Chapter XXII

~•••Raki•••~

"Here, may dala akong food," asik ni Pako habang busy kami ni Aldie na nanonood ng cartoons sa may sala. Nakiupo naman sýa sa tabi ni Aldie. Then suddenly I remembered the girl she was dragging away before.

"By any chance, kilala mo ba si Sebastian Mañalang?" I asked him. I was sure that woman he was dragging was that Seb's sister. I felt like Pako paused a bit and maybe inisip nýa muna before sýa umiling.

"Not familiar," he said and then he asked why. Namalik mata lang ba ako?

"I thought I saw you with his sister before, naalala mo yung sa clinic?" tanong ko sakanya and he immediately nodded.

"Ahhh, when I told you na sumunod ako but then I had something urgent to do. What's the name?" tanong n'ya ulit.

"Re-Rea? Ria? Rialyn, right Rialyn Mañalang" I said.

"Uhmm, I... I don't know her," he said with hesitation.

"Ba't naghehesitate ka?" natatawang tanong ko sakan'ya. He also seemed so serious sa pinaguusapan naming dalawa while Aldie is still busy watching.

"Well maybe she's familiar? I'm not really sure. Mauuna na ako may lakad pa pala ako. See you later Aldie," paalam n'ya at biglang bumangon saka lumabas. I just told him to take care.

"Uyyy, si Ate curious ka sa babaeng kasama ni Pako na sinasabi mo last time no?" pangungutya ni Tikoy. Pinanlakihan ko s'ya ng mata, kung ano ano sinasabi baka ano isipin ni Aldie. Siniko naman s'ya ni Ate Genie.

"Ikaw bata ka kung ano ano sinasabi mo, hindi naman si Pako gusto n'ya. Yung gwapings n'yang boss," panggagatong naman ni Ate Genie. Napatampal nalang ako sa mukha ko at nilingon si Aldie.

"Diba Aldie?" tanong pa nito sa anak ko. Aldie gave her a thumbs up. Tinaasan naman sila ng kilay ni Tikoy at nakiupo upo na din yung dalawa sa'min.

"At bakit s'ya naman ang gusto mo aber?" tanong ni Tikoy kay Aldie. He even added na kailan n'ya pa lang ito nakilala eh. Then ikinuwento ni Aldie sakan'ya yung nangyare nung pauwi pa lang kami. Tikoy gave me a look. He knows who Falco was in my son's life. When Ate Genie asked Aldie na oras na ng siesta magkasama silang pumasok sa room ni Gram, s'ya na daw ang magpapatulog kay Aldie. Then Tikoy talked to me.

"Bakit hindi mo agad nabanggit yon Te?" takang tanong n'ya.

"Hindi ko naman alam na that guy who saved him and nagbalik sa'kin before was him. Kung alam ko lang..."

"Paano mong hindi malalaman naman aber Te?" Tanong n'ya sa'kin.

Kinaltukan ko s'ya, I was panicking already that time, wala na akong oras para kilalanin kung sino man yon sa sobrang pagaalala ko kay Aldie. Napapiling lang si Tikoy.
