"R-really?" Parang napako na naman si Lenard sa kinatatayuan. Lahat ng gusto niyang sabihin all becomes muddled soup in his head. "Are you sure?"
"Alam ko may sasabihin ka. Kaya ka nandito." Ani Sonny habang hinihila si Lenard palabas. "Pero naunahan ako ni tita Mindy mo eh. Kaya uunahan na rin muna kita. Since, I can't deny it now." Natatawang sabi ni Sonny as he pushed his son towards the divan near the pool outside.
"Are you really sure?!" Ulit na tanong ni Lenard.
"Of course we are." Natatawang sagot ni Sonny at binabaan pa muli ang boses as if embarrassed. "Ako pa nga yata ang nakapansin noong una. Akala ko ayaw lang sabihin ng tita Mindy mo sa'kin. 'Yun pala, she really has no clue! Kung hindi ko pa kinonfront, hindi pa bibili ng pregnancy kit. Eh alam mo naman bago na lang ulit sa'kin 'yung mga ganito. Sobrang tagal na when you were conceived."
"Dad! How did this happen?" Hindi na pinansin ni Lenard ang mga ibang sinabi ni Sonny. "Paano?
"Anong paano? We're living together, of course this is bound to happen. Ikaw millennial dito, I thought you could've been more open-minded."
"No dad. Hindi naman 'yun ang ibig kong sabihin. What I really meant was..." Bumuntonghininga si Lenard. "Alam mo naman me and her daughter's past right?"
"Can you keep your voice down?" Kinakabahang sagot ng ama ni Lenard. "I know that. That's why I'm convincing Mia to come clean now."
"What?! Alam na ba 'to ni Miala? Kelan pa?"
"I told her a couple of days ago. When I was convincing her that we should tell Mindy about everything..."
Lenard couldn't even think properly. Ang alam niya lang, parang gusto niyang lunukin lahat ng gusto niyang sabihin. Bago siya matapos kumain kanina, he was sure. He was already sure he's gonna tell his dad everything about Miala.
But the situation with Miala's mom changes everything! And it will change anything that's bound to happen in the future.
Matagal siyang nag-isip. He weighed everything that is bound to happen. Pero masyadong malabo ang utak niya. Alam niyang mali siya magdesisyon. And in fact, he has made all the wrong decisions in his life that lead up to this point. Maging passive man siya, or even if he tries to make and stand by a decision, palaging mali. Wala man lang yatang naging tama. So what's in front if him now is like a damn if you do, damn if you don't kind of moment.
"Anak? Lenard?"
"P-po?"
"Ano nga palang sasabihin mo?"
He looked into his father's eyes. Hoping that Sonny can sense at least the bit of his struggles. Pero siya rin ang hindi nakatagal. He found himself running outside the house. Ni hindi man lang niya nagawang sumakay sa kotse niya.
