Being Match with a Manly Man
CHAPTER 5 - The Promise of Meeting
Mami Ana still stroked Rey's head.
"Mommy's child can't crybaby dong darling. You are now in High School. You should learn to be more mature, baby."
Mami Ana stroked Rey's back and Rey just fell silent and did not answer as soon as Rey was no longer crying, Mami Ana let go of her embrace.
"Rey darling.. Mami's favorite child, did you say that you were punished by what, dear at school? You must have made a mistake, huh?" Rey must be seduced first to tell a story and answer questions from Mami Ana.
"Rey didn't do Mami's wrong" Rey said softly and teary-eyed, fearing that her mother was angry that she had been punished at school.
"Why are you being punished dear?" Mami Ana is confused that Rey did nothing wrong to get Rey punished.
"Rey was walking towards Mi's ceremonial field. Suddenly there was an upperclassman who hit Rey to the point of falling down and her knees were scuffed and bleeding. Because he was difficult to stand and limp Rey did not have the heart and then Rey carried him to the UKS room and when walking to the UKS room he fainted in Rey's arms and just knew he had fainted because of what?" he said by explaining and at the same time asking Mami Ana.
"Indeed, why did he faint, honey?" Mami Ana, who doesn't know why her upperclassman fainted.
"Ka Risa wasn't having breakfast Mami, she was just drinking milk. Why could he neglect not to eat breakfast, then I told him to have breakfast every morning" said Rey.
"Oh her name is Risa, baby. Have you known him before?" said Mami Ana, who seems like Rey is paying attention to her upperclassman.
"Kok his name is like the name of Angel's son jeng yes, ahh maybe just coincidentally the name is the same. The name of a child today is similar." - his inner.
"Unable, Risa and I just met this morning. Mami I'm upset with Risa, I helped treat her knee wounds but still I was punished. The one who wanted to punish me was Brother Evan, he told me to run around the field 10 times but suddenly the punishment was changed to push up 10 times with Sister Risa."
"He promised to help me not to be punished. But still I get punished," said Rey back imagining when he was told to push up when the sun was hot.
"You should be grateful because Risa eases her sentence try to imagine how if you run around the field 10 times there you will be overheated and thirsty. Mami says you yes son, if helping the person must be sincere dong dear," said Mami Ana and holding her two cheeks to look at her face.
"I'm sincere about Mi because earlier you Risa also bribed me," he said with a smile.
"Whataa?? You asked Risa to bribe you? Maybe you Rey asked someone else to bribe you" said Mami Ana, shaking her head.
"He's not someone else Mi, I've already known. Mami said I have to be kind to others and moreover I already know Kak Risa."
Mami Ana is only silent with the innocent nature of her child.
"So I was upset with Evan Mi, she mocked me. The head of OSIS at school continued to forbid Kak Risa to bribe me and say I am spoiled and no one will want to be my partner" he said in an annoyed tone.
"Yes, baby, don't take care of Evan's words. Now you take a shower baby, continue to eat Mami has cooked your favorite cuisine," he said.
Rey then nodded and went straight up to the 2nd floor to her room and was about to take a shower.
