Self-Destruct

"Savannah, dear are you okay?"

I pushed the carrots across my plate and nodded at my mother. Hindi ko alam kung paano niya napilit si Levi para samahan sila ni daddy for breakfast pero ayon na nga ang nangyari at nakita ko na lamang ang sarili na naka-upo kasama nila sa dining table at pinipilit na 'wag isuka ang lahat.

"Napagod lang po siguro 'yan, kahapon," sagot sa kaniya ni Levi. Napabuntong hininga na lamang ako.

Levi found me on Reed's bed that morning, passed out. At simula nang tinulungan niya akong maligo at magbihis, ay hindi ko pa siya nakaka-usap. I knew he wanted to talk to me and comfort me, pero gaya nga ng sinabi niya kay mommy, napagod ako ng sobra-sobra.

Pagod na ang isip ko kakahanap ng rason kung bakit panay na lamang ang pag-iwan na ginagawa ng malalapit na tao sa akin... Pagod ang mga mata ko kakaiyak... pagod na rin ang buo kong katawan sa ginagawa kong paghinga.

Kaya oo, mommy. Pagod na pagod na ako.

"You both left the party earlier? Is everything okay?"

Hindi ko nagawang tingnan sila ni daddy kaya tumango na lamang ako muli.

I was not okay. I was hurting. I was a wrecked. Wala akong ganang kumausap, kumain o gumawa ng kahit ano. Ang gusto ko lang ay bumalik sa kama ko o sa kama ni Reed at humiga lamang doon at hintayin na humupa iyong parang pagpupukpok sa dibdib ko. I just wanted to feel numb. Was it too much to ask?

"Oh, I almost forgot. Your brother wished you a happy birthday, yesterday."

Napatingin ako kay mommy pero dahil sumusubo siya ay hindi ko naabutan ang mga mata niya kaya naman si daddy lamang at nakatitigan ko.

"Po?"

"We asked your brother to come home and celebrate his birthday with us but he refused. Did you two talked?"

"Akala ko ba ayaw niyo? Pinaghiwalay niyo kaming dalawa, remember?" My voice sounded strain and hoarsely in my ears but I waved it off. Wala akong ibang narinig kung hindi 'yung paghuhurumentado ng puso ko.

"And we have the right to. But since your brother agreed to marry Monica once again, we don't mind if you two see or talk with each other again. Just as long as you'll not repeat your mistakes this time. We need her family for the expansion of our business in abroad, princess. So please, behave okay?"

Nabitawan ko ang mga kubyertos ko. Levi stayed motionless at my side.

"What are you saying?" I stuttered. Hinawakan ng pinsan ko ang kamay ko at ibinaba ito sa lamesa para hindi makita nila mommy na nagsisimula na itong manginig.

Reed will marry Monica?

Ayun ba ang rason niya kung bakit gusto niya ng divorce? Para wala siyang kahit ano mang maging sabit?
