Chapter 29

"Finally! My Avi Gail in the flesh. I can't believe that I can now touch you, feel you. God! Ang ganda mo Gail." Gail.

For years I've been waiting this to happen. I've been dying to meet him. But now, I don't know.

"What are you doing here Troy?" I faced him. He looked offended when I asked him that question.

"I-I mean. I am surprised. " I look him intently, it felt- normal. Parang hindi ito 'yong first time na magkita kami. Siguro gawa na rin ng araw-araw na pagkausap sa loob ng ilang taon.

"I'm so sorry for not connecting with you for months. It's just that, I finished my module for the whole year. I just really can't can't wait for my summer. " He held my hand. He's really happy to see me. I am too-but not when William saw us.

"Magdrive ka na, puntahan natin si Dad." Iniwas ko ang tingin ko't hinintay na paandarin niya yung sasakyan ngunit di siya gumalaw.

"May problema ba Gail?"! Pinilit kong ngumiti at umiling.

To William:
Pwede ba tayong mag-usap?

Kainis! Bakit ba ako naguiguilty? Ilang minuto ako naghintay ngunit wala talagang reply. Bahala siya!

Dumating kami sa hospital at sinalubong kami nila Mommy at Daddy na nakangiti.

"Okay na si Daddy mo 'nak, balik na lang kami bukas para sa mga resita."

"Sa bahay po kayo matutulog?"

"Sa hotel na 'nak. Walang aircon sa kabilang kwarto di ba? Gusto ko kasi maging komportable si Daddy mo. " I smiled and nod to agree with mom.

"Tita I'll drive you to the nearest hotel po."

"Nako, salamat Troy."

"Doon ka rin sa hotel nila Dad matutulog? I can just hail a cab from there. "

"What? I'll drive you home." I sighed in resignation.  Ayoko nang makipag-away. Alam ko naman kasing mapilit siya.

Sa hotel na rin kami kumain ng dinner. Kung siguro dati 'to nangyari sobrang saya ko.

"Maybe next month Tito my parents are coming.  They're in Cambodia right now. "

"Oh great. Sakto that's our 25th anniversary. Iimbintahan ko sila. Para na rin mapag-usapan ang mga susunod na partnership namin. It's been months since our last meeting."

Yung taong gusto mo, gusto rin ng pamilya mo. Tapos tanggap ka rin ng pamilya niya. Ang saya diba?-sana.

Inihatid ko si Dad sa room nila and I'm glad he looks better now.

"Avi, I think NYU is great." I mentally sighed. "Naisip ko lang na total eh, nandoon na sila Troy, di ka na mahihirapan kapag doon ka. Just remember to at least get the High Honor or Highest if possible. No pressure anak."

What the heck? Gusto kong tanungin si Dad kung nagbibiro ba siya. Kasi ramdam na ramdam ko na yung 'No Pressure' niya. Ghad!

Tumango na lang ako kay Dad at agad na pinuntahan si Mommy sa balcony.

"Ma."

"Yes nak? Troy's finally here aren't you happy? " I hugged her. Tama siya I should be happy. "I'm sorry if your Dad puts too much pressure on you. Gusto niya lang maging maganda ang future mo." Alam ko naman yun.

Nakakainis talaga kapag parents mo achiever. Dapat sundin mo rin sila.

"But Ma, what if I wanted to stay?" Tiningnan niya ako na parang binabasa niya ako.
