Menace
He held my hand and escorted me out of the hospital. I didn't even had a chance to thank the nurses he hired for me. Dalawang araw lang naman akong tumagal dito dahil maganda naman ang pag-alaga sa akin.
"Be careful," si Dion sa likod ko nang papasok na ako sa loob ng sasakyan.
Last night, he kept on saying sorry about last time. I didn't show any sense about last time I saw them with Elisha.
"I'm sorry," he whispered and kiss my cheeks.
I was laying on the bed. Dion sitting beside me, planting more kisses and kept apologizing.
"It's okay. It's not that I'll go die."
"My grandma had a big fight that time with tito sky," he started.
I was listening the whole time. He was holding my hand and playing it. Nakakasanayan niya nang laruin ito. He's doing circle on it and sometimes flexing every fingers. Minsan naman ay hahaplusin.
"Tito decided to run congressman in Cebu. They are against with that for many reasons."
I stared to our intertwined hands before looked up at him. Kung iisipin naman, ayoko rin sa desisyon ng tito niya. Although it will be a big benefit for them to have someone who is a great fond of leading his people, it will also scarry knowing you defeated a person who doesn't accept any loss. And it is frightening. I don't think I'll live a life if ever I'd run as a politician. That's critical. I don't even sure if I'd make home from being shot by a gun of some random people being paid by his opponent.
Politics will always remain dirty even how educated a person is. Everyone turns evil just to get their will. I wonder what they feel campaigning—not afraid of getting shot in front of many people. I'd probably die from anxiety.
"What do you think? Is it a good idea?" tanong ko sa kan'ya.
He raised a bit of his brows. "Whatever his decision is, I think it's for a better."
Inis akong bumangon sa pagkakahiga. He moved when he saw me. Inalalayan niya ako.
"So, if there is any chances and you will offered to join one. Sasali ka?" I asked—full of annoyance.
"It's not a bad idea," he simply answered without even thinking.
Inis ang ipinukol ko sa kan'ya. Hindi makapaniwala na gano'n siya mag-isip.
"Akala ko ba matalino ka? Bobo ka rin pala," nahiga na lang ako at inalis ang kamay niya na nakahawak sa akin.
He chuckles.
"What?" He asked innocently.
"I'd kill you first before getting shot," I warned.
He let a soft chuckles and kiss my cheeks. Niyakap niya ako sa huli nang mapansin ang pag-iwas ko.
Hinatid ako ni Dion sa bahay galing sa school. Wala pa rin si papa. Hindi ko na rin ma-contact sa kan'yang numero. It's almost a week. I'm totally healed from being confined pero wala pa rin siya. Ngayon lang niya ginawa ito.
I was doing chores when someone knocked. Binuksan ko 'yun and saw unfamiliar old man. Maayos ang pananamit nito. Nakasuot ng eyeglasses na itim.
"Dito ba ang bahay ni Jovic?" tanong nito sa kataasang boses.
Nangunot and noo ko at nagtataka. Bakit nito hinahanap si papa?
"Hanggang ngayon hindi pa siya nakakauwi mula noong nakaraang sabado," sagot ko.
