"Elle," Panimula nito nang parehas kaming naupo sa office niya. Siya pala ang nag mamanage sa lugar.
"I just want to know the truth Gale." Hindi ako nag paligoy pa.
"Gayle- guh-ail-" He laughed. "I must correct you with that." Umiling nalang ako. Napaka OC ha.
"Okay!" Pasukong sabi ko.
"You should be talking to your parents as well Ellie" Mabait na sambit nito.
"They don't want me to know, kanino pa ako lalapit?"
"Right! the weird woman." Biglang sabi ko at napa tayo. Naalarma naman ito sa sinabi ko at bakas iyon sa kanyang mukha.
"Woah relax. You'll regret it Elle. Please not my mom." Ito na mismo ang nag upo saken sa silya.
"You're her son?"
"Yes I am. But I'm a very bad son for not wanting her as my mom." Malungkot itong nag iwas ng tingin.
"Wait, so you've got hunch already and you decided to come here?" Pag kunpirma nito. Umiling iling lang ako dahil na iinis na rin ako sa mga paligoy-ligoy.
"So tell me Gayle! I'm so sick of this hide and shit thing." Naiiyak kong sabi. Inabutan naman ako nito ng tissue at inusog saken ang baso ng tubig.
"Here look at this." Nilagay ko sa mesa ang dyaryo na siyang tiningnan niya.
"How'd you get this?" Nag aalala nitong tanong.
"It doesn't matter."
"Can you explain that to me?"
"Who the fuck are those people? Bakit involved si mama?"
"Ellen... you're part of the clan." Kunot noong tumitig ako rito. Baka nag jojoke lang ito o ano. Pero hindi eh. His face is serious. Very far from what I've seen on our encounters.
"So my parents are part of it too?"
"No... Just—just you."
"Panong ako lang!?"
"Can you promise to calm down. Baka ibato mo na yan saken." Nguso nito sa baso nang tubig na mahigpit na pala ang pagkaka hawak ko.
"You're blood. Our blood. We have the same shit of blood that's running in our veins Ellen Georgia."
"It's George...and are you saying we're related?" I puffed my cheek and laughed. A forced one. Trying to concede the fear that's starting to build up.
"Very much honey." Iminuestra nito ang mukha. Okay we're both looked like from german descent.
"Delfin Russou. She's the other mom of yours."
"No. What the fuck are you saying!?"
"You said you want the truth?" Baling nito. Inabot saken ang isang album.
"There it's mom and your mother. And the others. They are all insane actually." Itinuro nito saaken ang babae. I gasped because of our physical resemblance. Kung hindi pa ako nag pakulay ng itim ay aakalain mong ako ang nasa litrato.
"We're all are." Para itong tangang nag tatawa mag isa.
"Baliw ka na ba. Tumigil ka nga!" Asik ko rito. Hindi pa kase ito nagsasawa sa kakatawa na tunog baliw na.
"My dear Ellen, you're a product of your mother's insanity."
"Love is indeed dangerous." Dagdag pa nito.
"Where the hell is this Delfin? Saan ko siya makikita!"
"Here," Inabot nito saaken ang isang kaperasong papel na sinulatan.
