"You're Khalil's new girl, aren't you?" malamig na tanong ni Mommy ng pagbuksan ako ng pinto ng bahay.
"W-What, Mom? I'm Tito Khalil's new girl? What the hell is that?"
"Then explain me these pictures." she said then handed me her iPad.
Napaawang ang labi ko ng makita ang mga litrato namin ni Khalil. Multi mong noong nagmake out kami sa gilid ng sasakyan na nakapark sa Xyro ay may picture kami. Halos lahat ng kuha sa mga litrato ay gumagawa kami ng kababalaghan. May isa pa ngang litrato na natutulog kaming parehas ni Khalil, nakabalot ng comforter.
"You and Khalil met in Khalid's unit, right? What happened in there? Sabi ng kakilala ko umalis rin daw kaagad si Khalid so it means naiwan kayong dalawa ni Khalil sa loob ng unit." tinaasan pa niya ako ng kilay. She's not look affected with it. Maybe she just want to know the truth.
"We used to f*cked, Mom." pag-amin ko.
"How was it? Is he good in bed?" sarkastikong tanong niya.
"I'm sorry," tanging tugon ko. "I just want to seduced him because I want you two to broke up. Dad is not happy so you guys don't deserve to be happy, too. That's what I'm thinking that day."
She painfully laughed. "You want us to be miserable, don't you?"
"N-No, Mom..."
"If your Dad don't deserve to be sad or in pain, kung ganoon ako, deserve ko 'to?" she asked while crying. "I thought you already understand the situation, Azhia."
"I'm really sorry, Mom..." A tear fell from my eye.
"Ikaw, lumagay ka sa posisyon ko, sige. Kapag ba nabigyan ka ng pagkakataon ng isang tao na pasayahin ka, hindi mo hahayaan ang sarili mo? Na pati 'yung pamilyang maiiwan mo, makakatulong sa kanila ang paghihiwalay ninyo? I also want happiness for you and for your Dad, Azhia. It will help you two to have your freedom also. You guys can find your happiness to others. We pretend like a perfect family for years so why don't let ourselves na maging masaya sa taong mahal talaga natin? Gusto mo ba 'yung para kang nakakulong?"
"But Dad and I weren't ha—"
"You'll be happy, Azhia. Your Dad will be happy. Just don't rush things."
Sa huli ay napagdesisyunan kong mag-empake na ng mga gamit ko. Ang kapal naman ng mukha ko kung mananatili pa ako rito sa bahay ni Mommy matapos ng lahat ng ginawa kong kag*guhan kay Mommy.
"Why are you packing?" she suddenly asked ng mapadaan sa tapat ng room ko. Hindi ko na kasi nasara pa ang pinto ng kwarto ko dahil 'yung isang box na damit kong hindi ko naman na natanggal sa box ay ibinaba ko na kanina.
"I think Dad needs me to our company. Masyado pong malayo kapag dito pa ako nanggaling." magalang na sagot ko. Ang hirap basahin ni Mommy sa totoo lang. Hindi naman kami madalas na magkasama kaya hindi ko alam kung kailan siya totoo at kailan siya nagsisinungaling.
"But I also needs you here, Anak. I don't have anyone else in here." she said then pouted which made me smile a little.
"Khalil will come back here, Mom. I promise you that."
"I don't need him anymore, Anak. I need you more than him. She's just a guy, I can replace him but you? You're my daughter and I can't replace you like that."
"He'll come back, Mom." pagtatapos ko sa usap saka nagpatuloy sa pag-e-empake.
Tinulungan na rin ako ni Mommy sa ginagawa kaya napabilis ako. Hindi naman gano'n karami ang mga gamit ko, mostly ay mga damit lang kaya keri lang sa sasakyan ko.
"Text me when you arrive at home, Anak." paalala ni Mommy ng makasakay ako sa sasakyan.
"Take care, Mom. Bye." sabi ko saka tuluyan ng umalis.
Nagu-guilty pa rin ako sa ginawa namin ni Khalil. Punong-puno ng kung ano-ano ang utak ko habang nagmamaneho pauwi sa bahay namin sa Manila. Ni hindi ako nakapag play ng music sa speaker. Ilang beses na rin akong muntik mabangga at may mabangga.
Isa nalang, mahuhuli na ako. O baka mabangga ng tuluyan.
"Hello, Nics." bati ko sa labilang linya.
Napag desisyunan kong tawagan si Nicole habang nagmamaneho. Nakaear pads naman ako kaya hindi delikado.
[Napatawag ka?] she asked. [May problema ba?]
"Hmm..." Hindi ko alam kung paano sisimulan sa kaniya kaya napabuntong hininga nalang ako. Hindi siya tumugon, tila ba naghihintay ng susunod kong sasabihin. "Mom already know about Khalil and I."
Hindi kaagad siya nakasagot. [Did I heard it right? Is this for real? Stop fooling around, Zhi!]
"No, I'm not, Cole." I answered.
[Then how are you? Where are you? I'll come to you.] sunod-sunod na tanong niya. [F*cking answer me, Azhia! Where the f*ck are you?!]
"Hey, calm down." panimula ko. "I'm on my way home to my Dad's house. I'll do the right thing now."
[Did Tita hurt you? How are you? Did she shout? What did she say? What did she do to you after knowing that you're Khalil's fubu? I don't really know kung mag-ano nga ba kayo ni Doc.]
"She's calm, Ni—"
[Mahal ba talaga ni Tita si Khalil?]
"Of course! Mahal nila ang isa't isa." That f*cking hurts a lot. Agh, f*ck. What's wrong with me? "I know they love each other."
[Then bakit kalmado lang si Tita? Kung ako siya, baka sinabunutan na kita, lalo na't anak pa kita.]
Bakit nga ba hindi gano'n nagalit si Mommy? Bakit naging emosyonal lang siya? I expected her to hurt me kapag nalaman niya ang tungkol sa amin ni Doc. Slap me. Scold me. Kaya bakit? Why she acted that way?
"I don't know, Nics."
[Maybe she didn't really forgive you. She's just pretending that you guys are okay but no. Maybe she has a plan."] I think she's right. [Take care of yourself, Azhia. Don't let anyone win over you.]
"Of course, I won't let that to happen, Cole."
[Good to hear.] she said.
Nang babaan ako ng tawag ni Nicole ay nagpatuloy nalang ako sa pagmamaneho. Malayo-layo pa ako sa Manila. Ang boring ng byahe dahil ako lang mag-isa.
To: Khalil
let's meet later for dinner. 7 PM.
That's the right thing to do, right? Talk to him and end what I've started. Clear things out with him and we're done.
From: Khalil
i'll see u later, then. take care, my love.
Did he really love me? Or it is just an enderment? Ang problema kasi sa mga tao, ang dali sa kanilang sabihing mahal nila ang isang tao na para bang alam nila ang ibig sabihin talaga nito. Tipong mahal mo siya kasi mahal mo. Hindi 'yung mahal mo kasi siya ang nandiyan para sa iyo.
"Ah, f*ck!" gulat na mura ko ng muntik na akong bumangga sa sasakyang bigla nalang umandar mula sa pinagpapark-an nito.
Pamilyar sa akin ang sasakyan kaya kaagad na dumapo ang mga mata ko sa plate number ng sasakyan. At tama nga ako!
To: Khalid
t*nginamo. sarap mong banggain
From: Khalid
ay ikaw pala yon! sabi na nga ba't pamilyar yung sasakyan e
To: Khalid
sana di masarap ulam mo ngayon! muntik na tayong magkabanggan. t*nginamo
From: Khalid
balita ko after n'yo magmeet ng kapatid ko mamaya a-attend sila ng party with your mom?
