Have Been In Love With The Superstar (COMPLETED)

53: Revelation

53: Revelation

After being like imprisoned in the university dorm, naka-uwi na rin ako. We're on a break kaya umuwi ako. Nakaka-miss din pala rito. Lalong lalo na ang filipino foods dahil hindi man lang ako nakakatikim ng lutong pinoy sa SU.

"So.. how's the new school? Got any better?"

Napalunok ako sa tinanong ni daddy.

"Yes.. it's okay there."

"That's good to hear about."

Medyo gumaan ang usapan habang kumakain kami ng hapunan dahil sa pagsingit ni Kuya. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit parang masyado atang seryoso ngayon ang aura ni daddy. Even mom are too quite that makes it heavy for me. Para siyang pusa na may pagka-misteryoso ang paningin. Parang nag-uusisa.

"They got a news that you joined a singing club in SU." Panimula ni Kuya ng pumasok siya sa kwarto ko ng wala man lang katok.

Medyo kinabahan na ako. I know that it could get to their ears about this thing but I really did not thought that this is coming.

"I just can't help it. It's my passion, Kuya." I said, defending.

"At least you should have told us."

"If I told you about that, will all of you agree to that? Of course not all! Pinapahinto niyo na nga ako di ba?"

"Edi sana nakinig ka nalang, Anna."

I was shocked on how he delivered his words. May halong sakit, galit, irita at pang-hihinayang sa kanyang boses.

"You should sleep now.." aniya sabay sarado ng pintuan.

Napatingin ako ng blanko sa may pintuan kung saan siya umalis. Ano ba yon? Ano ba ang problema nila sa pag-sali ko roon at sa pagkanta? Why so big deal?

Nagising ako kinabukasan ng medyo late na oras na. Ako nalang ang kumakain ngayon dahil tapos na siguro silang lahat. Ang tahimik ata ng bahay. Hindi ako sanay sa ganito o baka nasanay lang ako sa dorm na palaging marami ang nakikita ko.

Nadaanan ko iyong hallway papuntang mini office ni Daddy at kahit ilang metro pa ang layo ko ay nakakarinig na ako ng pagtatalo. Nandito pa rin ba sina mommy at daddy? Akala ko ba nasa opisina na sila? Ganon pa man, first time ko 'tong makarinig ng pagtatalo ng mga magulang ko.

Dahil sa kuryosidad, lumapit ako hanggang dumantay ang aking tainga sa wooden door ng opisina ni daddy sa bahay namin.

"You weren't a good partner to my sister so how could you be a good father to her daughter?!"

It was dad who exclaimed.

Wait. What are they talking about? Who he's talking to? Kinakabahan ako. Parang sasabog ang puso ko sa sobrang kaba. Ano ba ito?

"She came back to us after leaving us for you. She came with a child in her womb. She came back with pain and all sufferings because of you! So what are you expecting? That we'll give to you her daughter so easily?!"

Halatang-halata sa boses ni daddy na sobrang pagka-galit niya sa kausap.

"Gabriel.. I have told you already that I didn't know she has a child carrying in her womb. I really don't know. I even don't know that she flew half of the world just to get to me. I have no idea. I just got a news 15 years ago that my beloved Katherine has a child but unfortunately she died giving birth to our child. And since then, I've been searching for your family and for my daughter."

It's a man. A husky voice. An American accent. Now tell me, what is the fuck happening inside the room? What are they arguing about?

"That's irresponsible of you. You knew that something happened between you and Katherine but you still left after our father threatened you! So coward!"
