DQ - 10

"What? Umalis sila ng bansa? Are you sure na hindi sila nakatunog sa plano natin?" I asked. Hinilot ko ang sintido ko, Everything was already planned.

And my hands are also itching to finish Jake's group. I can even imagine how will I make them suffer.

But unfortunately, Biglang lumipad si Jake at ilang tauhan nito papuntang ibang bansa.

"Jake isn't the type of person who will back down from a war that we're planning to create. May biglaang business lang daw si Jake sa California and wala pang date kung kelan sila babalik. Our plans are already settled. We just have to wait, okay?" I heard him sighed. Nasa balcony ako ngayon ng kwarto ni Travis. Tanaw ko din ang araw na malapit nang umusbong. Pati na din ang mga hardinero nila na masayang inaayos ang mga halaman ni Tita Tanya.

"Fine. As if we have a choice, Wag lang talaga niya akong subukan, Hindi ako magdadalawang isip tapusin siya kahit nasaang lupalop pa siya ng mundo" I rolled my eyes and clenched my fist.

Hindi ko na hinintay pang magsalita si Park ulit at pinutol ko na ang tawag. I saw Travis sleeping peacefully, Kinuha ko ang bag ko at lumabas na ako sa kwarto niya. He's not my responsibility anymore, Hindi ko na obligasyon pang alagaan siya.

Pababa sana ako ng hagdan nang nakita ko si Tita Tanya na nakikipag-usap kay Manang. She's still wearing her evening robe. I wasn't expecting na makakasalubong ko siya in this early morning. Hindi ko ito napaghandaan.

My heart is beating so loud and I don't know why. Ilang taon na din kasi siguro ang lumipas nang huli kong nakita ang pamilya ni Travis. Ni hindi ko alam kung ano na ba ang tingin nila sa akin, Or baka mamaya syempre boto sila kay Aubrey at hate na nila ako.

Their opinion matters to me because I treated them as my own family. Kahit na noong wala na kami ni Travis, They still have a special place in my heart.

"Oh my God! Shanaia anak, I missed you so so much! You look gorgeous! Your tito will be so happy to see you. Grabe, I can't believe that you're actually here. I thought I was dreaming when Manang told me that you drived Travis home" Mahigpit ang yakap na binigay sa akin ni Tita Tanya. I flashed a smile and hugged her back.

How can I not love Travis' mom? She treated me as her own. Madalas pa nga kaming lumabas at magshopping kesa sa dates nila ni Travis.

Lalo na kapag may business meetings sila na out of the country, Mas madami pa ang pasalubong niya sa akin kesa kay Travis.

"I missed you more, Tita! You're looking younger, Hmm tell me what's your secret?" I joked. Tumawa naman siya sa sinabi ko. But she immediately changed her expression into a frown.

"I'm still mad. Just because na nag-break kayo ni Kylie, You forgot about us na. Miski noong umuwi ka ay hindi mo ako dinalaw" She said. Guilt crept inside me. If she only knew how I wanted to visit her and tito.

But that time, I was grieving. My family was grieving. I only focused on my pain and forgot about the other things.

"Sorry tita, I was so preoccupied with what happened, and I thought Aubrey might get the wrong idea if I'll visit you here. Syempre she's the girlfriend, Baka magselos. She's a bit warfreak sometimes" I laughed. I saw how tita rolled her eyes when I mentioned Aubrey's name.

"That Girl. Hmp! I used to like her, you know. But when she started talking bad things about you, I'm kinda disappointed in her" Nginitian ko na lamang si Tita. Ayoko na lang magsalita, Kahit na pangalan palang ni Aubrey ang naririnig ko ay agad na dumadaloy na ang inis sa sistema ko. Pero hindi ko nalang pinansin ang inis ko bilang respeto na din dahil girlfriend siya ni Travis.

Nagpaalam na ako na umalis at nangako na lamang na babalik ako within this week para makita ko din sila Trailey at Tito John.

I parked my car in the driveway at iniwan ko nalang ang susi sa may coffee table. Sigurado naman akong ililipat nila ang kotse ko kung nakaharang ito sa kanila.
