3 Chapter 3 - Mrs. P
Chea's POV
"Welcome Back Chea!" they greeted me when I entered the door in our house.
I simply smiled at them.
"Thank you" I said.
Finally, I'm here in Capiz. It's so nice to be back in your hometown.
There were lots of changes here in Capiz, the plaza, the wet market, roads, houses, restaurants, and many more.
"How's your trip Chea?" Tita Lanie asked. Tita Lanie was the sister of my father.
"It's fine Tita. I didn't enjoy it because I'm excited to go home"
They all laughed. My families were here to welcome me, not all my families of course, it's not a family reunion, I'm just coming back here after five years.
"You're prettier now Chea" Tita Minda said, my mother's sister
"Thanks Tita" I smiled again.
You smiled, but it's a fake
My cousins, nieces, nephews, Tito's and Tita's greeted me for my comeback.
"Everyone, let's eat!" Mama shouted.
"Chea, join us" Mama invited me
"Ma, maybe later? I want to rest first"
She smiled. I missed that smile of her.
"Okay Gha. I will call your sis to help you"
Gha was a sweet term of bisaya/hiligaynon people that refers to their loved one or the younger one
"Okay Ma" I said
Mama left to call my Sis.
"Kuya"
"Hi Miyuki!" I greeted my sister
She helped me carrying my things and of course, she will lend me the way going to my room.
"Thanks Sis" I said when we entered my room
"Kuya"
I looked at my sis.
"Yes?"
"I missed you"
I smiled at her.
"Come here" I put my bag on my bed and she came.
I hugged her so tight.
"I missed you too Sis"
My sis calling me Kuya (Big Brother) instead Ate (Elder sister) I know I was a girl but I wanted to be unique. When I grew up, I always hoping that I was born boy than girl, because a boy could do whatever they want, unlike if you're a girl, the parents were strict.
Miyuki's POV
I'm happy because my Kuya came back after five years, but I noticed that many things changed about her. The way she walks, talks, smiles, her actions and the way she wears. EVERYTHING! My Kuya before was a boyish one. She loves smiling, cracking jokes, she laughed out loud, she doesn't care at all around her, but now everything about her has changed. That's why, I'm missing my old Kuya
"Good morning!" she greeted me. I was here in the garden, sitting and watching the flowers that my Mom planted. It's very beautiful and relaxing.
"Good morning too Kuya" I smiled at her.
"Did you eat your breakfast?"
"Yup"
She sat down beside me.
"How's your school?"
"It's fine. Its a kind of difficult, but I enjoyed my schooling"
"That's great. This is the first time that I saw our house, and I loved the design. Thank you for following my instructions"
"Welcome Kuya. How about you?"
"Well, I'm absolutely fine but I'm used to wear disguise outfits when I want to go to the mall"
"Is it difficult to be a popular writer?"
"Hmm" she looked at our garden. I saw her smile again, but it doesn't like the old smiles that I like about her. The view was relaxing. "Maybe, it's not difficult to be a writer, but since I am a popular writer right now, I can say that its very hard" she answered
"Why?" I asked curiously.
She held my hand. And said,
"Because many people will judge you if they didn't like the ending of the story or I didn't say Hello or Hi to them every time they see me and this current issue that I am a brat, play girl or whatever issues that they are throwing me, but I do not mind them"
"Then, then stop being a writer Kuya"
"I can't" she laughed
"Why?"
"Because I love writing stories and I want to save money for our future and of course to the dreams of Papa" I sighed.
She was punishing herself too much because of what happened to Papa, our father.
"Kuya, what can you ask for more? You build our dream house, you're a writer and three years from now, I will be graduating. It's time to resign and find your happiness"
"Yuki" she said my name with a sad tone
"I'm not a kid anymore. I'm observing your actions. You're staying two days here, but you didn't go out to relax. You're having your vacation right?" I said with full of confidence. Maybe it could change her mind, right?
She nodded.
"Then, make your vacation happy and you must enjoy it with us"
"Okay. Tsk! You are now a lady. Tss" She smiled
"Then, where are you going today?" I asked her, I want her to have time for herself. She was really tried her best to support me and Mama.
"Hmm. Maybe in Robinsons Mall?"
"Good. Then, go upstairs" I commanded her
"You want to join me?" She asked. I just shook my head
"Why? You said earlier that I must enjoy my vacation leave here, but you don't want to come with me?" She said while pouting.
Awwww! She's cute and yes! Old Chea Danielle Delavin is back!
"Kuya, I mean, you must take a break for a while without us, you know. I mean date yourself, just for today"
"Hmm" She's thinking, but I will still convince her. "Okay! think it's a good idea. What do you want?pasalubong?" she asked me and my eyes were sparkling
"Yes!" I said excitedly
"What kind of pasalubong?"
"It's up to you"
"Okay, I'll be going"
Then, she left me. I sighed. She is now a girly one. She was a chubby five years ago, but now she is petite. Her hair was black but now, it's a tangerine hair. Even her boobs, its bigger now! She's hot and sexy. I am proud of my Big sis, but I want her to be happy. She's 25 years old and single. I think, it is the right time to find her right guy.
Chea's POV
I just arrived here in Robinsons Mall. Thank God people didn't recognize me. I'm not wearing my disguise outfit, but there were some people looking at me.
Hmm? Where I should go? Ah! Maybe in Department Store, I'm going to buy Chuck Taylor shoes to add my collections. Yes! I have collections of Chuck Taylor shoes, I love it! Uh-Oh! I'm going back to my old self.
"Then, make your vacation happy and you must enjoy it with us"
I remembered what my little sis told me.
Your sister was right. Okay Chea, just for this day. Just for today be yourself.
After I chose my Batman Chuck Taylor Shoes, I went to the cashier to pay.
"Good morning Ma'am" the cashier greeted the lady in front of me
"Good morning too"
I saw that she bought a pair of basketball shoes. When I was getting my wallet on my bag, I heard something so I looked at it.
The lady paper bags have fallen. I helped her.
"Thank you Miss" she said to me while smiling.
"You are welcome" I said
After that, the cashier said "Thank you Ma'am". Then, the lady left the counter.
"Good morning Ma'am" the cashier greeted me too
"Good morning too" I greeted her back
"Thank you" I said after the cashier put the shoes on a paper bag.
I will be going out when I felt that I stepped something on my foot. I saw a ring and I picked it.
Oh! Maybe this ring belongs to the lady. Maybe, I will go to the Lost and Found Department later. I put it in my bag.
Hmm. Next stop? Ah! My favorite fast food chain.
I went out in the Department Store and went to fast food place.
I ordered 2 pcs. Spicy Fried Chicken, Rice, Large soft drinks and large fries. I missed this, when I was in Manila, I can't eat my favorite because my coach was strict with my diet plan. But now, he's not here and I will make sure that I'll be working out to burn fats.
I got the spoon and fork and I'm ready to eat, but...
"Excuse me?"
I looked at a lady who asked me while she's holding a tray.
"Oh. It's you again. Do you have colleague with you?"
I remembered her, she was in front of me in the cashier section.
"I don't have po" I said,
"Po' meaning added to sentences in order to show respect to older people.
"Can I share with your table? There are no vacant seats"
I looked around. Many people occupied the tables and seats.
"Of course" I said and she sat and placed the tray on the table. We're facing each other and we started to eat.
"Oh My God" she exclaimed
I was shocked when she shouted. Many customers were looking to us but the lady didn't care.
"I'm sorry Miss" she apollogitically said
"It's okay po. Is there something wrong?" I saw her sad face looking her fingers.
"My wedding ring was lost"
Oh! I suddenly remembered the ring. I got it on my bag and asked her.
"Excuse me po, is this your ring?" she suddenly looked at me.
"Yes! That's mine!" she said happy when she saw her ring. I gave it to her.
"Thank you Miss for returning my ring"
"Welcome po. I'm planning to go to the Lost and Found to give it after eating"
"I owe you. By the way, what's your name?" she asked me while putting her ring on her second finger.
"I'm CD" Abbreviation of my name. That's what I introduced myself to other people when they didn't recognize me.
"CD? Compact Disc?" She asked me while frowing. I chuckled.
"It's not po, it just my abbreviation of my name po"
She smiled. "I thought it was, I'm sorry, but nice name. I'm Mrs. P"
It looked like she loved abbreviation too.
"Nice to meet you Mrs. P" we shook our hands.
"If you don't mind, how old are you?" she asked me while we were eating.
"I'm 25 years old po. How about you Mrs. P?"
"I'm 52"
My eyes became wide.
"You're so young for your age" I said that I couldn't believe it. She looked like she's 40.
She jusy chuckled. "Thank you CD"
I smiled again. "You are welcome Mrs. P"
"Sorry for being talkative"
"It's okay Mrs. P. My Mama is also talkative that's why I'm used to it" I said while smiling
"Oh really? That's nice. Good for you, you didn't hate your mother for being talkative. My son hates me when I'm talkative" she sounded displeasure.
I laughed. She's so cute like my Mama.
"It seems that your son is a serious type boy" I said and I sipped my soft drinks
"You're right. He doesn't know how to smile"
Just like Sungit. Tss! Nevermind! Why I was thinking him?
The term "serious" reminds him of you.
Damn my mind. I just smiled.
"What's your work?" she asked.
"I am an author Mrs. P"
"Really? Nice job. Writer is in demand right now"
I smiled again and asked her.
"What's your work Mrs. P?"
I'm curious. Mrs.P is gorgeous and pretty.
"Ah. I'm a psychiatrist" She answered. "Can I get your phone number? If it's okay with you" she asked me of all a sudden, if I don't give my number, maybe she will feel that I'm rude.
"Sure Mrs. P" She gave her phone to me and I put my number.
"Thanks again CD. I have to go. My son already texted me, he wants his shoes now. Very demanding, just like his Dad" she said while getting her paper bags.
"Oh. Is he a basketball player?" I asked
"Yes CK, he's a PBA player"
Player.
"Good Bye Mrs. P" I said waving at her
"Good Bye CD! Nice to meet you again"
Then, she left.
