Chapter 7
What is the truth?
Althea’s POV
Nagising ako sa clinic. Nakita ko na gabi na din pala. Teka kwarto ko to ah. Nakita ko sa Mommy sa side ng bed ko. She was holding a towel. Nakatulog na din siya. I guest nilagnat ako dahil sa nangyari kahapon. Umupo ako at ginising si Mommy “Mom.”
“Oh,Thea. Wag ka munang tumayo.”
“Ma, pano po ako napunta dito.”
“Ah tumawag si… Ah hinatid ka ni Cole dito.”
“Huh? Mom, bakit parang may paused ha?” Then I smiled at her. “Thank you ma”
“You are my child, you are important to me. Kaya sige na you need to rest.” Then nahiga na ko. That’s what mommy and daddy do when one of us is sick, they made sure that we are ok, before anyone else. Hands on sila sa amin.
Kinabukasan.
Wala na kong lagnat. And I’m very ok right now. Bumaba ako. Medyo maaga pa. Kaya di pa gising si Toby. I saw Dad on the veranda na nakaupo, nagbabasa ng dyaryo and umiinom ng kape. Nilapitan ko siya.
“Good Morning Dad.” He just looked at me. “Is there any problem Dad?”
“Are you ok?”’
“Yes, dad. I’m perfectly fine.”
“Thea, can we talk?” Seryoso ata si Daddy. Nakita ko na nasa likod si Mommy.
“Do you really have to do this, Hon?”
“I need to protect her. I don’t want to see her cry again.”
“Ok. I let you talk to her.” Then mom left us. Naguguluhan na ko ah.
“Dad?”
“Ok, let me say this first. I saw you cry when you got home from a “Date” that you’re mom told us. When Celine, hugged you both. She sees me and give me a sign not to do anything reckless. I knew what happen.” I don’t know na, Dad was looking. “I know that you love Yuan. And I never said anything about that. I ignore it all. Even I knew that you were hurting. That, he doesn’t like you but Sage. But now, I can’t take this anymore. Ikaw lang ang anak kong babae. And you are my only princess. Don’t expect me, to just look at you while you are crying. So..” He’s is hesistating now. And I’m starting to feel nervous.
“So what Dad? Say it to me.”
“Were going back to U.S and that’s for good.”
“But Dad.” Then he stand up.
“Hindi ito pakiusap Althea Louise, but a command. A command that you’re going to obey. Because I had this all ready.”
