Chapter 47 - As I Wave Goodbye

Chapter Forty Seven
"As I Wave Goodbye"
Daniel Rouge Gustilyo's Point of View

That was unexpected.

I never thought about my Papa not being my real father once. All my life, I thought he was my real father. I spent 18 years of my life believing he was — not until my Mother confessed to me that he isn't.

Bakit ngayon ko pa ba talaga malalaman?

Alam kong naging strikto din si Papa sa akin. Pero 'di niya ako nasaktan, at alam ko din naman kasi na noong buhay pa siya. 'Di niya ako tinutuunan ng pansin. But it was fine with me, kasi apat ang kaniyang anak at palagi siyang abala sa pagtatrabaho. Pero 'di ko pala alam na kulang ang atensyon niya sa akin dahil sa 'di niya pala ako totoong anak.

I wasn't expecting about this. Kaya siguro ay nagkadalawa akong lalaking bunso dahil gusto ni Papa na may lalaki siyang anak.

But who is my real father then?

The next few days was a brief experience for me, dahil parang ang bilis lang ng panahon. 'Di ko na pala alam na magdadalawang linggo na ako sa bahay dito. And I was getting a hang of it.

'Di naman kami nagkakailangang dalawa ni Mama. I know she doesn't want to hide secrets to me anymore. Simula kasi nang sinabi niya 'yon, parang wala lang sa aming dalawa ang usapang iyon.

That Papa wasn't my real father.

But something was actually off, when I asked her once about my real father, she would opt for a silence instead. O 'di kaya iibahin niya ang paguusap naming dalawa. Alam ko na magulo ang isipan ko ngayon simula nang sinabi sa akin ni Mama 'yon. But there are bigger problems to think about at parang bonus lang 'to na pwede kong ipasawalang bahala.

So I shrugged the thought off and diverted myself to taking care of my siblings and doing the household chores and it made me feel at ease — at least. Not until a guy came to pick me up.

It was Hans.

I was getting a hang of taking care of my sibilings when Hans visited me on my 'almost' second week of being away from that shithead cousin of his'.

"I have been calling you for weeks!" He yelled at me as soon as he got out of his car. Mismong paglabas nito ng kaniyang sasakyan ay agad niya akong sinalubong ng sermon. "Ilang shows na ang namiss natin." He added.

"I know." Sagot ko sa kaniya. "But can't I have a time for my self?"

"Is it still about Theo?"

"Hans, please 'wag mong sabihin sa kaniya kung nasaan ako ngayon."

"He knows where you are Dani." He answered in a calmly response. "Theo is a smart guy, that's why I came here because, he told me."

Alam ko na nga ba eh. Napapikit na lamang ako ng mga mata ko. "He just don't want to come here because he knows you don't want to see him." He added.

"But I came here because I need to remind you of your shows!" He exclaimed.

Sinamaan ko na lamang siya ng tingin. Kahit kailan trabaho lang talaga ang iniisip ni Hans na'to.

"Oh god Daniel stop making things so hard for me." He yelled out of exasperation. "Do I need to beg? Because, I will." Hans was so persistent to make me go back to the city and attend a show one last time. So I could prepare myself for my show this month. "Look" hinawakan nito ako sa braso ko at pinaharap sa kaniya.

"After this show, ihahatid din naman kita and no, I won't tell Theo about this." I took a deep breath and gave up on his request.

Wala na akong magagawa, trabaho din naman kasi ito at labas naman sa usapan si Hans at ang trabaho ko bilang isang model sa relasyon ko.

"Wait here." Utos ko sa kaniya atsaka pumasok sa loob. Pumasok ako sa loob ng bahay atsaka naghanap ng damit na maisusuot.

"Ma, aalis muna ako." Pagpapahintulot ko kay Mama. "I need to attend a show today." I continued.

"Are you sure okay ka na?" Tanong ni Mama sa akin. Tumango lang ako kahit na alam kong nagpapagaling pa 'tong puso ko. But this is work, and I have responsibilities aside from being in a wrecked relationship which I shouldn't have been in the first place.

"Ma, work kasi." Singhap ko pa rito. She tapped my shoulder slowly and then hugged me.

"Ingat ka 'nak ha?" Paalala nito sa akin at niyakap ko din ito ng mahigpit.

"Ma naman, 'di naman ako mawawala. I'll be back tonight." I gave her a fainted smile and kissed her on her cheek.

"Ingat." She added and I went out of the house immediately. Ngumiti lamang ako sa kaniya at tiningnan ang tatlo kong kapatid na abala sa paglalaro.

"I'll be back!" Masaya kong sigaw sa kanila.

"Ingat kuya!" Sigaw naman ni Angeline at Roger sa akin.

I took a quick glance at them and smiled as I wave goodbye.
