A former employee of ours, Dan, is getting married next year. Dan is a very nice fellow, He comes from a good family, a graduate of either La Salle or Ateneo ( If I remember it right), magalang, I personally know his aunt and uncle, our co-Xavier parents. His cousin, Jed, was a basketball team mate of my son.
He was one of our top sales executives. He’s an achiever and a very responsible guy.
One morning, binugbog sya ng one of our company drivers. It happened inside the service area where they were hidden from the dozens of vehicles kaya the pandakekok guard didn’t see them. Only when the sound of “thud thud” became louder did the guard went to check. Hayun, bugbog sarado si Dan at yupi-yupi ang mga sasakyan namin. Apparently, the driver was scolded by the sales manager a few days before the incident and he suspected Dan was the one who made sumbong. Inabangan sya.
Syempre laking yaman itong si Dan, alaga sa kanila, pampered and protected from langaw. Yung driver naman syemre batak ang katawan, laking kalye, practisado sa suntukan, kaya talung-talo si Dan.
It happened early morning before our showroom opened. Buti na lang wala pa ako kasi I would try to break the fight, baka kung ayaw paawat baka pati ako mabugbog. Eh isa pa ako na protected from langaw, lalo na sa lamok, dahil lagi kaming merong kulambo. Ang kinis nga ng balat ko ano.
Dan landed in the hospital and the attacker landed in jail. Hay mahabang kwento yan, saka na.
Anyway back to Dan, I think he’s very much in love, judging from his Facebook photos. The unexpected happened, last month while I was in the US, he sent me a message on Facebook, gusto daw akong maging ninang kasi daw cute ako (joke). Ala eh, etong si Dan hindi pala nagbabasa ng Oh my buhay kaya he didn’t know how much I abhorred the thought of being a ninang sa kasal. Pa’no na yan? Did I agree for the very first time? Hindi ako pakipot, syempre I said NO.
He probably didn’t expect my answer. I hated to say No. Nahihiya ako sa kanya. But no matter what, I would still say No. So please people of the world, my countrymen, dear neighbors, kasambahay, kasambaho, classmates, relatives and friends. I am not a good ninang sa kasal material, please never ever consider me as ninang mo, ninang nya, ninang nila, dahil AYAW KO. Maraming salamat talaga pero ayaw ko talaga. Para wala na tayong samaan ng loob, wag na lang ako please.
I really don’t know if because of my aging age, I might change my mind in the future. Maybe one day isang araw I would wake up nakakita, biglang, hehehey parang type kong maging ninang. We’ll see, pero as of now, as of today, November 15, 2014 four minutes before midnight, hindi ko pa rin type. Isipin ko lang, naii-stress na ako. Spare me please. Lalo na ngayon, lalo pang lumaki ang tyan ko, baka sabihin ng mga tao, ano ba yang ninang na yan, ang tanda na buntis pa, makati (pronounced “itchy”).
To better understand the real reason why, please read NINANG SA KASAL, posted on September 14, 2011.
Again, please forgive me.
Sincerely,
Your cute ninang to be that will never agree to be.
