I wish I am just dreaming. I also got to slap my face, just to check whether I am just hallucinating, but it turned out wrong. What Ford had shown me was real. If that’s the case, I only think one person who could give me the exact answer I need. It’s his mom. I only need to know their address so I could get the answer at hand. I have to move fast, otherwise he would not be remembering me anymore.

INAGAHAN ko talaga ang paggising ngayong umaga para maabutan ko si dad. Maaga rin kasi siyang umaalis dahil nga sa isa siyang teacher sa school kung saan ako nag-high school noon.
Luckily, nakasabayan ko siyang mag-almusal today. Since close friend naman sila ni Tita Aryan kaya baka may alam siya kung saan dito nakatira sina Ford.
After I get my foods, I conditioned myself, and checkeed the atmosphere I could start my asking him. I think, this is the perfect time para magtanong. I cleared my throat first, before proceeding.
“Dad, nakabalik na pala sina Tita Aryan no? Sa’n na sila nakatira ngayon?”
Kumunot-noo si dad habang nagsasalin ng kanin sa kaniyang plato. It seems like he has no idea about it.
“Really? How did you say so?”
“Kagabi bago ako umuwi, dumaan ako ron sa palagi naming pinuntahan ni Ford nong araw, and I saw him”
I answered which made him thinked. Maybe he has no idea that Tita Aryan was finally home.
“Mabe you’re just hallucinating. Baka nami-miss mo lang siya kaya nakikita mo siya sa ibang tao”
Imposible namang nagha-hallucinate lang ako. Mukha at boses ni Ford ang nakita’t narinig ko. And besides, Mikee was also there. What a coincidence naman kung hindi ‘yun si Ford.
“Dad it was not just hallucination! It was real. Nakausap ko siya mismo kagabi at kasama niya si Mikee”
Kumuha na rin siya ng ulam at nagsimula nang kumain habang mukhang napapaisip siya sa sinabi ko.
“Well, I can’t give you the answer you want to hear from me. Maski na ako, hindi ko rin alam kung nakauwi na ba sila o hindi pa. Simula nang mangyari ang gun shooting incident 10 years ago, wala na akong balita tungkol sa kanila. Maybe Aryan is still putting the blame on me dahil sa pagkakabaril kay Ford. Well, ako nga naman kasi ang may kasalanan kasi sinama ko pa si Ford”
Mukhang mali ata na nagtanong pa ako kay dad. Iniisip niya na sinisisi siya ni Tita Aryan sa pagkakabaril kay Ford. Well, kung iisipin, baka nga ganon ang nangyayari kung bakit niya pinaalam na saamin kung ano ang totoong kalagayan ni Ford. At ngayon na nakauwi na pala siya, wala pa rin kaming kaalam-alam.
Iniba ko nalang ang usapan, baka kasi lalong malungkot si dad kung patuloy lang naming pag-usapan ang tungkol don. At baka maungkat nanaman ang tungkol sa biological father ko na nakapiit sa kulungan.
Agad na naming tinapos ang pag-aalmusal dahil kinakailangan na rin ni dad na pumasok ng school. And since I don’t have an important matter to do, nor a schedule in the hospital where I am working at, I could use this free time to have my own investigation about Ford’s whereabouts and where does he live.
I also got a private investor to make this searching operation much easier for me. I give him a folder containing Ford’s personal information that could help him find Ford as soon as possible.
After our small talk, I choose to stay so I could think what happened last night. I just can’t believe that it is happening. I still don’t have an idea whether Ford is just having fun of me, or it is really for real.
