Adelaide
NANLAKI ANG MATA ko nang magising na nakayakap na kay Ezekiel, nakapulupot ang kamay niya sa bewang ko at nakangiting titig na titig saakin.
"Good morning."
He chuckled, nakagat ko ang labing marahang itinulak siya.
"G-Good morning."
I stammered.
"Nasaan si Madeline?"
Tanong ko.
"She's already awake, baka nasa baba na."
Sagot niya, tumango lang akong hindi magawang kumbinsihin ang sariling lumayo sakaniya. For some reason, I really love his smell, parang gusto kong ibaon ang muka sakaniya.
Last night Madeline pleaded to sleep beside us in her room, gusto daw niyang maranasan iyon, napakakulit kaya wala kaming nagawa kundi pumayag.
Napanguso akong sawakas ay naupo na.
"Hindi ka pa tatayo?"
Tanong ko saka kinuha ang suklay sa bedside table at sinuklay ang aking buhok.
"Nakatayo na."
Sambit niya habang nakahiga padin, napasimangot akong binalingan siya ng matalim na tinging nagpatawa sakaniya.
"My secretary will come here later to bring some of my things, hindi ko na kailangang makigamit saiyo ng phone."
Sabi ko habang nagsusuklay.
"Ayos lang naman, gamitin mo hanggang kailan mo gusto."
Turan nito saka kumindat saakin, nailing lamang ako at sasagot pa sana nang magvibrate ang phone niya.
"Pinsan mo nag-v-voice call."
Sabi niya saka iniabot saakin ang phone, tumango ako at kinuha ang phone niya, nakalog in kasi ako sa phone niya. Nagmessage ako kagabi kay Maris at pinapupunta siya dito, nakalimutan kong i-log out.
Agad kong sinagot ang tawag at sinenyasan si Ezekiel na huwag mag salita.
"Couz! thank goodness you're finally online. I haven't seen you for a week, nasaan ka? I have a news for you!"
She giggled, nakagat ko ang labi roon.
"Uhh Naging busy kasi ako kaya hindi ako nakakabisita, napatawag ka?"
Tanong ko, si Ezekiel naman ay hinawakan ang isang kamay ko at pinatunog ang mga daliri ko doon. Sinimangutan ko siya ngunit nginisian lang ako nito.
"You won't believe what I found out!"
She seems thrilled, sinamaan ko ng tingin si Ezekiel na nilalagay naman ang kamay ko sa muka niya.
"I found out that My mom and your dad's youngest brother is actually alive, oh my god!"
Nanlaki ang mata ko roon.
"Tito Cameron?! He's alive?"
Gulat na sabi ko.
Cameron Strella is the blackship of the family, matapos itong maglayas nang nagkaroon ng hindi pagkakaintindihan sa mga magulang nila noon ay nagbook ito ng flight. Unfortunately, the plane where he is crashed and he is one of the victims.
"Yes! Yes he is! I can't believe this Erina! I saw him last night with her daughter! her youngest daughter helped us when we got lost and then it rained so hard we had to stay with them. There I found out that he is actually Cameron Strella!"
Napatakip ako saaking bibig sa narinig, so we still have some family from my father's side, left!
"How come he is alive? oh my, that's a really great news Liz!"
