Chapter 22: Just one song

"Overcoming the anger, depression, or guilt is the first thing single moms have to attend to before they can be effective at parenting."

***

Nakakatawang isipin na nabubuhay tayo sa generation na sobrang ayos lang sa isang lalake o babae na tratuhin ka nang masama and that it's translated into love, so you have to take them back.

Katulad nalang ng Disney Princesses. They're what almost every little girl wants to be and they show us that without a prince to change us, we can't achieve anything. Parang si Belle, she's the prime example. Matalino siya, independent pero na-in love pa rin siya sa isang prinsipe who essentially kidnapped her and treated her like a complete crap, still she thinks it's perfectly okay and that he's just misunderstood.

I guess that's just the feminist side of me coming out but our society was so completely warped by this way of thinking and it was annoying.

I was awoken abruptly from my reverie when I felt Amiel's arms snaked around my waist.

"Chesca, you're smoking again." He breathed in my ears.

Hindi ko alam kung dahil sa lamig lang ng panahon kaya tumaas balahibo ko o dahil sa posisyon namin ngayon at sa pagtama ng hininga siya sa leeg ko, I really don't know.

Andito ko ngayon sa veranda sa may second floor, pinapakalma ang sarili ko. The kids are sleeping and Amiel's still here.

Huminga ako ng malalim at hinawakan ang kamay niyang nakapalupot sa'kin, kahit naka silk na robe ako ramdam ko pa rin ang lamig ng Baguio pero with him at my back, hugging me close to his body, I could already feel the warmth surging through me.

"I just need to smoke, pang una ko pa lang ito don't worry." Sabi ko saka ko tinapon yung yosi sa ashtray.

Pag stressed talaga ko hindi ko pa rin mapigilan manigarilyo. Old habits die hard nga siguro, but I make sure naman na hindi ako nakikita nung tatlo kapag nag sisigarilyo ako.

"You looked bothered kanina pa sa dinner, you were spacing out." Napahinga ako ng malalim, paano ko ba sasabihin sakanya yung mga nangyare kanina sa labas with Roland?

Naramdaman niya siguro na hindi pa rin ako mapalagay, he put his head above my left shoulder.

Next thing I know, mas kumalma na yung katawan ko. Amiel has this effect on me, kalmado talaga ko kapag katabi ko siya o kapag yakap niya ko.

He's the sweetest, alam na alam niya yung epekto niya sa'kin. I know he's doing this on purpose.

"What did that dbag tell you?" Mahinahon niyang tanong.

Hindi ako kaagad nakasagot sa tanong niya, iniisip ko pa kasi kung sasabihin ko ba o hindi.

Well, he's my best friend after all.

"He wanted me to admit that the triplets are his." I stated.

Mas humigpit yung yakap niya sa bewang ko at bumuntong hininga siya.
