Heartless Husband

Catch up

Patuloy paring bumabagabag sa isip ko ang tanong ni Keisxia nung nakaraan. I don't know how to answer her question, eventhough i know the answer. Natatakot lang ako sa maging posibilidad na maging reaksyon niya.

Kaya mas pinili ko nalang itong ilihis. She'll understand it eventually.

"Can i play with tita Precious babies too?"

"Ofcourse, you can. We need to hurry, so we'll get there on time." Saad ko habang tinatali ang mahaba niyang buhok.

Precious invited us lunch to their place. Catch up daw dahil halos tatlong taon kaming walang communication sa isa't-isa.

She's with us on airport yet she said, it wasn't enough yet because i've gone for almost three years. Sinabi pa nga niya sa akin na gusto niyang magtampo dahil wala man lang akong sinabi. I don't even bid her goodbye.

She's have a lot of chances to find another bestfriend yet she still chose not to and wait for me instead. She still chose to understand me than to get mad.

If ever i were on her shoes, i'll choose to understand too. Because everything happens for a reason, ika nga. Kasi why do we need to get mad if we can understand? Why do we need to cover up our ears when we can hear them out?

Well.. that's how life goes on.

"You seem so excited, sweetheart."

"Yes yes! I'll be having a.. new playmates!" Napangiti ako sa usapan ng mag-ama. Ganiyan sila kalapit sa isa't-isa. I'm so proud having these two. Kahit marinig ko lang ang usapan nila ay buo na kaagad ang araw ko.

Lumapit muna ako kay manang at nagpaalam bago nagtungo sa dalawa. We need to go, dahil atat na atat na si Keisxia.

As we get in the car, Keisxia is being talkative which is unusual. Namana niya sa ama niya ang pagiging tahimik. But look at her now, habang tumatagal mas lalo niyang nakukuha ang pag-uugali ng tito daddy niya. Wala namang problema doon. May parte sa aking sumasang-ayon pero may parte ring hindi.

Sighed.

We're on our way to Ignacio compound. Medyo nahihiya ako sa kanilang dalawa dahil hindi manlang ako nakadalo sa kasal nila. Ni hindi ko alam kung kailan sila ikinasal, sa kadahilanang, umalis ako ng pilipinas.

As the car enter the compound, Keisxia become more excited. Her eyes were sparkling of too much happiness!

Hindi ko alam kung ikakatuwa ko ba iyon o ikalulungkot.

Kung hindi lang sana nawala ang mga kakambal niya, siguro mas masaya akong pagmasdan silang naglalaro.

But i think, ito yung purpose sa amin ni Lord. To find a better one, the one who will truly love and accept us. Hindi yung kailangan pa naming ipilit ang sarili namin, yung hindi kami ipagtatabuyan.

Like what he did to us.

I shook my head. There's no reason to think about that again, lalo pa't may sari-sarili na kaming buhay. It will just remain on the past.

"Tuloy kayo, hija. Nariyan sila sa sala naghihintay."

Napangiti ako, they've must been excited too. Habang naglalakad papasok ay todo libot ang dalawang mata ko, namangha sa kabuuan.

Hindi ko na kailangan pang isipin kong kaninong ideya ito. Precious and I's taste are one. This is one of our dreamhouse.

She finally have hers, while me is still under on my dreams.

Binagalan ko ang lakad ng matanaw ko silang dalawa ni Inton sa sofa, nakaharap sa TV.

I give Eko and Keisxia's signal not to make noise. We're facing their backs, ni hindi naramdaman ang presensiya namin.
