"What?"
"Listen, I'm sorry but I have a flight."
Napatigil ako saka ako tahimik na bumuntong hininga.
"Trent you listen, it's the only opportunity we have so that I can introduce you to them." hugh. Just why.
Mahaba ang pasensya kong tiningnan sya na mabilis namang kinuha ang kamay ko.
"I'm sorry, if you want I can go there after my flight maybe after two days. I'll come for you." he smiled with his angelic face at sino ba naman ako para hindi madala ng gwapo nyang mukha.
"Make sure you'll come or else Avi may not really accept you anymore." I joked at mabilis naman syang umayos ng upo nya upon hearing my son's name.
"Baby, you know what. It looks like I can't really get along with him, i don't know what to do anymore." seryosong sabi nya so I sigh at ako naman ang kumuha sa kamay nya ngayon.
"Are you giving up already? If you're giving up with him it's as if you've already given up to his twin too. You know, Mari." I said while fidgeting his fingers.
"That's another one. I don't even know if she will accept me or like Avi who won't either. It looks like they actually got your ex-wife's stubbornness." dahan-dahan nyang binitawan ang kamay ko.
Parang stress na stress na sya kay Avi kaya natatakot sya na baka pati si Mari hindi sya tanggapin.
"Yeah I think so too." mahinang sagot ko. Kasi naman totoo naman talagang nakuha nila kay Abby yung pagiging matigas ang ulo, probinsyanang basag ulo.
"And another thing, how's the annulment paper? Can I marry you already?" he asked with a goofy smiled at hindi ko naman mapigilan na pabirong hampasin sya.
"That's the other reason why I want you to come with me. I just need to sign it then we're done." hindi ko alam kung bakit pero may parte pa din sa puso ko ang sumasakit sa tuwing iniisip kong tuluyan na kaming maghihiwalay ni Abby.
Siguro dahil kala Avi and Mari? Kung ano mang dahilan sure akong hindi 'yon tungkol sa nararamdaman ko kay Abby dahil sigurado ako, sigurado akong wala na kong nararamdaman sa kanya.
"Okay, then it's set. I'll go there after two or maybe three days but I promise, i'll follow." he smiled.
Medyo alanganing ngiti naman ang sinukli ko bago ko maalala yung laro ni Avi.
"Oh, muntik ko ng makalimutan may laro si Avi ngayon. Will you go with me and cheer for him? Baka kapag nakita ka nya don unti-unti nyang marealize na—
"Babe wait, I told you I only have 5% of Filipino blood. You're talking to fast I didn't even understand what you just said." he said and cuts me off.
Ang tanga ko din naman sa part na 'yon, nakakaintindi naman sya ng tagalog pero konti lang.
"I'm sorry, but what I'm saying is would you like to come with me and watch Avi's game?" tanong ko. Pag ito tumanggi pa pepektusan ko adams apple nito.
"Ahm.. Lucas is already waiting for me Babe, I'm sorry." mahigpit nyang hinawakan ang kamay ko pero dahan-dahan kong binawi sa kanya 'yon. Suyuin nya ko, one week ganon. Quality time pa naman ang love language ko.
"Oh. Oo nga pala. Okay then, I gotta go now my son is waiting for me." mabilis kong kinuha ang bag ko at iniwan sya don na tinawag pa ko ng ilang beses pero di ko na nilingon.
