Privacy
(What does privacy means?)
[Zaira & Collette's Flashback 0.2]
INIS NA sinamangutan ko sina Mommy at Collette. Naka-cross arms pa ako habang sobra ang pagkakasimangot na tumingin sa kanila.
“Mommy, and you--Ugh! I don't know what i should addressed you! Privacy, duh? This is my room! Tapos ay bigla bigla na lang papasok kayo, hindi man lang kumakatok!” inis kong daing sa kanila.
Naglabi muna si Mommy bago ako lapitan.
“Look, anak? Can't you just be happy na finally we're together again? As a complete family?” pang-kukumbinsi ni Mommy.
I smiled, not sweetly and not bitterly though.
“Ewan ko nga din ho, eh. I should be crying in joy this time. That finally, finally, time have come and i... Finally... Have a complete family. Me as a daughter, a mom and a dad, grandfather, grandmother, uncle, and auntie. But i can't get it! I still feel like i have a family that i'm missing! May kulang pa rin, 'di ko masabi kung ano..alin..lalo namang kung saan. Mommy, be honest, am i... Am i really your daughter? I mean, am i not adopted? Or whatsoever?” napipiyok at gumagaralgal ang boses ko nang tanungin ko no'n si Mommy.
She was stunned, didn't expect that it was what i'm going to answer her.
Lumapit siya sa akin at hinawakan ako sa magkabilaang braso.
“D-Don't think like that, anak, okay? A-Ano... A-Ahmm... Just don't, okay?” tila natatarantang sabi ni Mommy.
Nagtataka ko siyang tinignan siyaka bumuntong hininga at siyaka tumayo at lumapit sa pintuan.
“I'm going somewhere fresh, mom.” paalam ko pa.
Siyaka ako lumabas, papalabas na ako ng mansion mg may mag-text sa akin, kaagad kong binuksan ang phone ko.
Starlette
😭😭😭😭😭
Nangunot ang noo ko sa naging text niya, agad ko siyang nireplayan.
Me
What's up?
Starlette
Tangina, beh.
Me
Bakit?
Starlette
Hindi ako dinadatnan, pang-tatlong araw na ito, gagsto. Kabado bente, hanep.
Me
What? Fr? Fr?
Starlette
Ewan ko, beh!
Me
You're irregular, right?
Starlette
Sadly, no.
Me
The fuck?! Baka na-traffic lang? Oh my!!
Starlette
I don't know! Last day of the month na bukas, tuwing last month ako dinadatnan, pero, alaws pa rin, sana bukas meron na, kasi ewan ko!!
Gulat akong napatingin sa phone ko, what? She's delayed or what? Oh my!!
Me
Baka.... False pregnancy?
Starlette
Tangina, hindi ko alam!
Me
Let's meet up?
