Stuck In My Rainbow Identity

Chapter 21

"Uh? Really? You're Reya's son! The Gay that everyone's talking about!" Natatawang sabi ng Mommy ni Tony, I gave her a meaningful look at bahagyang napakunot ng noo.

"Excuse me?" I asked her but She just wave her hands.

"No hijo, it's okay. I heard a lot about you and they're right, it's really..." She said at sinuri ako mula ula hanggang paa, I can't help but to feel insecure and belittle.

"Mom." Maawtoridad na sabi ni Tony, ganito ang bagay na kinatatakutan ko.

Oo, mayroon ngang taong nagmamahal sa'kin pero paano kung katulad din ng mga magulang niya si Daddy? 'yong hindi ako tanggap at walang balak na tanggapin ako? Paano 'yon?

Ngayon palang ramdam na ramdam ko na 'yong sakit, tagos hanggang buto.

"Okay, okay." She stop laughing at seryosong humarap sa'kin, "So, Mr. Abing. Can you design Elisha's wedding gown?" She asked, Napatingin ako kay Tony na ngayon ay nakayuko habang si Elisha naman ay nakangiti at tila nang-aasar.

Ano bang kagaguhan 'to? Parang kanina lang halos magmukbang kami ng isa't isa ni Tony tapos ngayon sasabihin nila na ako ang magdesign ng gown ng fiancée niya?

Sandali nga! Nakakaloka.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am but I just got the position and I'm still working in my designs." I explained at mabilis akong nakarinig ng halinghing.

"I think you wouldn't get that position if you doesn't have knowledge and skills about designing, am I right? In addition, that's what I'm talking about! You're going to design my wedding gown, it's your first design! So, I think you'll do your best?" Mapang-asar niyang tanong

She's right, I have knowledge and skills about gowns pero sinong tanga ang papayag na magdesign ng gown para sa fiancée ng taong mahal niya?

Ako? No, I'm not that stupid.

"Excuse me..."

Lakas loob kong sabi at mabilis na tumayo, I was about to walked away nang dismayadong tumayo si Elisha.

"Oh! You're not being professional here, Mr. Abing." Mapang-asar niyang sabi dahilan para umigting ang bagang ko, buong tapang ko siyang hinarap at tinaasan ng kilay.

"If being professional means crawling into your level then I'm sorry, but I won't do that and I will not design your wedding gown, Ms. Elisha." I explained but She slightly laughed

"Call me, Mrs. falcon. It's close enough..." Nakangiti niyang sabi na mas ikinakulo ng dugo ko.

"Excuse me..." I said at tuluyan nang naglakad paalis.

"Rans..."

"10 million."

Sabay na sabi ni Tony at Elisha, bakas sa boses ni Tony na nasasaktan siya pero ako? Paano naman ako? Nasasaktan din ako, harap harapan akong ginagago.

Hindi ko sila nilingon and I sighed, "I'm sorry, I need to go." Matigas kong sabi at wala sa sariling umalis.

Naka-alis ako sa Casa de falcon at nang makalabas sa malaking gate ay agad akong pumara ng taxi. Wala na akong pakialam kung anong suot ko, ang gusto ko lang ngayon makalayo sa kanila.

Shutangina, bakit naman ganoon?

Naramdaman ko ang pag vibrate ng phone ko kaya mabilis ko itong binuksan, his name shown up at kahit nanginginig ay buong lakas ko itong binuksan.
