Tahimik lang kami habang nakatingin kay Yumi na payapa ng natutulog sa kuwarto ko. Instead of bringing her to the hospital ay tinawagan na lang namin si Dr. Santos, which is our family doctor. Buti na lang at konting tubig lang daw ang nakapasok kay Yumi kaya hindi na kailangang I test pa or iadmit sa hospital.

"Uhm." Napatingin ako kay Mathius ng tumikhim ito sabay tingin sa akin at kay Yumi. "About what she said... is she my...daughter?"

I was confused with Yumi saying 'daddy' but I was more confused why would Mathius asked me this? Pano naman niya magiging anak si Yumi? Kanino??

I chuckled. "Haha, I'm sorry but, What are you saying? Anak? Si Yumi? Are you kidding me? Kung tungkol to sa sinabi ni Yumi kanina, maybe she is just hallucinating you being her daddy which is definitely my brother. Not you."

"But... She looks like..-" I cut him.

"Who?" I asked curiously. Maybe he knows who is Yumi's mother.

"You." My eyes went big, definitely shock with what he said. How can I?

"Me?" I repeated. He nodded. Actually, Medyo napansin ko na rin Yon but maybe because she's my niece kaya hawig kami. Pero kung tititigan siyang mabuti ay iba ang makikita mo. Not me. Why the hell am I even saying this like me and Mathius had a thing? As far as I can remember di Naman naging kami ng lalaking ito! Or do we had a past? Nah. Malabo.

"I'm her aunt so that explains why we are somehow look a like. So just stop right here, Matyas. It's just a mere hallucinations since she just got save from drowning. Nothing more." He sighed and then intently look at Yumi. Hindi ko alam kung bakit niya naiisip ang mga ito.

"Okay. I'll just do some research. I know this is something." may doing Sabi nito.

"What... do you mean...?" I asked. Mukhang may alam siya. "Do you somehow know something I don't know, Mathius?" I asked with a very serious tone. He look at me contemplating to say but immediately look away. It must be something. May tinatago din siya kagaya nila mama. Pero ano? Bakit lahat ng nakapaligid sa akin parang may bagay na tinatago at ayaw ipaalam sa akin?

"Wala, ano ka ba. Ano namang itatago ko sayo eh kakakita Lang natin ulit.. last month. Yeah. kaya no. I don't know what you are talking about." He's lying. I know a liar when I see one. Alam kung may pinagtatakpan talaga sila at hindi ko alam kung bakit parang sakin lang sila may tinatago.

Ano ba talagang nangyari sa akin 5 years ago? Naaksidente ako... Hindi Kaya nagkaamnesia ako..? Aish! Hindi eh. Naaalala ko pa naman sila pati na nangyari sa akin eh.

"Tita?" napatingin ako kay Yumi ng magsalita ito. Lumapit ako sa kanya at hinaplos ang kanyang buhok. Kanina pa umalis si Mathius dahil may importante daw itong lalakarin. Base sa ikinikilos nito ay parang itong balisa na ewan..

"Are you okay, baby? May masakit pa ba sayo?" I asked pero umiling lang ito at inilibot ang tingin sa kuwarto. Nung mukhang hindi makita ang hinahanap ay napasimangot ito.

"Where..where's daddy...?" mahinang tanong nito sa akin. Hinaplos ko ang pisngi niya at maduyo siyang tinignan.

"Baby, Di ba nasa states si daddy mo para samahan si Lolo na ayusin ang problema dun? Don't worry uuwi din siya pag natapos yon. Do you want to video call him instead?" I asked pero tipid lang itong ngumiti at umiling.

"Huwag na po. Baka po mag-alala lang siya. Anyway, tita... where is the man... I mean, the man who save me...?" She asked curiously sabay iwas ng tingin sa akin.
