-recap-

Gerald: Ms. Chiu, from this point until the end of my life, I vow to always stay by your side and love no one else but you. I love you Ms. Kimberly Sue Yap Chiu. Will you be my girlfriend? Not just for a night but until the day we decide to be husband and wife.

Kim: Yes! Yes! I will be your girlfriend.

Gerald can’t contain his happiness so he kissed Kim. Since there are a lot of people on the plane, Kim stopped the kiss shortly.

Kim: Ano k aba Ge, nakakahiya. Ang daming tao oh.

Gerald: Sorry, nadala lang ako. Sobrag saya ko lang kasi. Finally, you really are mine.

Kim: Yes Ge. I’m yours.

-end of recap-

The whole flight was nothing but blissful for the couple. Finally, after their long journey they can feel happiness. Something that they thought they would never feel again.

Kim: Ge…

Gerald: Oh? Bakit?

Kim: Saan ka tutuloy sa California? Paano ang graduation? Paano sila Mang Cardo? Anong sabi ng parents mo?

Gerald: Teka. Dahan-dahan lang ang tanong.

Kim: Sorry. Cuious lang ako kasi sabi mo biglaan itong plano mo diba.

Gerald: Ok lang yun. Ok lang kina Mama na pumunta akong California kasi mas convenient yun dahil pwede na kaming magkita kita when we have time. Mas malapit ang California sa New York kesa sa Philippines kaya masaya si Mama. As for the place to stay, may bahay kami dun or kung gusto mo sa inyo na lang ako makituloy.

With Gerald’s grin Kim slapped Gerald’s arm.

Gerald: OUCH! What was that for?

Kim: Ano ka ba?! Mahiya ka naman. Hindi ka pa nga kilala ng lola ko tapos makikituloy ka sa bahay niya.

Gerald: eh di ipakilala mo ako. I’m pretty sure papayag naman yun eh. Sa gwapo at bait kong ito. Good catch kaya ako kahit mga lola approve sa akin.

Kim: Eh kung hindi ka naman sukdulan ng yabang.

As she was saying this she pinched Gerald’s nose.

Gerald: Mahal mo naman.

Kim: Masyado kang sure sa sarili mo. Paano pag nakakita ako ng iba? Sige nga!

Gerald: Wag ganun! Bubulagin na lang kita para wala ka ng Makita pang iba.

Kim: OA lang! Masyado ka namang bayolente. Bubulagin mo ako? OUCH.

Pretending to be hurt.

Gerald: Syempre joke lang yun. Di kaya kita kayang saktan. Kahit ilang lamok papatayin ko wag ka lang makagat. Kahit ilang bato itatapon ko para lang hindi ka na matalapid. Kahit ilang glass wall titibagin ko para hindi ka na mabangga. Kahit ilang…

Before Gerald can even finish what he wanted to say Kim placed her hand over his mouth.

Kim: Opppsss… Stop! Tama na. Gets ko na.

And Kim took her hand from Gerald’s mouth then they began laughing.

Gerald: Ngayon alam mo na kung gaano kita aalagaan. Ang swerte mo sa boyfriend mo diba. Bukod sa gwapo na, mabait, maalagain at matalino pa. Saan ka pa?

Kim: Kailan kaya magiging humble yung boyfriend kong yun noh? Sobrang hangin kasi nadadala ako!

They kept on teasing each other and laughing until their plane landed. They got Kim’s luggage and went to look for Kim’s lola. As they were walking, they saw an old lady followed by two guys in black suit coming to them.

When Kim saw the old lady, she came running and hugged her.

Kim: Mamita!

Mamita: Kim! Apo!

Gerald was left with the luggage and just followed Kim.

Kim: I missed you Mamita.

Mamita: I missed you so much apo. Buti tinanggap mo offer ko na ditto ka na mag-aral.

Kim: Matatanggihan ko po ba naman kayo Mamita. Syempre hindi, love kita eh.

Mamita: Naku, binola mo pa ako. Ang pagkakasabi sa akin ng papa mo may problema ka daw kaya mo tinanggap yung offer ko. Anong problema ba yun at kinailangan mo pang magtago dito?

When Mamita said this Kim remembered that she was with Gerald so she looked for him and saw that he was standing behind her.

Gerald was polite enough to greet Mamita.

Gerald: Good day Mrs. Chiu.

Mamita scanned Gerald from head to toe and greeted him as well.

Mamita: Good day to you too young man. Might I ask who you are?

Gerald: My name is Gerald Ma’am. I came with Kimmy from the Philippines. I’m her boy…

This time Kim stopped Gerald and answered instead.

Kim: Ah, Mamita. Let me introduce my boyfriend Gerald Anderson.

Mamita was shocked to hear this. All along she thought that Kim didn’t have a boyfriend and now she is introducing her boyfriend.

Mamita: Is this true? Akala ko ba wala kang boyfriend? Alam ba ito ng parents mo?

Kim: Ahh, Mamita I’ll tell you the story later but please. Can we eat first. Gutom na po talaga ako.

Mamita: Ok, but you better have a great explanation young lady.

She looked at Gerald.

Mamita: And you, Gerald right? You look like a nice boy and since you’re my apo’s boyfriend I don’t want you to have a difficult time. Kaya ibigay mo na yang mga bagahe ni Kim sa mga body guards ko sila na ang bahala diyan.

Gerald: Thanks po, pero ok lang pong ako na ang magdala. Magaan lang naman po saka gusto ko pong pagsilbihan ang apo niyo.

Gerad looked at Kim with his heart melting smile which made Kim blush.

Mamita: Aba Kim. Mukhang maswerte ka sa boyfriend mong ito. Sige kung yan ang gusto mo, pero hayaan mong tulungan ka nila para mapabilis tayo.

Gerald: Sige po. Salamat po.

All of them headed towards the car and went to a restaurant to eat. And Mamita’s interrogation started once again.

Mamita: Kim, Since when did you have a boyfriend?

Kim: Mamita, it was just when we were at the plane.

Mamita: So you mean to say just a few hours ago right? Why was he with you on the plane?

Kim was abou to speak when Gerald held her hand and said.

Gerald: I’ll answer this one. Mrs. Chiu.

Mamita: Stop calling me Mrs. Chiu. It makes me sound too old. Just call me Mamita.

Gerald: Mamita, I only knew about Kim’s departure an hour before flight. So I decided to come with her, because all I know is I can’t live without your apo.

Mamita: An hour before and you still got a ticket on the same flight?

Gerald: Ahhh, well, my family has connections so I called my mom to arrange my flight.

Mamita: From what I’m hearing you are from a wealthy family to have such connections. What is your family name again?

Gerald: I’m an Anderson Mamita.

Mamita: You mean THE Anderson from RJA Group of Companies? You’re Randy’s son?

Gerald: Ah so you know my family’s business. Yes, he’s my dad. Might I ask how you know him?

Mamita: Who wouldn’t know him? He is big in the business industry. We worked together once and I must say, he really is a great man.

Gerald: Thank you for your kind words about my dad. I’ll tell him what you said once we talk with each other.

Mamita: Say hi to him for me. Tell him it’s from Petula Chiu I’m pretty sure he’ll remember me.

Gerald: I’ll be sure to tell him Mamita.

Mamita: By the way, does Frank and Celine know about this yet?

Kim: Mamita, we plan on telling them once we landed but since we needed to explain to you first I forgot about it.

Mamita: ok I understand. Pero I’m sure magtatampo yun pag nalaman nilang naunahan ko silang malaman kaya habang wala pa ang pagkain tawagan niyo na sila para sabihin sa kanila.

Kim: Ok Mamita.

Gerald held Kim’s hand.

Gerald: Gusto mo ako na lang ang kumausap?

Kim: No. Let me. Gusto ko din na sa akin manggaling.

Gerald: Ok, pero kung kailangan mo ako ditto lang ako.

Kim nodded and started to dial her dad’s number. After a few rings Frank answered.

Frank: Hello, Kim anak. Kamusta ang byahe? Kasama mo na ba si Mama?

Kim: Hi dad. Masaya naman po yung byahe. Opo kasama kop o si Mamita. Ah dad, si mama po ba kasama niyo?

Frank: Oo, katabi ko siya ngayon.

Kim: Dad, pwede niyo po bang I loudspeaker. May sasabihin po kasi ako, gusto ko sabay niyong marinig.

Frank: ok na, naka loud speaker na. Teka, ano ba yang sasabihin mo at parang napaka seryoso naman ata.

Celine: Anak, kung gusto mo susunod na kami ng Dad mo diyan? Or kung gusto mo ng umuwi ok lang. Ikukuha ka na naming ng flight.

Kim: Ma, hindi po sa ganun.

Frank: Celine, let Kim talk first. Sige Kim, what do you want to say?

Kim: Kasama ko po si Gerald ngayon.

Gerald: Hello po tito, tita.

Celine: Anong ginagawa ni Gerald diyan?

Kim: Yun na nga po ang gusto kong sabihin. Ano po kasi. Sinundan po ako ni Gerald sa flight ko. Kasama ko po siya sa eroplanong umalis.

Frank: Are you about to tell us that Gerald is already your boyfriend?

Celine: Really anak?! Wow! Congrats! Finally!

Kim: Dad, paano niyo po nalaman?

Frank: Syempre, walang lalaking susunod sa isang babae papuntang ibang bansa ng wala lang. And I also know how much he loves you and I also know how much you love him kaya it was inevitable that somehow, you’ll end up together.

Kim: Paano niyo nalamang mahal ko si Ge?

Celine: Anak naman. Magulang mo kami. Kilalang kilala ka na namin.

Kim: So hindi po kayo galit?

Frank: Bakit naman kami magagalit kung si Gerald naman ang boyfriend mo. Para na naming anak yang batang yan at alam namin na hindi ka niya sasaktan.

Celine: At saka anak naman. Ilang taong nanligaw si Gerald sayo tama lang na sinagot mo na siya.

Kim: Thanks po ma, dad. Love you so much.

Frank and Celine: We love you too.

Kim: Sige po, I just called to tell you that. Mahal na din po ang tawag na ito.

Frank: Sige, ingat. Pero pwedebang ibigay mo muna kay Gerald ang phone? Kakausapin ko lang siya ng sandali.

Kim: Ok po.

Kim gave Gerald her phone and mouthed.

Kim: Gusto kang kausapin ni daddy.

Gerald accepted the phone.

Gerald: Hello po tito.

Frank: Gerald, congrats at after ilang taon napasagot mo na din sa wakas ang prinsesa ko.

Gerald: Oo nga po tito eh. Buti napasaogt ko na ang prinsesa.

Frank: Alagaan mo yan ha. Wag mong sasaktan yan. Kundi ako ang mananakit say o.

Gerald: Syempre naman po tito. Masasaktan lang ito pag ayaw gumising.

The both of them laughed while on the phone.

Frank: Teka, saan ka nga pala tutuloy diyan sa California? Gusto mo kausapin ko si Mama para dun ka na lang patirahin kung wala kang tutuluyan diyan.

Gerald: Naku tito wag na po. That’s too much. Saka may bahay naman po kami ditto kaya ok lang.

Frank: Ahh ganun pa. Maigi naman. O sha, kampante na ako na kahit malayo ang prinsesa ko sa amin ay may mag aalaga sa kanya.

Gerald: Makakaasa po kayo tito. Ako ang bahala sa prinsesa natin.

Frank: Sige, mag-ingat kayo diyan.

Gerald: Sige po tito. Salamat din po sa tiwala.

Then they ended the call.

Gerald returned the phone to Kim with a smile on his lips.

Kim: Oh? Anong sabi ni daddy?

Gerald: Secret na naming yun.

Kim: EEEEHHH!!! Ano kasi yun?

Gerald: Bawal sabihin. Amin na lang yun.

Kim: Fine!

Mamita: Ititgil niyo na yan at nandito na ang pagkain.

The two of them stopped bickering and started to eat.

The whole time they were eating they were actively talking and sharing stories with Mamita and there she saw how the two kids love each other.
