riinggg! riinggg! riinggg!
"yes hello!goodmorning.Moyer Colleges!!"
[.......]
"hello?"
"marriane.." i stiffed! after all this years.hindi ko inexpect na maririnig ko ulit ang boses niya! lumunok muna ako bago nag salita
"victor?"
*******
Coffee shop
"grhmm!" he clear his throat ,kaya binaling ko sa kanya ang tingin kong kanina ay sa labas nakatingin thru glass window. "marriane?" i was a bit shocked when he called my name..kaya tumingin ako sa mga mata niya directly! at sigurado ako sa nararamdaman ko..
i felt no pain!
a gave him a genuine smile and he smiled back. ganun din ang nakikita ko sa mga tingin niya.no pain!
"ugh!victor,if this about your daughter.im sory!i admit i tried ..luckily ate mia just interrupted us and i should thanks her for that! sorry..i-i really—-"
"no" mahinahon niyang putol sa sinasabi ko at ngumiti ulit siya sakin bago nagpatuloy "i know you cant do that,maybe yes pero hindi mo itutuloy dahil in the end ma iisip mo ang ginawa mo..too bad i know you" umiiling pa niyang sabi habang naka ngiti..yes tama nga siya..its just that nag padalos dalos ako nang nakuha ko ang files ni helga.and finally naisip ko ding mali kaya hindi ko na ginawa
humigop na lang ulit ako ng kape.nagulat na lang ako when he put his hand on top of my hand
"i know we've been through on this and the pain was over." i smiled as he said that pointing our past and i nodded,yeh it really is! "but-i just want to clear things up!" tumango lang ulit ako...siguro tama nga siya kasi hindi malinaw sakin ang lahat eh,and i think sa kanya din..
"22 years ago,nang nilayo ka ng mother mo.she even trash my scholar ship sa eskwelahan niyo,i-i burst out in hell..like trouble,drink..it-it messed my life" he smiled bitterly at unti unti i felt my eyes began to blurr.. hindi ko alam na nasira ng ganun ang buhay niya.
"at ng panahon na yon,helena came!" i nod and smile with sorrow as i saw him smile."she approached and cheered me up, she said she's been loving me since we met..i was 5 that time helena and you were 4..haha,hindi niya sinabi yon.until i reach 10 hindi na niya nasabi pa kasi she know's i love someone else..hahaha well back to topic" nakakatuwa...at the same time nakakapang hinayang din sa part ni helena.."yun nga tinulungan niya pa akong hanapin ka haha only to find out that your getting married sa france,!you were 18 then!!"
