Obispo Residence
Benji and Sunshine has been trying to convince Tatay Teddy that the hug he saw between them has no malice. It was a friendly gesture that most of the people in their generation are doing.
“Ano bang walang malisya yang sinasabi nyo? Yung anak ng kapitbahay natin, nakita kong magkaholding hands noon, ayun ikakasal na sa Linggo kasi buntis. Yung pinsan mo Benji na si Imelda, hindi ba’t buntis din nung iniwan nung nobyo nyang bakasyunista na taga Maynila. Hindi nyo alam kung saan kayo pwedeng dalhin nyang walang malisya nyong sinasabi” Tatay Teddy rants
“Tay yung mga binanggit mong kapitbahay natin, puro menor de edad kaya kailangang pag-ingatan ng mga magulang nila. Pero ako Tay, mahigit bente anyos na po ako, alam ko na po ang makakabuti sa akin. Mas malala pa nga yung mga tao sa Paris kesa sa nakita nyo sa amin ni Benjie pero wala namang nabubuntis kasi hindi naman binibigyan ng malisya” Sunshine continue explaining
“Wala ka sa Paris Sinagtala, nandito ka sa Candelaria at alam mong hindi magandang tingnan sa mga tao dito ang nakita ko sa inyo ni Benji” Tatay Teddy insisted. “At saka paano ka nakakasigurong wala malisya yung pag-yayakapan nyo nitong si Benjamin eh may gusto ang lalaking yan sa iyo. Matagal nang nagpaalam yan na manliligaw sa iyo” Tatay Teddy added
“Tay, tama na po, nakakahiya na po kay Benji” Sunshine said
“Ano bang nakakahiya? Ikaw pa talaga ang nahiya Sinagtala, alalahanin mo ikaw ang agrabyado dito?” Tatay Teddy fiercely said
“Tay baka po isipin ni Benji, pinipikot natin sya” Sunshine uttered
“Bat ko naman iisipin yun?” Benji quickly replied and Sunshine widens her eyes signaling Benji to shut up
“Tawagan mo si Gabriel, gusto ko syang makausap bukas na bukas din Benjamin” Tatay Teddy commanded
“Tay, wag na po tayong umabot sa ganyan please. Napaka-busy po ng Daddy ni Benji para istorbohin natin sa simpleng hindi natin pagkakaintindihan” Sunshine said
“Kinabukasan mo at ng anak nya ang pinag-uusapan natin dito, uunahin pa nyang yung pagiging abala nya?” Tatay Teddy exclaimed
“Sige po Tito Teddy, tatawagan ko po agad si Daddy at sasabihin kong gusto nyo po syang makausap” Benji said
“Mabuti kung ganun” Tatay Teddy said “Puring …. Puring … Ano ba naman ang matandang iyon at napakabagal kumilos gamot lamang ang kukunin eh napakatagal pa” he irritably called
“Wag na po kayong mag-alala Tito Teddy, bukas na bukas din po makakausap nyo si Daddy, pangako po yan” Benji said
Sunshine could not do anything anymore but to throw herself on the couch and wishes that a lighthing from nowhere would just strike her hard.
She knows her father, everytime he calls her in her real name she knows that she is in big trouble. And she is aware that getting him upset will not be very good for his health. She choose to just wait for this night to be over and that tomorrow her father would realized that he is just overreacting to what he saw.
Aling Puring immediate came with a glass of water and Tatay Teddy’s medicine.
“Bakit ba kasi galit na galit ka kuya, eh nasa edad naman na ang mga batang yan at alam naman natin na nagmamahalan sila talaga” Aling Puring commented
Sunshine was so shocked hearing such statement from someone she treated as her second mother. “Tyang anong pinagsasasabi mo? Tahimik na lang pwede at hindi naman nakakatulong ang opinion nyo” Sunshine commented
