Chapter 26
Truth
Hindi mapalagay si Heather habang nasa sasakyan. The address that the woman gave was in Makati. Can you believe it? Nasa Makati lang pala ang nanay niya. Only less than an hour away from her father’s house.
Pero kung malapit lang siya, bakit ni minsan hindi niya ako binisita? And I thought sumama siya sa ibang lalaki patungong ibang bansa?
The second reason, may dahilan siyang naiisip. Baka nakauwi na ito makalipas ang ilang taon at nanirahan sa Makati kasama ang asawa. Pero hindi niya mahanapan ng dahilan ang unang tanong. Kahit simpleng pangungumusta lang, hindi man lang nito naitanong sa kaniya?
Napuno ng negatibong emosyon ang puso ni Heather. Pinaghalong tampo, lungkot, galit, pagsisisi, at kung ano-ano pa. She was very familiar with that feeling that it did not bother her and was even able to sleep peacefully.
Hindi na nagtaka si Primo nang makatulog an

Story“That night…was also the night I met your father, Heather.”Napatitig si Heather sa ina matapos marinig iyon. She was smiling. But not a smile of happiness. It was a smile of sadness.“Siya ang nag-table sa ‘kin noong gabing ‘yon. He said he was broken. He said that his wife was cheating on him. Well, iyon ang tingin niya. Kaya siya naroon. At gusto niya akong gamitin para gumanti.” Umiling ang Mama niya. “Basically, we used each other. He’s a doctor. He’s rich. Kailangan ko ang pera niya at siya, gusto niyang gumanti sa asawa niya. Alam kong napakamali ng ginawa ko. Pero hindi ko naman siya matanggihan lalo na nang nagbigay siya ng malaking halaga. Nagpasilaw ako sa pera. Ulit. Pero ngayon, may sapat na dahilan na ako para magpasilaw sa pera. Iyon ay para sa bahay na pinaghirapang ipundar ng magulang ko noong mga panahong naglayas ako. I know that that h

Move onHeather’s lips twitched like she was about to say something pero itinikom niya iyon. Dumiin ang pagkakakuyom ng kamao niya sa sobrang pagkabigla.Sa totoo lang, gusto niyang sumigaw sa sobrang pagkagulat. But she’s controlling herself because she knew it would make the air more awkward than it already is. Sa halip, hinarap niya si Primo.“P-Primo—““I don’t want to talk about it,” Primo dismissed the topic even before it has started.At kung magpapatuloy man ang usapan, ano ang sasabihin niya? Ayaw niyang magsinungaling kay Heather. Oo nga’t tinago niya rito ang tunay na nararamdaman pero sakaling malaman man nito, hindi niya itatanggi. So what will he say? That he loves her and that he actually wishes for her and her boyfriend to break up para maagaw niya ito rito? That would end their friendship for good.&nbs

Let me “I can’t bear you being broken like this, Primo. Ni hindi na nga kita makausap ng matino. I hate that girl for hurting you and not giving a shit,” mariing bulong ni Margot kay Primo. Primo did not answer. Sa halip ay humigpit ang hawak niya sa mga braso ng dalaga. Just when he heard the door opened and closed is when he let go of Margot’s arms. “Ouch!” d***g nito nang pabagsak niyang bitiwan ang mga braso nito. He pointed Margot. “I am warning you, Margot. Stop messing with Heather!” he growled. “Why are you being like that? One second you were so calm and gentle tapos ngayon biglang…” She stilled. “You did that so she’d leave?” Tinuro niya ang sarili. “You used me?” she exaggeratedly asked. Primo sneered at her. “Stop being so overdramatic, Margot.” “How can I not be dramatic? You just used me—well at least, that gir

Let go“Makinig ka sa ‘king mabuti kasi hindi ko na ulit uulitin pa ‘to,” sabi ni Heather nang makapasok na sa loob ng bahay. Humawak siya sa gate at hilam ang luhang tinitigan ng seryoso si Primo na nagmamakaawang nakatingin sa kaniya. Nilunok ni Heather ang awa at lungkot na nararamdaman bago matapang na sinalubong ang mga tingin nito.“I want you to never approach me again. Not to even utter a single word to me. Kahit pagtatama lang ng mga mata natin, ayaw ko na. From now on, let us live our lives without each other being part of it. Magkalimutan na tayo.”Marahas na umiling si Primo. He advanced closer to her, making her step back. Ito naman ang humawak sa gate. “You can’t do that.”

TarnishIlang araw ang lumipas at patuloy na nagkulong si Primo sa bahay niya. Empty bottles of beer were scattered from the dining table to the floor. Nakayupyop si Primo sa lamesa, his arms were his head’s pillow.Hindi pa rin maalis sa isipan niya ang nangyari hindi lang sa bahay ni Heather kundi pati na rin ang tawag na natanggap niya pagkatapos noon.“Hello?” walang buhay na sagot ni Primo sa tawag ng kaibigan.“Primo…I know you’re not in a good place right now and it will be insensitive of me to ask you this but, I really need it. Sa tingin ko, nabigyan naman na kita ng sapat na oras para gawin iyong pinapagawa ko sa ’yo,” wika ni Raniel sa kab

BrokenMalalim na ang gabi. Lahat ng tao ay nakatulog na. But there are two people who couldn’t sleep.One’s lying on the bed, crying. While the other one is sitting in front of a laptop.Pakiramdam ni Heather ay parang pinira-piraso ang puso niya sa sobrang sakit na nararamdaman. At sa mas lalong pagtagal ng nararamdaman niyang ito, mas lalo niyang naiintindihan ang dahilan.She has fallen for Primo. That time when he tried to kiss her, Heather had already developed feelings for him. And she was stupid enough to think that it could be stopped. That she could prevent herself from falling even more.Because she fell already. She

“A-Ate?” Heather was beyond shock when she saw her sister in the flesh. Kinusot niya pa ang mga mata ng ilang beses para makatiyak na hindi siya namamalikmata.And she’s not! Her sister is really here. In front of her! Hindi siya namamalikmata!“Anong ginagawa mo rito?” She was more nervous than surprised. Sigurado si Heather na hindi narito ang Ate niya para kamustahin siya. It must be very important for her to actually visit her.“Margot Serrano. Sino siya?” diretsahang tanong ni Driana na nagpalaki sa mga mata ni Heather.“H-How did you know her?”Heather ’s ashen face gave Driana a hint that the woman might be telling the truth. With her poker face on, she continued talking without a filter.“Margot Serrano told me that you’re flirting with her boyfriend and th

“Ano’ng ginagawa mo rito?” tanong ni Primo habang magkasalubong ang kilay na pinagmamasdan ang babaeng kaharap.Margot’s smile wasn’t fazed by his tone. “I’m here to visit you, duh.” Margot rolled her eyes and pushed Primo so she could enter his house.She stopped walking near the sofa and faced Primo who was stunned at how comfortable she was acting — like it’s her own house.“I brought your favorite.” Tinaas niya ang paper bag na bitbit. “Hindi ka na pumapasok ng opisina. Did something happen?” she asked while roaming around.Umiling si Primo saka kinuha ang paper bag na inaabot ni Margot sa kaniya.
