Stonehearts 2: Amethyst

Nineteen

Nanonood kami ng T.V. ni dy. He has been quite since this morning. He talks pero hindi katulad ng dati na madaldal siya at maraming kwento. Mukhang na-disappoint ko nga talaga siya.

Nakaalis na rin sila Tita. Nasermonan pa muna ako bago sila tuluyang lumarga. Umupo ako sa tabi ni daddy at umakap. "Dy, galit ka ba sa akin?" Pabulong kong tanong.

Hindi pa ako ready sa pwede niyang isagot. Pero ayoko namang may tinatago siyang sama ng loob sa akin, he has a weak heart. Ayokong maging rason nun.

"Hindi anak. Hindi lang ako handa na makita ka ulit na may kasamang ibang lalake. Matagal akong naka-adjust sa inyo ni Cael noon, tapos ngayon gugulatin mo ako ng ganito." Yeah, it's my fault.

I was hugging him in silence ng biglang tumunog ang doorbell namin. Maybe it's Chance. He said babalik siya, kaso may kailangan pa raw siyang daanan kaya matatagalan siya.

I opened the door and he was standing at our porch looking dashing. My perfect Chance. He was holding a bouquet of purple roses, like the ones from before. "Hi." Nakangiting tugon niya, I took the flowers he offered. "I brought company." Saka ko sinundan ang tingin niya.

May dalawang taong bumaba sa sasakyan na itim. They were rather dressed so formal. The woman is I think in her early 50's, wearing a long green dress. She was with a man, the same age I think, who's wearing a cream long sleeve. And here I am, in a worn out shirt and short shorts.

"I brought my parents so we're even." Pagpapatuloy ni Chance sabay kindat.

"D-dy." Tawag ko kay daddy na hindi inaalis ang titig ko sa mommy at daddy ni Chance na naglalakad na papalapit sa pinto ng bahay. "M-may bisita tayo."

Naiinis ako kay Chancellor dahil hindi niya man lang ako sinabihan! Edi sana nakapagayos pa ako! Nakapaghanda! Mukha akong muchacha niya.

"I would like to apologize for my son's rather rude behaviour Enrique. He told us everything that has happened. Itong si Placido kasi kinukunsinti ang mga ugali ng anak niyang ganito." Her mom's voice got irked when she looked at her husband.

"Lalake ang anak mo Citi. Hindi mo mapipigilan ang tawag ng katawan." Sagot ng daddy niya. Ilang beses siyang hinampas ng clutch bag ng mommy ni Chance.

Hanggang sa sinuway sila ng anak nila. "Mom, Dad. Will you please act as adults? Kaharap niyo ang daddy ni Love at ganyan kayo. You are both embarrassing me." Inis na tugon niya.

Hindi na ako magtataka kung saan mamana ni Chance ang kakaiba niyang ugali. But he did come from a very happy family from the looks of it. Chance got his eyes and nose from his beautiful mom. While everything came from his father. No wonder nakakalaglag panty ang kagwapuhan ng isang ito. He came from good genes.

Biglang umakbay sa akin si Chance at napabulong. "Lalim ng iniisip natin ah."
