Richard's POV

From Royalties Hotel until we reach our house, Maine never uttered even a single word.  Kung kanina naiinis ako kasi hindi nya pinapansin ang mga text at calls ko, mas nakakainis pala na personal syang hindi namamansin.  She did not event join us for dinner at sinabing nabusog na sya sa food tasting.  I was silent during Celestine’s bedtime stories and prefers to just stay with her kahit hindi nya talaga ako pinapansin. 

When she went straight to our room after Celestine’s bedtime story that’s the time I decided to talk to her.  Obviously, iniiwasan nya ako because she skipped going in the family room to watch our favorite TV program with me.

“Are you mad at me Meng? May nagawa ba akong hindi mo nagustuhan?” I asked

“Pagod lang ako Faulkerson, Jr. gusto ko nang magpahinga” she replied

“There is something that you are not telling me” I insisted

“Mahirap bang maintindihan na pagod lang ako?  Ano bang sinasabi mong may dapat akong sabihin sa yo?”  she gloomily said

“May monthly period ka ba kaya ganyan ka kasungit?” I asked

“Wala kang pakialaman” she fiercely replied

“Kausapin mo muna ako please.  Kagabi mo pa ako hindi pinapansin” I said calmly.  “What have I done wrong? Sabihin mo kasi para alam ko” I said

“What’s the point of telling you pero hindi ka naman naniniwala sa sagot ko.  Simula ngayon wag mo na akong pinagkakausap at nasasayang lang ang oras ko sa yo” she said.  She is beginning to speak up but the more I am getting confused with her replies

“So hindi lang ito simpleng pagsusungit dahil sa monthly period.  Nagagalit ka talaga sa akin” I concluded “Don’t you think I deserve to know why?  You already judge me without even hearing my explanation to whatever the reason of that anger.  Hoy Menggay, pahingi naman ng konti oras, magpapaliwanag lang ako.  You know me, hindi kita titigilan hangga’t hindi mo ako kinakausap” I threatens and continuously poking her

“Ang kulit mo Faulkerson, Jr.” she irritably said

“At may mas ikukulit pa ako, kapag hindi mo ako kinausap” I said.  “Kaya para makapagpahinga ka ng matiwasay, sabihin mo na sa akin bakit ka nagagalit sa akin” I asked

“I hate it when you don’t trust my judgement” she said

“So this is about the reservations in Royalties Hotel” I said “It is not true that I don’t trust your judgement” I stated

“I told you not to come, but you insisted.” She said

“Moral support lang naman ako, you were very upset last night nung nalaman mong mag-isa ka lang na pupunta sa Royalties Hotel, I even offered to come with you but you started to be grumpy.  I don’t want you to feel alone, specially now that first time mo to organize a family dinner.  I want you to feel my presence and think that I am supporting you on this that’s why I insisted to come with you.” I explained

“Ewan ko sa yo, bolahin mo lelang mo.  Nung nag-offer ng bagong set for food tasting nakita ko natuwa ka” she said

“Syempre naman, libreng food kaya yun.  Royalties Hotel is also known for their good food, sayang naman kung tatangihan ko” I said

“Eh bakit pina-cancel mo pa? Sana pinatuloy mo na lang na i-serve para hindi na rin ako sinisi nung Ellie na yun na hindi man lang kita hinintay before I decide.  If you guys don’t believe in my judgement then magsama-sama na lang kayo.  Ano ba ang laban ko dun eh first love mo nga yun di ba, sino ba naman ako, isang hamak na kaibigan mo lang, natural kakampihan mo yun” she continue ranting.
