Chapter 26

Miss

Lola chuckled the moment she heard my decision.

"Hindi mo matiis ano?"

I sighed. "How many days?" she asked.

"Walong araw, La."

She nodded. "Bring Eurie."

Namilog ang mga mata ko sa sinabi niya. "La? Papayag ba sina Gene? Lalo na si Vino?"

"I'll ask them. Eurie had been bothering me for months about her going to the Philippines.

Napangiti ako.

" Do you have a plan to reveal yourself?"

Umiling ako.

She smirked. "Just be back before your class starts."

Tumango ako. Parang hindi ata naniniwala si Lola na hanggang walong araw lang ako don.

"I'll get going, Lola."

Ngumiti siya at tumango.

"Tita!" I heard consecutive knocks on my door.

Napangiti ako. Alam na siguro ng batang to kung ano ang pinag usapan namin ni Lola. "What is it?" binuksan ko ang pinto.

I saw her being carried by Gene.

"Mag uusap tayo tungkol sa pag alis mo."

I knew it. I opened the door wider. "Come in."

"Tita, I'm going with you right?" mababakas mo talaga ang kasiyahan sa boses ni Eurie.

"It depends if you're Mom will let you." I poked her nose.

"Tungkol sa bagay na yan, gusto ko sanang kami ang kasama ni Eurie sa unang paglabas niya sa bansa."

I nodded. "Yes, I understand."

"Hindi yon ang ibig kong sabihin." ngumisi siya.

My eyes widened. "What do you mean?"

"Walong araw ka lang don diba?"

I nodded.

"Hindi sasama si Eurie kapag bumalik ka dito. We will be there."

"Oh! Sasama kayo?"

Natawa siya at umiling. "Hindi."

"We will arrive at the Philippines the day before your departure back here."

Napatango ako at bumaling kay Eurie. "You will come with tita!"

"Finalyyyy! Titaaaa!"

"Well then, let's go. Tita will still pack her things."

"Bye tita!" she hugged my feet.

"Tita, it's so hot." reklamo ni Eurie at hinubad ang jacket niya.

I was about to take her jacket from her when she refused.

"No, tita. Mommy said that I must not be a burden to you."

Natawa ako. "You're not. Give me your jacket."

She puouted and gave it. I'm back.

Napabuntong hininga ako. Namiss ko na ang amoy ng hangin dito.

I took my phone out and dialed Mart's number.

Ni hindi pa nagsasampung segundo ay sinagot niya kaagad.

"Babe. Are you already there?"

"Sa pagkaka alam ko ay alas dos ng madaling araw diyan. May kalandian ka nanaman ano?"

I heard him chuckled. "My babe is jealous."

"Pwet mo, jealous. May ipapahanap ako. Pwede pa ba?"

"Of course! Who?"

"Dicen Helina Salazar."

He whistled and I heard the sound of keyboard. "She's currently in school now. Her class ends at four-thirty." I know.

Sinabi niya sa akin kung saan at doon parin naman pala nag aaral si Celin. Napatingin ako sa relo sa palapulsuhan. 3:20 may oras pa kami para matulog.

"Okay thanks." I ended the call.

Kasalukuyan akong nakasuot ng wayfarer at facemask. Iniba ko din ang pananamit ko at merong ball cap sa aking ulo. Hindi naman siguro ang mga pinsan ko ang susundo sa kanya.

"Tita, why are we here?" Eurie asked.

Yumuko ako at binalingan siya. "Tita's not allowed to ralk right now."

She nodded pouting. I just need to see Celin. Without her seeing me. After this, I'll go.

Isa isa ng nagsisilabasan ang mga estudyante. Nangingiti ako habang iniisip kung ano ba ang nagbago kay Celin.

But that smile faded when I saw her.

Kumulo ang dugo ko nang makuta ang ayos niya. May nakaakbay na lalaki sa kanya at mas lalong kumunot ang noo ko ng makita ang mga labi niya.

Lip tint! What the fuck! Her skirt is also too short! What the fuck is this?! She's just grade four!

Nawalan na ako ng kontrol at agad na binuhat si Eurie papasok sa sasakyan. "Here. Do not remove this, okay?" I gave her earphones.

Isinarado ko ang sasakyan at agad pumunta sa direksyon ni Celin.

Her brow arched when he saw a stranger walk towards her.

Walang pasabi ko siyang binuhat. Napatili siya at tinawag ang pangalan ng lalaki.

The little boy frozed. I smirked. He doesn't even have the balls to snatch Celin away from me but he was brave enough to be her boyfriend?!

Pakiramdam ko ay maglalabasan na ang mga ugat sa noo ko nang marinig kong magmura ang binubuhat ko.

I opened the backseat and almost throw her if I just didn't have my control.

"Putangina sino ka?!"

I removed my cover-ups.

Natigil siya sa pagwawala nanf makita niya ang mukha ko.

I am just staring blankly at her. "Give me your liptint." I said coldly.

"Liptint Celin." ulit ko nang hindi siya gumalaw.

The coldness in my eyes melted when I saw her tears fell.

Hinila niya ako at ibinaon ang kangyang mukha sa aking tiyan.

"A-Ate Nella!" her voice broke. Her grip on my dress tightened as she keep on calling my name endlessly while crying.

Hindi ko na mapigilang yakapin siya. "Miss na miss na kita Celin." bulong ko.

She cried harder. "I miss you so much." I smiled.

Pagkalipas ng ilang minuto ay tumahan na siya. "Celin..."

She is looking intently at me. "I thought you would be a good girl? Why didn't you keep your promise?"

Tumungo siya. "Because you didn't keep yours too." mababang boses  niya.

I sighed heavily and hugged her.  "Tell me everything ate."

"Hindi muna ngayon Celin." hinalikan ko ang ulo niya.

Her grip on my dress tightened again.
