CHAPTER 44

DOORBELL

Tiffany's POV

"Law has feelings too, Tiff. Sooner or later, you'll lose him." Umiiling na tumayo si Awi mula sa pagkakaupo niya sa sofa. She looked really upset and I can't blame her. Maski ako ay galit na sa sarili ko.

I told Law things I never thought I'd say to him. Nangako ako sa kanyang hindi ko na siya iiwanan pero ito na naman ako, inuulit ang mga ginawa ko noon. Kinailangan kong magsabi ng kung ano ano upang lumayo na siya. I can't endure being with Gael if Law's around. Tuwing nakikita ko kasi siya ay nalilimutan ko ang nararapat at nanghihina ako. Araw araw ay gusto ko na lang tumakbo papunta sa kanya.

"I am tired of watching you act like a b*tch. Do you honestly think we'd believe that you like Gael? Alam naming hindi mo na siya mahal pero hindi namin maintindihan kung bakit pinagpipilitan mo pa ring makasama siya. Tiff, I'm still here. Law's here for you too. At ang mga kaibigan mo sa Serenaville, handa ring tulungan ka pero bakit ni isa sa amin, ayaw mong lapitan?"

Her voice broke and she got teary eyed.

"How come you can't see that you're not alone in this world? Nawala man si Abuela, pero nandito pa rin kami para sa'yo. We care about you, but you're pushing us away. 'Wag mong hintayin na dumating ang araw na lahat kami ay mapagod at iwan ka."

Umakyat na siya sa taas at pagalit na sinarado ang pintuan ng kwarto niya. Napapikit na lang ako at pinigilan ang sarili kong puntahan siya.

There's no point of explaining what I'm going through. I can already hear what she's going to say. She will only tell me that I'm being unreasonable for following Abuela's words. She wouldn't understand me. No one will.

I went out to the porch to get some air. I feel suffocated at my own home. Tuwing nasa loob ako ay naaalala ko si Lola. Each corner of that house reminds me of her...

"Ma'am?" I cocked my head to the side when a few of our farmers approached me. "Pwede ka po bang maabala?" tanong ng isa sa kanila.

"Sure Manong. Ano po 'yon?"

Nagkasalubong ang mga kilay niya na tila nagdadalawang isip pa siyang kausapin ako. I smiled to let him know it's okay.

"Ano pong maitutulong ko sa inyo?" I repeated my question.

The other guy took the lead. "Itatanong lang ho sana namin kung tinanggal niyo po ba sa trabaho sila Gael?"

I was taken aback by his question. Tumayo ako at lumapit sa kanila. "I didn't. Why?"

They all frowned even more. "Ilang araw na po kasi silang hindi pumapasok dito sa Hacienda. Nahihirapan na po kami lalo na sa deliveries dahil sa kanila nakatoka iyon. Pinaghahati-hatian na lang po namin ang trabaho para walang maging problema, pero napagdesisyonan na po naming ipaalam na sa inyong nabibigatan na po kami sa mga gawain."

I can't believe Gael, Tonton and Luis would leave just like that.

I told Gael to give me time to find his replacement. It's not like I'll force him to work if he doesn't want to, but he shouldn't have dropped his chores without informing me. Dinamay niya pa ang mga kaibigan niya.
