Caught in the Post-Act, Almost

One of the stunning moments a parent could have is realizing that his/her child is already an adult capable of actions that a parent would rather not face. Given the strict adherence to values of a Filipino family, conservatism is still a norm. Thus, when a parent sees that his/her child is not behaving by the rules, shock sets in, followed by anger and then reprimand.

When Non-showbiz Mom (NM) welcomed the male teammates of Her Child (HC) with a once famous Sports Personality (SP), she did not expect the turn of events. As HC is involved in her game, she has received much encouragement from her family for her dedication. Thus, family support is sometimes extended even to teammates from both genders. Visits from HC’s teammates was not really uncommon.

NM let the kids feel at home and she decided to do her usual lineup of activities. After some time, NM proceeded to look for HC. Then, without warning, NM saw HC with a Male Teammate (MT) allegedly coming out of the bathroom together. Unable to make sense of what she saw and to avoid a scandal in her home, NM quietly made her presence felt, which could have startled HC and MT.

Containing mixed feelings of wonder, anger, displeasure, and shock, NM remained calm. HC realizing that her mother might be thinking of something that any mother should not see from her daughter, became embarrassed. Could she even explain what her mother saw and what she could be thinking?

Given the awkward situation, the guests decided to leave and let HC deal with NM concerning the matter. Lucky for HC, her legendary father was not the one who saw her with MT. Otherwise, the scene would have been worse.

‘The difference between a moral man and a man of honor is that the latter regrets a discreditable act, even when it has worked and he has not been caught.’ – H. L. Mencken
