"bakit ikaw po yung sasama saken today?" Tanong ko
"Ahmm, anak aalis kasi kami before Christmas eh, gustong dalhin ni Cindy si Clyde sa Zamboanga at dun mag Christmas and New year" sambit ni daddy
"Wala ka po sa Christmas?" I asked
"Yes, pero sa birthday mo i promise dadating ako, i will be your last dance" sambit ni Daddy
"Hmmm, okay" sambit ko
Bumaba na ako at dumeretso sa tent kung saab ako mag memake up. Today's gonna be a long day for me.
"Surprise" sambit ni Kuya
"Omg...." I shouted
Sumunod sina kuya dahil kasama sila sa Shoot. Dumating din si Kuya Luis, most probably silang tatlong lalaki ang kasama ko.
"Ms. Gracie pinapasabi po ni Maam Irenw tomorrow may shoot kayong dalawa together with Ms. Imee and your Lola Meldy" sambit ni Tarra secretary ni Mommy
"Tarra? Pakisabi kay Mommy pumunta sya dito ngayon, we need to have a family pic, kasi ipapaframe ko" sambit ko
"Ms. Baka di po sya makarating" sambit ni Tarra
"And why??" Kuya Luis asked
"She's with Melvin, her suitor" sambit ni Kuya alfonso na halos ikahulog ko sa kinauupuan ko
"Wait? What? Melvin the who?" I asked
"May man liligaw ang mommy nyo?" Daddy asked
"Parang ganon na nga dad" sambit ni Kuya Alfonso
"Alam mo, ihahang kita sa windmill" sambit ko
"Excuse me" sambit ni Daddy bago lumabas ng tent
"Dadd~" sambit ko
"Tarra please call her, isasabit ko kayo ng mommy sa windmill kasama nung Melvin na yon" i said
"Ms. Gracie, ready na po" sambit ng photographer
Hindi ko alam kung pano ko aalisin ang inis ko. Nag umpisa na ang shoot at hindi umiimik si Daddy saken.
"Hi anak, this is Mel~" i cut mommy off
"Melvin? Your suitor?" Sambit ko
"Hi Gracie, nakekwento ka ng mommy mo saken, and your really really beautiful pala in person" sambit ni Melvin sabay abot ng flowers
"You must be Alfonso" sambit nya kay Kuya Luis
"Im Luis, and Alfonso's there, with our dad" pag didiin ni Kuya Luis habang nakikipag kamay kay Melvin
"So your mommy's suitor? How long?" I asked
"Last month" mommy answered
"Last month??? Ggrrrrrrrrrr" pag irap ko kay mommy at Melvin. I dropped the flowers at pumunta kay Daddy
"Gracie!" Sigaw ni mommy
"Mom" sambit ni Kuya alfonso
"Ma'am change your clothes na po we're having Family picture" sambit ng Photographer
"Ah-ehh, wag na" sambit ni Mommy sabat lingon kay Melvin
"Tarra, pakitwagan si Papa Bonget at si Mommy Liza, also sina Mama Imee at Papa Tommy" sambit ko
"Ba-bakit miss?" Tanong ni Tarra
"Tell them na mag papa family pic kami" sambit ko
"Call my brother's din, kuya Michael, Borgy, Matthew, then Sandro, vinny and simon" sambit ko
"They're busy anak" sambit ni Mommy
"Kahit sina Mama Imee at Papa Tommy na lang kahit wag na sina Kuya, andito naman sina Kuya Luis eh" sambit ko
"Ang lakas naman ng loob mong dalhin yang lalake mo dito" sambit ni Daddy
[I never heard silence quiet this loud]
"Sorry ha, hindi lang talaga maayos ang family namin" sambit ni Mommy
"Bat kailangan kong maranasan yung Broken family? Hahahahahha" i faked my laugh
Tahimik lang kami not until dumating sina mama imee. Nag umpisa na ulit ang shoot at nakita kong kausap ni Mama Imee si Melvin at kausap naman ni Papa Bonget si Mommy.
I know that mommy deserves to be happy, but having a new guy in her life, I can't really imagine her happiness. I don't want her to get hurt again. Pero kung yan ang gusto nya wala naman akong magagawa.
I know, as her daughter i should support her, but I can't. I already give my forgiveness to dad and, i see his sincerity. Pinag sisisihan nyang hindi nya kami pinag laban. But knowing that mom having a new guy, mas lalo lang akong nawawalan ng pag asang mabubuo pa ang pamilyang pinapangarap ko
