"Tj, may gustong kumausap sa iyo." Lapit ni Jun kay Tj na nakatayo lang ulit sa labas ng pintuan ng kwarto ng ama niya.

"Sino?" Sagot ni Tj sa paos na boses.

Nag aalinlangang sumagot si Jun habang sinulyapan ako na nakaalalay kay teta amilia na biglang nanghihina pagkatapos umiyak kanina.
"Si teta Rose, ang mommy mo."

Ang mommy ni Tj?
Ang kapatid ng mommy ni Jun?

"Here." Sabay abot ni Jun sa phone kay Tj.

Pinakatitigan muna ni Tj ang phone at saka ito sinagot sabay lakad papalayo sa amin.

I felt Juns tap on my shoulder.

"Alam kong masyadong mahirap at magulo ang sitwasyon ngayon ngunit kailangan na ring kausapin ni Tj ang mama niya."

"Anong ibig mong sabihin?"

"She always stands outside tita Rose house looking at her mother from the distance not knowing how to start telling her mother how shed been or what shed been feeling." Jun taps my shoulder again. "Shes not telling because she dont know how to start. Kevin, the game is on. Kay gino parin ako kakampi para sa pinsan ko, pero kung ikaw ang pipiliin niya ay wala akong magagawa kayat habang nasa iyo pa ang pagkakataon make it worth." Sabay tapik ni Jun ulit sa balikat ko.

"Anong ibig mong sabihin?" Tanging papalayong likuran lang ni Jun ang naging sagot sa tanong ko.
Lokong Jun to, kung kelan naisipang magsalita ng mahaba haba ay saka naman parang pabula paano ko maiintindihan ang mga sinasabi niya?

Gino POV

"Tj!" Tawag ko sa kanya pagkalabas niya ng hospital, mag isa lang siyang naglalakad palabas.

Nilingon niya ako.
I see an eyes full of sadness and loneliness.

She didnt move and just stares at me.

Nilapitan ko siya at niyakap, she slowly hugs me back later on shes shaking with sobs.

I rub her back gently.

************

Kanina pa siya tulog sa tabi ko sa loob ng kotse ko.

Maliwanag na ang sikat ng araw.

Gumalaw siya at mahinang hingos ang kumawala sa kanya.

I gently touch her cheeks and strokes her hair.

Ten years before......

I meet Tjs dad outside the hospital.
My psych tells me to overcome my fear and started facing it kaya ako napadpad sa labas ng hospital hoping to get inside the building without trembling.

I found out the state of his health, he made me promise not to tell Tj the truth and make me swore not to remember the day weve meet.

I did.
I did not tell Tj or anyone about it even my brother that i financed teto Ricardos hospital fees, medicines and check ups through my own charity unlisted by the Brays assets.

I back up a charity since i was six, my mom showed me how by selling my unused toys or thing on a shop and drop the whole money i get, in the charity box of the charity i choose.

When i was fourteen i finally introduced myself when they tried to track me long before they stumbled my families name.

Thats when i decided to used the charity to look out like its unknown whod help out teto Ricardo.
