Chapter 21

Keyhole

"Ate,please..." Celin keeps on sobbing endlessly.

Mapait akong ngumiti habang ipinagpapatuloy ang paglalagay ng kolorete sa mukha.

She keeps on pleadinf for me to stay or just come with me. I can't be selfish.

"Celin,hindi pwedeng hindi ako umalis at hindi kadin pwedeng sumama. You have to focus on your studies." bumuntong hininga ulit ako.

My heart hurt seeing her cry but my conscience will never let me rest even a freaking second if I drag an innocent child into my problems.

" A-Ate! Sige na! P-Pwede naman ako doong mag aral diba?" kitang kita ko ang pag asa sa kanyang mata.

I shut my eyes. "Celin, don't make this hard for Ate Nella please?"

"Nella, gising na si Dando-" natigil sa pagsasalita si Ate Joy nang nakita ang ayos namin ni Celin.

I smiled sadly at Celin. "I'll comeback Celin, promise." freaking tears pooled in my eyes. "Be a good girl. I love you. Ate Nella loves you. Can you please tell them that I love them?" I said before kissing her forehead.

Isinama nila si Celin sa paghatid sa akin sa airport. Tumahan na ito pero bakas parin sa mukha niya ang luha.

I stared at our mansion one last time for now. My cousins and I doesn't have much memories in here but I have here almost of my all my memories with Xy.

Isinalpak ko ang earphones sa tenga. Wala akong planong umiyak dito sa loob ng sasakyan.

Pakiramdam ko ay dalawang oras kaming bumyahe papunta sa airport.

I spread my arms for Celin. Her face crumpled before banging herself on me.

"I'll be good ate, I promise. Pero hindi ko sasabihin sa kanila ang pinapasabi mo." umirap siya gamit ang naluluhang mata.

I chuckled. "Stay here. Kuya Dando," I smiled.

"Opo, Miss. Mamimiss kita Miss." ngumiti siya.

My tears bursted again. Shit! "I'll miss you too, kuya"

Hinalikan ko ang pisngi ni Celin. "Bye for now, my love."

I didn't look back as I came out of the car so I won't see her eyes.

"Ate Joy..." niyakap ko siya at humagulhol sa mga balikat niya. Walang kwenta ang make up.

"Kay mo yan, Nella." she kissed my forehead.

"Mommy!" Deila shrieked.

Tumakbo ako papunta sa labas. Naabutan ko si tita Dail na hinahawakan ang kamay ni Deila.

Oh my! What happened?

"A-Anong nangyari tita?"

Tita showed us Deila's finger. Oh my! Her finger got trapped inside a doorknob's keyhole.

"Hala! Ate! Baka maputol yang daliri mo!" nakalagay ang mga palad ni Dale sa pisngi niya.

Deila cried more. "Mommy!" tita glared at Dale.

"Here..." nakita namin si titong paparating na may hawak na screw driver.

"Daddy! No!" Deila tried to pull her finger out of the hole but it just caused her to cry more.

"Aray Daddy! Mashakit yan!" humahalo na sa luha niya ang sipon niya

"Stay still, baby. I promise you this won't hurt."
