Chasing In The Dark

18

Everyone of us already done packing. And i memories flash on my mind, parang noon lang na natataranta pa si Nanay Celia na magimpake para maprotektahan ako sa katotohanan na akala niya hindi talaga mabubunyag. But then when we tramsferred in Cebu, thank god Dad didn't waste money and time just to find me.

Well, why would he find me? Bakit niya pa ipagsisigawan sa mundo na may nawawala siyang anak kung hindi niya naman kayang ipagsigawan sa mundo na may ako, na may pangatlo siyang anak. I understand him, he doesn't owned me, i don't have his blood, but still he gave me his name. Kontento na ako duon.

"You going to work?"

She raised her brows on me and she look bitch on it, that is the reason why my son is curious about the girls in the club, kasi sanay siya duon, at minsan pinapakilala niya sa amin ang mga lalaki niya na akala mo magtatagal. Pero minsan sa akin lang, ipinapakilala niya hindi bilang jowa kundi fuckbuddies.

"Yeah, i will be home at exactly five."

I smiled at her while i received a nod at her.

"Don't stress yourself too much, honey."

"I won't Nanay Celia."

Pumasok ako sa trabaho as usaual. Nadatnan ko si Jeorge duon na nakangiti sa laptop niya, akala ko madadatnan ko siyang nakakunot ang noo habang problemado. But then he always remind me that creasing your foreheads makes people look twice their age. That's why he always massage his face to not have some rinkles at the age of fifties and sixtise.

Is that possible? I don't know. I never waste some money for that reason, because im not that rich as him. Nakikibalita lang sakanya sa kung ano ang ginagawa niya. Kung saan siya masaya duon ako, i will support him no matter what. I will be on his side no matter what. That's what friends do, right?

"I though you won't be here?"

"What do you expect me to do? Sitting on our house couch while waiting for six pm, hell no. I need money and income for my son, lalo na't aalis tayo nang Seattle."

I sighed as i put everything that i am carrying. Nakakapagod.

"Woah, i guess it's your day huh. Yame being bitchy on his red days."

I rolled my eyes on him, his pestering me.

"It's not my day. It's just the thought-"

I was cut of by him.

"Thought about you meeting Mone. I thought too that you doesn't care about that man, that all you want is him to meet your son, his son. For your son so he can feel what to have a father is like."

His brows are ups right now. Why do people are raising there brows on me? What did i do to made them brows up and me? Do i look like that too? Or isn't just im stress that's why i think of it? Baka nababalew na ako.

"I don't know, pero nagdadalawang isip ako. It's just that i saw my son's face yesterday when i announced it. I want to back out but, i guess i don't have to."

"Do it for your son, Yame. Just think that your doing everything for your son."

Napatango ako sa sinabi niya.

I worked hard, but then my works can't occupied my mind, it was distracted about Klenda's word last night when i called her. I don't know if she was just pissing me or she'a just pregnant.
