Nagkulong lang ako sa kwarto paguwi ko. Malapit na ang graduation. May kumatok sa pinto ko.
"Who is that?" Tanong ko
"It's me Young Lady, Damian." Sagot ni Damian.
"Pasok." I simply answered. Dumungaw siya sa pinto ko and smiled. I smiled back.
"Young Lady your daddy is calling you." He informed.
"Okay." Lumabas siya.
What does he need this time! Nagbihis ako bago pumunta sa office niya, ayaw niya kasi na nakapambahay ako. Saw some of the maids and they vowed to me. Then finally I was in front of my dad's office.
Uncle Jeremy opened the door. Siya yung kanang kamay ni Dad.
"Damian told me that you want to see me." Sabi ko sakanya, I do not have the appetite for the old man in front of me. Well not really old, I just want to call him an old man.
"Sit down." May awtoridad na utos niya.
"What?" I asked pagkatapos umupo.
"You're going to Manila to study. Take whatever course you like." Sabi niya. Yun lang ba? Sure.
"No bodyguards, and i want a condo." I told him, nakikipagdeal ako sakanya, I want a normal life. Di nako natutuwa.
"I can not promise that because you will be staying at home in Manila while you are studying." Humilig siya sa swivel chair niya.
"But dad, I want to live normal. Just like before." Reklamo ko sakanya
"This is for your own safety, Young Lady, you know that's not possible diba?" he replied with a cold tone. Malamig sa sobrang lamig natakot ako. Pero hindi ako nagpatinag.
"My own safety?" I said, "Why am I your only child?" He was shocked at what I said.
"What do you mean by that young lady?" He asked, galit na siya.
"Alexander, whom I thought was Tito Ferdinand's son, he is my twin is he?" I said in a sarcastic tone.
"You do not understand." Sabi niya at umiiling.
"All this time you are fooling me. Us." I answered and started to cry.
"No, just listen to m--" I cut him off.
"Another lie dad?" I said after leaving, I hate him.
"Just for once will you listen to me." Sigaw niya na siyang nagpatigil sakin sa paglabas.
"Pano Dad? Kung lahat ng lumalabas sa bibig mo kasinungalingan?" Sagot ko at hinarap siya.
"I wish your mother didn't die. Hindi sana tayo nagaaway ng ganito." Pagkasabi niya non umalis nako.
So kasalanan pa ni Mommy na namatay siya. Tss.
After 3months I graduated highschool. We're on our way to Manila, Jayden and I were on our way to manila. Hindi na kami nagusap ulit ni Daddy kahit si Kiel.
"What are you looking at?" Tanong ko kay Jayden na nakatingin sakin sa rear view mirror.
"Nothing." Sagot niya at tumingin sa daan.
"Stop looking and keep driving." I said he laughed.
"You know what? You're cute." Tinignan ko ulit siya sa rear view.
"You know what? You're annoying." Sarkastiko kong sagot sakanya.
"I know." Ngiti niya.
Nabalutan nanaman kami ng katahimikan. Kaya nakatulog ako.
Nagising ako nang naramdaman kong tumigil ang sasakyan. Nasa drive thru kami.
"Hi." Ngiti ni Jayden habang tinitignan ako sa rear view mirror. Inirapan ko siya.
"Umorder nako. May rice meal at burger akong inorder may fries din para may pagpipilian ka." Ngisi niya
"Tss. Sana si Damian nalang andito." Bulong ko.
"Next time siya naman makakasama mo. Ilang buwan mo na rin kasi akong kasama." He smiled. Not his usual smile. Fake smile.
"Better be." Irap ko.
Hindi na siya nagsalita buong byahe. Nakuha namin ang orders at fries at burger lang sakanya. Kumakain siya habang nagdridrive. Hindi na siya tumingin ulit sa rear view mirror.
Nakatulog ulit ako. Nagising ako nasa daan parin kami pero mga 5pm na.
"Asan na tayo?" Tanong ko.
"2hrs. Away." Sagot niya nang hindi tumitingin sa rear view.
Tumango ako. Nakatingin lang ako sa daan. Siya rin tahimik lang. Nagpatugtog nalang siya.
Nagumpisa ang intro ng Crush by David Archuleta. Sinabayan pa niya.
"I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush
'Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know
Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?" Sinabayan niya yung kanta at tumigil din. Nagdridrive lang siya habang pinapakinggan yung kanta.
Natulog nalang ako ulit.
