FAITH

Huminto ang itim na Audi R8 sa harap ko. Bumaba ang tinted na bintana. I knew who it was, hindi ko lang inaasahan na hihinto siya sa harap mismo ng office building namin para kausapin ako. He was still in his black business suit minus the tie. While I was in the red short dress uniform.

"Get in!"

Tumaas ang kilay ko. May lakad na naman kami na hindi ko alam?

"Faith, ano ba?"

Nagmamadaling pumasok ako sa kotse. He was already rolling up the window before I even shut the door. Tumagilid ako ng upo para mapaharap sa kanya. This was one of the unusual days. Kapag may girlfriend siya ay hindi niya ako isinasakay pauwi. Siyempre si ate girl muna. Kapag kailangan niya ako ay pinapatawag niya ako sa opisina niya o kaya ay nagkikita kami sa labas. So him picking me up like this only meant one thing... "Nasan si Sarah?"

Kunwari ay tumingin siya sa likod. "Dunno."

He turned right to the next street. His eyes were on the road.

"What have you've done?"

He shrugged. "I didn't do anything."

Iniba ko ang tanong. "What did she do?"

"Gusto niyang makilala ang parents ko. I don't think this is the right time."

Napamaang ako. "Do you have to break it up with her just because of that?"

Sinulyapan niya ako. "Hindi ako ang nakipag-break, siya."

I was speechless.

"I told her this is not the time to meet my parents yet. Sabi niya kung hindi ngayon, kailan? So I said, I don't know, but its not now. Sabi niya kung hindi ko siya ipapakilala kina Mama ay kalimutan na lang namin ang isa't isa."

I was dumbstucked. "And?"

"I said okay."

I closed my eyes. Sumandal ako sa backrest at umayos ng upo. Not again. "Ang tagal n'yo na ni Sarah, I am almost seeing wedding bells."
