I'm here at Tayid Lighthouse. I'm thinking what should I do when I get back to Dallas Texas. My dad told me about what happened. I will just find the culprit behind the death of my Mom and Tita Sophia. I will call Dr. Enriquez to visit all the data last 25 years ago.
Shalby is calling
"Hello, Clifford are you busy today? Stroll naman tayo nila Clairy. We're bored na."
"I would love too, I'll pick you up then'' Sagot ko
At nag punta kami sa honesty store, old stone houses at sa simbahan, noong hapon na nag lakad kami sa gilid ng dagat kasama ni Shalby si Joseph at kasama ko naman si Clairy.
" Clifford, saan ka sa Texas naka stay?'' I asked
"Hmm, interested in me now? Dallas Texas ikaw? He said ito nanaman siya nag sisimula nanaman siya sa pang-aasar niya.
"Sa Fort Worth." Sagot ko
"Where do you work?'' Tanong ko
"Cardiologist sa Baylor University Medical Center. You are weird today Clairy. '' Sagot niya titig niya sa mukha ko.
"I'll also work in that Hospital pero bago lang ako mga 2 weeks pa lang.'' Sagot ko
"Small world I guess." He said while smiling.
"Do you want to eat later? Button Restaurant?" Pagaaya ko. Nakita ko kasi sa mga mata niya na may lungkot sa kanya at gusto kong malaman what is the reason behind those beautiful eyes of him. Kaya ko siya inaya. I want to know this guy. Curious pa rin ako sa early exit niya nung nag breakfast kami nila Shalby.
"Sure.'' ngiti niyang sagot
Naupo kami sa tabi ng dagat. Ang ganda talaga dito sa Sabtang. It feels like I'm home whenever I see the water. God I missed my Mom so much. We always had fun in the beach.
"Kwento ka naman Clairy'' He said.
"Ano ba gusto mong malaman sakin?'' Sagot ko
"Worst scenario ng buhay mo at masayang scenario ng buhay mo.'' Aniya
"Okay, when I was born my mom died, then my father hate me for that, lumaki ako ng walang magulang kasi kahit nandyan ang papa ko, wala siyang pakialam sakin, he give me everything I need hanggang ngayon except his emotional support, then he said na umalis na ako sa bahay, then I left, he always curse me to be gone, kasi dahil sakin nawala yung pinakamamahal niya. That's why mag isa lang ako ngayon sa buhay, Shalby is always there for me and my friend Matt. Masayang scenario ng buhay ko yung nakapag tapos ako at may trabaho ako ngayon.'' Sagot ko
"Ang lungkot naman, ng buhay mo, ito ang sakin. Ang Papa ko ay buhay pa ang Mama ko ay wala na, hindi sila kasal dahil noong nabuntis ng papa ko si mama umalis si Mama at nag punta sa Dallas, tinago niya ang tungkol sa akin dahil yoon daw ang mas nakakabuti, masyado siyang nasaktan ng malaman niyang nag karoon ng girlfriend dito si Dadi at yun ay si Tita Sophia, mabait si Tita Sophia siya ang nag donate ng transplant kay Mom pero hindi naging successful ang operasyon, kaya ako nag Doctor dahil gusto ko managot ang Doctor na nag opera sa Mama ko at kay Tita Sophia." Kwento niya
"Malpractice? 25 years you've been searching for the culprit. That's I hate on the field some people died because of negligence." Sagot ko
"That's why I eager to know who the hell is the culprit. I will make sure he will burn alive." Siryoso niyang sagot.
Mabait naman tong si Clifford wag lang talaga aandar ang pag makulit niya. Sobra kasi siyang mang-asar. One thing I like about him is yung pagiging close niya sa Dad niya at cousins niya. He is a lover and keeper of his own family. Yung tao na kayang gawin ang lahat para sa pamilya. Sa pamilya ko walang ganon. Our home doesn't feel like home. How I wish mag kaayos na kami ni Papa. It's been 25 years na rin nung wala si Mama pero hanggang ngayon galit pa rin siya sakin. I hate it.
He is looking at me then suddenly he offered his hands "Clairy, tara na hatid na kita sa inyo." Pag-anyaya niya.
My eyes is on him. I feel his pain. I feel how bad he wants justice for his mother. "Do you want me to help you to find the culprit when we come back to Texas?" I saw his lips parted.
"Are you sure? Ayokong abalahin ka you know our field we are busy." Sagot niya.
"I'm willing to help you, Clifford. Ayaw mo ba lagi mo akong kasama." I smiled at him.
He laughed. "I want it but please be patient with me." Sagot niya
"I will be." Sagot ko.
"I really appreciate you Clairy." He said calmly
"Just buy me dinner every day Cliff that would've suffice." Sagot ko.
He laughed. "Date every day with you? I guess?." Sabi niya
"You idiot. Yes it is." Sagot ko habang nakangiti sa kanya.
