Tease 40
"Please talk to my son. Mahal ka niya. Ibalik mo na siya sa dati. "
"Dati? Yung naglolokong Ervin? Manloloko pa rin naman po siya ah. " i said and sip my juice.
"Hindi ka niya niloko, Ann. Even last two years, hindi ka niya niloko. He loves you so much. "
I smiled faintly. Bakit ba ayaw maniwala nitong si Tita Erminda eh huling-huli na sa akto yung anak niya. At hindi pa nito dineny. Talagang tahasang sinabing niloloko niya lang ako.
"Pano mo nasabi? " i said copying one of the famous line in facebook.
"Because that's the truth! " she shouted and held her heart. Naalarma naman ako at hinimas himas ang likod nito. Susmiyo naman! Lagi na lang siyang inaatake kapag kasama 'ko. Ang tanda-tanda niya na tas inee-stress ko pa siya. Kasi naman eh! Pinagpipilitan pang mahal ako ng anak niya.
"Tama na po. Nakakasama po sa kalusugan niyo. I think we should stop seeing each other. Tingnan niyo. Inaatake kayo. As much as i hate your son, i don't want you to die to get even with him. "
She smiled warmly at me. "You don't want to get even because you love him. Ayaw mo siyang masaktan kasi mahal mo siya. I also got on your shoes before. "
"I am not denying that i still love him. But i'm moving on. I don't want to be stuck in a one sided love, Tita. Ipapaayos ko na rin sa abogado ko yung agreement namin ni Ervin tungkol sa sched namin kay Anvriel. And then, like the usual lovers who broke apart, we'll have our own lives back. "
She smiled faintly at me and brush her hand on my cheeks. "You're telling me those words without emotions but your eyes are swelling. Can't you fight for my son, Ann? Para na lang sa anak niyo. "
Tengeneng luha to. Hindi marunong pumreno!
"I can't. Ayokong magkaron ng pamilya si Anvriel pero hindi naman ako mahal ng ama niya. A family is made because of love, on each other. Hindi yung isa lang ang nagmamahal-"
"Mahal ka ng anak ko. Alam ko yun. "
I smiled faintly. "You always say that but it's the other way around. Mahal ko ang anak niyo, hindi siya ang nagmamahal sa aming dalawa. Ako yun. "
"I was diagnosed with a heart failure. May butas ang puso ko at kailangan ng heart transplant. My son gave you up to help me. I'm sorry. Ako talaga ang may kasalanan. " she said and tears started to form on her eyes.
"A-ano? " ayaw mag-sink in sa utak ko.
"Yung baklang manager niya. He threaten my son that if he won't break up with you, wala siyang ibibigay na projects para sa anak ko. Hindi kami magkakapera pampaopera. I told him to don't do what that bitch say. Akala ko kayo pa rin pagkasuccess ng operasyon ko. But i was wrong. I thought he was crying for he was happy that I'm alive pero yun pala yung araw na umalis ka sa Pilipinas. He tried to find you but he can't reach you. Walang mahanap na information tungkol sa 'yo. Para kang bulang bigla na lang nawala ang existence. My son thinks that it has to do with your friends so he tried to talk to them but their mouths were shut. He was always smiling in front of the camera but when you see him in the inside, he's like a lost child with no direction."
Naluha ako sa mga sinasabi niya. I don't know what to say. Kaya ba hindi niya sinasabi sa 'kin ang dahilan dahil sa nanay niya? He wanted to take all the blame and just win me back afterwards.
Tita Erminda held my hands. "Go talk to him, please. He never cheated on you, even in the whole two years you were away. Wala siyang ibang naging babae. He always deny the controversies about him and other actreses who became his leading lady. You see? He's not like always pashowbiz boy who'll say mysterious things to make people think that he's dating. Ayaw niyang isipin mong pinagpalit ka na niya sa iba. Whatever your problem is, alam kong may dahilan siya. Please... just give back his life again. I want my cheerful son back. And i know that your the only one who could do it."
