Neighbor's Love

Gilu's Problem

Gilu's POV

Bukas na yung monthsary nila Monique unnie..

Naglalakad lang ako sa village.. Napadaan ako sa lumang playground..

Natawa ako bigla..

"What's funny?"

"Ay palaka ka!" Sabi ko at napahawak sa dibdib ko..

Lumapit siya sa kin at pinisil ang pisngi ko..

"Ang cute mo talaga.." Sabi niya..

"Tss, bakit ka ba nandito?" Tanong ko..

"I followed you.. Hapon na oh? Tapos nandito ka pa?"

"Nagtext kasi sa kin si Daddy kagabi.." Sabi ko sa kanya..

Hinila niya ko dun sa swing na may kalawang pero yung pinaka-upuan, may pintura pa..

"Spill.. I'll listen, it seems like it's a problem.."

Yumuko ako..

"May sasabihin daw kasi siya sa kin, importants daw, I know that it's about our business.." Sabi ko..

"Then? What's the problem with that?" He asked...

"It's about our business hon, I think he has someone again para i-date ako.. One of his business partner's son.. Nakakasawa.." Sabi ko..

"You don't tell him about us, do you?" Tanong niya..

Umiling ako..

"Sa ating anim na couple, sila Reyna, Jimin, Isabel unnie at Jin pa lang ang legal.."

"Why didn't you tell to your dad that you have a boyfriend?"

"He won't listen to me.. Puro siya business..." Mahinang sabi ko..

"Just try it.. Malay mo naman this time pakinggan ka niya diba?"

Tumingin ako sa kanya..

"Ayoko ng umasa na papakinggan niya ko hon.." Sabi ko at ngumiti ng malungkot sa kanya..

"Don't say that.. Wag kang magtatanim ng galit sa daddy mo, still, he's your father.."

"Yeah, he's my father but it seems he's not.."

"Come here.." Lumapit ako sa kanya..

Tumayo siya tapos niyakap ako..

"Don't be angry to your dad okay? Tell him about us, then whatever his desicion is, I will respect that.."

Humiwalay ako..

"I'm so lucky to have you.. You're not like the other guys na ipu-push pa yung girlfriends nila to get mad at their parents.."

"It's because I know you'll be happy if he'll listen to you.. You need your father amd you love him even you're mad at him.."

Niyakap ko siya..

"Thanks hon.." We stayed in that position for a while..

*It's been a long day, without you my friend, and I tell you all about it when I see you again*

I get my phone from my pocket..

Daddy calling...

I press the answer button tapos ni-loudspeak ko na din..

"Hello dad.."

"Sweetheart, I have something to tell you.."

"What is it now? I know it's still about business?"
