EMMANUEL'S POV

________

"Since when you fell out of love with me?"

"Since the day you cheated on me Elijah." Matapang na sagot ni Daddy kay mommy.

"I told you,I never cheated on you-!"

"You was!" Sigaw ni daddy na halos pati ako ay nagulat din. Hindi ko man kita pero ramdam ko.

Kanina ko pa sila pinakikinggan mula dito sa kwarto ko. Rinig na rinig ko ang pag-uusap nila. Kahit na labing-apat palang ako alam kong nag-aayaw sila.

"I'm not." Pilit ni mommy. "Iniisip mo lang yan dahil lagi kang pagod. Iniisip mo lang yan dahil wala kang time para sa akin!"

"Wala? Elijah,I was with our son everyday for his modeling."

"That's the point,Hon. Your always with our son and you don't have time to me..."

"Anong gusto mong gawin ko? Hayaan nalang si Emman? Pati bata pinagseselosan mo?"

"Hindi ganyan ang ibig kong sabihin tsaka sino ba kasing nagsabi na gusto kong mag-model o mag-artista si Emmanuel? Diba hindi ako pumayag? Pero mapilit ka. You're the one who wants this. You are the one who always pushes that thing to me. And you promise.....nangako ka na hindi ka mawawalan ng time sa akin."

"I just want the best for our son."

Sandaling katahimikan ang namayani.

"Yeah right.....for our son. Kahit mawalan ka ng time sa akin basta para sa anak natin okay lang. Look,I'm not being jealous to our child,in fact I am happy. I am. You know what? Because you fulfill your dream that Emmanuel will be a model someday. But I'm frustrated to you, because before Emmanuel took modeling..... we're happy and contented. And you have so so much time to me. And I miss that . Because you promise me that .....i-its will not change."

"Elijah,I'm sorry. Hindi ko napansin. You should tell me."

"No,hon. Hindi ko sinabi dahil masaya akong tinitignan kayo ng anak natin na tinutupad ang pangarap mo para sa kanya. Pero dahil din sa sayang yun...nawawalan kana ng pagmamahal sa akin."

Hindi ko namalayan ang mga takas ng aking luha habang pinakikinggan ang boses ni mommy na sigurado akong umiiyak siya.

"Elijah.....I'm so so sorry. I-i think ...i-i think we need to end this. I want you to set me free."

"What?" Nabasag ang boses ni mommy .

"Ang akala ko ganito lang kadali ang lahat. Nasasaktan ako para sayo,love. I don't want you to get hurt more because of me. I don't know anymore if I still love you. Naguguluhan ako."

Another silence.

"Hon....how about me? How about my feelings? Ganun nalang kadali? I still love you,all I want is your time." Ngayon sigurado na akong umiiyak si mommy.
