"Buzzzzz buzzzzz buzzzz"
I opened my eyes when my phone disturb my beautiful dream in a dreamland. Sino na naman ba ang tumatawag sa oras na to? it's too early in the morning! Extending my hands to get my phone in the bedside table, when I get it I swipe the answer button and answering without looking who's the caller.
"Hello?" I asked in an annoyed voice.
"¡levantese, Cy! Voso trossois estará tarde en vuestrodía primero novio." I heard my mama's spanish sweet voice in the other side.
Get up Cy! you're going to be late in your first day sweetie.
As usual I already get to it already, every morning my mamá will just call me so let's say she's my alarm clock ha ha.
"Mamá visto bueno." sagot ko at ako na ang pumatay sa tawag.
Okay mamá
Maybe you are wondering why we are speaking Spanish right? Let me introduce myself.
I am Cymonne Andoni de Luciá, nineteen years old, second year college and half pinoy half Spanish. I grow up in Valencia, Spain but my mama teach me how to speak tagalog since I was child. And good thing because here we are living in the Philippines now after we migrate for good. There's a reason behind all of these and it's not the time to tell that story yet.
Pagkatapos kong maligo, I wear something comfortable. Oh, right now I don't want to wear that fancy uniform for now. Nasa kalagitnaan na ang klase sa taong ito and besides I have no choice than transfer in a strange school for me.
I get my bag in its place and the cap that mom brought for me before we migrate. I stare at myself in the mirror, again I saw the beautiful face and hazel eyes again, a face like a woman. I just smile and shook my head.
I hope everything will be fine.
While walking down the stairs I saw my mom walking towards the edge of the stair. Both hands in her waist, with an arched eyebrows.
"¡apresurese! Cymonne." mama said after I kiss her both cheeks.
Hurry! Cymonne
"Good m-" I stop when I receive a glare from her. Oh yeah! the rule again. In this house Spanish is our language, in the outside it's up to us what will we used. Well, obviously of course we should speak tagalog nor english.
"Buenos días Mamá." I greeted her, inakbayan ko siya habang papunta kami sa dining area.
Good morning mamá
"Buenos días también un novio, desayuno está listo." she greeted back.
Good morning too sweetie, breakfast is ready.
The aroma of her pasta salad filled my nostrils. I smiled when I saw my favorite, mama is always cook this for me.
"Gracias Mama." I said and kissed her right cheek after she sat down beside me.
She just patted my shoulder and give me her sweet smile.
"Simplemente coma mi hijo, te dejaré caer a vuestra nueva escuela. Estoy bueno allí bien?, no haga cualquier disgusto, pero si alguien os echará a perder, me dirá y los emplearé completamente." She said seriously.. again. My overprotective mama.
Just eat my son, I'll dropped you to your school. Be good there okay? Don't make any trouble but if someone will hurt you, tell me and I'll hunt them all.
Hindi ko mapigilang mapa roll eyes sa sinabi niya, though I understand her.
"Nadie debariá echar a perder mi hijo precioso" My mama added.
No one should hurt my precious son.
I just shrugged my shoulder and continue eating, wala na akong narinig pa mula sa kanya.
"Tomorrow you will have your own car, just like your car in Valencia." Agad akong napabaling kay mama nang sabihin niya iyon. I thought I will not have any car yet because I'm not familiar in this place? then bakit ganito ang sinasabi ni mama?
Seems like she understands my expression because she started to talk again.
"Lo siento amor, I need to came back in Spain again. I just need to arrange some things about our business there. I planned to build a new branch of our clothing line here."
I'm sorry sweetie,
Inabot ko ang kamay ni mama habang nagmamaneho, pinisil ko ito at binigyan ng matamis na ngiti.
"Entiendo Mama, don't worry about me."
I understand mama,
"Thank you my son, but anyway you will have your driver since hindi mo pa kabisado ang lugar na ito." I sigh as a relief, mabuti naman kung ganun dahil baka ilang kilometro palang ako mula sa bahay hindi ko na alam ang bumalik.
"When will you leave mama?" I asked as I shift my gaze towards the houses as we passed by.
"Tomorrow morning sweetie." I nodded.
After ten minutes, mama stopped the car and there I saw a huge gate. Many students is entering the gate.
Mcknight College University
I turned my gaze to my mama, she's smiling.
"Enjoy your first day my son, just go to the Deans office. Tell her your name, and she will guide. She knows me so I know that she will guide you." Mama patted my shoulder at inayos ang collar ng polo ko kahit maayos naman.
I hugged mama and wear my cap before I go out.
"Mi hijo de Goodluck." I heard her say.
Goodluck my son.
Binaba ni mama ang bintana ng kotse at kumaway, I waved back too before I enter the school
