"I lied." kapos hininga kong sambit bago tininingnan si dad sa kanyang mga mata at nagpatuloy sa pagsasalita. Wala nang atrasan ito Naivy. You have to face it all.
"WHat do you mean?" Tanong ni Tito Cadmus sa akin, habang seryoso naman ang tingin na ibinabato sa akin ng aking mga magulang. It looks like they understand that this is a serious thing.
"I think we should go inside before we start to speak," Tita Alliana tries to approach me but my mom stops her and they let me speak. "I lied, everything was a lie," I whispered, pero sigurado akong malinaw ito sa pandinig nilang lahat.
"Everything? Anong ibig mong sabihin Naivy?" tanong ni Tita A, sobrang bigat ng pakiramdam ko, I could feel the intense atmosphere that is building up around us and the fear around my body.
I gulp and look straight into my father's arm and said, "I lied, I wasn't pregnant, everything was a lie, Dyky and I weren't really dat—---," bago ko pa matapos ang sasabihin ko isang malakas na sampal mula sa aking ama ang aking natamo.
"Gunner!!!" sabay na sigaw ni Mama at ni Tita A sa gulat at lakas ng pagsampal sa akin ni Dad, I could instantly feel my face turned numb after that slap.
He looked at me with a clenching jaw, visible nerves and disappointed stares. "How could you do this to us!!!" he firmly and darkly said. Hindi ko magawang gumalaw sa aking kinatatayuan at tila ang sampal na aking natamo ay isang sampal ng katotohanan.
I'm such a disappointment to everyone. Dahil doon bumuhos ang aking luha at hindi ko magawang harapin ng maayos silang lahat. "How could you play our minds with your stupid lies, I never taught you things like this Naivy, you are such a disappointment!" Dad shouted at my face, when I glanced at him I saw betrayal pain in his eyes.
Halatang hindi nito inaasahan na manggagaling sa sa sarili niyang anak ang panglolokong kinakaharap niya ngayon. They have been through a lot and yet here I am adding so much disgrace to our family.
"Why did you lie!?!" Napalingon kami kay Tito Cadmus ng seryoso itong nagtanong, tumutulo ang aking luha at panay ang panginginig ng aking kamay ng ito ay harapin. "I choose to lie, Tito, because I was so obsessed with you son and I forced him to do this with me." isang malakas mula na sampal ang aking natanggap mula sa aking ama.
"You lady!" he hissed with glaring eyes at umamba muli ng isa pang sampal pero agad siyang pinigilan ni Mama. Tita A stand beside me and hugged me, inilayo niya ako kay Dad.
"Is this about Killiane? Did Dyky pursue you just to get rid of Killiane? Tell me Niavy, did my son do that?" Tito Cadmus said filled with authority and assurance, tila ba'y kilalang kilala nito ang anak at alam na alam nito ang tumatakbo sa isipan nito.
"N-No, Tito," I tried saving him but, "I don't believe you; I know my son and after hearing this, everything is clear to me, he thinks he can play with me with these games," this is the first time I saw Tito Cadmus mad.
Before I could open my mouth to speak, Dad suddenly speaks and look at me, "You are in fucking big trouble Naivy, I'm bringing you back to Japan!" Dad shouted and grabbed my arms really hard to drag me to his car.
"Gunner, don't hurt her!" sambit ni Mama pinunasan ang aking mga luha, "I'm not hurting her, I'm giving her a lesson, I will never tolerate immature doings like this," Dad said and I can see frustration and disappointments in their eyes.
"Hindi ba dapat makausap na'tin silang dalawa?" Habol na sambit ni Tita A. "There is no need for that, it's our son's fault," Tito Cadmus said.
Ibinaba ni Mama ang bintana ng sasakyan at sinabi, "I'm sorry Ali, but we have to go home, please talk to your son and fix your problems with him, and we'll fix ours." malumanay na sambit ni Mama at agad pinaandar paalis ni Papa ang sasakyan.
