LEBOO SHORT STORIES

Tiny Lil Secret

-Lea-

It has been what? five-- six years since I last saw him. I'm not in abroad if that's what you're thinking, I actually stayed but he left.

I don't want to recall the dilemma because up until now, I can't take away the anger I feel towards Bamboo.

I understand that he doesn't want me anymore. I accepted that fact, as if I had the choice. But, him leaving-- knowing that I am bearing his child? tanginang pag-iisip naman ang meron siya!

What I'm trying to say is, he should have had the balls na panagutan niya ako, papasok-pasok siya tapos ipuputok sa loob ko tapos kapag nag bunga, bye bye Lea agad? bwesit lang talaga.

Kasi akala ko noon, kapag nalaman niyang I am pregnant, there is a possibility, a chance na magkabalikan kami. I hoped. I expected that the baby will bring our relationship back.

And about my Angel, she didn't survive. I was so depressed when he left. I didn't know what to do. I didn't care about my self. All I was thinking was the pain that is slowly killing me. I was devastated.

It's not Bamboo's fault, It's mine. Sariling kapakanan ko lang ang inisip ko, I forget about my baby, I cared less about my Angel dahil natabunan ng sakit ang buong pagkatao ko.

At lahat ng yan ay pinagsisihan ko dahil nawala sakin ang natitirang meron ako, ang anak ko.

It took me years to recover. I had my personal psychiatrist to help me move on. And I did, and I heard that Bamboo's getting married, nakakarantado naman kasi eh, it's too unfair. Life is indeed fair for being unfair.

"Tin, what's my schedule for today?"

Tin looked at me and quickly checked her phone.

"You're vacant until twelve noon po, then by one pm, you'll have a meeting with The Voice Coaches"

I was caught by surprise. So, does that mean that Bamboo will be attending too? Malamang Lea. tss

"Okay Tin, thank you."

........

"Yes, five more minutes and I'm there Sharon, you gotta chill. Gosh! okay, bye. See you."

I ended the call. Bwesit talagang traffic, ako nalang daw ang hinihintay. shit na yan.

"Oh, here comes Ms. Lea"

I just smiled and approached the coaches at bumeso isa-isa. And yes, even kay Bamboo. Come on you guys, you have to be professional enough kahit labag sa loob mo kasi binabayaran ka para mag trabaho, hindi para mag inarte. So do your job well. Walang personalan.

"Sorry, I'm late."
Yan lang ang tanging nasabi ko dahil ramdam na ramdam ko ang titig ni Bamboo sakin. Gagong to, kung makatitig parang walang kasalanang ginawa, putulin ko kaya yang pagkalalaki mo? tingnan lang natin kung magkaroon kapa ng lahi. tss.

So the meeting started. I was trying to listen kaso itong si Sharon ang daming kwento. hayy nako po.

To make it clear, nakinig parin ako okay? Wala pang The Voice na magaganap ngayon, mag kakaroon lang daw ng mini concert for those Children who are ill and lahat naman kami pumayag. And after that, meeting adjourned.

"Sarah? kindly tell Sharon na mauuna na ako, malayo-layo pa uuwian ko, traffic pa naman."

"Okay coach. Ingat po kayo."

Then we hugged. I made my way out of the place and as expected, Bamboo followed me.

I stopped, "What on earth do you want?"
