“I don't feel the same way, Sir.” Saad ko. “Should I call a grab?”
“Let's talk, Daph.”
“Hatinggabi na, lasing ka pa, and you want us to talk? Naglolokohan ba tayo?” Seryosong tanong ko sa kanya.
“Selene Daphne, please.” Huminga ako nang malalim at pumikit. “I just want you to be mine again, please.”
“Dominique, usap na lang tayo sa susunod. I think that this is not the right time for that. Your employees are here. You're drunk and all.”
“I miss you, Daphne. I miss you calling me by my second name.”
Kinuha ko ang cellphone ko at nag- dial ng number. Agad niya itong sinagot.
“Good evening— I guess good morning, Selene.”
“Sir Josiah, pwede niyo po bang masundo si—”
“No, don't sundo me, Kuya Josiah. I want to talk to Daphne.” Apollo said.
“Okay, I won't get him. Kausapin mo na, Selene, ilang taon din kayong hindi nagkausap. You know Apollo, if he wants something, he'll do everything for it.”
Bumuntong- hininga ako nang marinig ang pag- ring ng cellphone ko, ibinaba niya na ang tawag. Napamura ako sa isip ko. Bakit ba naman kasi sa lahat ng kumpanya na mapapasukan ko, doon pa— ay oo nga pala, may utang na loob pala ako kila Chef Theo. Pumikit ako nang mariin at nag- lakad na habang inaalalayan si Sir Apollo.
“This is my first time na malasing.”
“Hindi kaya,”
“Kilalang- kilala mo talaga ako 'no? Edi bakit hindi mo na ako kinausap? Edi bakit hindi na ako ngayon? Edi bakit wala na tayo?” Tanong niya sakin. Pumigil hininga ako upang hindi bumagsak ang mga luha ko.
Dahan- dahan ko siyang inalalayan na maupo sa couch ng apartment ko. Kumuha ako ng tubig at ipinainom iyon sa kanya.
“You're still living here. Sana I just went here instead of—”
“I have my reasons kung bakit hindi na kita kinausap, kung bakit hindi na tayo, kung bakit hindi na ikaw.” Sagot ko sa mga tanong niya kanina.
“Then tell me, Daph. I'll listen.”
“I know that you'll listen, I know that you'll help me but I want to go through things on my own now.”
“You don't want me anymore?”
My heart breaks into pieces. I know he'll ask me this once again. I know that we'll be in this phase but I didn't know that it will feel like this. Ibinaba ko ang tingin ko at pinagkiskis ko ang kuko ng mga daliri ko.
“I didn't say it—”
“Then I'll wait for you, Daphne.”
“Matulog ka na muna. Mag- usap na lang tayo bukas pag sober ka na.”
