Para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig nang makita ko yung ngiti ni Gino. I'm sincerely glad he's happy. Putangina, ayan yung bagay na pinagdamot ko sa kanya. Isang bagay na kinuha ko sa kanya na sobrang pinagsisisihan ko.
All these years wala akong naging balita sa kanya. Kahit sila Gyu hindi rin nagsasabi kung may alam sa kanya. Ngayon lang. Ngayon na nga lang, kasama pa yung kumag na yun.

I planned to stay home all day. Just like all the other days I had. I always stay at home doing all the boring things a coward man like me should do. Nawalan ako nang gana umalis, gumala. Nawalan akong gana mabuhay sa labas ng condo na to.
Iniwan ko si Gino pero parang ako yung mas nagdusa. Araw araw sa loob ng apat na taon, pinagdudusahan ko yung ginawa ko. Gabi gabi hindi ako pinapatulog ng konsensya ko.
I don't regret pulling him out of the pit I am in after the accident. But I do regret hurting him. And I don't know how to face him. Hell, I don't even know if he will allow me to.
But after reading the chat, I forgot about being a caveman for a second and decided to go the exhibit that Gyu has sent me. I want to see Gino. I want to talk to him. No matter what it takes.
I shaved and put on a decent shirt after months of being a nomad. I parked outside the building of his gallery and waited inside the car. Para akong masusuka sa kaba. Lalo na nang makita kong palabas yung mga magulang nya.
I waited for people to disappear first before calling his secretary which Namjoon scored the number for me. Buti na lang madami syang kakilala. When i knew the event ended, that was the time I come out my car.
With deep, nervous breaths, I entered the building. There were only few frames hanging on the wall. I was stunned and amazed how perfect the portrait was drawn. An innocent boy with the cutest puppy.
As I was admiring the portraits, I heard a cough behind me. All the hair in my body reacted and stood up from my skin. Bago pa man ako lumingon alam ko nang si Gino yun.
I composed myself, mustering up my courage before turning. "Hi, Gino."
I saw the horror in his eyes the moment they met mine. I saw how his chest pumped up and breathed in heavily. It's like the world stopped for a moment. Just me, Gino, my guilt, and his anger.
I was about to say something when another voice surfaced.
"Dada.."
The little boy approached Gino rubbing his eyes, feeling sleepy. Gino hurriedly carried the boy and went out the room. Leaving me speechless and still regretful.
The boy called Gino, dada???

Wala akong naging kausap na matino. Sa lahat ng pinagtanungan ko, si Namjoon lang ata yung sumagot ng "try ko".
I pondered all day as I locked myself again in my condo. Iniisip ko kung babalik balikan ko ba sya sa office nya. But Gino being Gino that I knew, he will guess what my next move is.
Alam nyang gagawin ko yun at pagtataguan nya ako. Buong araw ako nag isip ng paraan kung paano hanggang sa sumagi sa isip ko si Jimin. Hindi kami close pero baka si Kuya Yoongi matulungan ako.

Kumapit ako sa "bahala na" ni Jimin. Ganon ata kapag desperado. Kahit hindi sigurado, susubukan mo. Pero ilang araw na. Wala pa rin balita. Gusto ko sana syang kulitin pero nakakahiya.

Anak ni Gino.
Parang may kung anong kumukurot sa puso ko. Naglakbay agad yung isip ko kung kanino nya anak yun. O kung may sarili na ba syang pamilya. O may nabuntis ba sya sa America.
After texting Jimin, I went to the mall to look for a brown teddy bear costume that I can wear to the party. Tangina kahit magmukhang tanga basta makalapit lang sa kanya.
Natagalan bago ako makahanap pero nakabili ako. Dumaan na rin ako sa toy store para bumili ng iba't ibang klase ng truck.
