As the water freely flows out of the faucet, same thing happens to Rey. Kahit anong pigil niya, tuloy tuloy pa rin ang tulo ng luha. Alone in the garden, she let herself wallow in self pity and pain. From her position, she can see Liam and Jessica clearly in the kitchen through the living room window. Liam was preparing the fruits for the juicer while Jessica was leaning against the countertop. Both of them looked happy...together. She was caught looking at them by Liam when he looked at the garden. She waved her hand to pretend that she's okay.
Ten minutes and Liam was in front of her.
Nakakunot ang noo nito while he's watching her face. " Umiiyak ka ba? Something's wrong with your Mom?"
" Oh...this?" Sabay turo sa namumula nyang mga mata and ilong. "Nasabugan lang ako ng sabon sa mukha. Medyo napalakas yung paglalagay ko ng detergent." She was smiling all the time which made her believable.
" Oh, tara na. Breakfast na tayo."
" Not today Liam. I have to finish this laundry para makauwi na ako. Night shift ako ngayon sa clinical ko."
Parang nagtataka ang mga mata ni Liam. Umupo ito sa harapan niya." AM shift mo, remember? And that's for tomorrow!" Natatawang sabi nito sabay hawak sa balikat niya.
Buti na lang mabilis siyang nakabawi. " I have switched with a classmate. Family duties naman kaya pumayag na ako."
" Liam, I'm starving! Let's eat!" Boses niJessica galing sa kitchen.
" Are you sure Rey?"
" Go ahead Liam. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."
He hesitated for a while in leaving her but went ahead.
"I'll be fine."Tumulo na naman ang luha ni Rey.
She's crying, he said to himself when he caught her wiping her tears as he glanced through the window. He felt a little pain when he realized that she's hurting. But why wouldn't she tell me this time?
Rey is talking to herself, too.
Tama na Rey. Two weeks ka ng ganito. Ito yung okay na kung sukuan mo. You're hurting yourself way too much. Get out while you can.
She didn't say goodbye to anyone when she left that day...with a firm decision never to set foot again in that house. The house where she felt love for the second time.
Who sings " I left my heart in San Francisco"?
I did... in that house in Quezon City.
English Translation
As the water freely flows out of the faucet, same thing happens to Rey. No matter how much she tried to stop crying, she just can't. Alone in the garden, she let herself wallow in self pity and pain. From her position, she can see Liam and Jessica clearly in the kitchen through the living room window. Liam was preparing the fruits for the juicer while Jessica was leaning against the countertop. Both of them looked happy...together. She was caught looking at them by Liam when he looked at the garden. She waved her hand to pretend that she's okay.
Ten minutes and Liam was in front of her.
He gave her a puzzled look while watching her face. " Are you crying? Something's wrong with your Mom?"
" Oh...this?" She pointed her flushed face." I accidentally splashed my face with the laundry detergent."She continued smiling as she said this which made her believable.
" Okay. Let's go inside and have some breakfast."
" Not today Liam. I have to finish this laundry so I can go home early. I am on nightshift today for my clinical."
Liam gave her an inquisitive look while smiling. He sat in front of her." You're in morning shift, remember? And that's for tomorrow!" He smiled at what he thought was her forgetfulness and held her shoulders to remind her.
Lucky for her that she immediately thought of something to support her alibi. " I have switched with a classmate. She has some family duties to attend to so I gave way."
" Liam, I'm starving! Let's eat!" Jessica's voice sounded impatient.
" Are you sure Rey?"
" Go ahead Liam. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."
He hesitated for a while in leaving her but went ahead.
"I'll be fine."Her tears started flowing again as soon as Liam left her alone.
She's crying, he said to himself when he caught her wiping her tears as he glanced through the window. He felt a little pain when he realized that she's hurting. But why wouldn't she tell me this time?
Rey is talking to herself, too.
Enough Rey. It's okay to give up this time. Hurting everyday that you see them together for the last month is enough. You're hurting yourself way, way too much. Get out while you can.
She didn't say goodbye to anyone when she left that day...with a firm decision never to set foot again in that house. The house where she felt love for the second time.
