"Oh, so police ka pala?" I asked with full of amusement written on my face.
"Yep! Yes, I completed my criminology course."
Nandito kami ni Kuya sa restaurant na katapat lang ng building. Siya ang nag suggest na masarap daw ang servings dito.
Hindi ko maiwasang maluha sa saya. Gosh, pangarap ni Kuya 'yon noon at sobrang proud ako dahil nakamit niya iyon sa gitna ng kalungkutan na bakas na bakas sa mga mata niya until now.
They're the real survivor, hindi ako.
"Hey, why are you crying?"
Biglang nataranta si Kuya kaya inabutan niya ako ng tissue na kinuha ko naman.
"Wala. Nakaka proud lang kasi na nagawa mong lampasan yung training kahit na mahirap." Palusot ko kahit na may facts doon. I am so proud of him.
"Well, I have motivations." Sabay kibit-balikat.
"Your girlfriend?" I asked.
Natigilan siya. Napuno ng pagaalinlangan ang mukha niya at pagkailang. Feeling ko wrong move ako.
"Uhm, yes." Sagot niya.
"Oh, that's good." I let out an awkward smile. "Yeah, right."
Kumain muna kami at napagpasyahan namin na maglakad lakad muna sa park near the building. Malilim naman doon dahil napapalibutan iyon ng mga puno at mga halaman na namumulaklak.
"You know what? Ms. Macatul--"
"Just Lyza." I cutted him off.
"L-Lyza," banggit niya. He cleared his throat before he continued to speak. "You remind me a lot of my cousin. Your features and everything about you remind me of her."
Hindi ako kumibo at nanatili akong nakatingin sa kawalan habang pilit na pinipigilan ang emosyon ko.
I am aware that this thing might happen, na ma-open ang topic about kay Alisa. I even prepared for my answers if ever na magtanong siya nang magtanong to save myself from exposing the truth.
