Mom Got A Doppleganger

Same here, pero di naman ganyan kagrabe. A few years back I was still living with my mom. It was late afternoon at ako lang ang nasa bahay. Everyone went out, my brother and sister were both out, my Mom I think went to the market. I was taking a nap. Matagal na akong natutulog, then na-alimpungatan ako dahil dumating na si nanay. She always comes home in her usual manner (maingay kasi 'yon eh), she would greet the dog, and talk all the way inside (she would talk regardless if anyone is home). Then she would check each room (still talking) if anyone is home. Binuksan niya 'yung pinto ko so napadilat ako, medyo half shut 'yung mata ko kasi antuk na antok pa ako. But I could see her clearly, may mga bitbit pa nga siya. She greeted me "Ikaw lang ba ang tao dito? May uwi akong pasalubong (pagkain)". I just groaned "Ako lang ho... sige mamaya na.". Pamaya-maya parang nagutom ako, naisip ko kung ano kaya ang delicious na pagkain ang uwi ni nanay. Bangon tuloy ako, went directly to the kitchen looking for the food. Binuksan ko 'yung mga takip ng pagkain pero wala namang pasalubong under them kundi 'yun lang inulam ko earlier. Tapos I looked around, parang ako lang talaga ang tao sa bahay. I looked for my mom in the bathroom, on her room, on the terrace, sa labahan, wala talaga. Ako lang ang tao sa bahay. Habang nag-iisip ako biglang may pumarang tricycle sa harap ng bahay, tapos I can hear that familiar voice. It was my mom talking. She greeted the dog, unlocked the door and came talking all the way to the house. She greeted me, so I asked her where she went and where is the pasalubong. Baffled, she told me that she just came from the market and that she didn't bring home any pasalubong! But who was that who came in earlier???? I told her the story and she insisted that she just came in and brought nothing home except the groceries.

I was not dreaming. There is someone who looked and sounds just like my mom that I saw and talked to earlier.
