Clara's POV:
So that bonding that happened earlier was really awkward and weirdly fun. There are chances that the two—Young Soo and Sakura will have that 6th grade crush scenery where they stole glances and some awkward small jokes. The usual. But I still can't shake the feeling you'know?
So here am I, I decided to walk home all by myself and yes I've been walking for a while since the mall where I was recently were quite far from my house but anyways, I just can't stop thinking about that weird 'someone is watching you' chills. I mean who would've done that.
I still fumbled on my thoughts and didn't notice that I was a few blocks away from my place and I notice some loud arguing coming from the direction where my house is. So I picked up the pace and saw a man. Maybe he's in his mid-50's with lanky features, a fadaed jacket and some faded pants and he's in the middle of somewhat explaining of something to my sister.
“Talitha, makinig ka naman—” he managed to say.
(Talitha, listen to me—)
“At bakit naman? Matapos mong mawala ng parang bula babalik-balik ka?” My sister said with venom on her words.
(Why would I? After you disappeared without a trace you cameback just like that?)
I walked towards them and said,“Ate, ano ba 'to? Bakit ang aga-aga nag susumigaw ka dyan? Umm... Kuya, kabayan, sorry sa ate ko po ah bad mood po siguro.”
The man looked at me with wet and relieved eyes. He stared at me with mixed emotions visible in him. He grabbed me and hugged me. I am really shocked and confused. I mean do I even know this guy? I chuckled awkwardly and patted his back.
“Umm... S-sige. Uhh...” I managed to stutter.
(T/n: o-okay)
He pulled away and looked at me with expectant eyes. His weary and brown eyes looked at me like we are very close familiarly.
“Hindi, mo ba ako natatandaan?” he asked while holding both of my shoulders in his calloused and deeply tanned hands.
(T/N: Don't you remember me?)
“Uhh... Hindi po eh sorry.” I shook my head and smiled nervously.
(T/N: Sorry but no.)
“Clara, Tara na dito sa loob! 'Wag mong kausapin yan.” Talitha said with a raised voice.
(T/N: Go inside Clara! Don't talk with that man.)
“Umm... Pasensya na po, manong... Pero dapat siguro umalis na po kayo kase parang bad trip talaga sa inyo si ate.”
(T/N: I'm sorry mister. But I think you should go now too, my sister seems very pissed about something.)
“CLARA!” She called with a raised and impatient tone.
“Opo Ate!” I replied to her and went inside the house.
(T/N: Yes, sister)
Once I completely came inside she slammed the door at her back. She left herself outside with that strange guy. What's up with that? I decided to put my ear to the door and listen on what they're talking about.
“Ayokong nakikita ka dito pakiusap lang po. Kahit ngayon lang. Gumawa ka ng desisyon na ikatutuwa namin.” she said towards the man.
“Pero, nak... Ang daming hirap ang dinaanan ko para lang makita kayo ulit. Makinig ka naman sa tatay,Talitha.. Ilang taon akong nangulila sa inyo ni Clara! Hinanap ko kayo kung alam mo lang!” The man said with a shaky voice.
Nak?...
I'm so confused what is he saying? What do they mean? Ano?
I removed my ear from the door and took a few steps back.
I-I'm speechless. I don't know what to say... I'm completely lost.
My sister opened the door and slammed it again after she let herself inside.
“Ate, ano yun? Sino yun? Bakit tinawag ka niyang anak? Tyaka bakit kilala ka niya ” I asked.
She let out a sigh and managed a weary smile then replied,“Wala yun... Wag mo nang intindihin yun.”
“Uh, sige. Sabi mo eh.” I said with a furrowed and unconvinced expression.
“Sorry nasigawan kita. Mainit lang talaga ulo ko ngayon.” she said towards me.
“Ah, wala yun 'te. Alam kong stressed ka lang. Ah, 'te kila Carina ako matutulog mamaya.”
“Oh? Sige ingat ka ah. Pag may umaaligid tadyakan mo agad ah. Isa pa, siguraduhin mo lang na si Carina ah hindi yung kapatid niya. Kilala kita Rara, marupok ka pa namang bata ka.” she joked, instantly changing her expression.
“Luh, si ate issue oh.”I laughed and then went to my bedroom. I went upstairs and closed the door behind me. I'm confused and I need Carina to help me out since she's my bestfriend.
I popped out my phone and dialed her number up.
“Hey, Clara whattup?” She answered.
“Rina, can I crash at your place tonight?” I said while removing my shoes.
“Oh. Yeah sure.” Carina replied with a happy tone.
“I'm sorry to come in such short notice.” I apologized while packing my things for the night.
“Aww, don't mention it. So... I'll pick you up at half past 8:00, okay?” she chuckled from the other line.
“Okay. Thanks again.”
“Ah Va bene. No problem, oh Talk to you later, Ciao!” Carina said before hanging up.
Geez... I need a break. I mean drama was following me.
“Argh! Putragis”
Kasi talagang nakaka-stress. Kase isipin mo andito lang ako para mag-aral tas andami na agad ganap I mean hello??
But anyways I just can't get over that weird old guy from earlier.
I mean why is my sister so mad at that seemingly good old man? Why is that man calling me anak? What does he need from me and my sister.
What the hell is going on really? Can this be more complicated than it seems? Can it be that the guy is my... No... Mom said he died. That can't be right, right?
