Excerpt

Eris

Sumakay ako ng taxi nang makalabas sa airport. Halos kakalapag pa lang ng eroplanong sinakyan ko at agad na akong dumiretso sa address na binigay ng isang kakilala.

        Natutulala ako habang nakatingin sa labas ng bintana ng sasakyan. My mind was filled with thoughts. Nagising lang ako sa malalim na pag-iisip nang magsalita ang driver na nakarating na raw kami.

        Bumaba ako sa sinakyang taxi na agad humarurot paalis. Naiwan akong mag-isang nakatayo doon sa harap ng bahay na nakabukas ang maliit na gate, as if inviting everyone to come in, dahil sa nangyayaring party sa loob.

        My heart was pounding. Mula sa labas ay maririnig ang ingay ng kasiyahan sa loob. May nagsasalita sa mic and then people started singing the usual birthday song. Unti-unti akong humakbang papasok.

        Huminto ako at nag-angat ng tingin. My lips parted at what I was seeing. Agad nagbadya ang luha sa sulok ng aking mga mata. Parang sa isang iglap ay nawasak ang mundo ko. My heart hurt so much. Para akong sinasakal sa nakikita.

        It's Axel, my husband and the father of my child, happily carrying a kid in his arms urging him to blow the birthday candle in front of them. Lumipat ang nanlalabo kong mga mata sa babaeng nasa tabi niya. Lalong bumuhos ang mga luha ko.

        "Selena..." mahina kong sambit sa pangalan ng matalik kong kaibigan.
