Chapter 32
I was excited to talk to her over the phone. For the past months, she's been calling to ask if how was my life here. She updates me every now and then. Ibinabalita niya rin sa akin kung ano na ang mga nangyayari sa Valle Vista. Pero sa totoo lang ay hindi ako mapakali dahil hindi siya nakatawag sakin mula pa noong Lunes.
"Hey frenny!" masigla kong bati habang tinatanaw ang makukulay na hardin ni Tita Alena na palaging inaalagaan ni Mama.
Sobrang namiss ko lang ang boses niya kahit malamig at walang emosyon minsan ito.
Ibang-iba ang tanawin na aking makikita kung ikukumpara sa bahay namin sa Rosgracias. Kalahatan ng mga bahay dito sa Morocco ay may hawig sa Espanya. Moderno na ang iba pero may marami pa rin ang gawa sa tisa at marmol na may flat-roof na istilo.
"Mm...hmm," sagot nito na muntik ko ng di narinig.
Tiningnan kong muli ang screen ng aking phone. Si Star ba talaga to? Bakit ang lamig at ang lamya ng kanyang boses.
She took a deep breath. "Why don't you tell me that you have a child now? I.. I thought, I was your best friend,"
"WHAT?!" gulat kong sigaw sa kanya. Sobrang nabigla ako sa sinabi niya na meron daw akong anak. Ano raw? Dang!
"What the hell are you saying, Star? C.. Child?!" Napatayo pa ako at sumandal sa barindelya ng balkonahe.
Namaywang ako at napanganga sa kalituhan. Matindi rin ang sikat ng araw ngayong linggo kaya halos namamawis na rin ako.
"Yeah.. what the hell? Hindi nga makapaniwala si Sky nang ipinakita ko ito sa kanya. Sabi pa nga niya magkamukha kayo 'nong baby." She paused and I heard her sipping. Siguro umiinom siya ng kanyang chamomile tea ngayon sa opisina.
"Frenny.. I was aware that you and Hielder broke up. Atlas told me everything and I also witness how wrecked and a mess your man was. He.. he saw your IG post and he almost throw my phone on the wall! Got that? Why don't you tell me that you have a 'Little sunshine' now?" she added.
My mouth was open wide like a mile the entire time she's talking like a problematic, serious woman. Hindi ako makapagsalita, as in litong-lito ako sa mga pinagsasabi niya.
Post? Little sunshine? Oh my god! Wait- Does she mean baby Alanis?!
As far as I can remember, I only posted the stolen picture of me and baby Lani on my IG last Sunday. Pinilit ko pa si Isah na kunan kami ng picture non. Kahit na madaldal ang isang yon eh sobrang private naman niyang tao. Naalala ko na dito rin yon sa bahay at pinapakain pa namin ang bata ng cereal niya.
"I called you every day! But you didn't tell-"
"WAIT! Star, can you please listen to me?" pagod kong turan ngunit parang wala lang siyang narinig. Nagpatuloy lang ito.
"Hielder was hurt. Palagi na lang siya sa barn niya at binibisita siya ni Atlas kasi baka magpakamatay yon! He was back to his older self Wel like before you met him. He's cold and aloof. Hindi na rin siya nakikinig sa kanyang pamilya o kahit sa pinsan niya."
Habang salita siya nang salita. I open my Instagram account and view my post again. I was welcomed by hundred notifications. Halos hindi na ako makakurap sa kakabasa ng mga comments ng mga tao. They were CONGRATULATING me!
What the actual f*ck is this?
Even Atlas and Drixon heart the picture of the two of us. Damn! As I read my caption I couldn't help but to feel giddy. Why can't they see that I even emphasized 'our little sunshine'?
