MONTHS PASSED
CJ'S POV:
I can't help but feel a rush of emotions sitting here on our bed, listening to the anguished shouts emanating from my wife. It seems as though ever since the day I made the decision to embark on my third trip to France to visit my daughter from Imee, her demeanor has transformed into one of frustration and discontent.
"Lagi ka nalang umaalis.. ni hindi mo na din masamahan yang anak natin sa school activities niya.. alam mo namang buntis ako... Wala ka na dito para alagaan man lang kami" - She blurted out...
I feel a bit guilty even though reasonable naman talaga yung mga pagpunta ko sa France.. but she is right... Minsan kasi pag pumupunta ako dun, I stay for Almost a week...
"Please Hon.. I'm sorry... I-i promise uunahin ko na kayo... I-i'll explain nalang muna kay Imee na Hindi muna ako makakapunta doon.. please hon forgive me kung nagkukulang na ako" - Niyakap ko siya ngunit hindi masyadong mahigpit dahil nag-aalala akong maipit ang baby namin.
"Kung saakin lang naman CJ okay lang naman sakin... naiintindihan ko naman... Kaso si Trixie... Lagi ka niyang hinahanap eh... Naattach na siya masyado sayo na pati presence ko ay hindi na enough para sakanya"- Andrea
"But I told her naman na bibisitahin ko ang little sister niya eh"- CJ
"Wait..... You know what CJ I have a bright idea" - Andrea looked at me and has a smirk on her face.
"What is it Hon?"- I asked her.
"Bakit dimo nalang kunin yung anak mo? May karapatan ka naman eh kasi ikaw ang ama diba? Tatanggapin ko naman yung anak mo kung saka sakaling dito siya titira" - She smiled at me.
Napapaisip ako kung tama ba na kunin ang anak ko kay Imee at ilayo siya sa kanya. Sa isang banda, hindi magandang ideya ito dahil magulang din si Imee at may karapatan siyang makasama ang aming anak. Ngunit sa kabilang banda, gusto ko rin ito gawin para sa asawa at anak ko. Ayaw ko kasing palaging iwanan sila at hindi makapaglaan ng sapat na oras para sa kanila.
Iniisip ko na baka mabuting ideya na si Imee na lang ang pumunta sa amin upang bisitahin ang aming anak. Sa ganitong paraan, hindi ko na palagi iiwan ang pamilya ko. Wala naman siguro magiging masamang mangyayari kung siya na lang ang bibisita sa anak namin.
Ngunit sa isang sulok ng aking isip, may takot na baka maging masama ang epekto ng desisyong ito. Baka magkaroon ng mga suliranin at hindi pagkakaunawaan. Baka maapektuhan ang kalagayan ng aking anak at hindi magiging komportable sa bagong setup. Hindi rin natin masasabi ang mga pagbabago at mga reaksyon na maaaring mangyari.
Sa kasalukuyan, ako'y nasa kawalan ng kumpyansa at di ko alam kung ano ang dapat kong gawin. Marahil ay kailangan ko itong pag-isipan ng mabuti at makipag-usap kay Imee tungkol sa mga naisip ko. Kailangan kong maging maingat at magmaneho ng maayos sa sitwasyong ito. Mahalaga ang kasiyahan at kaligtasan ng aking pamilya kaya't dapat kong piliin ang pinakamabuting desisyon.
"Pag iisipan ko pa Hon"- I said and kissed her shoulder
"Okay then... Go to your daughter... Kaninang umaga ka pa niya hinihintay..." She said at naupo na din siya sa kama..
"Anyways, naglakad lakad ka ba kaninang umaga? Maganda yun para hindi ka mahirapan sa panganganak.." i reminded her
"Ito naman, parang first time ko naman mabuntis.. alam na alam ko na yan.. kering keri ko na toh... Problemahin mo nalang kung pano mo kakausapin yung anak mo" sabi niya at tango na lamang ang isinagot ko.
IMEE'S POV:
"Imee, hija, may nagpadala sayo ng package"- Sabi ni Nanay Beth... She's one of our maids sa Pinas pero pinapunta siya dito nina Mommy para may katulong daw ako sa pag aalaga sa kambal.
"Kanino daw po galing Nay?"- I asked while holding the twins
"Naku hija hindi ko alam.. wala naman nakasulat dire oh" sabi niya at inilapag ang package sa table.
"Nay pabuksan nga po" sabi ko... Nasasanay naman na ako na may nagpapadala saakin..
And ang first ay yung New Friend ko... Julius... Julia ang tawag ko sakanya hahaha Yes, He's Gay... But hey Hear me out! HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND! ang bongga diba.. He said na tanggap parin naman daw siya ng GF niya kahit hindi na ito maging full pledge na lalaki.
Flashback
•doorbell ringing•
I immediately opened the door and saw a man looking at me and a girl holding a big Tupperware with food inside it. They're smiling at me as if they know me.
"Hi, Me and my Boyfriend found out that you just moved in here so we decided to welcome you.. we brought food" she smiled warmly at me. I looked at the man beside her and i suspected something..
I stood there, slightly taken aback by the unexpected encounter. The man's appearance was indeed peculiar, with his lips seemingly stained with lipstick and his eyebrows meticulously groomed, resembling those of a woman. My suspicions grew, but I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt.
"Thank you so much for the warm welcome," I replied, trying to hide my curiosity. "That's really kind of you both."
The girl's smile widened, at binigay na ang mga Tupperware na may laman na pagkain. Tinignan ko ang mga pagkain, at #ABAMATINDE! The container was filled to the brim with an assortment of mouthwatering dishes, each one more tempting than the last.
"We hope you enjoy the food Mhie" the man chimed in, his voice surprisingly feminine. "We love cooking, and we thought it would be a great way to introduce ourselves."
I couldn't help but feel a mix of confusion and intrigue. Their appearance and behavior were contradictory, leaving me unsure of what to make of the situation. However, their warm gestures and genuine smiles put me at ease.
"Thank you again," I said, accepting the Tupperware. "I'm really grateful for your kindness. By the way, I'm Imee"
The girl's eyes sparkled with excitement as she replied, "I'm Victoria but you can call me Vickie, and this is my boyfriend, Julius." Her boyfriend interupted her...
"Just call me Julia" he said and giggled. Oh M! Bakla siya?!?!
"Yes ate Bakla ako"- sagot ni Julius i mean Julia na para bang narinig niya ang sinabi ng utak ko.
"We've been living in this neighborhood for a while now, and we're always excited to welcome new neighbors."said the young girl
As we engaged in small talk, I couldn't help but notice the undeniable chemistry between Vickie and Julius. Their gestures and glances towards each other spoke volumes, and it became clear that they shared a deep bond.
"Filipino ka din po pala haha"- Vickie said
"Naku oo.. hahaha"- I giggled... But then I felt someone playing with my hair.
"Mujer, betchi ko talaga itong hairlalu mo.. pak na pak!" Sabi ni Julia at napatawa nalang kami ni Vickie
"Ano ka ba baks, umiiral nanaman kabaklaan mo"- panenermon ni Vickie sa boyfriend nito
"Eh kasi naman sightsung mo itong hairlalu niya so bouncy.. sana ganitez din ang hairlalu ng Kyotatalet natin pag lumabas na"- Julia said and I was surprised.
"Buntis ka?"- tanong ko ng nakatingin kay Vickie. Sasagot na sana ito kaso naunahan siya ni Julius. "Yes buntis ako"
Sabi nito sabay flip ng imaginary hair niya. Sumabay naman ang hampas ni Vickie sakanya
"Umayos ka nga baks.. opo ate buntis po ako.. invite na rin po pala kita sa Kasal namin hah" she smiled at me and i nodded and smiled in response
And so, in that moment, as I stood at my doorstep, I realized that sometimes, the most unexpected encounters can lead to the most meaningful connections.
