I was in the middle of crying when i received a phone call from Kendall. Huming amuna ako ng malalim para kalmahin ang sarili ko bago sagutin "Hi baby!" Bati ko.
[Mommy! Ahmm, i was wondering if you're free hehe]
"Oh, why—? Oh, right i promised to take you out on the park" i chuckled. "Sure, let's go, bihis kana susunduin nalang kita ha? Love you"
[Sige mommy! Love din po!] she ended the call, kinausap kodin si ate at halatang naiistress sa ginawa ng anak niya.
"Ate, she's just a kid, yaan mona. Ako bahala" Tumawa ako.
[Wag mong iniispoil masyado. Jusko wag mong pagtitripan anak ko. Maganak kana din kasi] Sermon niya.
"Eh, ate i have no time, tsaka... I dunno, it's uncomfortable to ask him naman kingina"
[Sana lang dimo nakakalimutan yung contract]
"Ate, i still have 2 and a half year to have kids. Im just not sure by now. Nagkakalabuan e"
[Still, i don't want you to be in hell again]
"They can't manipulate me anymore. I won't let them. Gosh ate, naluluha nako babye na aalis pa kami ng anak mo" i chuckled, sunod sunod pa paalala niya bago binaba yung tawag, i still texted Nicholai na may lakad ako sa if ever na umuwi siya tonight i might be late for dinner.
From: Nicholai
Im working, stop texting me damn it Franchesca.
I suddenly felt bad when i received his reply. I just pursed my lisp to stop myself from crying again.
I fetched Kendall on their house, nagaaya sa mall kaya pinuntahan namin yung mall ni Yanna.
"Is ninang Yanna here?" tanong niya.
"Probably yes. Let's go" i held her hand, kumain muna kami tsaka nagarcade, she brought so many clothes. Kung ano ano pa ginawa namin sa mga booths and cafe's.
"Mommy let's go to Watson's please?" nagpuppy eyes siya kaya ala akong nagawa. Kanina pa niya ako kinukulit e, pero angcute, diko keri.
Napahinto nalang ako nang makita ko si Nicholai.. He's with Flaire... "Mommy?" Kendall looked at me with confusion in her eyes.
"Ah- Yes? Let's pick another store nalang please?" i don't want it here. Its the atmosphere, it's heavily suffocating.
"Why? Dito nalang mommy, masakit nadin paa ko kakalakad e" she pouted kaya ala akong nagawa.
I just sighed and had her go, hinayaan ko siyang kunin mga gusto niya. Umupo nalang ako sa isang gilid, covering my face, my eyes started to heat again. Fuck.
Naramdaman kong tumabi siya sakin, i can smell him so i tried to act casual. "Im sorry for pushing you away earlier I—"
"I don't care whatever your reason is. Tapos naman na, nothing will change." Derederetso kong saad ng hindi bumabaling ng tingin sakanya. "At bakit nandito ka? Kasama mo si Flaire right? You shouldn't have let her be alone, baka saksakin na naman niya sarili niya" i bitterly stated.
"Xyrille, can you understand me for now? Please, i really need this" he replied.
"I always did" i stood up and fixed my shirt. "But i don't think i can understand you until i break." i glanced at him and left. Pinuntahan kona si Kendall.
I saw her arguing with Flaire kaya natawa ako, Kendall is more like a mini ver of me, hindi nagpapatalo sa sagutan. "I got this first" tinaas ni Kendall yung last na lip balm.
"But im older than you, you little brat!" she was about to slap Kendall pero hinawakan ko agad yung pulso niya.
She was shocked of my sudden appearance "Don't lay a finger on my niece you slut" marahas kong bintiwan yung pulso niya. "Are you alright baby?" i kneeled down and cupped Kendall's cheeks, tumabgo naman agad siya. "Let's go love. I'll take care of your bills nalang" hinila kona siya palabas.
