Magkatabi kami ngayon ni Marcus para kumain. Nasa harap namin ngayon si Tita Beatrice at kanina pa siya lingon ng lingon samin ni Marcus. No one initiates the talking. Awkwardness reigns the atmosphere. But suddenly...

"I'm so happy to see you two, together...again."Tita Beatrice

Gusto ko ng sabihin kay Tita kung ano ang nangyayari ng biglang nagsalita ulit si Tita Beatrice.

"Anyway anak, the thing between you and..."

"Can we not just talk about it mom." pagpigil ni Marcus.

"Okay."malungkot na sabi ni Tita.

"Kumusta na kayo tita?" pagsingit ko para maiba ang momentum.

" Im very glad hija. Ngayong nakita ko kayong magkasama."

I don't how to feel but i know this is a really wrong idea.

"A-ahm tita, we are , ahm I mean Marcus and I are...not together."alinlangan kong sabi

"What?" magulong tanong ni Tita.

"She has a boyfriend mom. At tsaka you shouldn't think that way. Hindi porket magkasama kami. We're together na agad." sabi ni Marcus.

"Oh. I'm sorry darlings. I thought a--ahm... anyway, im so happy for you Rain."pilit na sabi ni Tita Beatrice.

"What brings you here mom?" Marcus

"Galing kasi ako kay Tito Ed mo. May tinanong lang ako about business. Napadaan na rin ako dito tutal malapit lang naman."masayang sabi ni Tita Beatrice. Tumingin si tita sakin at mistulang may itatanong sana ng biglang nagsalita ulit si Marcus.

"How's dad?" tanong ni Marcus dito habang pinaglalaruan ang pagkain. He cant even look on his mom. Tita Beatrice looked at him and sighed.

"He's okay,son. I don't..." Hindi matapos tapos ni tita ang sinasabi niya ng napabaling siya sakin. Hindi ko alam kung anong problema ni Marcus at ang tatay nito pero mukha itong seryosong problema at ayaw kong manghimasok.

"Ahm Tita, i sadly to say i need to go na rin."sabi ko.

"Kayo na muna ni Marcus po ang mag usap."dagdag ko

"Oh. okay hija.By the way this is my number. " inabot niya sakin ang manipis na calling card.

"Thanks,tita,may klase pa kasi ako. "pagsisinungaling ko.

"It's okay. Call me then.  We need to catch up with the 3 years." sabi nito at tumawa ito.

I smiled to her awkwardly then nod.

"I get going then."

Umalis na ako doon at palakad na ako sa faculty room ng nakasalubong ko si Grace. So... this is Grace. Dire-diretso akong naglalakad confidently habang palapit kami sa isa't isa. Lalampasan ko na siya when she suddenly rolled her eyes to me. Tumigil ako and she did too. I backward a little para pumantay sakanya. I smiled to her and say.

" You must be Architect Grace?"

Tumingin lang naman sakin to head to toe. So, I expect that she knew me already. Marcus might have told her that Im his ex fiancee.

"Yes and you are?"

sabi nito na kinagulat ko. Wait! She doesn't know me? or she knows me just by name?not in appearance.

"I'm Rain, Rainica Reyes." paglahad ko ng kamay ko sakanya.  Tiningnan lang naman nito. at bumalik ang tingin sa mata ko. I slowly remove my hand in the air bec.of this awkwarness. I look at her plotting how to bring her down.
