Mila's POV
Nagising ako sa tunog ng cellphone ngunit agad rin naman itong nawala at ang kasunod nun ay ang mahigpit na yakap sa akin ni Terrence.
"The phone..." I mumbled.
"It's fine."
Mas hinigpitan niya ang yakap sa akin. Ilang segundo pa ay tumunog ito ulit. Ngayon ko lang napagtanto pero ringtone ko pala iyon.
"Where's my phone?"
Umalis ako sa yakap ni Terrence para mahanap ang cellphone ko sa side table ngunit bago ko pa nakuha iyon ay kinuha na niya iyon at tiningnan ang caller ID
"It's Felix." Sinagot niya ang tawag. "Someone better be dying." Sarkastiko niyang sabi.
Dahil tahimik naman rito ay maririnig ko parin ang sinasabi ni Felix.
"Yup. Your ex's child is dying."
Nanlaki ang mata ni Terrence at napaupo. "What?"
Umupo ako at kinuha ang cellphone kay Terrence. Nilagay ko ito sa tenga.
Si Terrence naman ay may pag-aalala na sa mukha.
"It's me." Sabi ko kay Felix.
"You told me to know what going on with Kimberly Dela Cruz, right? This is what's going on. Nagka- dengue ang anak niya kaylangan ng blood transfusion but I don't think she have that much money to pay for the bills."
"When did this start?" Ang ekspresyon ngayon ni Terrence ay di ko na mabasa ngunit alam kong di niya nagugustuhan ang nangyayari ngayon.
"2 weeks ago."
"Did she not ask for Terrence help? Or any other friends?"
"Baon na siya sa utang. Masakitin anak niya, laging labas-pasok sa hospital. And the things you want to find out is negative." Para akong nakahinga ng maluwag doon.
"Okay... Thank you, Felix." Sabay patay ko sa cellphone.
"You got her investigated?" Di makapaniwalang tanong ni Terrence.
"I wanna make sure that her son is not yours."
"Of course not. Nothing happened between us."
"But you two lived together."
"She respects me just how much I respect her." Bumuntong hininga si Terrence. "Nevermind that. I have to go. We will still have a photoshoot for the movie." Tumayo siya at dumiretso sa banyo pagkatapos kumuha ng towel sa closet.
He's upset. I could feel that. It's my fault anyway.
Di maalis sa utak ko ang ex niya dahil di lang niya iyon ex lang...
That's his first love, first girlfriend, first ex, they lived together for years and the way he described her to me it feels like he still haven't move on.
I should trust Terrence more.
Why it's hard for me to do that?
Tumayo ako at pumunta sa banyo.
"Ter?"
Narinig ko ang pagpatay ng shower. Nasa likod lang siya ng glass wall ngunit di ko makita ang katawan niya.
"I'm sorry about that. You seem to care for her. I can't get her out of my mind."
"You told me not to talk to her anymore and I did. I even forgot about her this past month."
"You're upset?" Tanong ko habang hinuhubad ang damit.
I can't let him slip away now. We don't have the time in the world. I feel like we're always chasing each other and even until now I still can't reach him. I barely holding him now. Someday he'll be busy again and won't have anytime with me.
