Remembering Mr. Perfect

Twenty Nine

Pinaglalaruan ko sa kamay ko yung calling card ni mama. Nagiisip ng paraan para tawagan iyon. I first thought of calling Doc Kim para magtanong kung may roaming number ba siya sa Philippines, but I have slim chances of doing that kasi wala nga akong sariling cellphone.

I haven't told anyone except Doc Kim that I have retrieved some of my lost memories. Halos naaalala ko na lahat ng nangyari sa anim na taon na iyon. Yung anim na taon na itinago ni Ivan sa akin. Pero hindi niya alam na sa tuwing inilalayo niya ako sa mga bagay na pwedeng maglapit sa akin at sa totoong pamilya ko, may mga alaala akong bumabalik. I just didn't knew it then not I until I got a great medical attention.

Hindi ko din magawang hindi isipin kung kamusta na sila Heath at ang baby girl naming. Though I am still not that sure kung anak nga namin si Lorraine. I know Heath, he tends to break down kapag wala ako. I wonder how's he has been coping up, isang buwan mahigit na rin akong nawawala. Has he been looking for me? Or has he stopped searching?

I knew pretty well that Ivan blocked all access regarding my information. Kaya niya rin pinalitan ang pangalan ko para hindi ako agad matunton ni Heath. I also learned that the guy he was talking to was his uncle who happened to be working at DFA and his wife in NBI.

Wait until I materialize a plan to escape here and I will one by one get back on you all. I thought as I keep myself calm. Nagbukas ang pinto kaya napabulsa ako ulit nung calling card.

Sumilip muna si Sandra bago tuluyang pumasok, "Hija, I was wondering if you want to get out and get some sun into your skin. It has been three days and you haven't set foot outside your room." She is trying so hard to sound comforting and nice, but I can still hear the icey tone on her voice.

"We can get some pampering done when we go out. You know a haircut maybe, facial, mani-pedi. Just name it. Or you rather have a house service? We can do that to." He mouth curved in a silly, awkward smile as she waits for my answer.
