SANYA

“I REALLY don't want you to be there Sanya, but since your mother agreed, I don’t have a choice but to agree too."

“Dad?” I blinked at him. I was doing my homework when Dad barged in… and said that.

“Kung ganiyan lang din naman na puro landi, para saan?!”

What the—?!

“DAD! If you're talking about Jiro, stop! I am not flirting with him!” Halos ipit na ang boses ko para pigilang sumabog.

Umiling lang si Dad, “you won't come.”

I looked at him with judgement. Napahigpit ang kapit ko sa ballpen na hawak ko. “What—why? It's not that I would be in a relationship with him. He's just the one I can talk to— I-I don't even know kung pupunta siya this year.”

Everything turned upside down, really. I can’t believe that Dad would be against with me, I mean I really know he would disagree, but this! This is not fair! Feeling ko pinaasa lang ako.

February na at hindi pa nakakapag-book ng flight si Dad. Siguro umaasa siya na ganito! Na hindi ako makasama. Do he dislike Jiro that much?

“He’s a guy, Sanya! He is still a guy! He would do something to you—”

I felt like someone snapped at me. Padabog kong hinampas ang ballpen sa notebook ko at doon na tumayo. “Why? Gano'n mo ba kinuha si Mom?” I can’t help but to glare when he grunted. “I don’t have any intention of being in a relationship with Jiro! And I know he feel the same! At kung mali ako, matagal na akong wala dito!”

Dad stilled. I can feel Dad's guilt as he massaged his temple. I really don't know where he is coming from. He… he is the best actor for being so natural when he agreed! Or… he also doesn’t care about me but Mom.

Oh, yeah. Where am I at this family? Para saan pa na andito ako kung sila-sila lang din naman ang nag-uusap at nagpaparamdam sa isa't-isa.

Dad let out a heavy sigh. “Okay, Sanya. Since your Mom agreed and she have a good feeling for Jiro, I'll let you talk to him.”

Err—wait? Mom have a good feeling for Jiro? Since when? Is that why she was acting weird back then? Do they had a talk before? Does she trust Jiro? Well, all I know is those questions will be left unanswered. There’s no way Mom would tell me everything.

And this, Dad doing that for Mom? Wow. Really.

“Sanya.” I looked at Dad. “You’ve become a brat to your mother when we were in Japan,” I mentally rolled my eyes, “you don’t bring phones! You were not coming home at the exact time! You will often saw with Jiro!”

“Dad!” Kunot na ang noo ko na nakatingin sa kaniya. “Jiro don't have his sister and he is the only one I know, what do you want me to do? And Dad! Hinahatid niya ako! And what? Kapag hindi niya ako hinatid, sasabihin niyong GAGO siya? Kapag hinatid, you will give an issue when he's just being a gentleman.”

Dad just stood up in front of me. His face already telling me I can’t come. I stopped myself from crying. All I just want is to rest.

Yes, I want to see Jiro but… I just want to rest! I may broke rules a lot but… Jiro is out of it!

Those are my choice. I would stay infront of the hotel everytime Jiro leaves. I would just stay there, feeling the wind and just viewing the Sakura. I… just want to feel nature.

Kung alam ko lang na ganito, hindi na sana ako nag-abalang tumambay sa entrance at dumeretso na lang sana sa room namin.

Dad sighed, “okay, sorry,” he said that is obviously not sincere. Dad let another frustrated sigh. “I'll think of it. I will list those new rules. Once you broke one of them, you can’t come back there anymore. Gets?”
