I Found You But We Can't Be '' (Self Published)

Simula

"Where is your mom?" A baritone voice echoed on my ears.

He was behind my back and waiting to answer his questions from me but before i answered i'll sipped my tea first.

"In your study room, Dad." sa kalmado kong boses. Nilapag kuna ang tasa sa marmol na pabilog na mesa.

Huli kong dinig ay ang tunog ng kanyang sapatos sa marmol na sahig, ang tunog na kung saan ginagalang ng lahat yun ay ang akin ama, tuluyan na nga siyang umalis sa likod  ko ng wala man lang sinasabi na kahit ano.

I stared the view from the balcony in our living house. tanaw ko ang mapayapang lupain namin hanggan saan aabot ng aking paningin.

"Matelda pakidala ng mga paso sa hardin" isang malakas na boses.

rinig kong utos ng mayor duma namin sa isa pang kasambahay.

"Arturo asaan na ang mga lupa at pataba na iniutos ko sayo? naidala mo ba?"

hapung-hapong nagpapaypay ang isang binata gamit ang kanyang buring sombrero. Nakasuot ito ng puting kamesita at kayumangging pantalon at naka tsinelas lang.

"Opo. Tapos kona pong gawin" nagpunas ito sa kanyang noo bagay na nagsasabi na nagawa niya na nga ang kanyang trabaho.

"Dapat matapos agad ito natin bago dumating si Señor Lucio."

huli kong narinig  mula sa kanila.
Bagay na aking ipinagtaka, ngunit bakit kailangan ayusin at baguhin ang postura ng mansion bago dumating ang Kapatid ng aking ama galing sa Europa at mga kaanak nito.

I wanted to ask mommy why they're busy this pass few days and Dad too. Hindi ko makausap ng masinsinan, masyadong professional at strict sa akin.

Minsan na akong nakipagtalo kay dad but i end up my mouth shut. Siguro natural na sa kanya ang pagiging strikto sa akin dapat lahat ng gusto nya palaging nasusunod.

"Dad i wanted to take Medicine abroad—" hindi kona na tapos pa ang aking sasabihin dahil tumigil na siya sa pagbabasa at umangat ang kanyang tingin.

He stared at me with his questioning look and he put the pen down beside the paper he was reading about his business association with—

His table is on a chaos settled like laptop, tablet, books, folder, pen, ashtray, and a nude statue of a man with colored black while in a vertical position.

"Why you asking me like this?" he put his arm on the table then it settled.

"Because it just the only course I'm into with, dad. I hope you understand my decision" I downed my head.

What ever it takes risk at least at time you want ray.

"Are you not considering your knowledge with the field that will challenge you?" nagulat akong napaangat sa kanya. Dahil may punto pero hindi ko parin gusto ang kahit na ano maliban sa medisina.

"Are you saying to me that the field you want to take will benefit for us? I'm a business man, hijo. Probably I need a lawyer in this case, you only know that you're the only child i have, you're the only heir of this family." inayos niya ang kanyang salamin sa mata.

"But dad you already have one lawyer —" dumapo ang matalim niyang mata sa akin. Yumuko ako muli.

"I don't believe in you, hijo. Go leave from my office"

"Pero dad hear me out—"

"Why you making this so hard?"

"Honey stop it" mommy interrupted us.
