Kabanata 56
MALAYO-LAYO din ang biyahe patungo sa kanilang pupuntahan. Inantok si Zero kaya agad siyang nakatulog, nagising na lamang siya nang gisingin siya ng ama.
Pakurap-kurap pa siya hanggang sa tuluyang mabawi ang kaniyang wisyo.
"Let's go, son. We're here."
Lumabas ng kotse si Zero. Wala siyang gamit na bitbit dahil hindi siya hinayaan ng kaniyang ama na mag bitbit ng gamit. Ito lahat ang nagbitbit.
"Fully booked na ang double bed na kuwarto. Kaya isang bed na lang na booked ko. Don't worry, son." kapag kuwan ay sabi ng daddy.
It means magiging magkasiping sila ng ama for almost 3 nights. Is that fine? Is that really fine?
Mukhang may isang tao na naman na mapupuyat ng tatlong gabi. May isang tao na naman ang hindi makakatulog ng ayos.
"It's okay, dad."
They reached the room they were staying in after the staff gave them the key and guided them to the room.
They went to a resort. It also had a sea like the resort Tyson had taken him to before. The only difference was, Tyson's resort was nicer than this one. The people there were also limited. Only workers and just the two of them. While here. It was nice and tidy, there was also a sea and a swimming pool. The only difference was. There were a lot of people here.
"Do you want to sleep yet? It seems like I disturbed your sleep earlier. You can sleep."
Zero immediately shook his head. His sleepiness was gone too. "I'm okay dad. My sleepiness is gone."
"Then, let's go downstairs? Let's eat first."
Zero just nodded in response.
Before they went downstairs. His father changed his clothes first. He took off his bottom and top clothes as well as his shoes and socks.
If only Zero could be invincible so he could watch his father get dressed better, without noticing him, he would do it. But no. He averted his gaze until his father finished getting dressed.
"You, son? Aren't you going to change?"
"I'm good, dad. I'm fine with what I'm wearing. I'll change later."
Since the room Zero and his dad were staying in was on the third floor, they had to take the elevator. The "restaurant" or dining area of that hotel was downstairs.
Kung tutuusin puwede naman silang magpa deliver ng pagkain sa inuupahang silid. Mas gusto lamang ng daddy niya kumain dito.
Humanap na si Zero ng bakanteng ma-u-upuan habang ang kaniyang ama naman ay umo-order na ng pagkain.
Sa dulo na lang ang bakante at nag-iisa na 'yon. Good thing, siya ang na una.
Nilabas muna ni Zero ang cellphone habang hinihintay ang ama. Nag tsek lamang siya ng mga message sa online chat kung meron man.
Agad niyang in-open ang message ng pinsan nang kaniyang makita.
From: Eithan
To: Zero
"When will you come back here? Lola missed you so much. Missed kona rin 'yung bonding natin, magkasama. Baka masanay ka sa pagkain diyan ha? 'Tas pag balik mo dito ayaw mona ulit ng gulay? Hahahaha."
Napangiti si Zero sa naging mensahe nito. Binasa pa niya ang ilan.
From: Eithan
To: Zero
"Tuloy pa ba ang pagbalik mo dito? Ilang linggo na lang magpapasukan na. Baka mahuli ka."
