The Consequences

CHAPTER 9:

"Mick thank you pala ah kaya mahal na mahal kita eh." Sabi nya pagkababa ko ng car nya.

"Huh?!?"

"Oh bat gulat na gulat ka?"tanong ni Gerald sakin.

"Ma-ma-hal m-o ko?"sabi ko habang nauutal pa.

"Oo naman kaibigan kita eh kaya mahal kita"sabi niya, sabay gulo sa buhok ko "Di ka pa ba sanay. Ikaw lumayo ka lang nakalimutan mo nang mahal kita" okay pahiya naman ako dun.

"Baliw ka talaga. Sige pasok na ko. Ingat ka ah."sabay talikod.

Bigla namang may humawak sa siko ko sabay hila sakin pabalik.

"Wait lang Mick. Just a few minutes na-miss lang talaga kita."sabi nya habang nakayakap sakin. Im hesitate but I hug him back.

A minute have pass but no broke the silence between us.

"Ge gusto mo bang dito nalang kumain?" I asked while tapping his back.

"Oh speaking of dinner I have to go magkikita pa pala kami ni Jhazelene." He said then kumalas na sya sa pagkakayakap.

"Ah ok ingat ka nalang sa kanya." I said bitterly.

"Ikaw talaga mabait na yon. You should know her better. Sige pasok ka na Good night."then he tap my head. Ano toh bata? Leche... Then he drove away without hearing any word from me.

As I enter the house si manang agad ang sumalubong sakin.

"Good evening po ma'am nasa dining  na po sila sir nag early dinner. Sumabay na po kayo."alok ni manang.

"Sige po. Uhm manang favor naman po paki dala na po yung gamit ko sa room kahit sa ibabaw nalang po ng bed?"

"Oo naman po ma'am sige po akin na at kumain na po kayo."manang said

I don't know what to feel. Naguguluhan ako. Lalo pa kong nainis nang makita ko ang mukha ng kuya ko. Pero kahit na naiinis ako ay nakipag-beso pa rin ako kay kuya kay ate Bel at sa mga pamangkin ko.

"Mick join us." Ate Bel said.

"Sure nagugutom na rin ako eh."then I take my seat beside their younger daughter at the right kung saan din nakapwesto si Ate Bel.

I quietly finised my meal when Michelle spoke to me. She's on the left side of the table beside her kuya pero hindi kami magkatapat.

"Uhm tita I know you want some quality time with baby Georgina but can we talk to her just a few second we promise that it won't take long"

"Oh sure hun. And hindi naman problema yon kayo pa ba and I'm sure my baby will be more happy if she see you."

"Talaga po? Thank you tita. Narinig mo yon Missirielle were going to see your ate Georgina."

"Ofcourse ate im so excited na nga eh tita thank you po ah." Sabi ng younger daughter nila.

"Your welcome darling sunod nalang kayo sa room." Then they nod because they are too busy in finishing their food.

Palabas na sana ako sa dining area when kuya speak.

"Mick what happen with your business meeting?" Kuya ask without looking at me.

"Yeah the BUSINESS.MEETING. We will talk about that kuya." I playfully said emphasising the word 'business meeting' Then I continue walking without waiting for his response.

As i reach my room I immediately open my account para ma-contact ko na ang baby ko. Para naman magkaroon ako ng quality time sa kanya ganun din ang mga pinsan niya.
