It's Complicated

Nothing's Change

"I thought last time was the last?" He sighed.

"I'm so sorry Dad." I sadly said.

"It's alright Baby, but are you hurt?"

"No Daddy," I hugged him, "I'm sorry,"

Pinagharap harap kaming mga nag away kanina.

Na gulat ako kasi parang ang bilis naman ata nila humingi ng tawad.

Tapos umalis na sila, lumingon pa ako sa isang lalaki. Kinindatan nya ako.

..

"Dad?"

"Yes sweetheart?"

"I know you're mad,"

"No baby, I'm just, just disappointed. I know its you're birthday and you have to celebrate it."

"Bu---"

He held up his hand.

"And I know you're in the right age, pero hindi pa rin tama na mag paka lasing ka ng todo."

I sighed.

"If you have a clear mind that time, may possibility na napigilan mo yung kaibigan mo. Am I right?"

"Yes."

Totoo naman, sinasabi nya eh. Kasi kanina I mean kahapon, ako yung tumitingin sa kanila.

Okay okay pa sila Sheena nun, kaso sabay sabay naman kami nalasing.

"What do you want me to do Dad?"

He sighed.

"You're grounded."

"What? Ano ba ako? teen ager?" I exclaimed

"Just stay in the house, don't leave unless i give you permission."

"If that's the way you'd forgive me."

..

2weeks later.

"Hey Baby!"

"Hi Dad! How's London?"

"Its great."

Anong meron? Bakit parang hindi sya mapakali?

"Are you okay Dad?"

"Uh, Yes ofcourse!"

"Bakit parang hindi ka mapakali?"

"I---"

"Hmh? What is it?"

"I want you to meet someone."

I knit my brows.

"Who?"

Then may biglang lumapit sa amin.

She's familiar.

Tinaasan ko ng kilay si Dad.

"Well?" I urge.

"Uhm, this is Sherryl."

"And?" Ay ang tagal! Alam ko na rin naman kung san to mauuwi.

"She's my girlfriend."

"Ow, okay." I nod.

"Hi, you're Rhian?"

May pag ka tanga pala sya.

"Uhm No." I rolled my eyes.

"Rhi!"

"Sorry, isn't it obvious?"

Tumango lang yung babae.

Honestly, mukha syang madilta. Kamukha nya yung kontrabida sa Buena Familia.
