Chapter 40.

Date

I'm having a heart attack.

Okay. I'm overreacting. Maybe a mini heart attack.

Napakagat na lamang ako ng labi habang tinititigan ang mga gamit ko sa banyo ni Miguel. I was trying not to overthink dahil wala iyong magandang naidudulot sa'kin-so far. When Miguel left for work, nagmamadali akong nagshower at nagbihis. I didn't have time to think things over because, well, Miguel told me not to, his right words were, "stop overthinking this, alam kong gagawin mo 'yon pagkaalis ko rito that's why im having second thoughts kung aalis ba ako because I fear you'd do that"

You let him decide, remember? He wants you.

I, of course, did not agree of him not going to work. First, his big empire needs its emperor. Second, hindi yata magandang tignan na pareho kaming wala sa kumpanya ng dalawang araw lalo pa't si Miguel ang sumundo sa'kin sa bar(I tried not to overthink that too, I just wish they're too drunk to notice).

Lastly, I need a little bit of time to be alone para magsink in sa akin lahat ng nangyayari and I swear I won't overthink.

So pagkaalis ko ng apartment ni Miguel, na apparently ay nasa isang kilalang high-end real estate na sa pagkakaalam ko'y doble pa sa presyo ng sa'kin, I find myself buying an outfit (and maybe some lingerie) and a new set of toiletries. Then I went to my apartment, packed a few clothes in a small bag, laptop and went back to Miguel's.

I keep convincing myself that im not moving in with Miguel that's why I only packed a few clothes and bought a new set of toiletries, or at least I was telling myself that. Moving in means permanent. I can't do that nang hindi pa naipapakilala ang mag-ama.

I decided to introduce them to each other the day of the basketball game. Pagkabalik na pagkabalik ko sa apartment ni Miguel ay iyon agad ang unang-una kong inatupag. Kailangan ko munang dahan-dahanin si Alex, it will shock him of course, it may anger him too but I'll try to prevent that. I bought three tickets. I just hope na magtagumpay ang plano ko.

Was it my smartest idea?

No.

But part of me thinks that doing it in public would keep Miguel from doing something stupid out of anger like slapping me. Coward.

Damn, huwag lang sanang mangyari iyon sa harap ng anak ko. I didn't want Alex to think any less of Miguel.

This is so achingly familiar.

And it was. Looking at my yellow toothbrush next to Miguel's blue one, my shaving gel next to his after shave and my shampoo next to his, I could vividly remember how we were before. Parang kahapon lang, lalo pa't halos hindi nagbago ang iba sa mga ginagamit niya.

Napaigtad ako ng marinig ko ang dalawang sunod na katok sa pinto ng kwarto. "Ma'am Rein?" It was Eddard. I finally met him nang bumalik ako. May edad na ang lalaki at may mga ilang puting hibla na sa mahaba niyang buhok. Sa unang tingin ay mukha itong masungit.

Lumabas ako ng banyo at lumapit. "Yes?" I shouted.

"Uh, nasa living area na po si Miguel. Pinapasabi niya po na aalis na kayo" ani ni Eddard.

I was disappointed na hindi man lang nagawa ni MIguel na pumasok sa kwarto at sabihin sa'kin ng personal. But part of me shivered with excitement at the thought of Miguel waiting for me just a door away.
