Notice Me

108

*on call*

Zephyr: Hi, Ellie. Welcome back.

Ellie: H-hi. Thank you.

Zephyr: You want to talk to me daw.

Ellie: Ah yes. 

Zephyr: About what?

Ellie: I have something to ask lang.

Zephyr: Hmm? What is it?

Ellie: How are you? 

Zephyr: I'm good. You? Are you happy?

Ellie: Kinda. How about your daughter? Your family? 

Zephyr: *sighs* 

Ellie: Uh, it's okay if you don't want to answer that.

Zephyr: She's not my daughter.

Ellie: Huh?

Zephyr: She's not my daughter. Nalaman ko lang two years after we stop. My parents wants to make sure so they want a DNA.

Zephyr: But Aliyah doesn't agree at first. Eloisa nagged her and after two years she finally agree. Halos kasabay pa ng graduation mo inilabas yung result.

Zephyr: It turns out that I'm not the father of her daughter. 

Ellie: Bago ako pumunta ng ibang bansa alam mo na? 

Zephyr: Yes. I wanted to tell that to you but I stop myself. Pinanood kita habang papaalis ka.

Ellie: Bakit? Hindi ko maintindihan, Zephyr.

Zephyr: Inisip ko na mas maganda kung aalis ka kasi mas makakabuti 'yon sayo. You will love yourself more. You will value yourself more. 

Zephyr: Kasi kailangan mo 'yon, Ellie babe. You need to see your worth. And that's what happen. I'm so proud of you. Deserve mo lahat ng meron ka ngayon.

Ellie: Hindi mo man lang ba naisip na paano kung makamove on ako?

Zephyr: Naisip ko 'yan but I prioritize you. Mas inisip kita. 

Ellie: Nakakatawa lang kasi sa limang taon na 'yon na pinilit ko magmove on na hindi naman pala dapat gawin. 

Zephyr: Atleast you love yourself more, right? You realize your self-worth and look at you now. You're so strong and brave to pursue what you really love kahit ayaw ng pamilya mo. 

Zephyr: Lalo kang tumapang at naging malakas, Ellie babe and I'm proud of you, so much.

Ellie: Ayon nga eh nagawa ko yung gustong-gusto ko na gawin pero yung mahal na mahal ko, hindi. 

Zephyr: Ellie...

Ellie: Yes, I love being a model but how about my heart that only beat for you? Paano yung puso ko na kusang nagpaangkin sayo? 

Ellie: Will you notice me again? 

Zephyr: I will notice you always, Ellie babe. 

Ellie: W-what?

Zephyr: Nasa baba ako. Nilalamok na ako dito, Ellie babe. Let me hug you na, please.

Ellie: Oh my god.
