We're both driving our motorcycles as fast as we could. I glanced at Jiro.
I'm so lucky to have him.
Huminto na kami sa hindi kalayuan. Natanaw namin ang isang hindi kalakihang bahay. Hindi kami lumapit, nandito lang kami at nakatanaw.
It's already 6 o' clock in the morning. Drag racing are held during midnights. After what happened earlier between us, I decided to show him some more. Para kahit papaano ay may malaman siya sa buhay ko.
"What are we doing here? Do you know the person living in that house?"
Tumango ako bilang sagot. Maya maya ay may lumabas na babae na may buhat na sanggol. Masaya niya itong hinehele sa labas ng bahay nila. Marahil ay gusto niya itong paarawan dahil papasikat na ang araw sa oras na ito.
"Mommy!" Tawag pa ng isang bata mula sa kanyang likuran. Ngumiti ito at hinalikan ang anak.
"Pasok na po ako mommy! Hahatid po ako ni papa!" Masayang sambit ng bata.
And there, mula sa pinto bumungad ang papa ko. Nagtatakang lumingon sa akin si Jiro. I guess he noticed our resemblance.
"Is that y-your .." hindi niya naituloy dahil sumagot na ako.
"My Papa."
The middle aged woman I saw when I was walking on the street was my father's new wife. That's why she's so familiar to me. This was my last information I got after that, there's none.
Naikuyom ko ang kamao ko. Nakuha niya pang mag saya pagkatapos ng pag iwan niya sa amin at sa ginawa niya kay Mama. Isa kang tarantado, Papa.
"Let's go."
Baka hindi ko mapigilan ang sarili ko at masuntok siya.
"Bakit hindi mo lapitan?"
Umiling ako. Ayoko.
"Why would I?" Coldness run in my voice.
"Tatay mo 'yon, Lauren."
I looked at him.
"Hindi siya karapat dapat na maging tatay ko, Jiro. Hindi ko makakalimutan ang ginawa niya." May halong gamit na sambit ko.
"Lauren, you should try to move on and forgive him. You should let go of the past and be happy on what's your present." Pangungumbinsi niya sa akin.
"Its not that easy, Jiro. I cannot forgive him in just a snap."
"Time will let you forgive him, Lauren."
"Yeah but not now, Jiro."
I looked away, I don't want him to see so much rage in my eyes. I got on my motorcycle and started the engine.
"Someday, you'll finally be over it and let go of what's hurting your heart and soul." Nginitian niya ako at lumapit sa akin. He kissed me on the forehead. Kumalma ako bigla.
I let out a loud sigh and return my gaze at him. I smiled back.
"You never fail to amaze me, Jiro." Mahinang sambit ko.
Hindi lahat ng tao, lalo na't lalaki ang may ganitong pag uunawa at personalidad.
It's almost 7 o'clock in the morning when we arrive at home. We both get ready dahil may pasok pa kami pareho.
Tibay, ah. Walang tulog? Tss.
Sumakay na ako sa kotseng napili ko. It's Ferrari F60 America with shiny blue color and white details on headboard.
