IRENE
The hearing was moved after na ng birthday ni Gracie. Nag walk out sya at hindi namin alam kung nasan sya. We tried to call her pero nirereject nya lahat ng calls ko.
Umuwe na kami just to try if she's already at home.
"Manang? Nakauwe na ba sya?" Tanong ko kay Manang Imee
"Nahanap sya ni Greggy, andon sila sa kwarto" sambit ni Manang
"Sige salamat" sambit ko
Umakyat ako sa taas at nakita kong nakayakap si Gracie kay Greggy habang natutulog.
"Greggy? Sige na, pwede ka nang umuwe" sambit ko
"Pano ako makakaalis? She was hugging me at kapag tumatayo ako nagagalit sya" sambit ni Greggy
"Anak, uuwe na di Daddy, dito kana lang kay Mommy at kay Tito Melvin" sambit ko
"Hmmmm, daddy, please stay, sleep with me" sambit ni Gracie sabay siksik kay Greggy
"Hayaan mo na Irene, it's her dad naman eh" sambit ni Melvin
"Then let's just have a coffee downstairs" sambit ko
~~~
"Until when?" Melvin asked
"When?" I asked
"Hanggang kelan tayo mag papanggap? Hanggang kelan mo titiising makitang nasasaktan ang anak mo dahil saken?" He asked
"Wait? What?" I asked
"I know Irene, narinig ko kayo ni Ate Imee na mag kausap about us, you told her that you only doing this just to prove that you fall out of love on Greggy"
"To make him feel jealous, at umasa ka na baka sakaling iwan kana din nya at tuluyan syang bumitaw"
"You will never ever be falling inlove with someone else unless its him? Right?" I asked
"O-oo" pag tango ko
"Hindi ako mag tataka kung bakit ganon na lang din umasa ang mga anak mo na mag kakabalikan kayo" sambit ni Melvin
"You have a strong Family Irene, and i know that falling inlove with me with the short period of time is not easy"
"I want to marry you because you love me, not because you want Greggy to make feel, jelous"
"Kasi sa totoo lang hindi ko kayang maging ama sa mga anak mo, alam kong madami katangian si Greggy na maarin nilang hanapin saaken"
"Me-melvin" nauutal kong sabi
"Pero hindi ako bibitaw sa kung anong meron tayo kasi mahal kita" sambit nya
"I love you Irene" bulong nya sabay yakap saken
"I will love you and continue loving you" sambit nya
"Im sorry" sambit ko
"It's okay, let's just continue this until you moved on" sambit ni Melvin
