when we walked towards the far most left inside Pedlar's Inn Cafe, a restaurant who's specialty is european cuisine, i saw a sophisticated-looking woman in her late 40's. She was definitely wearing a Rajo Laurel dress that glows with elegance.. and a worth-thousands of karat jewels






and when she looked up, i saw the same brown eyes that Iñigo and Darren had. The same beautiful expressive brown eyes that you could stare at for the rest of the night






"You must be Nina.. Have a seat" She said in a timid lady-like tone as she gestured me to sit across her






Iñigo, being the gentleman that he is, pulled a chair for me as i genuinely smiled at him .. before i sat





sa side ko naman umupo si Iñigo while Darren, on the other hand, ay umupo in between their Mom and Iñigo






The woman smiled at me first ...
"I've been dying to get to know you in person, Hija. ever since, I've heard my son was dating such a lovely girl like you" she uttered






tumingin naman ako kay Iñigo with matching confused look. He just smirked at me before i tore away my eyes off him






"Oh.. no, Ma'am we're not actually in the dating phase"




"Yet.." ang dutong ni Iñigo sa sinabi ko sa mom niya






"But, we're on the process Mom" he continued as he winked at me while i felt his huge hands landed on my right naked flawless knee






"Good. Finally, you wont be lavishing different women every single night na." ang sabi ng Mom niya
while giving Iñigo the look that only a mother-son could understand





natigilan ako saglit nang marinig ko ang different women every single night







Playboy?
i thought
"Mom. You make me sound like a douchebag here" he lightly chuckled as his hand was now moving higher and find its place on my thigh







sending me a reaction ---- i gasped and napatingin sa akin kaagad ang Mom niya







"Is there a problem, Hija?" she asked
"Uhm.. i think i just felt cold as the wind brushed my thigh,Maam" ang sabi emphasizing the wind part and turned my direction to Iñigo na ningitian lang ako





"Wind?" She asked totally confused about it but that expression became soft when she finally change the subject

"ooh..Drop the formality, Hija. You can call me Tita Ingrid" ang sabi niya while she placed her hands and entwined it together on top of the table






"Shall we take our orders now, Mom? i think im starving" ang sabi ni Darren na halatang annoyed na sa mga conversation naming hindi niya masakyan. and the three of us chuckled in unison






~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





"You're probably wondering why I asked Igo to bring you here" ang sabi ni Tita Ingrid as she tapped the napkin on top of her lips








napatigil ako sa paggalaw ng pagkain ko and napatingin sa direksyon ni Tita







Igo
... i thought as i heard his nickname
parang I've heard that name somewhere




"You know, Hija. When i heard your name i immediately wanted to meet you in person. But my son insisted its too soon for the whole thing.nonetheless, I bugged him to death 'til he gave in to what i wanted" she uttered as she smiled at Iñigo




"You didn't bug me! you blackmailed me!" ang komento ni Iñigo sa sabi ng Mom niya






nagtawanan muna silang magina before Tita Ingrid decided to pop another conversation


"Anyway, Hija.. are you any chance related to Augustina Lim-Suarez?" ang tanong niya bigla sa akin






Bakit biglang napasok si Augustina Suarez dito?
i thought for a moment








"She's my Grandma" i lightly replied. biglang lumaki ang ngiti ni Tita Ingrid sa akin. nagtaka naman ako







"Mrs. Suarez was one of my favorite teachers back then in high school. She's the mother that i wish i had.. Where is she by the way? haven't heard anything from her ever since She retired" 


Tita Ingrid uttered as she was smiling at the thought of it






She must've been really close to Lola before
i thought before i blabbered the answer



"She's in Cebu with few of our relatives there.. "  






"That explains why i haven't seen her around for years now.. wait, Are you Luisa's or the late Olivia's daughter?"  she asked as she took a bite on her salad




"Olivia's" i said dryly.. i dont really know much about my parents.. so im kinda touchy with that subject




"No wonder, you remind me a lot of Olivia the first time you walked right infront of me, Hija" Ang sabi niya before she took a sip in the whine glass








sino nga ba si Olivia? right..  i thought as my brows were pulled together







Olivia Suarez-Fernandez,as what my Lola told me her name was,along side with my Father Nicollo Fernandez were my late parents who died in a smash-and-bam car accident i couldn't even fathom
