**Prie's POV**
"are you helping me this morning?" tanong ko kay Gello, mag kausap kami sa phone ngayon
"Sorry hindi ako makakabalik not until after lunch, I have to wait for the workers para dun sa ipapalagay mong lamp sa kwarto ni DIno." sagot niya sakin.
"It's okay." sagot ko,
"Baby, I would love to...but,"
"hey! Gello, nothing to worry." sagot ko.
"Are you sure? You want to wait for me para mag box ng mga gamit?" he asked again.
"I'm okay love..." I told him, "but, I have to go now para masimulan ko nang i-pack yung mga gamit." sagot ko.
"Okay, bye, I love you." sagot niya, I bid my good bye and end th call.
nag eempake na kami ng gamit ngayon para makalipat kami ng maaga. yung mga hindi namin masyadong ginagamit, ililipat na namin. I'm working on Dino's room ngayon, mas maraming gamit kasing hindi ginagamit yung bata.
it was late in the afternoon ng narealise kong malapit nang lumabas si Dino sa school,
"Sera," I said as she answered my call.
"Yes?" tanong niya,
"may ginagawa kaba?" tanong ko.
"wala naman, I'm on the mall right now looking for new clothes for you, hahaha." sagot niya sakin, teasing me na dapat mag shoping din daw ako.
"yhe, I'll shop next time." sagot ko, "but I have favor right now." sagot ko.
"yes? what it is?" tnaong niya.
"can you pick up Dino this afternoon? sunduin ko nalang mamayang gabi sainyo, I'm just stuck packing up things sa pag lipat namin and baka mag hintay yung bata sa labas ng school."
"Okay, ako nang bahala saknya, baka ihatid narin lang namin ni Mark sainyo mamayang gabi, pupunta ako sa office niya." sagot niya sakin.
"okay, that sounds good. Thank you tlga Sera." I said.
"Okay, I have to go, babayaran ko pa itong damit na binili ko eh." sagot niya sakin and I bid my good bye.
I'm packing up Dino's old toys ng nahalungkat ko ang mga gmit nila Ria-nie at Izzy.
I didn't packed up Izzy's things, it was Sera na siyang nag tago ng mga gamit ni Izzy. So, I was curious with it.
Same things were there, her usual clothes, her pictures, and other things, mostly nasa folder yung mga pictures niya.
She really looks like Gello's father when she was a child. I smiled looking at her pictures but at the same time I felt the pain she felt noong itinakwil siya ng pamilya ni Gello, nung ni-judge ko siya bilang kabit ng asawa ko...at kung paano nag flo-float ng buong buhay niya...
and all she wanted for me ay alagaan ang anak niya, and I failed...
I put her things back to the box when I came up to a familiar folder...
it's annulment papers for my marriage with Gello...
napakunot ang noo ko, bakit ito nakay Izzy?
I was reluctant to open it...ayaw ko nang balikan kung ano pa man sakit na idinulot ko sa sarili ko noon, and I don't Gello to see this. Oo, he knew about this, pero ayaw ko nang makita niya pa.
but, out of nowhere, binuksan ko ito.
I was shocked what I saw on the paper...
My husband's sign...
hindi ko napansing tumutulo na pala ang mga luha ko...
Why is Izzy hiding this from me?? at bakit nasaknya to?
I look around me and saw the kid's birthcertificate din...why did she have all this papers na matagal ko nang hindi inilalabas para sa asawa ko?
Is she the one who gave this papers to Gello? siya ba ang nag pakita nito skanya??
I just cried there holding on the annulment papers na may pirma naming dalawa ng asawa ko...
kailan niya pa ba ito pinirmahan? kailan ko pa ba ipinag lalaban ang hindi naman pala sakin???
I heard my phone rang, pero hindi ko iyon sinagot...
I don't want to talk to anyone right now...
I lost a daughter...
I lost a friend...
I lost her daughter...
and I don't know na matagal na palang wala sakin ang kasal na kala ko magiging pang habang buhay...
is this my fault?? karma ko ba ito dahil pinagawa ko ang mga papeles na ito??
