Kabanata 44: NEVER GAVE UP

CELESTE

"So ano na nga ba?, sino pinapunta mo dun?."

Napaharap ako sakaniya mula sa pagkaudlot sa pagdila ng isang strawberry ice cream na kinakain namin ngayon habang nakaupo sa isang ordinaryong bench.

I looked at her with a sigh. "She said she hates me," I wondered if i will mention to her what my daughter said before, because i still hurt from then, until now.

She was looking at me intently while waiting for my answer. I heaved a sigh...again.

"And...and she wants her father than me." I sadly replied. She suddenly felt cold and i can sense it, she stopped by eating and licking the top of the ice cream and caressed my back.

"It's just a misunderstanding Celes, don't be upset to your daughter. I know she really, really loves you too as her mother, but for now-" She stared and sighed before shrugging. "Give her time, your daughter knows what she was doing." She added.

"I hope so," I said before licking my ice cream again. "Ayokong magtagal ang galit niya saakin." I whispered.

"Baka kasi siguro, talagang may pinagmanahan. Ano ka ba!."

"Baliw!." I rolled my eyes. Masyado nakong magtatampo ng husto kung lahat nalang ng bagay, sa ama nila nakuha.

Aba'y syempre, i carried them in my womb for nine months and gave birth to them with a great deal of pain and yet after all, all they had was just from their father. Well, it's so unfair for me!.

I am their mother!...

"And i am their father, you can't make them by your own without me!."

Napailing nalang ako sa nagawang imahinasyon ng aking pasaway na utak. Bigla ba namang pumasok ang palaging bukang bibig nung lalaking yun sa utak ko!.

"Babae!."

"Ay puke mo!."

"Tangina neto oh, nagkaanak at lovelife lang. Nagiging bastos na. Tsk, tsk..."

"Wag ka naman kasing bigla-bigla nalang magngugulat!. Nakakanerbyos ka!." I spanked her while she was just laughing harder.

"Hoy!, hoy!, hoy!. Yung ice cream mo, nahulog na!." Kaagad akong napatingin sa baba dahil sa sinabi niya.

Talagang hinanap ko yung ice cream kong nahulog mula paahan ko hanggang ilalim ng upuan, pero wala naman akong nakita.

"Asan ba?," I confusedly asked. Narinig ko nalang na isang tawa ang palakas ng palakas hanggang sa mapatingin nako dito.

"Ano?, nakita mo?."

Napakamot ako sa ulo ko bago napanguso, nasaan ba kasi?!.

Nagulat nalang ako ng humaglpak siya ng tawa, hindi lang basta tawa. Yung tawa na kayang patinginin lahat ng taong dumaraan sa paligid namin.

"Anong tinatawa-tawa mo diyan?!, ha?. You should help me you witch!, baka magalit saatin yung janitor na kadaraan lang sa harapan natin kanina!. Ano ba Lexi?!." Bulyaw ko dito. Halos makuha niya na kasi lahat ng pansin. Nakakahiya pa naman!, skandalosa kaya 'tong kasama ko!, heller!.
