As I closed the gate, I leaned on it and touched my lips. I smiled by myself and chuckled. Baka makita ako ni Daddy kaya pumasok na ako.
Totoo ba talaga ang mga nangyari? I can't believe it! Like, oh my gosh? Crush-crush ko lang dati, tapos ka-momol ko na ngayon? Pumasok na ako sa bahay para makapagpahinga na kahit natulog lang naman ako buong byahe.
"Adelaide Claire, where have you been?" Tanong agad sa akin ni Dad pagkabukas ko ng main door.
"Uh, hindi po ba pumunta dito si Cheska?" Panliligaw ko ng topic.
"Sabi niya kukuhanin niya ang damit mo dahil aalis daw kayo. Saan ba kayo pumunta?" Nagsalubong na ang mga kilay ni Dad.
"I wasn't with Cheska, Dad," I giggled.
"Then who were you with? Boyfriend mo? Kailan mo siya balak ipakilala sa akin?" Humalukipkip siya.
"Manliligaw pa lang, Daddy," tumawa ako.
"Oh, please, sana si Renzo na!" Sabi niya.
"Dad....." Nagpanggap akong nalungkot. "How insensitive of you..."
Alam niya kasing hindi kami okay ni Renzo. Pero syempre, paga-alalahin ko lang siya. Pero sasabihin ko naman sa kaniya ang totoo, baka mamaya.
"I'm sorry...."
"But.... you're right." Hindi ko na napigil ang sarili ko kundi sabihin na ang totoo.
Umangat ang tingin niya sa akin at nanlaki ang mga mata. Gulat na gulat? I mean sino ba namang hindi?
"Totoo? Nililigawan ka na ni Renzo?!" Natutuwa niyang tinanong.
"Yes, Dad. We went to Rizal, and it just happened." I shrugged.
"What happened?! Did you guys have-"
"Dad, no! Ew!"
I went upstairs immediately. Narinig ko pa ngang sumigaw si Dad.
"Did you even kiss?!"
Tumawa naman ako. Naalala ko nga, sinabi pala sa 'kin ni Dad dati na hihintayin niya daw ang panahong iu-uwi ko si Renzo dito sa bahay at ipapakilalang boyfriend ko. Akala ko hindi na darating. Naghintay lang pala ng kung ilang taon.
I never really thought that we could be together. Because, you know, we were besties, he was a brother-figure, and nothing else. Masaya akong nakapiling ko ulit siya, pero parang it's too good to be true.
Lahat ng 'to, pinapangarap ko lang noon. Pero lahat natupad, kabilang na siya. Sana naman si Renzo na ang forever ko. Ano, pinagtagpo ang mga puso namin para paghiwalaying muli? Huwag naman sana.
Maya-maya, naisipan ko nang ibalita kay Cheska dahil wala naman akong maitatago sa babaitang 'yon.
