Thirty-Six
Helen
Binato ni Gabbie ang bote ng gatas na katatapos lang niyang ubusin.
Kinuha ko yun, absentmindedly, habang nakikinig sa usapan ni Gab at ng tao sa likod ng pinot. That person is looking for me yet there’s this feeling that neither Gab nor I wanted me to face that person.
“Dito ka. Anong kailangan mo sakaniya?” Gab’s face hardened. Curiousity swept over me.
“Gab?” hawak ang bote ng gatas ni Gabbie na ilalagay ko dapat sa kusina, tumayo ako para Makita ang taong naghahanap sakin. Not expecting to see…
“Gab, sino—“ him.
Nabingi ako sa mahinang tunog ng pagkakabagsak ng bote ng gatas ng anak ko sa lapag.
Wala akong marinig. Wala kong Makita. Wala akong ibang maisip kundi siya at ang katotohanang nakatayo siya sa harap ko nang mga sandaling ito.
“Niobe!” and every memory, every feeling came back to me as he spoke my name.
Nakangiti siyang lumapit sakin kahit na nakaharang si Gab sa dadaanan niya.
‘‘Niobe. You don’t know how much I missed you, babe.” Still shocked, hindi ako nakagalaw sa kinatatayuan ko even if he was hugging me already.
“C-Cian.”
“Thank God I found you. I’ve been looking for you for weeks now. Muntikan na nga akong sumuko. But God is good and He lead me to you.” He kept on talking but none of it went into my mind. All I could do was to look at him.
“Mom..ma. Pop—pa.’’ Nakabalik lang ata ako sa totoong mundo nang makita kong gumagapang sa lapag yung anak ko.
‘‘Gabbie, NO. Kalilinis mo lang, marumi jan.’’ without even looking at him, nilapitan ko si Gabbie.
“Siya na ba?” Nakakatawa. Cian was asking me about Gabbie, the reason why I lost him.
“Siya na ba’ng anak natin?” muntik na ata akong mabilaukan sa sinabi ni Cian. Matapos niya akong iwan sa ere may lakas ng loob pa siyang sabihing ‘anak natin’ ? Kelan pa siya naging ama ng anak ko ?
Nagulat ako sa mga kamay na humawak sa balikat but I felt assured at the same time.
“Sige na, Niobe. Ako na’ng bahala kay Gabbie. Ako na’ang bahala sa anak natin.’’ Then i felt tension. Tension, which arose in the fact that Cian, Gab, Gabbie and I are in the same room.
Kinarga ni Gab ang tuwang-tuwang si Gabbie at nakipaglaro sa anak ko while I face this man whom I loved but broke my heart.
