Distance

Lies

Tin's POV

One month na rin ako rito sa Paris, dahil di ako pinapayagan ni tita Susan umuwi.

Tita Susan: Tin cancel all your schedule today, mag lulunch tayo kasama ang family ni Matthew.

May magagawa ba ako? So I just nod and say yes.

Umakyat na ako sa kwarto para magprepare, ilang araw na rin di sinasagot ni Josh ang tawag ko. But I keep on dialing his number.

Dialing Josh ❤️

Josh: Hello?!

"Hey love atlast sinagot mo rin. Super busy ba?"

Josh: Ah yeah sorry tin mejo busy nga ako marami kasing schedule this month. How are you?

"i'm ok naman miss ko na kayo. Pero sympre mas miss na kita yieee"

Josh: Haha puro ka naman biro eh.

Parang may kakaiba, ang cold ng voice niya.

Then I heard someone on the line.

Sir, ready na po kayo ni misis.

"Ahm Josh where are you right now?"

Josh: Ah sinamahan ko lang si ate magpapacheck up.

"Oh? How is she?" Wala naman ako narinig na nagkasakit si Ate Yuri.

Josh: She's Ok need lang talaga magpacheck up sige Tin i need to hang up the phone. I will call you later.

"Ok Love I--"

Before ko pa masabi yung sasabihin ko ay binaba na ni Josh ang phone.

Mukhang busy talaga si Josh nowadays.

Tita Susan: Tin *knock* ready ka na? Let's go.

I get my bag and walked through the door.

I felt something's not right.

Josh's POV

Di ko alam paano ko sasabihin kay Tin. Though di pa namin na coconfirm talaga na akin ang bata.

Pat:Josh are you ok?

Habang nakahiga siya at ang OB niya ay nag uultrasound.

OB: here's your baby, she's ok and i think she's ready to see the world.

Napatitig lang ako sa monitor. Talaga bang anak ko itong bata? Magkahalo ang nararamdaman ko masaya pero malungkot.

After ng check up ay lumabas na kami ni Pat. Nauuna ako maglakad sa kanya.

Pat: Josh wait, intayin mo naman ako.

"What? Hey Pat tandaan mo you signed a contract na wala makakaalam na buntis ka at di mo pwede sabihin na ako ang ama niyan"

Pat: alam ko naman yun to protect your career. Ahm Josh nagugutom ako.

"Eh di kumain ka na" aalis na sana ako pero hinawakan niya ang braso ko.

Pat: Josh please samahan mo naman ako. Wala ka naman schedule today diba?

Wala na ako nagawa kundi samahan siya. Pinili niya na kumain sa Jabee.

"Bat dito tayo kakain? Masama sa bata ang fast food."

Pat: Cravings Josh, mahirap kaya hehe.

Nakakatawa pa siya kahit alam niya nahihirapan na ako.

While Pat is eating i texted Tin.

Hi, Tin i will call you later after ng sched ko.

Di ko muna sasabihin sa kanya siguro pag sure na talaga ako.

Tin's POV

Andito na kami sa resto kung saan naghihintay ang pamilya ng fiancé ko raw.

Tita Susan: Amigo, hello nice to see you. By the way this is Kristina she's my niece.

Tito Carlos: Hi Kristina, she's really a pretty child.

Ngumiti lang ako kay tito carlos.

Tita Susan : Of course Carlos, for what that I am her tita.

At ngumiti sakin si tita.

Tito Carlos: By the way this is my wife lisa, lisa this is Susan and her niece Kristina.

Tita Susan : Hi lisa nice to finally meet you. By the way just call her Tin. Sorry if she's not speaking, you know young ones nowadays are very shy.

Tita Lisa: Matthew is on his way now. Oh here he is.

At kinawayan ni tita Lisa ang isang chinitong lalaki na papalapit na rin samin.

Tita Lisa: Tin this is Matthew your fiancé.

Matthew: Hi Tin nice to finally meet you.

At nag shake hands kami. Buong gabi ay nagkwentuhan lang si tita susan at ang mga kaibigan niya. Maya-maya ay nagsalita na si Matthew.

Matthew : Ahm tita, mommy daddy, can I excuse Tin for a while? She looks bored hehe.

Tita Susan: Sure sure?! (lumapit sakin at bumulong) Tin magpakabait ka sinasabi ko sa'yo.

I just nodded my head and follow Matthew.

Matthew: I guess you're not ok with this marriage as well.

Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya.

"You're not ok with this set up right?"

Matthew: Yeah I am not. Ayoko naman talaga makasal sa taong di naman ako mahal.

"Same reason, may boyfriend na rin ako sa Philippines."

Matthew: But what can we do?

We both felt helpless.

After a few hours ay nagpaalam na rin kami sa family nila Matthew dahil may board meeting pa raw si tita at tito carlos.

Tita Susan: Tin umuwi ka na diretso sa mansyon, oh before i forgot your mom ask me if i can let you go home, and I decided to let you pero you need to come back here sa Paris. Your flight ticket is at my desk it's for tomorrow.

Takang taka ako bakit biglaan ako pinapauwi ni tita. After niya magbilin ay umalis na siya at pinahatid ako sa driver.

I don't know what to expect and how can I tell Josh about the marriage. I guess life is full of lies.
