I wasn't able to react after what he said. Para akong tangang hindi alam kung ano ba ang uunahing maramdaman.

It was a mixture of pain, guilt,and longing. Maybe it was more painful because I'm longing for him and I am a bit guilty for letting my anger consumed me.

"I'm coming home to you. Can you fetch me on the airport?" he softly asked after a long while.

I nodded blankly. I was still unable to talk but he probably got my answer to his question. Of course, I will. Hindi ko nga lang talaga kayang magsalita dahil sa sinabi niya.

That night after the phone call, I couldn't sleep. Mommy had to check on me from time to time so I assured her I was fine.. kahit na pulang pula parin ang mukha ko dahil sa pag-iyak.

"Pinagalitan ba ng daddy niya?" I heard Mommy asking Tanya before closing the door.

Nakatalikod ako sa side ng pinto kaya hindi nila alam kung gising pa ako. Patay na rin ang ilaw kaya akala nila tulog na ako.

"Nagkasagutan yata.." Pabulong na sabi ni Tanya.

"Her dad's probably stressed about it. We all know that it's hard dealing with the public especially with Kestrielle's case..."

"And she's pained because it happened to her a lot of times.. hindi lang 'yan masyadong nagrereact pero alam kong naaapektuhan siya.." Huling sambit ni Tanya na narinig ko dahil tuluyan nang sumara ang pintuan.

Hindi halos ako nakatulog. Naabutan ko na ang panibagong sigla ng araw na tumatama sa mga mata ko. I stood up to close the blinds and went back to my bed, kasabay noon ang pagkatok ni Tanya sa kwarto ko.

"Sinend ni Cai sa akin kagabi 'yung flight details niya. Susunduin mo daw ba? Kasi kung hindi, nakaabang naman ang Kuya niya sa airport.. hintayin mo nalang dito." Aniya.

Tumango ako at tinakpan ng kumot ang katawan. "Just wake me up an hour before his arrival." I said as I tried to sleep and fortunately, I did.

Sakto ngang isang oras bago ang dating ni Caius ang pag gising ni Tanya sa akin. I took a bath immediately and decided to just wear a shirt and shorts. I was still out of mood to even dress up.

"Magpahatid ka nalang sa Tito mo, Keesh." Sambit ni Mommy habang kumukuha ako ng garlic toast.

"I can.. drive.." I find it hard to say but I think I could manage.

Kumuha na naman ako ng license at nagdriving school na rin ako pero mas madalas na si Tanya parin ang nagdadrive para sa akin.

"Baka traffic, Madam.. delikado.." Si Tanya.

When will I ever live normally?

I shut my eyes and agreed to their suggestions. Ayaw ko munang isipin ang ganitong bagay. Makakadagdag lang sa nararamdaman ko simula kahapon pa.

Tito Davis prepared the car so I hop in with my wayfarers on. Close naman kami at nagkukwento rin siya pero wala ako sa mood kaya tahimik lang ako buong byahe.

I stared blankly at the gate when I sat on the lounge area. Ilang saglit pa ay may tatlong pamilyar na lalaki akong nakita kasama ang isang pamilyar na babae. My eyes narrowed on them but I remained seated until I caught Caius tailing them from behind. They are all on their uniforms except for him who's wearing a casual outfit.

Sien is wearing a very corporate pilot attire with her coat on her arm. Caly is beside her with his arm hooked on her sister's shoulder. Si Grey De Gracia at Noah Celeste ay pareho ring nakauniform at suot suot ang coat habang hila hila ang maliit na luggage.

Sien's eyes went to me. She smirked and waved as her pace doubled towards me. Ngumiti rin si Caly sa akin at bahagyang tumango bilang pagbati.

"Susunduin mo kapatid ko?" Nakangiting tanong ni Sien sa akin.
