ERAZIUS GOMEZ
When I heard about Chase and Lilac sleeping together, I lost hope.
I mean, I already lost hope when we broke up six years ago but when I met her at the hospital, when she slapped me multiple times, that was when I'd realized how dumb I was.
It was my wake up call. I want to fight for her this time around. I want to give her the best.
I immediately grabbed my phone and called Chase. Good thing he answered quickly.
"Yes?" he asked.
"Where are you?"
"At Graky's house. Why?"
"Can we talk?" I replied, sighing.
Chase is one of my closest friend for years now.
"May problema ba kayo ni Elisha? Where are you?" pag-aalala niyang tanong.
I sighed again.
See? Kaya hindi ko kayang magalit sa kanya dahil napakabuti niyang tao. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin.
"Ako na ang pupunta riyan. Sino ang kasama mo?" tanong ko sa kanya habang nagmamaneho.
"Si Graky lang," aniya.
"Okay," I uttered then ended up the call.
I immediately went to Men's Village where my family used to live. Lately ko lang nalaman na pagmamay-ari 'yon ng mga Mendes.
Doon na nag-i-stay sina Sweetheart at Graky. Wala namang bahay si Chase dito sa Pinas kaya madalas siyang nakatira sa mga pinsan niya at sa unit namin ni Elisha.
Bumusina ako nang nakarating ako sa labas ng bahay ni Graky. Sinalubong ako ng mga guards na alam kong agents ng L'azienda.
Agad nila akong pinapasok at nakita ko ang malawak na ngiti ni Chase at Graky sa akin.
"Zius! Kumusta si Elisha?" ani Graky sa akin saka kami nag beso.
"Okay na siya. Nakalabas na siya ng hospital," I replied then I hugged her. "Ikaw? How are you?"
She blushed. "I'm happy. Anyway, you can talk inside. Lalabas lang ako," pagpapaalam niya sa amin.
"Let's go inside," ani Chase saka niya ako iginiya sa loob ng bahay. "Umupo ka muna. Do you want some tea?"
I slowly shook my head. "Huwag na, Chase. Okay lang ako."
Umupo siya sa harap ko. "So what is this all about?"
"It's about Lilac," diretso kong sabi.
He sighed heavily then sipped his tea. "Hmm?"
"D-Do you like her?" nauutal kong tanong.
Please say no.
"Why? Does it matter?"
"I just want to know..."
"And if I say yes?" makahulugan niyang tanong.
I looked down. Nagsimulang mangilid ang aking mga luha. "Chase..." I uttered.
"You're not answering me. What will you do if I say yes?" tanong niya ulit.
"I... don't know," pag-aamin ko. I looked at him as tears started to fall down my cheeks.
"Gusto ko ngang i-adopt ang triplets."
I froze. "A-Are you serious?"
"Yes," maikli niyang tugon.
