"You are his girlfriend?" seryoso nitong tanong habang diretso ang tingin sa akin. Nakaramdam na ako ng matinding takot simula ng magtagpo ang aming mga mata. Hindi ko alam kung anong isasagot ko.
Baka ayaw niya na may girlfriend si Hector? Anong sasabihin ko?
Sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko, nihindi ko magawang huminga ng maayos sa harapan niya. Ang bigat ng pakiramdam ko at parang sobrang lakad ng aura niya sa buong paligid. Busy lahat ng tao dito, pero alam kong na sa amin ang atnesyon nilang lahat.
I could feel the tension of his stares, "Ahm...y-yes s-sir," I whisper as an answer. Alanganamang sabihin kong no-label relationship kami ng anak niya, na friends kami but we f*ck.
"Can you come to my office, I wanna talk to you about something," he said in authority, kaya wala akong nagawa 'nong tumalikod na siya at pumunta sa kanyang opisina. Bago ako sumunod, sumilip ako sa office ni Hector pero hindi pa 'rin siya lumalabas kaya wala na talaga akong kawala dito sa Daddy niya.
Sinundan ko ito s aloob ng office nito, at halos mahulog ang panga ko sa sobrang daming trophys at awards, certificates ang loob ng opisina nito.
Sobrang lawag din ng buong silid, "Wow," I whisper when I gaze at the portrait of the president on the wall.
"Have a seat young lady," he's voice is too powerful for me to handle, parang kahit anong sabihin nito matatakot ako. Umupo ako sa harapan ng table niay kung saan siya nakaupo at pasimpleng binasa ang name plate nito sa table.
Director of Federal Bureau of Investigation Christian Evans.
"So, How long are you in a relationship with my son, Agent Evans?" tanong niya at ipinatong ang braso sa kanyang lamesa, at tiningnan ako ng mabuti.
"Ahmm...almost 2 months I guess," pabulong na ang sagot ko dahil hindi ko alam talaga kung paano ito kausapin at kung magugustuhan ba nito ang mga isasagot ko.
He's a director of FBI, he was appointed by the President, this guy in front of me is so powerful. Hindi ko alam kung anong mangyayari sa akin pagnagkamali ako ng isasagot sa kanya.
Baka isang bala lang ako dito, huhu Hector iligtas mo ako.
"So, how is he as a boyfriend?" natigilan ako sa pagiisip sa takot ng biglang kumalma ang boses nito at tiningnan ako bago sumandal sa swivel chair niya.
"Pardon me?" I ask, tama ba ako ng pagkakarinig? Tinatanong niya kung anong klaseng boyfriend ang anak niya?
"How is he as a person outside his job? I wanna know," kumunot ang noo ko dahil sa kanyang tanong, kung hindi ko alam na mag-ama sila, sa uri ng tanong nito iisipain kong gusto niyang makilala si Hector.
"Ahmmm..?" anong sasabihin ko?
"You see, my son and I have been working together since he started working as one of my agents but I never get the chance to meet Hector outside this place. He was raised by his mother that's why I don't know things about him, so I'm asking you? What is he like?" biglang lumambot ang puso ko dahil sa sinabi nito.
He was reaching out for his son, this old powerful, and the dominant director is reaching out for his son, how sweet. Hindi ko 'man alam ang story behind the two of them, I can see it through his eyes that he wants to know his son.
And he loves him, I know it because this is how dad looks at me when he always makes me remember how much he loves me and my mom since I was young.
