The Fake Lover [HIATUS]

Chapter 28: Mission Accomplished

"Dad?"

 

"DAD?" sabay naming inulit ang sinabi niya.

 

Ano daw? Dad? Ibig sabihin tatay ito ni...

 

"Aaron" sabi ni manong french fries este ni Mr. Henie Villamor.

 

"Tatay mo siya?" tanong ni Dahlia kahit obvious naman ang sagot.

 

Tumingin lang si Mac kay Dahlia pero hindi ito sumagot.

 

"Umalis na kayo" sabi ni Mac habang nakatingin sa baba

 

Ang harsh ha. Baka nakalimutan niya kung anong ginawa niya sa akin. Hahawakan na sana niya ang braso ko pero pinigilan siya ni Manong. 

 

"Aaron stop" mahinahong sinabi nito.

 

"Dad, they were just about to leave" 

 

Tumingin muna si Manong sa akin at tsaka kina Dahlia at Kyle. Bigla siyang ngumiti.

 

"It seems like you're the one making them leave even if they don't want to"

 

Binitawan ni Mac ang braso ko. Pero mukhang na a-annoyed siya.

 

"What's up with you?" tanong niya 

 

"What do you mean?" sagot ni manong.

 

"Why are you acting so goody goody around them? You're acting nice even though you're not"

 

"Mac.."

 

"Look, If you just trying to keep your image then I guess I can understand what you're doing"

 

Bakit ang sama ni Mac sa tatay niya? Mabait naman si Manong ah. Hindi ko siya ma gets. Nagtanong pa nga siya kung anong dapat gawin sa sitwasyon niya. Pero bakit parang na m-misunderstood niya si manong?

 

 "Mac, listen"

 

"Dad, I'm tired. May flight pa ako bukas"

 

He's about to leave when suddenly.

 

"Mac, I'm sorry" 

 

Napahinto siya. Hindi niya inexpect  yun. Pero bakit naman nag s-sorry si Manong? Anong kasalanan niya? Nakatalikod parin si Mac habang nagsasalita si Manong.

 

"Mac, you never told me you have friends. You were always obssesed with your hobby. I thought you'd think that photography is your life; that it's your happiness. I was becoming worried"

 

Umikot si Mac para makita si manong.

 

"What?"
