THEA
Sobrang kaba nang nararamdaman ko, parang gusto ko ng umuwi. Hindi pa kami nakakababa ng sasakyan ni Deuce ay parang hindi ko na magawang bumaba sa sasakyan. I let out a deep sighed.
Hinawakan ni Deuce ang kamay ko at hinalikan.
"Love, relax.You know them already.Bakit mas kinakabahan ka pa kaysa sa akin," natatawang wika ni Deuce nang napansin siguro ang itsura ko na kabang-kabang."Mommy will definitely be happy if I tell her that you're my girlfriend now."
"Deuce. . . Wag na lang muna natin ipaalam sa kanila. Kausapin mo na lang muna si Ma'am Carlene at mag-sorry ka sa kan'ya. Iyon naman talaga ang usapan 'di ba? Bakit kasi bigla mong naisipan na ipakilala na ako na girlfriend mo? Next time na lang Deuce. . ."
"No.We're here already. Don't worry love. They will like you as my girlfriend ,okay? " mabilis niya akong ginawaran ng halik sa labi bago tuluyang bumaba ng sasakyan.
"Deuce. . ." Tawag ko sa kan'ya nang lumabas na siya ng sasakyan.Wala na rin akong nagawa kundi ang lumabas at sumunod sa kan'ya.
Feeling ko naiihi ako sa sobrang kaba habang naglalakad kami papasok ng bahay nila. Pagpasok namin ay nakangiting sinalubong kami ni sir Marcus at sir Rafael, ang daddy nina Deuce.
Tahimik si Ma'm Carlene na nakaupo sa sala at nakatingin lang. Hindi ko alam kung paano siya babatiin.Nahihiya ako.Noon syempre ayos lang, iba kasi ngayon.
"Good afternoon sir Marcus, sir Rafael and Ma'am Carlene," magalang kong bati sa kanilang tatlo.
"Hi Thea," bati ni sir Marcus. Si sir Rafael naman ay ngumiti lang at tumango.
"Good afternoon hija," bati rin ni Ma'am Carlene.
Nakahinga ako nang maluwag ng bumati rin si Ma'am Carlene.
Umupo kami ni Deuce sa mahabang sofa. Umupo rin si sir Rafael sa isang single couch habang si sir Marcus ay nanatiling nakatayo lang sa gilid dahil busy itong mag-text sa kanyang phone.
"Mom. . ." panimula ni Deuce.
Hindi sumagot si Ma'am Carlene. She's just waiting for Deuce to speak again.
Deuce heaved a sigh before he speak again.
"I'm sorry for what I've acted last time when we talked. I didn't mean to hurt you and disrespect you."
Nagulat ang reaksyon nina Ma'am Carlene, maging si sir Marcus ay mabilis na napatingin kay Deuce.
"Son. . . What can I say? I mean this is the first time you apologize to me," maluha-luhang sagot ni Ma'am Carlene.
Tumayo si Deuce at niyakap si Ma'am Carlene kaya mas lalo itong napaiyak.
"I'm sorry too Son."
Humiwalay ng pagkakayakap si Deuce sa Mommy niya.
"I was just angry that time and you know. . . I was so immature. I didn't understand that you're only doing it for my own my sake. You were just concerned and I am such an asshole for treating you like that Mom, I'm sorry. But I'm not saying that I am matured now, it's just that I do understand you now."
Ngumiti si Ma'am Carlene.
"Is it because of Thea?" makahulugang tiningnan niya ako at ngumiti.
Lalo tuloy akong kinakabahan at nahihiya. Hindi ko sila magawang tingnan. Pakiramdam ay hindi ako nararapat na nandito ngayon.
Tumabi ulit sa akin si Deuce.
"What about Thea honey?" tanong ni sir Rafael.
"I think Deuce has something to say," singit ni sir Marcus.
