"Who are you?"
"She's my girl Dad." bago pa man ako makapagsalita ay sumagot si Trevor, umayos ng tayo at inakbayan ako. "She's Dannica."
"We're not yet doneTrev. Dannica, it's already late use the guestroom for you to get rest.'ll talk to the both of you tomorrow morning." hindi ko na nagawa pang magsalita ng ipag utos niya na i- lock ang gate. Ni hindi man lang ako tinanong kung pwede ba akong magstay dito o hindi but I guess I need to wait for the sunrise.
.
Galing ako sa kusina nila to drink some cold water and heading back to the guest room when I heard a conversation.
"You missed him right?" boses ng babae ang nagtanong.
"Of course." it was Big boss voice.
"Sweetie. I think you need to face Daniel. You need to make everything clear. Surely he forgot everything and I guess he is happy with Tin."
They're talking about my parents? I want them to have privacy in their own house but the urge to know their side prevailed. So I continued to listen to them. Si Papa ang involved dito.
"Mali ba na inagaw kita sa kanya?"
"Are you serious?" natatawa pa nitong tanong "Kung noon mo ako tinanong tungkol dyan malamang OO ang magiging sagot ko, pero natututunan kasi ang pagmamahal eh. Remember the day I got sick? You're the one who cared for me, kahit na pinagtatabuyan kita hindi ka parin umalis. Hindi mo pa rin ako iniwan. You showed me love endlessly kahit walang kapalit. Sweetie, time heals all the pain. Malay mo just like me napatawad ka na rin niya at baka namimiss ka na rin niya. Hirap kasi sa inyong mga lalaki masyado kayong ma pride. Don't lose hope Sweetie I know everything will be okay and isa pa hindi mo naman ako inagaw ah. Hahahahahah."
"Ah ganun, niloloko mo na ko ng ganyan ah."
Chuckles are all over the place.
Tulad ng ibang mga mag asawa there's always sweet moments every night na nagaganap kaya naman I decided to leave them.
Papa alis na sana ako ng mabangga ko ang isang upuan and it caused a sound that caught the attention of the two. Aaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhh. When katangahan strikes.
"Who's in there?"
I just stood there dumbfounded. Hindi ako makagalaw, para akong isa sa mga estatwa na nasa living room nila.
Then I heard there footsteps towards my direction. Wala na akong nagawa kung hindi ang lumabas. I'm eavesdropping to them in there own house. C'mon, nakakahiya.
"Oh Dannica, why you're here? Hindi ka ba makatulog?" tanong ng babae. "Call me Tita Van, mom ako ni Trevor." dagdag pa niya.
Very light lang ang pagsasalita nito she's beautiful and I guess I will like her if we're given the chance to know each other. Siya si Vanessa, that my Dad loved before?
I smiled to her. "Sorry po, but I need to go hinihintay po kasi ako sa bahay." pagsisinungaling ko, I called at home and told them that early in the morning na ang uwi ko but I think white lies is not that bad, right?
"Ganun ba hija? Ipapahatid na lang kita sa driver. Anyway, salamat sa paghatid kay Trevor pasensya na sa abala." ngiti na lang ang naisagot ko kay Big boss. Pero bago pa ako maka alis ng bahay nila ay may tanong siya na mukang hindi ko na maiiwasang sagutin.

Two days I met Trevor's parents was my daughter's birthday. Everyone was so busy the whole day; preparing the foods and stuff to eat. Mas tense pa nga sakin sina Mama at Papa kasi wala akong ibang ginawa kung hindi ang mag food taste. Eun and Han are here so hindi ako kinakabahan na may makakalimutang gawin, I know that Eun will be a big help.
