Parang hinehele ako sa rahan ng boses ng ama ko. Na kahit ilang beses kong ikaila, iwan at taasan sila ng pride, alam kong uuwi pa rin ako sa kanila. Dahil sa araw na ito, matapos akong saluhin ng mga magulang ko sa loob ng Airport, alam kong hindi ko sila maipagpapalit, sila lang ang pipiliin ko, I won't choose anybody else anymore, hindi ko kailangan ng awa o kung ano man.
This time, I will choose those who loves me, not the ones who only pity me. Dahil gano'n na ako kababa, ang mapaniwala sa isang bagay dahil mababaw na ang kaligayahan ko. I only believes those words given to me. At kayang-kaya kong gawin ang lumayo dahil magulang na rin niya ang humiling. They demanded me to leave her and if they are waiting for me to obey them, they are mistakenly expected, they told me once before to leave her, I did it 'cause everyone believed and still believes that I fooled her but I didn't.They saw me in Amanpulo before, I accepted all those painful words the
They continued the topic as I remained calmed and just busied myself typing and getting some news on those colleagues on my company, pangalawa kong tinext si Shane Cardinal. He also confirmed it, that Zuri was fired and she was on her condo base on Victoria at ang punyeta, she blamed me again.A man was talking to Dad, matikas iyon at hindi maipagkakailang matikas pa rin. The talks even lowered than how rowdy it was awhile ago dahil napansin na nilang ako ang tinutukoy ng mga salita nilang tungkol sa lalaking gumalaw kay Zuri. I was still waiting for the negative comments when they topiced the cheating of the ex-fiancee of the Altavas heir but it stopped like a flowing after on the nozzle.I even noticed the gazes but I disregarded it. I was observing them like a cat so that I could jump into the foods when they leave it."Are you okay?" Vanessa went to my back and slightly rubbed my shoulders.&
Binaba niya ang cheap niyang cellphone na kulay phantom purple at taas noo niya akong hinarap."Anong ginagawa mo rito?" tanong ko.She mocked and crossed her arms on her chest, "I resigned in my own company kaya wala kang pakialam," matapang niyang tugon pero may bahid ng kaba.I barked a laughters and crossed my arms too, "Your company? It's Mr. Altavas company and if that is your own, you don't need to resign. Baka tinanggal?"She marched heading to the door as I blocked her. But what made me furious more was that she could easily touched me and she pushed me shortly to give her a way.Sinundan ko siya sa labas kahit hinihingal ako. Kinuha niya ang tuwalya na nakasampay at pumunta sa outdoor bathroom. She slammed the door as she opened the faucet there."Open the fucking door and let's talk, or I'll drag you out of that bathroom? I don't care if you're naked."I've waited for how many
I was panting and felt our warm bodies as I remained hugging her a bit. Nakapikit ang mga mata ko at nakalapat ang aking labi sa balikat niya at marahan pa ring hinahalikan. She was hiding behind my chest. Her hand was on my abdomen, while I was leaning on the cushion headboard."I took your virginity," napapaos kong sabi.Her hand went to my abdomen at played the carpet of hair in it, her lips were still kissing my chest a bit."Hindi na rin ako lugi." Zuri answered shamelessly.I groaned and she chuckled. She wore back her short and shirt dahil hindi naman iyon nalagyan."Magluluto pa pala ako, it's five forty eight," aniya at pinusod ang buhok.I sat up with my half naked and only covered by the blanket."Let's just cuddle for a moment, I saw it, you are sore," tinuro ko siya at ngumisi.Parang okay lang sa kanya kaya hindi na ako nangulit, she only fixed herself and readied to go ou
Tumingin ako sa loob at nakita siyang nagulat sa nakita at hinila ni Cloe at Victoria."Mga Manong, ayun siya," Justin said.Humarang ako at pumalibot sa buong store ang mga armado kong kasama na kahit nakadamit sibilyan ang mga militar na kasama ni Justin, agad silang umatras."Let me get my girlfriend..." mariin niyang sabi.Natawa ako, "Your girlfriend? As far as I remember, there was no legal break up we've done, Zuri haven't broken up with me, suot pa nga niya ang dalawang singsing na binigay ko, e," nagtaas ako ng kilaysa mga dinala niyang militar."It is akidnapping, Engineer, just let me be with Zuri so that I could take her home," aniya at pinilit na pumasok pero tinulak ko."You don't know who you are bumping, hijo, he can throw you out of this mall whenever he wants so stop invading his own territory," the owner of the
They served a creme brulee, lamingtons, and some foreign deserts as I was balancing the Manansalas' stares and glances. They are hesitating to start a conversation after the long talks and jokes."Kumusta, apo?" Donya Martina started.I stiffened and felt my love's hand pressing my thigh under the table, it was like she's telling me to calm."Ayos naman po, Donya," I answered politely.She stared at me with a hint of disappointment. "Lola, hijo, don't treat me like others," she smiled awkwardly.I nodded and turned my eyes on my plate. Nawalan ako ng gana na kumain at tinutusok-tusopk ko na lang ang mata ng bangus sa plato ko."We are sorry for trying to communicate with your girlfriend, we just wanted to see you... and to... give... our deepest..."Sa paghihirap niyang magsalita, na ipagpatuloy ko na, "Condolences?" I asked with a fucking conviction in my voice.Zuri grippe
Naandar na ang bangka kaya hindi na ako makababa. Dinala sa karatig-isla at agad na binato ang lambat. Wala roon ang iniisip ko kundi ang mga tauhan ni Justin.I recieved a text from her and they headed to the city and do I feel relief because of that, though?"Kaunti na lang ang mga isda dahil kakahuli lang ng marami kanina," anunsyo ni Omar.Tumango ako at ngumiti nang kaunti at pinaplano kung paano ko ilalayo si Zuri dito. Amanpulo I not accepting those many guests right at this moment, baka lang pwede kaming umuwi na roon.I also missed my home. It has been two months since we went home here in the Philippines and yet, I am still trying to recognize where is really my home?Dumaong ang bangka dahil mataas na ang sikat ng araw, bumaba ako at hinanap sa buong hotel ang mag-organisa sa surpresa para sa Daddy at mga Kuya ko.
Napatayo ako nang halos dumugin ako ng mga media at agad na may humigit sa akin palayo roon. They were my brothers and it was literally shocking for me on the next happenings. I was guided to the wide hotel suite. Binuksan ni Kuya Achilles ang isang laptop at binigay sa akin. I looked at Vanessa and she gave her daughter to Cormac and she went to me."Anong nangyayari?" tanong ko.I was bewildered by those media who mobbed me and this clip, I can't seem to find the urge to play it."Alam ba ni Zuri 'to?" tiningala ko si Vanessa na nakalapit na."Hindi pa, nililibang ni Gracey roon sa hall, her parents are involved here and she might go back to Manila anytime soon if she'll watch it..."Bumuntong hininga ako at bumaling sa screen. I played the video clip and it was published earlier today. Nasa isang interview sila at pinalilibutan ng maraming reporters mula sa iba't-ibang panig ng bansa."Thank you, Madame for b
"Your are so formal, we're relatives, so you don't have to show it up," she slapped my shoulders while laughing.Tumikhim ako at ngumiting muli. Kinuha ko ang kamay at nagmano. "Nice to see you again..." nag-angat ako ng tingin, "Lola."Nagulat siya sa sinabi ko at may mga tahimik na tumawa. Si Severino ay malakas na tumawa na agad nanahimik bago pa mapahiya lalo ang matanda. Dad was so stunned about what he witnessed.Tumawa na ang matanda sa pagkagulat at nakihalo ng usapan."Mukhang magkakasundo nga sila ng apo kong si Lambert, pero sayang, hindi siya nakasama, her daughter is sick," the woman said sadly. Napatango ang kakilala, "Mukha ngang magkakasundo, there's the sense of formality na sa unang tingin sa batang ito, you are hesitantly go to him at mukhang abala, Anita, you disturbed him," natawa sila."Hindi naman po, Ma'am," agad kong sagot."But you were watching while your nurses are
