CHAPTER 39
REVELATION
Damian's POV
Dash and Iris reconciled after that huge fight they had the other night. Ngayong bumalik na si Dashiell mula sa Academy ay mas napapadalas na ang pagpunta niya sa office. Nakikita ko siyang hinahatid pa sa floor si Iris bago iwan. Sometimes he would even stay for a couple of minutes.
I didn't dare to ask the reason for their misunderstanding but I was hoping it wasn't because of me. Nakikiramdam tuloy ako kung alam na ba ni Dash ang sikreto namin ng girlfriend niya. But I guess I was just overthinking. Pinapansin pa 'ko ng kapatid ko kaya mukhang hindi iyon ang pinagawayan nila.
"Kuya..." sambit ni Dash. Lumapit pa siya sa table ko at sumandal doon. "May nabanggit ba sa'yo si Papa tungkol sa kanila ni Mama?"
I instantly frowned. "What do you mean?"
"I heard Mom crying last night, sa kuwarto nila. She sounded angry but at the same time, hurt? I couldn't understand the words clearly."
Nalaman na siguro ni Mama ang sakit ng asawa niya...
Nagkibit balikat ako. "I'm clueless too."
He sighed. "I hope they'll fix whatever it is."
"I'm sure they will. Matatanda na sila Dash. Annulment isn't one of their options for situations like that."
Natawa siya sa sinabi ko ngunit halata sa mukha niyang nagwo-worry siya.
I wish I could tell him about Dad's disease. Kailan pa kaya balak ni Papa sabihin kay Dash? Kapag malala na ang sakit niya?
Biglang lumapit si Iris sa amin kaya naman parehas kami ni Dash na napatingin sa kanya.
"Hey." Dash smiled and wrapped his arms around Iris' waist. "I'm about to leave. Sunduin kita mamaya?"
"Sure." Iris looked at me and gave me a tight smile before kissing Dashiell's cheeks. "Ingat ka pauwi."
They looked perfect together and I hate it.
Tumingin na ulit ang kapatid ko sa akin kaya naman inalis ko na ang titig ko kay Iris. Ngumisi siya na para bang may naalala siya. "By the way, I saw your girlfriend earlier. Why didn't you tell me she's here?"
"Girlfriend?"
"The one you introduced to me back in Australia. What was her name again?"
"Si Nova?" gulat na tanong ko. Iris furrowed her brows but didn't utter a word. Nakatingin lang siya sa akin habang yakap yakap siya ni Dash. "Saan mo siya nakita?" curious na tanong ako.
I know we already cut our communication but I'm still hoping to see her. Kung nandito siya para magbakasyon, sana magkita man lang kami. She was my bestfriend after all.
"Downstairs," pagtawa niya. "Sinusundo ka na yata."
"Sa baba?!"
"Wait, hindi mo alam? Oh. Was she going to surprise you? Sh*t, nasira ko pa yata ang plano niya."
I was stunned.
