"What are you doing? "
Abala kasi siya sa pagpasok ng mga designer clothes and bags niya sa isang malaking maleta.
She's also getting her designer shoes and all those jewelries that I know mas mahal pa sa buhay ko.
" Just don't fuckin' asked and would you please help me nalang? "
Huh?
Napakurap ako.
Is she that desperate to get those things back? Dahil ni minsan hindi ko nagawang bilhan siya ni isa sa mga yun?
Hindi ko alam kung ano ang mararamdaman. Part of me is offended and the other part is hopeless. For I know.. there wouldn't be a time I could give that to her. Especially now in my current situation.
Parang mas lalong luminaw lang sa'kin ang katotohanan sa'ming dalawa.
Ngayon ko lang naramdaman na sobrang layo talaga ng agwat namin sa buhay. Tama si Bridgette..I need to clarify to her our situation now.
That we are poor. That the life she had before will never come back when she would decide to be with me.
Pero sa nakikita ko sa kanya ngayon.. mukhang alam ko na ang magiging kahihinatnan nito kung ipaglalaban pa'rin namin 'to.
She would always crave this kind of life. These luxuries..this comfort and richness.
And being with me would just make her more frustrated.
Natigilan siya at nagtatakang napatingin sa'kin.
" What? Aren't you gonna help me now?"
She's almost whispering. Maybe careful not to let the people outside hear us especially her father.
Napakurap ako at natahimik habang sinimulan na siyang tulungan.
My mood went down. Parang naging matamlay ako bigla. Hindi matanggap yung realidad naming dalawa ngayon.
Hindi enough yung isang maleta para sa kanyang mga gamit. Kaya naman nadagdagan pa ito ng dalawa. Parang nanakawan tuloy ang kanyang walk in closet dahil sa ginawa namin.
If her father will find out about this, I'm sure aakalain nitong may nakapasok na magnanakaw sa kwarto ni Harriet.
Now that we're finished, I don't know how we would be able to bring these all out.
" Now here's the plan Sevi..."
Napatingin siya sa bintana kung saan ako dumaan kanina.
Imposeble akong napatingin sa kanya na tila alam na kung ano ang balak niyang mangyari.
Umiling ako.
" No.."
" Yes.."
Napaawang ang labi ko.
" We will used some blankets to let these all out. Mauuna ka lang bumaba tapos isusunod ko itong mga maleta. Then I would run fast outside this room."
Ha? T-teka.
She would run outside this room? Habang ako maglalambitin sa pagbaba mula sa bintana niya?
Parang may mali yata.
" Harriet..bakit hindi nalang tayo sabay lumabas ng kwarto mo tapos ihuhulog nalang natin ang mga maleta diyan sa bintana? "
Ang unfair naman kung ako lang yung magpapakahirap sa pagbaba.
" Yeah..kung pwede lang sana. Pero sa tingin mo kapag nakita ka ng mga gurad namin dito hindi ka nila babarilin? You're ban here."
What?
