Seiné Maurice, calling...
What do you want now? Kunot-noong ani ng binata sa kaniyang isipan.
Matagal tagal na rin mula ng huli itong tumawag. At ang pinakahuli ay tungkol pa sa kaniyang ina. Bagay na hindi niya naman pinapaniwalaan. Seiné Maurice keeps on telling him about his mom, without proof that Guillaume's mom is missing him.
"Why did you tell Deschía that I'm your boyfriend, huh? Are you really that illusional!?" he thrown those words frankly but still trying to calm his aura. Ngunit hindi niya napigilan ang pagka-inis sa kaniyang tinig.
"Guillaume!" pagtawag nito sa kaniyang ngalan. Binabalewala ang kaniyang mga tinuran.
He was surprised on how the way he called her. It's like a loud whisper. She's like shouting his name on a silent voice.
"Come here in the backyard's equipment's house. I know this is some quite impossible for you but this is important. I saw your father and Tito Dimensio entered that small space. I don't know what they will going to do on that but I am totally sure it has some underground place or whatever, surely invented and built by my father."
"Oh, ano ngayon ang ipinupunto mo?" he sarcastically asked.
"Bon sang! I'm tired of pretending that I'm good in understanding your tagalog words! Just come here! ASAP!" she hurriedly said.
"Porquoi aurais-je?" Why would I? He coldly asked with his 'I'm not interested' tone again.
"Because my father and your mom just got entered that freaking equipment's house, too! I don't know what they will all going to talk about this time but I am telling you, Tita is really here."
Walang preno, mabilis at nagmamadali ang pananalita nito ngunit lahat ng 'yon ay malinaw na naintindihan ng binata. For the meantime, he was literally shocked.
Did dad and mom are seeing each other all the time?
Iyon agad ang unang tanong na pumasok sa kaniyang isipan.
Ang bilang ng mga tao ang pumigil sa kaniyang pagiging emosyonal. Lalo na ang titig ng kaniyang minamahal. Alam niyang mula pa noong pag-alis niya ay palihim na itong tumitingin. He also knew that Peur Fierschelle saw who the caller is. Maybe that made her curiosity awakened. Marahil ay dahil doon kaya hindi maalis ng dalaga ang kaniyang lihim na mga sulyap sa kaniya.
Should I tell this to my Fierschelle?
He seriously looked at her before ending the call and putting it back to his pocket. Nakamasid lamang ang dalaga hanggang sa makaupo siyang muli. Hindi siya sigurado at hindi niya rin alam ang akmang mga salita para sa kaniyang bubuohing paliwanag kaya naman nagdesisyon siyang huwag muna.
For sure she'll understand. I'll tell her everything once I figured out what the truth is.
"I need to talk to Dad," he said.
Iyon talaga ang plano niyang gawin. Ang alamin kung totoo ba ang sinasabi ni Seiné Maurice sa pamamagitan ng direktang pagtatanong sa kaniyang ama. Walang paligoy-ligoy. Walang pag-aalinlangan. Matagal bago muling nakasagot ang dalaga.
"Sure," she said.
"I'll be back." He seriously added.
"Take your time."
"Babalikan kita rito." He seriously said that as if he's promising. Talking with so much assurance.
"Take care."
