"Hello Dad? Kumusta po?"
"Not good anak..."
"Masama po ba ang pakiramdam ninyo?"
Nakupo wag naman. Mahirap pag nagkasakit siya.
"I wish it was a physical illness. But it's not anak."
Oh...
"Ah eh... Tawagin ko po ba si Deanna?"
Nagising ako sa ring ng phone ko. Sa akin siya mismo tumawag.
So ibig sabihin ako talaga ang gusto niyang makausap...
Napabangon ako bigla pero napahiga din ulit nang marealized kong nakahubad pala ko.
"Luzviminda, Judin and I are friends. Ahead ako ng isang taon kay Balot. At two years naman kay Judin."
Ooh...
Puppy love...
Mahaba-habang kuwentuhan to. Hindi ko mabitawan ang cellphone na nakatapat sa tenga ko.
Hinapit ko na lang ang kumot na nakabalot sa katawan ko.
Langyang Deanna hindi man lang ako binihisan.
"I met Balot in a meeting of glee club in school. I am a member since first year. I play almost all the musical instruments.
Second year ako at freshman siya. We became good friends because she is an excellent singer.
We used to jam together."
Okay...
Nauna pala niyang nakilala si Balot. Yun pala nickname niya.
Kilala na ba ng babaeng yun si Dad bago pa niya nalaman ang tungkol sa Colony?
🤔🤔🤔
"We became best of friends. Kahit tinutukso kami ng lahat, okay lang because I can see that Balot doesn't mind. I always say that she is too young for me.
But....
Judin came the following year. Younger than Balot. But my heart fell for her the first time I laid my eyes on her."
Yun lang.
Saklap.
Sakit nun kay Balot!
Kahit di ko siya kilala, parang naiimagine ko yung nangyari, feeling ko may feelings talaga siya kay Daddy eh, nafriendzoned lang.
"I told Balot a couple of months since I met Judin that I have feelings for my wife. She said right away that she was happy for me.
Jessica...
Being a woman like Balot,
