7 - The Stars loves to flirt
No one's POV
"Seriously, all she does is flirt, get into my nerves, and kill me deep inside. It's always like that everyday!!" Kasabay ng pag-taas ni Cepheus ng boses ang pag-taas din ng kanyang kamay. She waved it all around as she spoke.
Complaining about how she hates her wife and breaking the eardrums of her loving father who's smiling while he listens to his daughter. Ikinagagalak niyang marinig muli ang boses ng dalaga matapos ang isang araw na walang tapos na trabaho.
Kahit na reklamo lang naman ang pinunta nito sa kanya ay natutuwa pa rin siya. Iyon kasi ang pinaka mahabang pag-uusap nila sa buong buhay niya.
"Dad? Are you listening? Why are you smiling? Seryoso ako, she's flirting with me and it's getting a little uncomfortable. Like ganap na ganap talag siya sa role namin." Cephues pouted as she looked at her father.
Humagikhik lamang ang kanyang ama na nakaupo sa single couch.
"Bakit kasi hindi mo nalang talaga asawahin? You two have been married for almost 3 years now. It'll be better if you two folks actually fall in love." Kibit-balikat na sambit ng Dad ni Cepheus, hindi makapaniwala ang dalaga sa kanyang naririnig kaya't bagsak-balikat niyang tinitigan ang kanyang ama.
"What?" Inosenteng tanong ni Apollo.
"I will never fall in love with a woman like her." May pang-didiri sa tono ng kanyang boses. Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ni Apollo at hinawakan niya ang kanyang hininga ng ilang segundo.
"What did you say?" Tanong niya.
"I said 'I will never fall in love with a woman like her' never and ever. Period!" Pag-uulit ni Cepheus ng kanyang sinabi.
Something reverberated within Apollo, causing his pupils to dilate as he looked tenderly at his daughter.
The sense of familiarity stirred his heart, bringing forth the most radiant smile he had ever shown.
"Huwag kang magsalita ng tapos anak. Baka mamaya niyan ay lunukin mo lahat ng sinabi mo." With a laugh, he spoke to his child, who was now just staring at the ceiling of their house.
"No, I will never swallow that one." For a particular reason, he felt a sense of hope. An indescribable smile now adorned Apollo's face, and it seemed as if he had been revived.
He simply listened to his child's constant complaints. Instead of getting annoyed, he found himself even more amused.

As I drove, I couldn't believe that Dad would prefer me to fall for that woman. I will never fall in love with someone like her.
