Dream Come True

31

I stay beside Kara, kakahatid lang ng mga nagaasikaso kay Tita Joy sa funeral.

Tita Joy's friends are here, they're all mourning. I quietly gave Kara coffee, she's not even eat or drink something.

"Hindi ako nagugutom" she seriously said.

"Kara, hindi pwede. Malulungkot si Tita Joy na nakikita kang ganyan" I said, she had no choice to drink the coffee I handed to her.

"Stacy, dito ka muna ha? May pupuntahan lang ako" sabi niya.

Nagtaka ako kung saan siya pupunta pero pumayag na lang ako. Siguro magpapalit lang.

Halos dalawang oras ng wala si Kara, my family is here too and also Spade. But I keep ignoring him.

"Eat first" I felt Spade touch my arm and gave me a coffee.

I looked back. "I'm finished" I said, he gave me a nod and take a seat at the back.

"Stacy"

"Kara, saan ka galing?" I asked.

I thought she's going to change her clothes, but no. Her eyes are full of tears but mixing of anger.

"Wala, thank you sa pagbabantay" she said and sat beside me.

Ilang oras din umuwi muna kami nina Mommy, I'll be back tomorrow.

Spade followed us.

"Saan ka uuwi?" he asked.

"Sa bahay" tipid kong sagot at sumukay na sa sasakyan ko.

I know he's not going in unit, baka nga kasama niya yung girl doon sa picture.

I don't want to disturb them.

*ringgg*

"Mom"

[Shakiara, go home]

"I'm on my way, Mom" my brows furrowed, didn't saw me?

[No, I mean sa unit niyo ni Spade]

Nagtaka ako, para saan?

"Mom, don't you want me to stay at our home?"

[No, I want. But your fiancé want you too]

No, Mom. He wants her girlfriend.

I just answered 'ok' and take a U turn.

Sinalubong ako ni Lemon ng mabuksan ko yung pintuan, I bend down and patted her head.

"I thought you're not coming home?" I heard Spade's voice near me but I decided to keep staring and pretend that I'm playing Lemon's hair.

But I still answered. "Pinauwi ako ni Mommy"

"Do you want to eat something?" he asked again.

"No, I'm full" I said and stood up. "Thanks"
and take a stepped to my room.

I decided to take a shower first before I rest. I just wear a white shirt and paired with shorts. I don't wear my bra, I'm just going to sleep and not coming outside.

My alarm wakes me up, I need to visit Kara.

Nagpunta muna ako sa kusina para magluto ng makakain, I don't see Spade or even his shadow. Maybe he went outside.
