CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX: WILL YOU MARRY ME?

Thirdy

“I DON'T think this is a good idea, Thirdy. Maybe it's too early to introduce Ford to your whole clan.” Hindi ko napigilan ang sarili ko na matawa sa sa mga nasabi ni Jeni sa akin. Sumimangot siya saka binalingan ng tingin ang anak namin. “Will they reject him?”

Umiling ako.

The last talked I had with Mama was two days and she said, she's excited to see Ford. It was as if my child was her first grandchild. My parents have many grandchildren - three with Kuya Dawson, two with Kuya Clarence. My child is their sixth grandchild and another kid that will continue our line up to the next generations of lawyers and doctors.

“They will never do that,”

“They did with me and I am Ford's mother. I am the woman your mom despise.”

“That was before. Things change now, Jeni. You don't need to mingle with them.” Masuyo kong hinawakan ang kanyang mga kamay. “Kakain lang tayo kasabay nila tapos. . .”

“Tapos?”

“Tapos. . .” Hinampas niya ako sa braso. “Let's just get this done so we can go home.”
