CHAPTER 2




HECTOR FELIPE



I'm on a plane going to the Philippines. I am feeling nervous and uneasy. Yesterday I received a call from my mother's most trusted assistant telling me that Mama is really sick. Hindi lang daw nagsasabi ang nanay namin dahil ayaw na mag-alala kami. Kaya pala lately panay ang pauwi sa akin.



We've lost Papa just last year and I cannot afford to lose another one. Kaya kahit hindi ako comfortable na umuwi ay kaagad akong nag book ng ticket. I quickly packed all the essentials , kaunti lang ang dalahin ko kasi nagmamadali na ako. Hindi ako papayag, my mother has to fight and she'll live longer. Hindi man siya sa akin magkaka-apo at least kay Henri at Amar for sure magkakaroon siya.



The next day we landed on NAIA1. As soon as I reached the airport I called Henri, ring lang ng ring ang phone niya. I told him yesterday na pauwi na ako, so I expect him to be here para masundo ako. After dialing for the Nth time, he finally picked up the call. I was about to scold him when a lady's voice filled my ears.



" Hello, Kuya Hector? Si Amar po ito. Nandito na po ako sa arrival. "  Seriously? Girlfriend na rin ang may hawak ng phone. Wow.



" Okay Amar, I'll see you there. "  I walked out of the arrival area and then I looked around for a familiar face. Iyong pagmumukha ni Henri Damian.



" Kuya Hector "  I heard someone calling me so I looked on my right side. There I found a lady wearing jeans , a plain black shirt, and sporty shoes. Si Amar ba'to? D^mn she's fine! Hindi ko naman kasi ito nakakasama talaga, hindi ako pala check ng socmed dahil bitter ako sa mundo at huli ko sila nakasama last year ay wake pa ni Papa.  " Kuya, Ako ang sundo mo, wala si Eri. "

Why did it sound so wrong when she called me Kuya?   " Hex na lang. "  She smiled , and boy what a wonderful sight.  Kaagad kong sinaway ang aking sarili. Hector Felipe, huwag malandi.



" Ayy Kuya Hex pala. "  Gusto kong mapa-facepalm. Hex nga naman kasi.  " Tara na, nandoon iyong car ko. "


I let her take the lead. She was walking before me and I could see her fine round a$s. No wonder Henri and her lasted for so long as a couple. College pa lang ay sila na. Pero noong una ko siyang nakita ay hindi pa siya tinatamaan ng puberty.



She went near a Chevrolet Silverado pickup, so I assume that's her car. Astig! She opened the back part so I could arrange mg luggages in there. Hindi ko maiwasan na ma-amaze sa kaniya. Babae siya yet she preferred to drive a big car like this.



"Kuya Hex, anywhere in particular na gusto mo kumain? Gutom ka na for sure."  She asked me while on the road.



" I said Hex lang. Walang Kuya. "  Napalingon siya sa akin and then she has this 'really?' look on her face.
