"WHAT was that for Ate?" Deep inside, shocked. Why does she have to investigate Ogie? And worse, kasama pa yung ex.
"Nothing, it's a company matter. Hindi naman ito tungkol sa pagkamatay ni Martin. Don't worry." I exhaled deeply. Akala ko kung ano na.
But the gut feeling is still here na may tinatagong sikreto si Ate sa akin. Why would she rush to Baguio para umuwi? Shouldn't she stay in Manila for the burial of Kuya Martin? Pakitang respeto na rin diba? I mean, yes kaya na ng mga magulang niya but- everything's not on point.
Erasing my thoughts, I said. "Can I go to Manila?"
"To visit Martin?" I nodded. "Pwede. Be back before the anniversary ball." So, I have two days to be on Manila. Not bad. "Perfect timing din Regine, bukas kasi magsisimula yung vigil."
"Can I leave early in the morning tomorrow? Will you be okay here?" I asked. Kung hindi niya kayang mag-isa dito, then I'll just stay.
He patted my shoulder. "I'll be okay. Besides, dalawang araw ka lang naman dun. And you should go pamper yourself for the favor you made me sa pamamalakad sa hotel." Then she smiled. Weird. Parang ang saya niya pa na aalis ako.
I erased my doubts for the second time. "Sige Ate, thank you." I hugged her.
I rushed to my room. Ayoko ng bumalik sa hotel, nakakastress tignan. Baka mautusan pa ako nila dun. Instead, I stayed in my room and lay down my bed. Nasa kalagitnaan na ako ng paglalaro ng 2048 when I remember Ogie. Should I call him? Or nevermind?
My oxytocin hormone was dominant, so I called him and cancelled the game. I hope he's not busy. I dialled his number. Name niya nga pala dito 'Herminio Jose". I love his name, ewan ko ba hahaha.
"Good morning." His voice was coarse. Kakagising lang ata. Nag-iinit ako, shucks! Charot!
"Good morning Ogieee!" I cheerfully said.
"Gising na gising ka na ah. Good mood ka na love?" Ow.
"Much better than yesterday. I'm going to Manila kasi tomorrow."
"To visit him?"
"Yeah. I'll be there for two days."
"Ang tagal naman. I'll miss you." Sadness covers his voice. Then I came up with a great idea.
"You can go with me!"
"I can but I won't. I won't take advantage at lalo nang I won't meddle. Vigil ang pupuntahan mo, it's a personal matter. Besides, I haven't made any deals nor partnerships with him." Hays, oo nga no. This guy is a pro, sobrang pro. Langya.
We stayed quiet for a while. Ewan ko kung bakit. "Gala tayo." I said, breaking the ice.
"To where? Pwede naman dito."
"Really? Hindi ka busy? I don't have anything to do since Ate is here already. Mabobore lang ako kapag nagkulong lang ako dito sa bahay." I stretched my arm to get my stress free ball at pinisil-pisil ito. And I just remembered, Martin gave this to me right after we graduated.
"Ako rin naman. Tinapos ko na ang dapat tapusin kahapon. And it's Sunday, love." Hala. Oo nga no? Haven't kept track with the days.
"O sige ha, ikaw nagsabi niyan." I chuckled. "I'm going there!" Tumayo naman ako ng higaan at nagbihis. I turned the loudspeaker on.
