I smiled.

I can still picture that scene like I have just watched it, but it happened along time ago, and so much had changed. He has a daughter now—that I have never met, let alone seen. Habang ako wala pa ring asawa, naghihintay sa wala.

“Oh, guyabano shake, Gabe. Alam kong gusto mo ito.” ngiti ni Mama at agad ibinigay sa akin ang isang baso ng freshly blended guyabano.

I smiled again.

“Ano ba yang hawak mo?” tanong ni mama at naupo sa isang stool sa tabi ko sa kitchen counter.

Umiling agad ako at saka niyakap ang journal para hindi niya matanaw, as if protecting my privacy. “Wala lang po, notes para sa new article.”

Tumango agad si mama, “Ah, talaga?”

Kinunotan ko lang ng noo si mama bago ako tumango, “Oo nga po.”

“Okay, sabi mo eh.”

Okay.

Sana nga gano'n lang kadali maniwala. Konting sabi lang napaniwala ka na. Konting sabi lang, hindi ka na mamimilit kasi naniwala ka na.

Pero bakit ako ganito pa din?

Bakit kahit alam kong kasal na siya't may anak, naniniwala pa rin ako na may pag-asa kahit wala?

No. I have decided and it is for my own sake.

Ngayon lang ako magiging makasarili kasi hindi ko pa rin tanggap na gano'n nga ang nangyari. Ngayon lang, pagbigyan naman ako. Hindi ako pupunta doon para makita siya kasi hindi ko kaya.

I can't come.

I can't do this.

I can't take it to see him again when everything else falls into places but not what I feel for him. When everything about him is now perfect and mine is still a wreckage.

I reached for my phone and texted Mariz:

Sorry cant come busy sched.

My phone buzzed.

I am currently standing at my bookshelf, deciding what books I will read next.

Ibinalik ko agad ang Catcher in the Rye ni J. D. Salinger sa shelf ko bago ko pa man mabuklat ang first page, at inabot ang phone ko sa bulsa.

After yrs of not seein u, d ka aattend sa reunion? fck off Gabe party muna later na trabaho ui!

I rolled my eyes at Jonalou's message and then that made me smile.

My friend never changed, but she can't change my decision.

I can't come.

My phone buzzed again.

U’ll come or u’ll b dead? txtbck

Stephanie can't change my decision either.

My phone buzzed again, pero di ko na tinignan pa ang message. Whoever texted me, about reunion lang yan so better yet, huwag ko na lang pansinin.

Nilagay ko na ang phone ko sa nightstand ko at doon ko nakita ang journal ko.

I think, alam ko na kung anong babasahin ko.
