Nang minsang mapadaan ako sa office ng mga executives at napanganga talaga ako sa nasksihan. It was lunch break that time and interns were expected to be downstairs inside the cafeteria of the pub house. The door was wide open and I clearly saw how Sophia comfortably sat her small ass on Forsythe's lap. Take note, that's just the third day of our internship and by the looks of it her friends supports her all throughout the way. Mukhang planadong-planado dahil wala ng katao-tao roon sa taas except us.

Isa pang nakakapagtaka ay kung bakit naroon pa ang babaeng iyon sa opisina ni Forsythe. Masyado naman ata siyang nasobrahan sa pagiging malandi. Supposedly, kasama niya dapat ang mga printing staffs at nasa first floor iyon.

Kaya naman ay hanggang ngayon ay naiinis pa rin ako sa kay Forsythe. Ni hindi man lang niya ako sinubukang kontakin at dalawang araw rin siyang nawala. My brother Caleb took over his part for two days. Another thing that I hate about him is when he did not even inform me about him being not around. That left me feeling annoyed and worried at the same time.

"You should stop bringing presents when you come here, hijo. You're spoiling her too much." Pababa pa lang ako ng hagdan iyon na agad ang narinig ko.

It's Saturday and what's new about me being a home girl? I stop halfway of going downstairs and stare down to them. Forsythe is holding three paper bags from different famous brands. Does he think that he can lure me with those? Well, guess what? Of course I will be.

"Hayaan mo na Uncle. Minsan lang naman." My father scoffs and shakes his head.

"I don't see it that way. Is she demanding you to bring those?" Nangunot ang noo ko sa narinig. Iyon ba ang tingin sa akin ni Daddy? Napahawak naman ako sa dibdib ko ng maramdaman ang kirot doon. Nakatingin pa rin ako mula rito sa hagdan nang mapaangat ang ulo ni Forsythe sa gawi ko.

As if on cue, I stand up straight and continue walking.

"Hindi Uncle. Lahat ng bigay ko sakaniya ay kusa kong binibigay." My heart somehow feels warm upon hearing him defending him.

"Good. Pero sabihin mo sa akin kapag sumusobra na siya, Forsythe."

"Dad." Tawag ko pa sakaniya. It's like my other way of telling that he doesn't need to say that because I know my limitations. Damn, he really underestimates me. Hindi lang siya kung hindi lahat sila.

Nilingon niya ako at hindi ko man lang nakita ang paumanhin sa mga mata niya.

"Ninong," bati ko pa at mabilis na tiningnan siya.

Ngayon ko lang napansin na wala pala rito si Mommy. Siguro nasa kitchen siya dahil amoy na amoy hanggang dito ang sinangag na niluluto niya.

"Excuse me." Tiningnan ko ang papalayong likod ni Daddy. I feel sorry for myself for not having all the love in the world.

Tumikhim naman si Forythe kaya bumalik ang atensyon ko sakaniya. "Pasensya ka na kung narinig mo iyon." Napadaing ako sa sarili at inikutan lang siya ng mata.

"This is for you, my Kitten." He hands me the paper bag which I accept while not looking straight into his eyes.

There is no need for him to say sorry. In fact, it should be me who must say sorry because he saw Dad that way.

"Thank you." Hindi ko siya nginitian o tiningnan man lang mga mata. Tinalukaran ko na lang siya at muling tinahak ang daan paakyat. Nakasunod lang naman siya sa likod ko at wala akong reklamo roon. Kanina ko pa siya gustong sunggaban ng mahigpit na yakap pero pinipigilan ako ng isipin kong pilit na pinapaalala ang nakita ko noong nakaraang Miyerkules.

There's a slightly loud thud sound when Forythe slumps his body on my single couch.

"Here we go again." He hints as I see him rest his arms on the both sides.
