"Please. Don't. Show. Yourself. To. Me." I said. I was about to walk away when I heard he say.
"Too Late.." and that I leave him there and look for my daughter. Her Cart was already full.
"Desiree, baby? Let's go? You have a lots of toys already. I think that's enough right?" Nakangiting sabi ko. Tumango naman siya at ngumiti.
"Okay Mommy," sabi niya at pumunta na kami sa cashier.
Kaming tatlo lang ang nandito at nandun lang si Kuya Rod at Francheska sa condo dahil may aasikasuhin pa daw siya. I turned my gaze to the place where I interact with Sky.
He really changed..
***
That was the second time that we saw each other in San Franscico. Hindi ko alam kung sadya ba yun o talagang sinusundan niya talaga ako? Hindi ko nga alam kung alam na ba niya na may anak ako. Baka iniisip niya na may asawa na rin ako?
And what's the problem with that Trixie?
Habang nakaupo ako dito sa sofa ay biglang tumawag si Drake. He's my bestfriend here in San Franscico he was my co-model. Everyone said that were a thing but little day know he already had a girlfriend, Monica.
"Hey Drake," I said as I answer the call.
"Hey, Nasan ka?" Alam niya ring magtagalog, he raised in philippines.
"Nasa condo, bakit?" Takang tanong ko.
"I need you.." sabi niya.
"Why?"
"I need to see my girl, I missed her so much.." sabi niya. Napairap na naman ako. Yeah right! Panakip butas it is but I don't have a problem with that. I love them both anyway.
"Yeaah, fine. Where are you?" Sabi ko habang napabuntong hininga. Desiree call him Papa because that was Drake said to her. Monica wasn't mad about it anyway before she came we already bestfriend. And Monica is nice by the way.
Nagpaalam lang ako saglit at sinabing pupuntahan ko lang ang papa drake niya. She agreed about what I said that's why I automatically go to the basement and find my lambo.
I didn't care about the media anymore, they already saw me with Drake a lot of times. He was my partner in a commercial and in a Fashion week in Abu Dhabi. Pagkarating ko sa labas ng condominium niya ay nakita ko na siya na naka jeans at simpleng black shirt with a shades wearing his favorite tassel shoes.
Kaagad niyang binuksan ang shotgun seat with her boquet of roses. As usual napatingin na naman sa amin ang mga tao. Akala nila sakin ibibigay ni Drake ang flowers na 'yan but they got it wrong. Alam na ng tao ang sasakyan ko dahil limited edition naman 'to.
"Oh? Sinasama mo pa ako sa kalandian mo ha!" I joked while I drive to Monica's condo.
"Sorry Anne, I just want to see my baby right now." He said while pouting. Napairap naman ako sa sinabi niya. Yuck! Cringe.
"Ew, don't do it again. It's disgusting," maarteng sabi ko habang nagda-drive.
"Hoy! Grabe ka ha! Porke't niloko ka lang ng ex mo." Sabi niya and I glared at him. He knows everything back in philippines. I told him everything.
"Shut the fuck up Drake.." sabi ko at tumahimik na baka saan pa mapunta ang pag-uusap namin.
For the past ten years, I don't want to hear about him. Hindi ko kayang marinig ang pangalan niya dahil nagdudulot lang yun ng sakit. Naalala ko parin kung paano ako nagluksa sa pagkawala ng pamilya ko pero hindi man lang siya pumunta. Hindi man lang siya nagpakita, I still have the anger. hatred. in me.
Ang taong akala ko ay masasandalan ko sa oras na yun ay wala. Akala ko kahit sa oras man lang na yun ay madadamayan niya ako. But I got it all wrong.
Because that day.. he's not with me,
He's with her fiancè.
