Sa tuwing nakikita ko ang litrato ng ina ni Deyron sa mansion ay hindi ko mapigilan ang mapahinto at pagmasdan ang babae na nasa larawan. She is indeed beautiful and mesmerizing that’s why I don’t understand papa. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nagustuhan niya sa babaeng kinakatagpo niya ngayon. I may not met Deyron’s mom in personal but I know how kind she is as a person. And Deyron's mom is way more beautiful than her.

So this is the woman that dad is seeing?

Why?

The woman smiled sweetly at dad as she caress dad's cheek.

Napatiim-bagang ako habang pinapanuod sila. Nasa isang cafe sila and I wanted to laugh right now 'coz dad hate cafes. He don't like going in that kind of place. Kaya anong ginagawa niya ngayon sa isang cafe?

I can't believe what I'm seeing right now. All my childhood days I always thought that we are a happy family, a picture-perfect that everyone admires. But that picture crash and broke into a million pieces.

Dad looks surprised when he see me.

“Cassidy,” bakas pa din ang pagkabigla sa tono ni papa.

“Papa...”

“Not here, Cassidy.” umiling siya at hinila ako sa kung saan. Walang masiyadong tao sa pinagdalhan saakin ni papa. And I know why. He hates ruining his good reputation. And he'll do everything just for his reputation.

“Who is that woman?” I asked him.

“A friend.” he answered.

“A friend?” I asked sarcastically.”Alam mo ba kung paano mo ko pinalaki, papa? You raised me how not to ruin your reputation and not to put disgrace on our family specially on your name. But look at you now...going on some date like you're a teenager.” I said disgustingly.

Hindi siya umimik.

“Does she know? Of course she knows right? Alam niyang may pamilya ka? Impossibleng hindi. She's a home wrecker bitch! Nakakadiri! I can't believe this is happening! Did you even consider mom's feelings?” panunumbat ko sakanya.

“I'm trying...” napaiwas ng tingin si papa. “...to fix our family. I'm trying to get your mom back. But she won't let me.” umiling siya.

Natigilan ako sa sinabi niya. His voice is low and he almost whispered.

“Harah is a friend of us. When we we're in highschool. She's your mom's friend. She confessed that she always loved me since then. We've only met twice. Harah tried to kissed me and your mom saw that. I love your mom, Cassidy. I don't know how to make it up with her when she won't allow that to happen. Simula ng ikasal ako sa mama mo wala na akong ibang babaeng kinalokohan. Umikot ang buhay ko sa trabaho, sa mama mo at sa pamilya natin. Hindi ko 'man maiparamdam sakanya pero noong kinasal kami narealize ko na I've made the right decision. Marrying her is the right decision I've ever made in my whole life. She is my everything. She is perfect. At nanliliit ako sa tuwing maiisip ko iyon. Nahihiya ako tuwing makikita ko siya. Simula ng makilala niya ko wala siyang ibang ginawa kundi mahalin ako and I was an asshole for hurting her. I'm a jerk for not saying the truth and let her think the wrong way and misunderstand everything.”

“Papa...” shock of papa's revelation I can't even utter a word.

“I understand. You all think I'm a heartless man, right?” he chuckled. Basag ang boses.” But I love your mom, Cass. Please help me get her back. H-hindi ko kaya kapag iniwan niya ko. I'll die. Mamamatay ako kapag nawala kayo saakin.”

Papa is right buo na ang desisyon ni mama na iwan siya. Hindi ko alam kung may magagawa pa ba ko? Of course I can still do something!

“Sigurado ka bang darating siya?”kinakabahang tanong ni papa saakin na hindi mapakali sa kinauupuan.

I set up a date for them in a cafe. Madalas ikuwento saakin ni mama na sa isang cafe sila unang nagkakilala ni papa pero hindi iyon alam ni papa.

And this is the exact cafe she was talking about. Hindi ko sinabi na sila ni papa ang magdadate. I only told her I set up a date. Malamang inisip ni mama na ako ang kadate niya.

“Papa relax.” Bahagya akong natawa habang pinapanuod si papa na panay ang baling sa unahan ng café.”Siguradong darating si mama. Just relax.”paninigurado ko.

Lumingon si papa sa akin.“Okay. Thank you.”

Ilang minuto pa ay nakita ko na si mama. Sarado ang cafe at nirent ko ito for just the two of them. Sinuggest nga ni papa na bilhin na lang itong cafe sa sobrang niyerbyos niya kanina e. And I'd never seen papa like that before.

Pagkapasok ni mama kita ko agad ang pagtataka niya ng makitang walang mga ibang customer.

“Mama!” I called her.

“What's going on here, Cass? Bakit biglaan mo gustong magcafe?” nakangiting tanong ni mama.

“Remember this cafe, ma?” I asked her.

Nakita kong sumilay ang malapad na ngiti sa labi ni mama at agad na tumango.

“Of course how can I forget this?” balik tanong niya saakin.

“Yeah. But don't you think may kulang?”

“Kulang?” nalilitong tanong ni mama saakin.

“Yup...si papa.” I grinned at her.

Nanlaki ang mata niya ng huminto kami sa isang lamesa at sa harap niya ay si papa.

“J-Jaime?”gulat na bulalas ni mama.”Anong nangyayare, Cassidy?”baling saakin ni mama na nagtataka.

“Ma, please just this one. For the last time have a date with papa.”

Matagal bago sumagot si mama.”Okay.”bumuntong hininga si mama.F-For the last time.”

Tumango ako at nagthumbs up.

This night is for them I'd make sure of that.

Nagpaalam na ko na uuwi na. Kita ko pa ang parehas nilang pagtutol kaya hindi ko mapigilan ang matawa.

“Come on ma...pa what are you? A teenager?” biro ko sakanila.

Bahagya silang natawa parehas bago napailing.

“Pa, you should tell mama what you told me earlier.” I said to papa. Tumango naman ito.

“And, mama...” I smiled at her.”...papa he always cares for us.”

Nang makauwe ako sa bahay ay wala pa si Deyron. Uuwi kaya siya? What am I thinking? Malamang uuwi siya dito siya nakatira e. Napailing ako at nagtungo sa shower. I stayed there for a half an hour.

Paglabas ko ng CR ay bigla akong natalisod at tumama ang ulo ko sa may upuan.

OUCH!

Hinimas-himas ko ang parte ng ulo ko na tumama sa sahig.

“WHAT THE FUCK!”

Gulat akong napalingon sa pinto ng marinig ang boses ni Deyron.

“De---“

“What happened?”natatarantang tanong niya at agad akong dinaluhan tsaka sinuri ang ulo ko na tumama sa upuan.

“Your head is bleeding!”deklara niya.

“H-Huh?” napatingin ako sa kamay ko at nakita kong may dugo iyon.

Shit!

Bigla akong nakaramdam ng pagkahilo at biglang nagdilim ang paningin ko.
