"Ang daddy mo, pinapalayas ang kuya at mommy mo. Jusko naninikip ang dibdib ko, umuwi ka rito, Sursha."

Nanlambot ang mga tuhod ko at kasabay niyon ay ang pagbagsak ng telepono sa buhangin. I was about to fall on the ground but Ridge is too quick to catched me. He is too close to me that I could feel his breath against my cheeks at kung normal na araw lang 'to ay tiyak akong hindi na magkakaundagaga ang pagtibok ng puso but this night is different.

My heart is thumping so loud and fast but he is not the reason.

It's definitely different because what I am feeling right now is fear and pain. A mix emotions that I sometimes feel because of Ridge but right now, again, he is not the reason.

Hindi ko maproseso ng maayos ang mga narinig sa kabilang linya. Why would my dad even do that? I've known my parents for so long, I watched them being in love with each other. I could see the spark between them and I definitely could tell how sweet they are the reason why I don't know, I can't believe what's happening rather.

"N-No, my d-dad can't do t-that." I whispered as the tears rolled down my face. "Isa lang ito sa p-pakulo ni kuya para a-asarin ako, 'di ba?" I looked at Ridge and said those words, almost begging for him to tell me that what I heard from my yaya Esmi is kind of a joke.

But I know it wasn't...

I'm just fooling myself so I couldn't feel the pain again.

"Shh, we'll go home, mm? Tahan na, uuwi tayo sa inyo, we'll see what's happening there." Napatingin ako kay Ridge ng marahan niyang haplusin ang aking likuran saka ako ginaya papunta sa parking lot na may kalayuan kung nasaan kami.

He's embracing me and it feels home.

"Thank you..." I murmured not tearing my gaze away from him.

He looked at me. His grey orbs met mine and I felt like my whole being will gonna be explode with so much emotions. We kept staring at each other's eyes, his other hand is still on my waist while the other is in my shoulder.

I couldn't construct any words because of the emotions I'm feeling. Happiness and contentment is what I felt while looking at him.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit tuwing kaharap ko na si Ridge ay parang nawawala na ako sa pukos. It's like I'm in a book where everybody is perfect, where I am the leading lady and he is my leading man, that I don't want to go back in the reality. Reality where he and me will never be meant to be. Kami 'yung tipong pinagtagpo pero hindi nag-ibigan dahil kahit kailan, hindi kami tinadhana para sa isa't-isa.

I mentally slap my face when I realized that I might lose my mother and brother and here I am, thinking of him again.

Ako ang unang nag-iwas ng tingin. Umayos ako ng tayo at agad na binigyan ng distansya ang pagitan naming dalawa bago naunang naglakad papuntang parking lot. I shouldn't think of him at this time.

Pamilya ko muna.

Napalingon ako sa kanya ng agad na pinatunog niya ang key fob na hawak, sa bilis ng naging lakad ko ay hindi ko akalaing nakahabol siya sa akin.

Hinarap ko siya at binigyan ng maliit na ngiti. "Thank you but I think it's way better if I'll just take a tricycle from here."

Hindi ko na hinintay pa ang kanyang sagot at agad nang tumalikod at nagsimulang maglakad pero bago pa man ako makalayo sa pwestong pinanggalingan ay naramdaman ko na ang paghawak niya sa braso ko at ang hindi ko inaasahan ay ang paghatak niya sa akin pabalik. Sa sobrang lakas ng pwersa ay kamuntik na akong mabunggo sa kanyang dibdib mabuti na lang at agad nakahawak ang kamay ko sa kanyang dibdib bilang suporta.
