Solita [Completed]

Warning 13

He cleared his throat. "Well, I have a lunch meeting later nearby, so I drop by here to check on you since your mother told me you slept here last night." Humigop ng kape ang aking ama.

Palusot!

Sumingkit ang aking mata habang tinitignan ang ayos nito sa aking tapat.

Based on my father's look, he slept here too last night. His hair is still wet and messy, plus a stain of shade lipstick that Mama is currently wearing on her lips is on my father's white dress shirt collar.

A smudge, almost invisible if I didn't stare at his upper lips. Naghalikan silang dalawa! Damn, of course they've done more than kiss each other, and if they conceive a little baby afterwards, I will be the happiest Ate!

Kung hindi pa menopause si mama!

I sip on my milk before flashing a grin.

"You mean you dropped by since last night and slept here? Where did you sleep? Oh, is that a hickey on your neck?" Kalmado lamang si Papa, kahit lantaran na nang-aasar ang mga tanong ko.

Mama came back together with the servers, carrying a cloche, and the others were pushing a cart of food.

Mahilig magluto ang mama ko. Her skills in cooking are superb! I enjoyed eating a lot without anyone stopping me!

"Let's eat!" Her happy tone makes sense.

Kanina pa nakalapag ang mga kubyertos. Hindi ko lamang inaasahan ang pagtayo ni Mama upang igiyang lagyan ng pagkain ang plato ko at fruit juice on my glass.

"Ang sabi ng mamá ay hindi ka pala kain dahil ayaw mong manaba. Gusto kong kumain ka ng tama ngayon, pagpuro diet ay hindi rin maganda sa kalusugan." Lola lied to her. I have a strict diet, which I never like, ma, but only if you knew.

I wish I had the courage to tell you how I was mistreated there, though it was my decision to be in that situation. Wala na, hindi ko na mababalikan ang oras, marami narin akong nagawa kasalanan.

Nag-umpisa kaming kumain nang walang dasal, hindi dahil sa gutom na gutom na kami kundi ganito talaga simula ng pagkabata ko. I believe in God, but I don't have a religion; wala ganito sa family namin. My brothers were atheists, and I think Papa was too.

And mama, I never saw or knew she went to church. Ako? Wala, I only got to know God in school. It's the only place I learned how to pray.

"You got back to each other?" I plainly asked them while cutting the buttered asparagus into half.

Nginunguya ko na ang gulay habang sila ay nagkatinginan hindi alam ang isasagot sa tanong ko. Oh, crap! Naging apat kaming anak nilang dalawa habang inaakalang sila ay magpinsan, so anong ganap ngayon? Bakit sila ganiyan umasta parang bagong magkasintahan?

Both of them looked quite unsure if they'd admit it to me or not. They may still be thinking that I might be disgusted since they believed they were related.

Paano ko sasabihin sa kanilang dalawa na hindi sila magkadugo at nang hindi rin mabubunyag ang relasyon ko sa gobernador?

Ang hirap!

"Arsinoe, huwag mo nang kinukulit ang papa mo, kumain kana para makapag-ayos, and prepare dahil may klase ka pa ngayon." Saway sa akin.

"No, it's alright. I did sleep here last night, though in the guest room, and yeah, we're just... I couldn't explain since you're too young for this, but you could say just like that." Pag-aming sagot ni Papa sa tanong ko kanina at ngayon.

"¡Richard, no puedes simplemente decirle cosas as!" Si mama.

"I see." Natahimik silang pareho.

Tumaas ang kilay ni Mama bagamat kabado siya habang naghihintay sa aking reaksyon at sasabihin sinubukan niyang maging neutral ang ekspresyon.
