Untied String (Completed)

Chapter 12

I sat down beside you. Hoping you to hold my hand and say you need me. But, you stood up and  say goodbye. -Ms.cari

"So, what now? Tell me the story? What happened last night?"

"You are paranoid, Glow. Nothing happened," I answered.

*Flashback

I woke up trying to find my son beside me. But, I was shocked that I didn't find him. And there, in front of me is my son and the man whom I gave my everything.

"What are you doing?" I asked pertaining to Mr. Lim.

"Uhm, staring?"

"And why is that? You're invading my privacy, Mr. Lim."

"Oh? And our son?"

"He is allowed to enter my room anytime he wants."

"Favoritism here," he commented. "Actually, he asked me to enter your room to see how beautiful you are when sleeping. And he is right. You're so perfect."

Damn this man! How could he tell such words thinking that we are with Sheen.

"Mom, let's go. Let's eat. I'm hungry."

And that's my cue to stand up from my bed. I did my morning rituals as fast I could, so I can prepare the breakfast.

"Hey! Bakit ka nagmamadali?" tanong ni Mr. Lim habang pinupuyod ko ang buhok ko.

"Kailangan ko nang pakainin si Sheen. Puwede bang bigyan mo muna siya ng tinapay, o kahit ano diyan sa ref."

May hypoglycemia si Sheen. Isang kondisyon kung saan kapag nalipasan siya ng gutom ay talagang nanghihina siya.

"Bakit?" tanong nito. "I mean, magluluto kana naman 'di ba? Baka mawalan siya ng gana mamaya?"

"No, he won't. Bawal kasi siyang malipasan ng gutom dahil talagang nanlalambot siya maghapon."

Hinanda ko na ang itlog na puwede kong lutuin at mga hotdogs na nasa refrigerator namin.

"Ako na diyan. Mas mabilis ako sa 'yo," sabi nito at inagaw sa akin ang hotdogs na hawak ko.

Balak ko pa sanang magreklamo dahil parang ang hambog niya noong sinabi niya na mas mabilis siya sa akin magluto. Pero hindi na ako umusap dahil totoo naman.
