He held her hand and they walked away, laughing at something. My eyes followed them as they are finally out of my sight. I bit my lower lip, trying not to let a single tear drop. I can't leave like this. Uuwi lang ako tapos magmumokmok sa sa aking silid. I don't want another phase of me balling in tears. I have to do something!Kinuha ko 'yung phone ko at tiningnan 'yung oras. I don't have any appointments today kaya pwede akong manatili. I dialed Dad's number. I should ask permission na mananatili ako. He will understand and probably mas ikakagusto pa niya. He always wanted me to introduce to his friends. Ngayong wala na akong pinagtataguan, maybe it's time for them to know me.Nakailang rings na ako pero hindi pa rin sinagot ni Daddy. Hindi ba niya dala 'yung phone niya? I dialed again but to no avail. I frowned and stared at my phone. Bahala na. Saka ko nalang sasabihin kapag nakita ko siya.I pulled the key out of its keyhole and stepped out of the car. Tiningnan ko muna 'yung ref

"Anak, are you okay?" Tanong ni Dad pagkapasok namin sa suite room.I walked back and forth trying to put some senses into myself. Bakit ko iyon ginawa? Why do I have to embarass Scarlet in front of everyone? Para iangat ang sarili ko? No! Hindi ako ganung klaseng tao but I did it anyways.After the conversation that we had, Dad's friends invited me to join their dinner tonight. Since magstay kami ng isang gabi dito, they encouraged me to join them para mas makilala daw nila ako. They found me interesting.Pero hindi mawala sa isip ko 'yung nangyari. My God, Ava! "Dad, I'm really sorry!" Agad kong tawad ni Dad. "Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nangyari sa akin para masabi 'yun!""What are you talking about?""Yung kanina. I didn't mean to eavesdrop pero narinig ko kasi na hino-hot seat ka na nila. They are so close of humiliating you that's why I stepped up," sagot ko."Anak, don't worry about it. Okay lang 'yun.""Hindi, Dad. I did something horrible!" I bit my lower lip. "I humiliated S

I stared back at him as he slightly grip my thigh tightly. What's his problem? Buti nalang busy sa pag-uusap sina Dad. Hindi nila napansin 'yung mainit naming titigan ni Timothee. I don't know about Pierre and Scarlet. They didn't bother us naman siguro hindi din nila napansin.Halos marinig ko 'yung tibok ng puso ko. It seems like it wants to break free from its cage. Nakahawak si Timothee sa aking hita while locking his eyes unto mine. I would surely melt for I miss him. Kay tagal ko na siyang gustong makita, mayakap, at mahalikan. Ngayong nasa harap ko na siya ay pinipigilan ko lang ang sarili kong gawin ang mga 'yun."What?" I asked after swallowing hard."Let's talk," he firmly whispered.I sighed. Tama siya. Nasa tamang oras na siguro kaming mag-uusap. It would be my perfect time to ask forgiveness in person which I haven't done in so long. "Okay," I nodded.Una akong umiwas ng tingin, inabot 'yung tubig at uminom. Nagulat nalang ako nang biglang kunin ni Timothee 'yung atensyo

"You're wearing that?" Turo ni Pierre sa akin.Sumimangot ako. Anong masama sa short shorts at T-shirt? Wala akong dalang two piece kaya ito lang ang suot ko. Isa pa, sabi naman niya kami lang 'yung tao so I assume na walang magju-judge sa akin dito."Wala akong dala," iling ko."I wore my favorite swimming trunks tapos 'yung swimming buddy ko ay nakapambahay lang," iling niya. "Picture-perfect pa naman din.""We could get a photo next time. Pagpasensyahan mo na. Wala talaga sa plano ang pagpunta sa akin dito kaya hindi ako prepared," sabi ko."Sige na. Okay lang," he said. "Marunong ka naman sigurong lumangoy no?""Ako pa!""Buti naman. Akala ko display ka lang sa gilid ng pool," pang-aasar niya. "Uy! Hindi kaya!" He laughed. "Akala lang naman no!""Ewan ko sa'yo!" Iling ko.He dived into the pool at ganun na din ako. Halos magkasabay kaming umahon at nang magtagpo ang aming mga mata ay sabay kaming napatawa. "Racing tayo!" Suhestyon niya."Sige ba!""Weh? Kaya mo?" Taas-kilay niy

Hinayaan ko si Timothee na dalhin ako kahit saan. The cramp already subsided but I didn't bother telling him. Tutal hindi naman siya makikinig sa akin. I told him already to put me down but he will always say no firmly.Buti nalang gabi na. Wala nang masyadong tao. I saw a closed door from afar and it seems to me that that is where we are going. Hindi ako nagkamali, he approached the door and opened it without even putting me down. He carried me until we reached a wooden chair at saka niya ako pinaupo dun. He didn't say a word. Tinalikuran niya ako and reached for the cabinet. Kumuha siya ng boxers and a t-shirt before handing them to me."Get dressed," utos niya.Kumunot 'yung noo ko. "I can use my clothes. Pwede akong magbihis sa suite--""Ava, please?" He sighed. "Magbihis ka na bago ka pa magkasakit."He's looking at me as if telling me to do it. He's trying to convince me. Left with no other options, tumayo na ako at tinungo 'yung comfort room. It didn't took long for me to chan

"Are you alright?" Timothee asked.Things started to get confusing. Hindi ako makahinga nang maayos. Noon ko pa nararamdaman na may tinatago sa akin si Dad and this event just confirmed that for me. Hindi ako ang bata na ito. It looks nothing like me when I was young."Ava," Tim called my attention."Hm?""Are you okay?" He worriedly asked."Yes. I'm fine," I forced a smile."Are you sure? Bigla ka nalang nag-space out. May mali ba?" He asked.Umiling ako. "May naalala lang. Don't worry about me."Nahinto ang mga mata ko sa pagkain na nasa mesa. Shocks! We're still having our breakfast!"Kumain na tayo," I smiled.Timothee doesn't seemed convinced of me being okay but he chose to smile and continued eating. Buong umagahan kong pinilit ang sarili na hindi isipin 'yung bata. I kept myself busy and talking with Timothee. Pero hindi pa rin nawala sa isip ko. "Where are you going after this?" Tanong niya sa akin.I shrug my shoulders. "Ewan. Maybe uuwi ako.""Uuwi ka na?" He frowned. "Kak

There is no open restaurants nearby. Timothee wanted us to have a date in an expensive place pero kahit ni isa ay walang open. He's frowning while driving. "We can go back naman," I suggested. Siguro no restaurant day ngayon," I joked."May ganun ba?" Inis niyang tanong. "Sa lahat ng araw para magsara bakit ngayon pa kung kailan nililigawan na kita?"Napangiti ako. "It's fine, Timothee."He really did thought of something big. Nililigawan pa lang niya ako ay willing na siyang gumasto para sa akin. I appreciate that pero kahit sa simpleng bagay ay masaya ako basta kasama ko lang siya."I should have prepared more. Dapat inalam ko muna kung anong restaurant ang open," nguso niya.Napailing nalang ako. Isang bagay na napansin ko kay Timothee ay may pagka-perfectionist siya. If things don't go according to plan, he'll start being hard on himself. Hindi na niya tinatantanan 'yung sarili."You really want us to go out?" I asked.He nodded. "Yes! I want us to eat somewhere and bond!""Place

"What?" Naguguluhan niyang tanong.Malungkot akong ngumiti at kinuha 'yung phone ko. I scrolled down the gallery and looked for the photo that I took from Dad. 'Yung litratong dala niya ang batang babae. I showed the photo to Timothee na mas lalong ikinakunot ng noo niya."This is the same girl, diba?" I asked.He nodded. "Yes. And that is your Dad. Ikaw nga 'yan."Umiling ako. "Hindi ko alam kung bakit ito nangyayari. I am confused as well. Pero heto ako." I showed him the photo of me when I was seven and Mom and Dad were at my side.Napangiti ako sa nakita. This was the last photo of us together. Naaalala ko pa ang araw na ito at kailanman ay hindi matutumbasan ang ligaya na nararamdaman ko nung araw na 'yun."What?" Naguguluhan niyang tanong at kinuha 'yung phone ko.He put both photos side by side and examined them. Kitang-kita 'yung kaibahan ng mukha namin. I can tell because I know myself too well. Although we do have the same features but I can still see the difference. Itinabi
