ANNA
"Mom, this is Anna and this is Nathalie."
"Hello Anna, Joaquin is right, you are so beautiful. And Nathalie, you look like one little girl I know."
"Really? Who? Can I call you Grandma? Or Abuela or what?"
"You may call me Grandma. Hahahaha. Your Auntie Carla looks just like yoi."
Do they know? Bakit tong lalaking ito sabi niya hindi niya ako kilala pero bakit kung magsalit ang Mommy niya parang alam niya na apo niya si Nathalie? I looked at him and he looked bored. Jerk!
"Lolo, Lola this is Anna and Nathalie."
"Good evening po."
"Good evening Anna."
"Hello, I'm Nathalie. What will I call them Daddy?"
"I call them Lolo and Lola since they are my grandparents. That would make them your great grandparents too, so you may call them Lolo and Lola too."
Daddy? Tinawag niyang Daddy si Carlos sa harap ng pamilya niya? Etong batang ito mana sa tatay niya eh, ang tigas ng ulo.
"Hello? I'm Carla."
"Carla this is Anna and that girl hugging Mom is Nathalie."
"Hi Ate Anna. You are so beautiful. Hi Nathalie, oh em gee...you look just like me. Oh! Mom karuprupak isuna. I mean she looks just like me when I was her age. I'm sorry."
I looked at Carla and I could see that she looks an older version of Nathalie. She's tall, had long wavy hair, looks exactly like Nathalie and the female version of that jerk, beautiful indeed.
So, if they know or if they have an idea, why does this jerk continue to deny knowing me? Jerk talaga eh.
Nathalie seems so excited knowing na may kamag anak siya na iba. Teka bakit siya tuwang tuwa sa family ni Carlos? What does she know? Wala naman akong ikinukwento sa kanya about her biological dad. Alangan namang alam niya about him. Pero bakit .... aaahhh Anna masyado kang overthinking.
"Balae, nandito na kayo. Pasensiya na at may last minute panakong kinausap sa telepono."
"Don ...."
"Balae naman huwag niyo na akong tawaging Don. Balae nalang ang itawag niyo sa akin."
"Balae, pinaounta kami dito ni JC, ni Joaquin para pag usapan ang kasal nila ni Anna."
"Ah oo Balae....."
Damn this set ip. Damn this situation. Damn this man. Bakit ako pumapayag sa gusto nila?
"Mom?"
"Yes Nathalie?"
"Come, and talk to Grandma. She's nice Mom and do you see, she looks just like me too."
"Don't say that. They may not like you comparing yourself to them."
"They like it Mom. They are the ones tellin me Auntie Carla looks like me...or is it the other way around?"
What? Do they know? I should ask this jerk.
"Uhm, Carlos can I have a word with you"
"Sure! But it's Joaquin not Carlos."
"Whatever."
JOAQUIN
Problema na naman ng babaeng to?
"What's goin on?"
"Bakit?"
"Anong bakit? Bakit ganun ang reaksyon ng pamilya mo nun makita nila si Nathalie? Alam ba nila?"
"Ang alin?"
"Kung sino ang tatay ni Nathalie?"
"Sino ba?"
"Don't..... hindi mo alam?"
"Have no idea. Why don't you tell me sino ang ama niya?"
