Chitchat Over Dinner
As I was writing this, I was smiling from ear to ear. I just remember my daughter and I's conversation over dinner. Her father was not with us when we had our dinner because he was still at their office having a meeting with his boss regarding the upcoming projects that would be given to him.
Okay, moving on with the said conversation, we were savoring the food that was in front of us, which was roasted chicken that I bought outside the subdivision. Like I was saying, we were having a feast when my daughter suddenly said,
"Ma, Sabrina and her girlfriend broke up."
"Why, I thought they were going to last because Sab really loved her girlfriend, right?" I can see it on her Facebook post. Why? What happened?
"Sabrina told us that she doesn't feel it anymore." It's like there's no more spark whenever she's with her girlfriend. "
"That's sad, but somehow good also because she can now focus on her studies."
Yeah, that's what she also told us, that they both had no time for each other."
No anak, she just doesn't love her anymore because if she did, no matter how busy they were, she would not break up with her. The love isn't there anymore. That's why.
"How about Lyka and Alyssa?"
"Baw Mama, matibay pa sa matibay yun. Lagi lang yun nag-aaway pero hindi yun maghihiwalay."(Those two will never break up, even though they often fight.)
Then she suddenly said,
This part will be tagalog, pardon me for those english readers but I will try to put english version, hehe.
"Ako kaya Ma, when kaya makafeel na I am tired na, that I don't love him na. That there is no spark between us na. "
Then she looked at me and we both laugh!
"Why anak, do you not like someone nowadays? "
"I have someone that I like Ma, si ano yung kinuwento ko sayo. "
"Eh what's the problem, he does not like you?"
"No, it's not like that. Feeling ko nga like nya ako eh. "
"Eh anong problema? "
"I could not imagine myself being with him. Parang di ko feel. Nakicringe ako." She said that with action lol!
And then we both laugh again! Lol!
Then I told her na she can have a boyfriend naman na. Basta lang na dito sya sa bahay ligawan and di yung malaman laman ko na lang na may boyfriend na pala sya na hindi ko man lang nakita ni anino ng guy. And I also told her na doon nya malaman na marunong rumespeto ang guy at sincere sa kanya. Ayoko nun magkakaligawan lang thru chat and then sila na. Where's the sincerity on that? Although meron naman talaga na sincere but still, iba pa din yung nililigawan or inaakyat ng ligaw sa bahay.
Then I told her,
"Anak, giving you permission to have a boyfriend doesn't mean na okay na sa akin na magkaboyfriend ka. Mas gusto ko pa din na makapagtapos ka mina ng pag-aaral before ka magboyfriend."
"I know Ma, lagi mo yan sinasabi sa akin kaya di ko nakakalimutan."
"And isa pa anak, what if mabuntis ka ng di ka man lang nakatapos, gusto mo ba matulad sa kababata mo?"
"Of course not Mama, gusto ko maenjoy ang life muna noh."
"Tama yan, saka tandaan mo to kapag ikaw nabuntis ng wala sa oras, di kita tutulungan sa pag-aalaga ng anak mo. Ginusto mo yan kaya matuto ka."
Then she laugh, lol! Kaloka, tinawanan lang ako!
"It will not happen Mama, like I always told you, ako yung magiging yayamanin na Tita/pinsan na tutulong sa mga pamangkin/pinsan ko."
"Good."
And we ended the conversation with a good laugh. ..
That's what I like about my daughter. Very open sya sa akin sa pagsasabi ng mga bagay bagay sa life nya. Ganoon lagi kasi sinasabi ko sa kanya. Na wag mahiya magsabi ng nararamdaman nya kasi di lang ako isang ina, kaibigan din ako.....
And so we both had a full stomach and a happy heart. That conversation made our meal so tasty.
