After that night, I couldn't stop thinking of all the possibilities after our breakup. And exactly early in the morning, Trina and Star checked out and went home. I didn't get to say goodbye because I wasn't there. I was out early in the morning because Tita needed me with her. May mga errands kaming pinuntahan at may mga nakilalang clients and old friends of her.
"She's a grown woman. How lovely"puna ng kaibigan ni Tita na kasamahan niya rin noon sa France. Tipid lang akong ngumiti sa kanya.
Marami pa silang napag-usapan. Kahit ang mga happenings ngayon sa France ay hindi nakatakas sa kanila. I'm always updated because I am always communicating with my team.
"When do you plan to go back to France?"she asks.
Napaisip naman ako tuloy. Napalingon sa akin si Tita. Alam niyang hindi pa namin napag-usapan ang tungkol sa pagbabalik ko. I've been here for almost three months now and I couldn't bear to stay any longer.
Napasinghap si Tita.
"After my work is done here, I guess ma'am"tipid ko ulit siyang nginitian. Napatango naman ito at may kung ano pang binigay na reaksyon kay Tita.
Nagpasalamat naman ako nang hindi na siya muling nagtanong at agad ding tinapos ang usapan doon. Nagpaalam na rin kami dahil mukhang abala rin ang ginang.
I was a bit preoccupied the whole trip. Napansin siguro iyon ni Tita kaya bigla niya akong tinanong.
"Are you okay, dear? You seem so unwell"napakunot pa ang noo nito habang nililingon ako.
"I'm fine, Tita"I faked a smile. Napatango naman ito pero halata parin sa itsura niyang hindi siya kumbinsido sa naging sagot ko.
Kaya nang nakarating na kami ng bahay, hindi ako bumaba ng kotse. Nagtaka naman si Tita dahil nanatili ako sa loob. Yumuko siya para makita ako.
"Hindi ka ba bababa, hija?"
Napailing ako. She looks surprised.
"I think I need to go somewhere, Tita. I'm sorry, I couldn't be in the resort today"
Mabilis siyang umiling.
"No, no. It's okay. Take your time. Go wherever you want"apela niya at mabilis pang umatras at kumaway.
"Thank you, Tita. I'll explain everything once I'm done with it"untag ko kaya tipid lang siyang napangiti at napatango habang kumakaway. Sinarado niya ang pintuan ng kotse kaya binaba ko ang window.
"Take care, Venice. Call me if you need anything"napatango lang ako habang kumakaway na rin.
"Sure, Tita"I smiled before closing the window.
Napasinghap pa ako bago nilingon si Kuya.
"Kuya, follow this route please"untag ko habang binibigay ang phone ko.
"Yes po, Madam"aniya.
Nilingon kong muli so Tita. She stayed there hanggang sa tuluyang umandar kami at nakalabas mula sa gate ng mansion.
Malalim akong napabuntong-hinga. I really need to do this for my peace of mind. I am going to Chester's grandma. Not that I am suspect nor I don't trust Trina but to also visit her. Malaki rin ang naging papel niya sa relasyon namin noon ni Chester. She's been our guide throughout our relationship and I believe that because of her, what we have before was stronger.
Nakatulog ako buong byahe dahil sa kakaisip. Nagising lang nang biglang huminto si Kuya.
"Kuya? Are we already here?"kumunot ang noo ko. Napalingon ako sa labas ng bintana.
