Chapter 24

Parang baliw kong sinabunutan ang sarili ng muli kong maalala ang mga nangyari kanina. Kahit pa pilitin ko ang sarili kong kalimutan ang nagyari ay di ko talaga malimot. Gosh, I sounded so desperate, hindi naman ako naka-inom pero bakit ganon?

Ano nalang kaya ang iisipin ni Nic! At isa pa siya! He is on with the marriage stuff again! Akala ko ba tapos na! Na wala na! Dahil sinabi ko naman sa kaniyang di niya ako nabuntis!  Baka kasi guilty lang siya kaya siya nag-ayang magpakasal kami...

Marriage is not a joke. You should not marry someone because your guilty or because you just feel like it. There's a deeper meaning about marriage and it includes true love, trust, patience,  honesty, loyalty and more! And I just love him, but I don't trust him not to lie to me and that he will not to cheat on me, I don't even know him that much! We just met after how many years!

And not to mention that he didn't show any affection years ago before he left me hanging and broken! He alwyas ignores me! Halos di ako kausapin at tingnan tapos ngayon gusto niya akong pakasalan?! This is absurd!

My phone beeped and I immediately reach for it from my bedside table.

From: Nic
I'll pick you up, kezia.

We exchange digits back when we're at his mother's resort. I sigh and replied to his text.

To: Nic
Fine.

But I think I can't stop him though...

Bumuntong hininga ulit ako saka ko inilagay ang cellphone ko sa ibabaw ng  lamesa, pero bago pa ako makabalik sa kama ko ay nag-ring ang cellphone ko. Who would call me in the middle of the night? Impossibleng si Nic, he seems tired earlier, kaya tiyak na natutulog na iyon ngayon.

Confused. I answered my phone after Reading the Caller's name. It's unregistered.

"Yes? Who's this?"

Saglit pang natahimik ang nasa kabilang linya at bigla itong humagulhol. "A-anak..."

I frown, boses lalaki kasi. "Sorry, Sir, pero wrong number po kayo-"

"Kezia, anak..."

Bigla akong kinabahan. This caller... his voice... he knew my name and...

"S-sino tu?"

Suminghot ang nasa kabilang linya. "Ako ang papa mo. And I want to meet you, anak. Miss na miss ka na ni papa."

Napahawak ako sa aking dibdib. Hindi ako sumagot, my phone slid from my hand, dahilan ng paglahulog neto. I should be happy but why am I nervous? His voice is familiar yet I am not comfortable. I miss him but I don't want to meet him. Ano ba itong nararamdaman ko.

That phone call from someone who claimed he is my father, bothers me a lot. Mabuti nalang at wala namang nagreklamong pasahero, mabuti nalang at hindi gaanong naapektuhan ang trabaho ko. I got a signal to declare the farewell announcement, agad naman akong kumilos, I cleared my throat before speaking.

"We hope you have enjoyed the in-flight entertainment.  We are now preparing to land.  The bar is closed and we will soon collect your headset. May I remind you to complete your arrival and immigration documentation by the time we arrive."

And after a couple of minutes I speak again.

"Ladies & Gentlemen, now We're approaching Manila where the local time is 06:50.  At this stage you should be in your seat with your seatbelt firmly, fastened.  Personal television screens, footrests and seat tables must be stowed away and all hand luggage stored either in the overhead lockers or under the seat in front.  Please ensure all electronic devices including laptop computers and computer games are turned off. "
