Lust Words: I Love You

41.Meet the Family

Sarah POV

bahagyang kumulo ang sikmura ko Kaya Naman nag decide na Kong kumuha ng pagkain. ilang program na Rin ang natapos pero Hindi parin bumabalik si Drake. asan ba yun? luminga linga ako pero Hindi ko matanaw ang mokong. tumayo ako at naisipang pumunta pansamantala sa garden. napaka ganda Naman dito at napaka sarap sa pakiramdam ng hangin.

isang iyak ang umagaw ng atensyon ko. mukhang. nanggagaling sa gilid ng falls ang iyak Kaya Naman agad na pumunta ako doon. there I saw a girl. nakatungo at humihikbi.

"hi"

inangat nya ang ulo nya and gosh. napaka ganda nya, tingin ko nasa around 5 to 6 years old palang sya pero, mukha syang manika. aww. Sana mag ka baby din ako ng kasing ganda nya.

mukhang natakot sya Kaya bahagya syang lumayo.

"don't be scared. I won't hurt you."

I smiled at her at mukhang Napa amo ko Naman sya.

"why are you crying?"
"I'm, I'm scared of the blood"

at muli syang umiyak. nilapitan ko sya. may konting gasgas pala sya sa tuhod na mukhang sanhi ng pagkakadapa.

"shh. don't cry. shh. that's okay. look, I can do magic. you want some magic?"

bahagyang tumigil na sa pagiyak ang Bata pero mahinang humihikbi parin ito.

"magic?"

"yes. I know some magic. you want to see my magic?"

mabilis na tinango nya ang ulo nya Kaya bahagyang natawa ako.

"just close your eyes and the blood will gone. you want that?"

"yes yes. I want that. Im so afraid of the blood please, please do that magic"

"okay so now, I want you to close your eyes, and count 1 to 5"

mabilis na pumikit sya at nag simula ng bumilang. agad na kinuha ko ang panyo sa sling bag ko at bahagya itong binasa Mula sa falls at dahan dahang pinunasan ang tuhod nya.

"aww"

inda nya. pero tinuloy nyang muli ang mabagal na pag bilang.

"4 and 5"
"now, open your eyes"
"wow. the blood is gone. I still feel the pain but the blood is gone. thank you so much"

nagulat ako ng patalon nya Kong niyakap.

"what's your name?"
"I'm Alexandra."

natigilan ako sa narinig. bakit sa dinami Rami ng pangalan yan pa.

"are you okay, ate Sarah?"
"ahm. yeah. I'm okay. ahm, where's your parents? why are you here?"
"their inside, they always want to talk to some strangers than playing with me. I hate them."

at nag cross arms pa sya.

"a-alex, you must not hate them. they are your parents."
"but they don't love me. they love their jobs than me"
"that's not true. they love you and I'm sure of that and they do all of this for you."
"but I want to play with them."
"Alex. your parents do all of this for your future. you know what, my mom and dad is like your parents. they always don't have time for me. they always do a lot and same thing everyday and they forget me."
"are you mad at them?"
"hm, no. I should not"
"but why?"
"because i see how they sacrifice for me. they always give their time on their work. they don't even have time to eat, to rest and to sleep. did your parents forgets your birthdays?"

umiling sya.

"no. they always give me surprises and  a lot of gifts."
"did they forget to kiss you?"

muli syang umiling

"to hug you?"
"nah. they always do that. Everytime."
"see. they love you. maybe they just need to give a lot of their time in their work to give all what you want. all your request, your gifts but they love you. and I'm sure their looking for you because they love you."

muli syang umiyak pero Hindi na katulad kanina. muli nya Kong niyakap.

"thank you ate Sarah. I promise. I will always be a good girl. Mom! Dad!"

sigaw nito at agad na bumitaw sa pagkakayakap sakin at tumakbo palapit sa mag Asawa.

muli akong binalot ng hiya ng Makita ang ilang mga bigating tao na nasa harapan Kona ngayon.

"that was so.. dramatic hahaha"
sinimangutan ko lang si Drake at pasimpleng pinalo.

"kanina paba kayo dyan? bakit Hindi mo sinabi?"
"we don't want to disturb you. that's all."
"your really amazing."

nilingon ko ang nag salita, isang babae na sa tingin ko nasa mid 40's pero maganda parin at maputi. katabi nya ang isang lalaki na sa tingin ko mas matanda lang ng konti sa kanya pero gwapo parin ito.

"ahm. good evening po"
"good evening Iha. Nakakatuwa Naman Kung pano mo kinausap si Alex. "
Sabi ng babae.

"yeah. she even do the magic thingy hahahaha"

tugon Naman ng lalaki at pati ang ilang taong kasama namin ngayon, tumatawa na rin. geez. so kanina pa sila. nakakahiya naman.

"she's a teacher. of course Alam nya Kung pano I handle ang mga Bata. right?"
"ahm hehe yes mam."
"oh. don't be so formal. you can call me mama."
natatawang Sabi ng babae.

"mom!"
singit ni Drake. teka? mom?
"mom? are you saying that-"
"ahm yeah. she's my mom and he's my dad"
pag tinamaan ka nga naman ng lintik.

"oh my God. I'm very sorry. Hindi ko po kayo nakilala. pasensya na po talaga ahm, Hindi ko po -"
"hahahaha. nakakatawa ka talagang Bata ka."

eh? kinakabahan na ko dito tapos sila tumatawa lang.
tumakbo palapit sakin si Alex at humawak sa kamay ko.

"ate Sarah, that's my Lola Cora and he is my Lolo Marlon. she's my mother, she's kaira and my daddy Ramon."

"ahm, good evening. pasensya na sa mga nasabi ko. nako. nakakahiya talaga"

"no it's okay. dapat nga kaming mag pasalamat eh, Tama Naman lahat ng sinabi ni Alex, pero salamat parin sayo." nakangiting Sabi ni kaira.

"uncle, come on let's go inside, I want to show to ate Sarah my doll"

she was referring to Drake. so itong mga nakapaligid sakin ngayon ay mga kamag anak ni Drake. oh gosh. nahihilo na ko.

"come on. let's get inside."
aya ni mam Cora sa lahat.

hinila Naman kami ni Alex papasok ng hotel.
tumingin ako ng masama Kay Drake na parang sinasabing 'mamaya-ka-saking-loko-ka' he just shrug his shoulder pero inirapan ko lang sya.
