Meet thy Family! ♥

OMG! Just this evening I was about to go to our neighbors house when Lainie, the sister of Amer called me. I thought she was just gonna ask me or what about certain stuffs but darn! She wants to have a talk with me along with their wacky family. I felt like I was clawed by a trap or something.

Amer was there of course, they keep on asking things like ‘Anu nagustuhan ko kay Amer?’, ‘Naka ilang uyab na ba ako?’, ‘Hindi ba ako natatakot na Maranao sila’, I was like ‘Wait! I’m not ready for this, AMER!’. I know Amer felt so embarrassed about the questions that his sister and his cousin has for me. Adding on the meeting that I have with the parents of Amer. Grabe! I felt like half of my body was on its grave nah. OMG! His father was so good that he made an effort to introduce me to his children (though I knew them nah) His mom was too kind to put up a smile and laughed as she listens to her daughter throw those questions on me. Until all of their relatives stepped-in and then listened to our conversation. But where was Amer? Hahahahahahaha..he stayed outside because her sister won’t stop mocking him.
The point to that meeting actually was that they do really want to hear me say that ‘Yes! We’re officially an item. Na sinagot ko si Amer. Na kami na nga!’ because they can’t believe it that I said yes to Amer. I can see it to their faces the ‘?’ mark. I wasn’t able to answer them straight why I said yes to him. Then let me justify my part here.

‘I know Amer hasn’t the physical quality of the ideal man that I was dreaming of when I was in high-school. Sabi nga nang ate niya, ‘hindi naman matangos ilong niya, hindi naman siya gwapo’. What makes him win my heart was the fact that he is a good and a true person! He may be a Muslim bound with Muslim tradition but I value the person behind that and then now he gave me a lot of reasons to fall for him, and its his family.

His sister said, hindi kaba natakot na mga Maranao kami? I simply said, ‘A lot of people stereotype the muslims as the bad ones and I want to find out me myself if really it was.’ Tawa pa siya nang tawa kasi nag english ako, ang hirap magtagalog teh! Hahahahaha..

I’m happy of what had happened tonight, I know her sister only wants to clarify the real score between me and Amer and I respect that. I love the smiles and the kilig that they felt when I was trying to hide at Amer or trying to make palaban.

Amer and I are taking things lightly, we’re not in a hurry or something, we’re just enjoying our everyday meet-up and its unplanned. I won’t say ‘I want to be part of their family but I’d like too!’
