Past Will Always Be Present

Envelopes

It's been 2 days na di ko pinapansin masyado si Ethan, he sleeps in the other room or Cecee's room.Cecee is really doing fine now. The night before pinaalam sakin ni Ethan to bring Cecee in his company P.S company niya di yung akin. I only nooded on him and get Cecee ready for te next day

It's 8 in the morning di ko manlang nakita anak ko, umalis na sila.I just text him and checked Cecee. I was in the garden and one of our maids called me

"Maam,may binilin po si Sir Ethan. May envelop daw po sa lamesa"

"Sige salamat"

I went on the dining but I did not see any envelope so I decided to check the kitchen table and luckily I saw two envelops. I sat on the chair and planning to open it it but before that Patrick was still in the house so he sits in front of me, so I closed the envelope not knowing what's inside

"Si Cecee pala?" He ask while sipping his coffee

"Kasama si Ethan, ang aga ngang umalis eh."

"Char! Bonding? oh? Ano yan?" He was pointing the envelop

"Di ko alam" I opened it and saw my passport in the first envelope and Cecee's new passport in the other envelop. There were papers, and tickets already

"Tickets" I said in a crack voice,I was shock of course

"Ha? bigay ni Ethan? Eh diba nga ayaw niya pumunta ka sa Pilipinas?"

"di ko alam, baka naawa siya"

"Alam mo girl, tingin ko takot siyang magkita kayo ni RJ"

I decided to have a general cleaning kasi wala dito si Cecee para maka concentrate ako sa paglilinis, lahat ng parte ng bahay lininis namin, I was waiting for Cecee and Ethan kasi magdidinner na sana ako, di ko kinaya gutom ko kaya I eat first.

After my dinner, I heard a sound of a car and Im sure that was Ethan already, I approach them in the main door, sadly Cecee was carried by her yaya she was asleep she directly went upstairs, Ethan closed the door, held my waist and kiss my cheeks. After a few minutes we let go

"Did you eat somewhere else, babe?" We were heading through our room upstairs

"Yes babe, sorry ngayon lang naka uwi, nag dinner ka na?"

"Yes"

we went inside my room, he change his clothes and lay in the bed I was sitting and looking at him

"Sayo galing yung tickets?" I silently ask, he stared at me

"Gusto mo yun diba? pero Maine tatlong araw lang tayo dun, please." He pleaded, gusto ko sana mga isang buwan man lang for a vacation narin

"Okay" I answered confidently, at alam kong hindi yun mangyayari

"Babe,mahal mo ako?" He ask seriously, my ask widened it was the first time asking me this straight out of topic

I raised my brows and smiled " bat mo naman natanong yan?"  I laugh at it

"Just answer it"

"Oo naman, mahal kita" He then sat up and hug me. It was a tight hug and I don't know what he was feeling right now

"sigurado ka bang nakabura na si Richard?" Yes, he knows but not everything. I guess.

Im really confused right now kahit ano nalang pumapasok sa isip niya

"Ethan, ano ba yang mga tanong mo?"

"Maine, maliit lang ang mundong ito malaki ang posibilidad na magkita kayo,ulit" he was fucking serious

"at kung magkita kami, wala namang masama dun"

"just promise me, nothing will change Maine" He was near in crying, I can feel his sincerity

"Ethan"

"promise me"

"I cant"

I look down, and in a pop of ballon he was gone inside the room . He stood up and leave my room. i just rested myself in my bed for the past hours but I need someone to talk to

      
        Sending message to Patrick ...

I texted Patrick, a side from Ethan si Patrick lang din ang masasabihan ko. It took 8 minutes after his last massage. Somebody turn on the lights and close the door I directly sat up and saw my ugly Patrick, we both face each other at ayun sinampal ako.

"Aray!" I exclaimed

"Bobo mo din kasi" He blurted

"Hinahayaan mong si Ethan kumocontrol sa pamilya na toh!" He added

"Wag mo na yan Patrick, alam mo bang ang rami niyang mga tanong. kung mahal ko ba siya? kung mapapangako ko ba to, at ewan" I said with dramatic actions

Patrick then start throwing the pillows all over the room, alam kong inis na siya at sanay na ako sakanya. He was shouting and laughing so am I

"Alam mo girl isa lang naman maisasagot ko diyan, takot siyang magkita kayo ulit ni RJ"

"Patrick, alam niya na tapos na kung magkikita kami, eh. magkikita kami wala namang magbabago"

"unless kung magkakilala sila" He said, we both went to silence. He has a point pero ang imposible naman . 1 minute after

"Hindi, imposible" I shook my head, he hold my hands and and spoke

"Maine, walang nakakaalam sa nakaraan ni Ethan."

It was past 12 already, Ayun tulog si Patrick sa kwarto ko. I want to check Cecee before sleeping kaya when I open my door I saw Ethan went out from Cecee's room, he always check her. I did not want Ethan to see me He entered the vacant room and when he close the door I completely went out and went to Cecee

I saw Cecee with her eyes wide open " Cecee? Your awake pa?" I sit and hold her leg,she was still laying

"Dada thought I was asleep already, but Mami I can't sleep" she rub her eyes

"Uhm, what did Ethan,ah. I mean Dada was doing here?"

"Theleng me thories Mami"

"Celestine, it's telling and stories"

"Mami, Im sleepy na" She grab her blanket and close her eyes
