko at tinakpan ang ilong at bibig ko ng handkerchief

Kaagad kong naamoy ang pampatulog na nakalagay doon. Then everything went black.
