" Dalawa bahay niyo?" tanong ko. Oh dam'it ! What a stupid question ! Of course marami silang bahay dahil mayaman sila. They're rich. Nilingon niya ako pero agad din bumaling ang tingin sa kalsada.
"Yup , My parents separated when i was high school " wika niya. His face was blank as paper when he said it. Hindi ko inasahan ang sagot niya but the two house explain it alone.
"Im sorry " i apologized. Hindi ko naman kasi alam.
"No it's okay. Im over it hindi rin naman sila nagkakasundo so it's a good choice to separate. " muli niyang sagot. Is that the reason why he suddenly change his mood when i mention his fathers name? Marami pa akong gustong itanong tungkol sa mommy at daddy niya but i guess it's the right time maybe someday i'll ask him. Sa tingin ko kasi ay may galit siya sa daddy niya though he's not saying it directly but i can feel it. Muli kaming binalot ng katahimikan.
" So yun pala si Breanna " i don't know if it is a question or a statement but i guess it's the latter. Medyo malayo pa ang village namin kaya i'll use the opportunity to ask him. Muli niya akong nilingon at ngumisi.
"Yeah , you're jealous ? " tanong niya. His bitting his lips trying to conceal his smirk. Kumunot ang noo ko at mabilis na umiling.
"Of course not ! Im just curious ! " i said defensively. He chuckled. I sighed. " She's pretty , her beauty is very classic. Ilang taon nga ulit kayo ? if you don't mind me asking this , i just want to know. " muli kong pagsalita. Nagulat ako ng bigla niyang tinigil ang sasakyan. My god ! It's 11 pm already paano kung may mga ligaw na hayop dito sa daan? Tiningnan niya akong mabuti hanggang sa umangat ang gilid ng labi niya.
"You're jealous " he stated. Nanlaki ang mata ko.
"No ! You jerk ! ang feeling mo ! Im not jealous okay? Im just curious " i said. Humalakhak siya sabay taas ng kilay.
"Really huh?" nakangisi niyang tanong. I rolled my eyes dahilan para mas lalo siyang tumawa.
"Okay , okay don't get mad baby okay? We lasted 5 years " he said it normaly. Natigilan ako. 5 years, alright. They only lasted for 5 years. I suddenly feel jealous. They lasted 5 years and the two of us is just starting are relationship. We're just 7 months ! napaangat ako ng tingin ng muli siyang nagsalita. " but it's not a serious one. I just have to stick with her dahil iyon ang gusto ni mommy and breanna , she's sick. She's been traumatized by her real parents. She's been abused so i have no choice but be with her" muli akong natigilan. She's been traumatized? she's been abused?
" What did they do to her ? " i asked. Hindi ko maiwasang maawa. Being abused by your parents is so heart breaking already.
" She's been abused , been abused always until high school. Lagi siyang may pasa and she's very thin. Lifeless. Mabuti na lang ay kinupkop siya ng bestfriend ni mommy ng mamatay sa car crash ang tunay niyang magulang and we've been close since then. " tumango ako. I understand. That explains their closeness. He's been forced by his mother to be with her right? siguro ay close talaga ang mommy ni Theo kay Breanna pero pwede naman siyang tumanggi. Knowing Theo he can't easily be tamed.
" D-did you love her? Care for her?" mahinahon kong tanong. Im not mad. I just want to know their story.
" It's my choice to be with her though my mom originaly forced me to. " he said. Natigilan ako. Okay agatha. You ask for it so deal with it. " She's a very lovely girl. Mabait , maalaga , smart but her trauma is getting worst back then. It ruinned her life. She's not eating , she always angry , she failed her subjects , she tried to kill herself " nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa narinig. Those angelic face tried to end her own life? nagpatuloy ako sa pakikinig sa kanya. " Noong una ay hindi namin alam. I know she's too clingy to me but i only see her as my sister. She declared her love for me but i rejected her and she start being violent her action worsen. She's always mad when she see me with another girl. I know i've been a badass but i just want her to shoo away. I don't wan't her get hurt because i can't give her the love she wants me to give. She want me all for herself. Hanggang sa nagtangka ulit siyang magpakamatay. Her Aunt is getting worried pati na din si mommy and even me. Tita Cecil wants her to attend her session with the psychiatrist but she refused. Ayaw niyang magpaggamot and every day she's getting worst. She always hurting herself kasama na doon kapag naalala niya ang mga pang-aabuso sa kanya ng magulang niya. Until i decided to come with her sa states para magpaggamot doon siya pumayag"
" Is she okay now? " muli kong tanong. Now i understand her reaction a while ago. She's afraid that i'll take theo away from her. Tumingin ako kay Theo. He nodded.
"She's alreay okay when i left her in the states. She already accepted it. Sa states pa lang ay ipinaintindi ko na sa kanya and she's cool with it. " he said . He's looking at me. Pumungay ang mga mata niya then he cupped my face. "Don't worry okay? I'll make sure she'll never bother you " mahinahon niyang wika at hinalikan ako sa noo.
