Simula noong bumalik ako dito sa bahay hindi ko pa nakausap si mama, kahit isang beses. Ang lalim ng sugat na iniwan niya sa 'min simula nang araw na iniwan niya kami.
Naranasan kong mawalan ng nanay 'yung tipong gusto ko ng kalinga at aruga ng isang ina pero wala. Nasanay nalang akong walang magulang kaya hanggang ngayon ganito pa din kami. Buti nalang at andiyan si lola para tumayong nanay at tatay naming magkakapatid noong panahong iniwan niya kami. Kaya hindi ko alam kung handa na ba 'kong patawadin siya. Pero sana dumating 'yung araw na magbago siya at mapatawad ko ang nanay ko, dahil ayokong mayroong sama ng loob sa puso ko dahil ambigat-bigat sa feeling.
From Rigel:
Cass, Nicolo's Birthday Celebration later 9:00 PM at Pitcher Perfect's Bar. I will fetch you then we'll go together, I love you.
To Rigel:
Okay see you later, I love you too.
Matapos kong gumawa ng plates at magreview, naligo na 'ko at nagbihis. Pagkababa ko ay nandoon na si Rigel nag-aantay sa 'kin.
Agad siyang lumapit sa 'kin upang bigyan ako ng halik sa pisngi.
"Are you done? Let's go?" He asked.
I nodded.
"We're going na po, I'll bring her home safely." Pagpapaalam niya.
Nagpaalam lang ako kay lola at lumabas na kami ng bahay. Sumakay na kami sa kotse niya makalipas ang sampung minuto, nasa tapat na kami ng bar na sinasabi niya. Pinark niya lang ang kotse at bumaba na kami.
"Hi Nicolo! Happy Birthday!" I greeted him.
"Thank you Kc!" He gave me a smile, then he tried to hug me but Rigel is always there to block him.
"Happy Birthday Bro, please stop being annoying." Rigel said, then he rolled his eyes.
"Thank's pre, hahaha I just want to tease you. I'll just check my other visitors, I'll be back" Nicolo chuckles.
Umupo na kami, pagkabalik ni Nicolo ay may kasama na siyang waiter. Naglapag siya ng Henessy, Jack Daniels, Don Julio Blanco, Remy Martin, Hendricks at Tanquery London Dry.
"Hindi naman siguro sila alak na alak 'no?" I whispered to myself.
Agad na uminom si Misty, sunod-sunod ang inom niya ng alak at hinahayaan lang siya ng mga kaibigan niya. Nagalala 'ko sakaniya kaya tinanong ko si Rigel kung may problema ba si Misty.
"Rigel okay lang ba si Misty?" I asked with so much confussion.
"She's broken that's why we let her drink."
Sobrang wasted na ni Misty habang kami naman ni Rigel ay hindi man lang uminom kahit isang patak ng alak. Pinapainom ko siya dahil okay lang naman sa 'kin, ngunit ayaw niya daw dahil nagbabago na siya.
"It hurts a lot! Fuck you cheaters! All of you are fucking trash!" Misty yelled while she's crying so hard.
Agad naman siyang inawat ni Clyde at Nicolo. Napatingin ako sa gawi ni Rigel.
"Please don't cheat on me Rigel, don't do that to me. I don't want to experience that kind of pain. "
Tumingin naman siya sa aking mga mata.
"Cassiopeia your soul is rare and beautiful, I will never cheat on you, I'm scared of hurting you because I'm afraid to lose you,
you're my greatest blessing Cass. I prayed for you everyday, so why would I cheat on you? If your jelous then it leads us to fight, we have to communicate properly we'll always try to fix it, okay?" He sincerely said while looking at me.
