ROSA ni: Ginalyn A.

Finale

NAPATAYO BIGLA SI ROSA, ng marinig ang busina at the same time ang kanyang dibdib dumadagungdong ito. Hindi niya alam kung bakit napahawak pa siya rito.

"Ano itong nararamdaman ko? Bakit ganito?" turan niya sa sarili.

Naglabasan na ang mga kasambahay.

"Attorney?" si Aling Sonia.

"Sonia, narito na sila."

Binuksan ni Attorney ang pinto sa tapat ni Bernadette."You are home."

Walang imik itong bumaba ng kotse lumabas na rin si Samuel.

"Magandang umaga po ma'am," wika ng mga kasambahay.

Walang tugon mula rito. Umikot ang mata ni Bernadette may hinahanap ito.

"She's not here, Bernadette," saad ni Attorney napuna kasi niya ito.

Nakatayo lang naman si Samuel, pag apak niya sa sementong sahig he felt something but he do not no what's this.

"Samuel, let go inside Sonia kayo na ang bahala sa bagahe nila."

"Oo, Attorney."

Papasok na sila sa loob ng bahay."Attorney, where 's that woman?"

"Maybe she's around here."

"This house never change huh!" Puna nito.

"What do you expect Bernadette, kung dito ka tumira maybe is nagbago ito right? Puwede rin hindi dahil ikaw walang hilig pagdating sa bahay," patama ni Attorney.

Hindi nakaimik si Bernadette but ther mind."Dammit!" lalong lalayo ang loob ng asawa sa kanya sa narinig nito.

"Nice house!" si Samuel.

"Yes, Samuel. If you can appreciate yes it is a nice house, lalo na pag may mga batang nagtatakbuhan you know what I mean."

"Yeah, Attorney."

"Maupo muna kayo, titignan ko kung ready na ang almusal let's eat before you rest."

"Attorney, I'm not hungry, do your job."

"Bernadette, is not yet time, be patience okay, darating din tayo riyan."

"Oh common Attorney, iyan lang naman ang pinunta namin dito my husband is a very busy person we need to go back to the US a soon as possible, kaya do not delaying to read that testament."

"Like what I said Bernadette, patience kung wala ka nito lahat ng bagay na gusto mo O nasa sa iyo is possible to be gone."

"Attorney, you are wrong because is mine is mine! No one can take away from me!" Paniniguradong tugon.

"Are you sure with that, Bernadette? Think about it maiwan ko muna kayo, Samuel."

Tumango si Samuel kay Attorney.

Nang wala ito."Bernadette, you are so harsh to him, can you saw it some respect he's like your father."

Naiinis si Samuel sa nakitang pag-uugali ng asawa no respect at all.

"He's not my father Attorney Dimasalang, knows my attitude!"

"Oh yeah, it is bad attitude you have."

"Samuel, why you talk to me like that, huh?!"

"Because, you do not know how to show some respect to the people, mostly a old man like Attorney, that attitude I hate it the most!" seryosong sabi ni Samuel.

Nanggigigil ng lihim si Bernadette, hindi na ito umimik pa baka tataas ang kanyang boses magkasagutan sila.

"Sonia, si Rosa, na saan?"
