"manang okay ka lang" nabalik naman ako sa katinuan ng nasa gilid ko na si irene
"ah what" tanong ko
"nothing, i'm just asking you if your okay" sagot niya, i smile
"yeah i'm okay irene. teka mag c-cr muna ako. ikaw muna dito" akmang aalis naman na ako ng pigilan niya ako
"i'll go with you" i rolled my eyes
"nung nag cr ka ba kanina sinamahan ba kita" naiinis na tanong ko sakanya
"hindi" she said
"oh diba so you don't need to go with me. i can take care of myself, wag naman pati sa cr irene" natawa nalang siya before she let me.
dali dali naman na akong pumunta ng Cr then nagsimula nang tumulo ang luha ko, kung ikaw nga yon rod
the nerve of you to do this to me! i trusted you so much, pero baka naman nag o-overthink lang ako
at dahil public cr to may bigla namang pumasok kaya pumasok na ako sa isang cubicle then i lock it.
i grab my phone and dial's rod secretary.
"maam imee"
"hello andiyan ba si mr. president sa malacañang" halos ibulong ko naman ang mga words ko because someone might hear me pag nilakasan ko
"ah ma'am kanina pa po umalis si mr. president"
"ah ganon ba, okay thanks. andiyan ba si bong go" tanong ko ulit
"he's with ambassador ma'am"
"okay" i ended the call immediately bago pa tuluyang tumulo ang luha ko
i will do everything for you anak, hindi ko hahayaan masira ang lahat ng ganon ganon lang
we can't throw this relationship in just one snap rod. i'll make sure hindi kita papakawalan magtitiis ako kung kinakailangan
agad ko naman nang pinunasan ang mga luha ko bago ako lumabas then suddenly i saw honeylet retouching her face oh come on honey stop thinking that your face would change by putting a layer of foundation
she look at me in shock before she smile at me, she about to kiss me when i immediately handed her my hand.
"oh nice to meet you senator of all the places dito pa kita makikita" i bitterly smile, I wish i didn't see you here.
seeing you was like a bad dreams for me, i don't know but i'm not comfortable with ms. honeylet pakiramdam ko any moment may gagawin siyang hindi kanais nais saakin
is she know about me and rod? about my baby? gosh.
"nice to meet you again ms. honeylet, what are you doing here" i smile as i asked that
"refreshing myself because this past few days i feel like horrible" she said
oh come on honey. you're the horrible
"with who" tanong ko, out of curiosity tsaka gusto ko na rin ma clear if that's rod.
please hindi...dapat hindi siya
"with mr. president, actually he's there waiting for me outside. ay nako alam kong matutuwa yon if he knew that your here" i awkwardly smile but deep inside parang sasabog na ang puso ko
hindi ko nalang sana tinanong, dapat di na ako nagtanong.
"come let's go outside he's there" di na ako nakapagsalita na hawakan niya ang palapulsuan ko at hilain ako palabas. i know she's doing this for a purpose.
pagkalabas naman namin halos bumagsak ang mga luha ko ng magkatinginan kami ni rod
di naman siya makapaniwalang nakatingin saakin, i think he's wondering why i'm here
sino ba namang hindi magugulat na magkaharap na ang dalawang pinagsasabay niya.
you messed everything again rod.
"mr. president" ako na ang bumasag ng katahimikan before i make a shake hands on him and he about to kiss me nang lumayo na ako
"it's nice seeing you here mr. president with your first lady i thought, bagay na bagay" pagbibiro ko pa while emphasizing the first lady
"uhm senator imee she's not my first lady" finally rod spoke up.
"magiging palang" singit ni honeylet, bahagya naman akong napangiti
"really, ohh i love it. can't wait na ma i-announce yan sa pilipinas tiyak matutuwa ang sambayanang pilipino" di makapaniwalang nakatingin naman si rod saakin.
kung alam mo lang kung gaano kahirap makipag plastikan sa kabit mo rod.
"mr. president your really lucky to have ms. honeylet in your life. bagay na bagay kayo" hirit ko pa before i bite my lower lips.
"mas swerte ako sakanya senator" agad namang kumapit si honeylet sakanya, napangiti nalang ako
"manang bat antagal mo kanina pa kita hinahanap binayaran ko na pala mga gamit ni baby-" naputol naman ang sasabihin niya ng sabay na lumingon si rod at honeylet on her way.
i saw a shock on her face but she manage to smile lalo pa nakita ni irene na todo hawak si honeylet kay rod.
"baby? you have baby senator imee?" namula naman ako sa tanong ni honeylet. if gossiping is crime i do honor to arrest you honeyletche
"yeah that's baby things pangregalo kase namin, alam mo na ninang everywhere ako" sabay naman kaming natawa and even if it's awkward i manage to smile
"i'm glad to see you here mr. president" nakipag kamay naman si irene kila rod
"this my sister ms. honeylet, irene" pagpapakilala ko kay irene
"oh nice meeting you irene. your genes are looking fine, ang gaganda ng lahi niyo" i fake my smile
"thank you ms. honeylet but i think iuuwi ko na ang ate ko" napatingin naman si rod kay irene
"ah why? did you not want to join us for lunch" irene smile panely
"i'm sorry ms. honeylet my sister need to go home nahihilo na po kase siya eh right ate" nakita ko naman na tumingin si rod saakin na para bang nagaalala
"i think we will just set a date to eat somewhere next time ms. honeylet. see you both around lovers. see you mr. president" we didn't wait their words at agad nang lumayo sakanila
naramdaman ko naman ang pagkirot ng puso ko pero agad kong pinigilan ang mga luha ko.
gaya ng sabi ko kaya kong tiisin ang lahat para sayo rod wag mo lang kaming iwan ng anak mo
"are you okay ate" tanong ni irene tumango lang ako, kung pwede ko lang sabihin irene na hindi ako okay sinabi ko na sayo
pero i can't tell it to you irene i just don't know how to start dahil hanggang ngayon iniisip ko kung saan ba ako nagkulang?
may nakalimutan ba ako o may nagawa ba akong mali? o baka ikaw talaga ang nagkamali rod at hindi ako.
