Uncertainty

Chapter 10

~Aga~

I had a hunch already, the moment I received her reply with "mister" on it. I knew it was her because she was the only one calling me mister.

I left Lea in the restaurant crying yesterday night, I felt guilty a bit but that is what she deserves. What an obsessed human being. I can't believe that she just did that at magsisinungaling pa siya? Ganoon ba siya ka-desperada?

Yung mga naramdaman ko sa kanya nung magkasama kami, (meron nga ba talaga?) ay nawala na parang bula at napalitan ng purong galit. Pakiramdam ko ay napaglaruan ako. How dare you, Lea?

These are the thoughts running in my head while I was driving on the way to the Suarez' mansion. I was invited by tito Arthur again since hindi naman kami nagkita nung isang araw.

After parking my car, I immediately went out with a bouquet of flowers at my hand. And yes, tama kayong lahat, hindi peonies ang binili ko kung hindi sunflowers ulit. Hindi naman kasi para kay Lea, it's for her sister. Pinapadaan ko lang kay Lea pero alam kong kay Rachel siya mapupunta, katulad nung una kong pagpunta rito.

Dumiretso ako sa dining room dahil sabi ng mga katulong na nandoon daw si tito Arthur.

"Oh, Aga, kamusta ka?" Tito Arthur stood up para salubungin ako and he gave me a manly hug.

"Okay lang po, kayo po ba?" I replied.

"Come and join me muna. Sit down. Okay lang din naman ako" He gently smiled at me while ushering me to one of the seats.

"Buti naman po, tito. Maiba lang po ako, si Rachel nga po pala?"

"She left early dahil may hina-handle siyang case ngayon. Si Lea naman is in her room, hindi pa gising. You know, she's a night owl, that's why." He chuckled and I only smiled.

Pero, it's 2pm already, hindi pa rin siya gising? Sobrang late na ah. Hindi kaya...

Tito Arthur interrupted my thoughts, "Alam mo ang magandang gawin, Aga? Puntahan natin ang bunso ko at hatiran ng pagkain." I gulped at his idea. He called one of the maids para i-prepare ang food tray ni Lea.

Okay, I should calm down. Papanindigan ko ang ginawa ko sa kanya , she deserves it anyway.

After 10 mins, "Let's go, hijo. You should be the one carrying these then I'll wake her up." I nodded then he gave me the tray he was holding. I carefully followed him upstairs because in just one wrong step, I will fall.

When we reached Lea's room, tito Arthur carefully twisted the door knob. Hindi talaga siya sanay mag-lock ng pintuan.

She was peacefully sleeping although her back was facing us. Nadatnan din namin na nakakalat ang high heels niya sa sahig at mukhang tama ang iniisip ko kanina, mukhang nakainom ulit siya kagabi. Well, she has all the reasons to get drunk.

"Bunso, wake up." Tito Arthur said while gently tapping her shoulders. She moved a little and that caused my heart to beat rapidly. Bakit ako kinakabahan? Hindi dapat ako kabahan.

"Hmm.." She moaned softly.

"Anak, 2 pm na, wala ka bang balak gumising?" Tito laughed, "Come on, just try to sit down since nandito naman na yung food mo at may kasama pa." Tito looked at me then smirked.
