"Mommy, pagod na po ako" my four year old daughter told me.
I knelt down on front of her.
"Sorry anak, I'll just carry you ha?" I told her, she nodded kaya kinarga ko sya.
Hindi sinasadyang sa pagkarga ko sa kanya ay may matatamaan ako.
Muntik na kaming tumumba pero mabilis nya akong nahawakan.
He pulled me up and made sure that before he let go ay maayos akong nakatayo.
"Be careful" his voice is cold as ice.
Akala ko boses lang nya ang malamig, ngunit pati ang titig nya sakin.
"Dr. Harper!" magiliw na bati sa kanya ni Misha. He smiled and nodded a bit at my daughter.
"H-happy-" I tried to call him.
"It is Dr. Harper Lennox Takano" he corrected me. "Anyway, I'll get going"
Mabilis nya akong nilagpasan.
He left me standing there na parang wala lang ang lahat.
Kasalanan ko naman.
Sinaktan ko sya.
He gave me the world but I gave him goodbye.
He used to be my lover, now, he is just my daughter's Pediatrician.
