Chapter 13

Missing

Hale's in love with me.

"Pero...ayaw ko pa sanang magbuntis muna sa ngayon, Hale." I said while we were quietly and comfortably cuddled in bed after making love again.

Nag-angat ako ng tingin kay Hale na tahimik. Bahagya akong bumangon at tumukod sa hubad niyang dibdib. Para maharap ko siya. "Nag-aaral pa kasi ako at gusto ko rin munang makatapos. Gusto rin sana kitang tulungan sa pagtatrabaho..."

"You don't really have to work. I can work alone and provide for us. But...if you really want to work...then I think I'll let you if that's really what you want. I can give you a position in my company after you finish your studies."

Ngumiti ako kay Hale. "Thank you, Hale." And I had this urge again to kiss him this time. And so yumuko ako and kissed him on his lips.

Hinayaaan naman ako ni Hale na halikan siya.

I think it was a good thing na dinatnan agad ako sa sumunod na araw. I had my period. And I asked Hale if I could go to a doctor to ask for advise. Pinayagan naman niya agad ako.

"I'll recommend the pill, para ma regulate na rin natin ang menstruation mo dahil irregular ka pala."

Tumango ako. "Thank you, doctor."

Ngumiti ito sa akin. "You're welcome, Mrs. Salcedo."

So since that day I started taking the pill. S'yempre gusto ko namang magkaanak kami ni Hale. Pero tingin ko ay hindi pa talaga ngayon ang tamang panahon. Bukod sa gusto ko ngang makapagtapos muna ng pag-aaral at para makatulong kay Hale sa hinaharap, iniisip ko rin sina Angel at Gelo. Unti-unti pa nga lang naaayos ang relasyon ni Hale sa mga anak niya... At hindi pa rin ako nagiging malapit sa kambal... I sighed.

"Ma'am Liz," Nakangiting salubong sa akin ni Manang Lucille nang nakita niya akong kabababa lang sa unang palapag ng mansyon. "May kailangan po ba kayo?"

"Ang mga bata po, Manang?" Wala kasi silang pasok ngayon sa school. At nasa trabaho naman si Hale.

"Ah, nasa mga kwarto po nila. Ipapatawag ko po."

"Uh, hindi na po, Manang." maagap kong pigil dito. Ngumiti ako. "Ayos lang po. Ako na po ang pupunta sa kanila sa mga kwarto nila. At ako naman ang may kailangan sa mga bata."

"Naku, sigurado po ba kayo?"

Tumango ako kay manang at ngumiti. "Opo, ayos lang."

"Sige po."

And then after that I went back upstairs to go to the kids' bedrooms. I've never been to their private rooms before. At ngayon ay susubukan ko lang. I'm really trying my best to reach out to them. I just hope that one day they'd find it in their hearts to let me in their life somehow...

"Angel..." Nauna akong kumatok sa kwarto ni Angel.

After a while she opened her door. Sinalubong ko siya ng isang ngiti. "Hello, Angel. Are you doing something? Are you busy?"

She just remained looking at me for a while. Before she slowly shook her head. And then she opened her door a little wider as if she's letting me in her room if I want to even if I can also see it in her face that she was still a bit hesitant. My smile widened.
