it was one breezy afternoon when i decided not to go out. i told albert that i am feeling sick so he came over for a while and made me soup. then he goes home.
"i wish i could stay for more" he kisses my forehead and gives me a smile.
"it's okay babe. i got this. see you tomorrow?" he nods. i walk him to the door and to the gate. i watch him walk away from me. from our house then he's out of my sight.
i sit beneath the doorway. i lean against the wall, the one at the side of the door, and stays here for a while. my mind is blank and my spirit is somewhere else. until somebody awakens me and help me stand up.
"what's wrong baby?" she touches my arms. i gave her a hug. it's been like i-don't-know-how-long since i saw her.
"nothing mom."
"do you wanna talk?" she takes off her coat and put it on the stand. she goes to the kitchen and i think she's making some coffee. i sit on the dining table, just across the kitchen.
"i don't know. i'm confussed"
"how would you like your sandwich?" now she's making a sandwich
"in anyway." i answered.
"would you want me to make you some smoothie?" she knows me so well. she knows that smoothies make me feel good but not now. i can't take any smoothies now coz it only reminds me of someone. someone that i'm trying to forget my feelings for.
"i'll just take water mom. thanks" she opens the fridge and takes out the pitcher. i have no idea how am i gonna live alone. she takes her coffee to the table and i help take the peanut butter sandwich. i also grab my water while she's carrying the pitcher.
"so, how's my princess who's graduating in june?" i smile at her tease. i remember this convo when i was graduating from middle school. then it also happened that tita's son was coming. frank. they were all excited for him. but i thought, he's just gonna be a pain in my ass.
yes he did and he is still is. he's brought me pain eversince he came. he's given heartache and headache and stomache and everything ache. i sigh.
"you sounded depress baby. what's wrong?" i told her my story.
"are you forgetting something?" she asked. i think i do. i forgot to tell her that i love frank. and i still do. but i dont want to hurt albert he's nice and he's a gentleman. and he's nothing like my ex. and even frank approves of him.
i'm confused. i like being with albert but i love it when i'm with frank. it just all went wrong when i told him what i feel about him. when i confess my feelings for him. that is when he came back from the Philippines.
"mom, i think i'm inlove"
"that was quick" i shake my head from left to right.
"its not who you think mom. i'm inlove with frank" she almost drop her cup.
"i don't know mom. i think i am. coz i always think of him, atleast a couple of times a day. i didn't know when this feeling start but i'm always happy when we're together." i sigh. it was the very craziest and happiest moment of my life. everyday is happy when we're together. when we do the plays and when i write the manuscripts for our club.
"but it's not the same anymore mom. we're slowly drifting apart." she reaches for my chin across the table so i can see her. she smiles at me and wipes my tears. i continue my story.
"we were okay. after my confession.."
"you told him how you feel?" she asked shockily. i nod and close my eyes. remembering that day. (chapter 17)
