They’re my parents Miggy… They’re my parents Miggy… They’re my parents Miggy…

Cut it out already, so much for replays. It’s already been a week since it happened. Still this wound has gotten deeper and deeper. Each it’s a agony remembering her beautiful face, radiant smiles and bubbly persona. Shit! Supposedly, I should hate her but every time I try, I end up disappointing myself.

***

“Teka Gelo baby? Asan an yun? Pati yung cart.”

Hanapin mo mabuti lagot ka sa parents mo pag nawala si Gelo. Ayun! “Hey! You what do you think you’re doing? Get your hands of him.”

“Ay hey you, kagulat naman ‘to” As if I don’t know you have an ulterior motive to kidnap my brother. “Ikaw, oo ikaw anong ginagawa mo diyan sa bata?”

“W.wala pa naman, este wala naman akong ginagawang masama ah at sino ka para sigaw-sigawan ako?” I was right, nauutal siya kasi guilty siya. “Ako lang naman ang guardian ng baby na yan, bakit may angal?” Lulusot ka pa ha. “Anak mo?” Say what? Ganun na ba ako katanda? Loko ‘to ah, ang gwapo at bata ko pa kaya. “Pakialam mo?’

“Kung anak mo nga ‘to napakapabaya mo namang tatay, tingnan mo o nilagay mo lang sa cart. Ano akala mo dyan canned goods? Pano kung mahulog ‘to at maaksidente? Ang cute cute mo pa naman diba baby? Kuchi..kuchi ko…” Why does she keep on imposing my fatherhood to Gelo. “Di mo ba nakita na namimili ako? Or you’re just to lame to notice?”

“Hoy wag kang gagawa ng himala kung di mo kayang panindigan. Sabagay kaya ka siguro iniwan ng nanay ng anak mo kasi wala kang kwenta.” Not again!

“Excuse po ma’am, sir… If you don’t mind kindly tone down your voices, nakaka-istorbo po kasi sa ibang shoppers.” Yun na! She really caught everybody’s attention-KSP masyado. Now what?

“Who are you? You have no right to tell me what to do!” Yes I yelled at him. I really hate it when somebody reprimands me, I get pissed easily. “Uhm sir, pasensiya na po kayo LQ lang po kasi kami ng honey ko eh, diba honey?” Naki-ride on na lang ako. Sobrang nahihiya na ako e. Di lang pala siya kidnapper story maker din.

“Thank you for your cooperation.” She ruined my day, better get this over and done with. "Hey you! we're not done yet." Aba't linayasan ako.

That was the first time I saw her, I was intrigued. I wasn't able to sleep that night. Malay ko ba na magkikita pa kami ulit at ang kasumpa-sumpang araw ay nangyari nung mag-apply siyang babysitter ni Gelo.

Dati yun, nung 'di ko pa siya nakikilala-nagplano nga akong gantihan siya. Kaso supalpal e, masyado siyang charming. Though she told me that she just took the job para maging substitute ni Noei-ang dapat na maging babysitter ng kapatid ko. Sadly it was not the only truth, I needed to know. Kung kailan naman na mahal ko na siya.

All the truth she told me seemed like mere lies now. I know ang arte ko na masyado, pero kahit gaano kaliit,kahit 'white lie' yun it doesn't matter. It boils down to ome thing - she lied and it sucks.

Ba't honey saan naman galing yun?

Anong sumipa? gusto mo ikaw sipain ko?

Anak ng tokwa naka-isa ka dun ah.

Next time you do it, I'll kiss you torridly for an hour.

Ano ba? GET OFF ME...Ho. MIGGY! (Yung free hug moment ko dahil sa horror movie marathon)

Ummm...hon..Miggy ano kasi...I..I LOVE YOU, there I said it.

What was I thinking? I need to forget everything about her, though it may sound- IMPOSSIBLE.
