CHAPTER 2: TRIO
LEANDRA
"YES! GODMOTHERS!" excited na sabi ni Ate Pia na pumalakpak pa. "Honey! Yung invitation."
Agad namang inabot sa amin ni Jam ang invitation para sa magiging binyag ng baby ni Ate Pia next month.
"Due ko na this month. So gaganapin namin ang binyag next month ng 28. Gusto kasi nina Dad na mabinyagan ang bata agad. So, I'm asking the three of you to be the godmothers. Una palang naman talaga ay gusto ko na kayo maging ninang ng anak ko. It will be cool to have a ninang like the three of you." ngisi ni Ate Pia habang hinihimas ang tyan niya.
We smiled at Ate Pia. We can't help but feel touched by her words. Minsan talaga ay sweet siya haha!
"Gladly, Ate Pia! Magiging cool ninang ako ng baby girl niyo!" ngisi ni Jam na kinatango ko din.
"Excellent! Nasa invitation lahat ng details tungkol sa binyag, or you guys can just text me if you have any questions about it." tuwang-tuwang sabi ni Ate Pia. "Sasabihan ko din si Kai. I know naman na may work siya at nasa ibang bansa siya pero ninang pa din siya."
"Actually, may planong magbakasyon si Kai next month, Ate. Ang kaso ay inaantay niya pa ang approval ng boss niya. Taon na ang lumipas simula ng magbakasyon siya. Busy pa siya ngayon dahil sa tour niya. Sana lang payagan."
"Omy! Sana naman payagan siya! I missed her." pout ni Ate Pia.
Nagkwentuhan pa kami hanggang sa magpaalam saglit ang asawa ni Ate Pia para sagutin ang tawag galing sa trabaho. Si Jam naman ay nag CR saglit.
"I hope you don't mind me asking... pero do you girls still communicate with them?"
Sa sinabi ni Ate Pia ay alam ko na agad kung sino ang tinutukoy niya. Umiling naman ako at tipid na ngumiti. Tumango si Ate Pia.
"I still don't know why you guys broke up, but I'm still hoping that you guys could work things out." ngiti ni Ate Pia.
Me and him never broke up, Ate Pia. We never did.
Gusto kong sabihin iyon pero masyado na itong private. Tsaka ano pa nga ba ang ine expect ko? Ilang taon na kaming hindi nag-uusap so wala na talaga kami. I was the one who told him that I need a cool off. I was the one who left. Only Kai and Jam knows what happened between me and Paolo.
If only I could bring back the time, Ate. I would've stayed. I shouldn't have pushed him away.
Pumasok muli si Jam.
"Oh shit! I almost forgot to inform you guys. Uhhh mga ninong din sila. I hope you guys don't mind. It will be very uncomfortable, but—"
"We'll be fine, Ate Pia." tango ko. Napansin ko naman ang panlalaki ng mata ni Jam sa gilid ng marinig iyon.
"I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable."
Umiling ako at ngumiti. "Okay lang, Ate."
