.Dinala kami ni Uncle Joey sa isang Japanese Restaurant after nung game. I'm sure he brought us there since alam ni Uncle na mahilig sa Japanese food si Math.Upon getting our orders, Uncle started talking. "O bakit ganyan parin yang mukha mo? Wag ka nang malungkot!" sabi nito kay Math.Mathieu forced a smile. "Pasensya na po...""Eto o, sayo nalang tong Salmon Sushi ko." he put his sushi on Math's plate.Mathieu ate it quietly. No choice tuloy si Uncle kundi ako yung kausapin. "By the way, something came up. I will be flying back to States this evening."Sabay kaming napa-tingin ni Math sa kanya dahil dun. "Why so sudden?" I asked."Well... you know, business. Na-finalize ko na rin naman yung resort sa Cebu kaya okay na bumalik na ako." paliwanag nito."But... Uncle..." I can't help but to say. "That would only mean..."Uncle's expression saddened. "I know... This might really be the last time that I would see you both in person...""Ano pong ibig niyong sabihin?" biglang tanong ni M

"That's... sad, Uncle."He nodded while smiling still. "I know. Up to this day, iniisip ko parin, paano kung hindi ako nag-doubt? Paano kung hindi ako nag-overthink masyado noon? Masaya na siguro kaming dalawa... Anyway, the point is, you both are still young... Take everything easy and try enjoying things first. But always remember not to doubt yourself, Elle. When you started questioning yourself, everything would surely start to crumble down. If ever you and Math ended up together, then that would make me the happiest uncle in the world."Those words made me smile. "Thanks...""But again, studies first, okay? High school palang kayo! Wag mo munang masyadong isipin yang mga ganyang bagay!" natatawang paalala pa niya do this because I could not earn for them.My in-laws arrive not. What's happening to them?Three, I bought Hanna's milk and diapers and our viands. Good thing is I have earned today.Four, Gie texted me and asked what we need to be bought, because my salary was given to

Our lunch was one-pack of instant noodles with a few left-over rice. Since, I was thankful for it, it satisfied me. I did not fret.I was hoping for 'ukay-ukay' buyers, but no one comes in to buy. I was so sad the whole day.I did not compute the recommended 8-hour sleep though I had managed to make pancakes for our breakfast. I was hoping for God's blessings today.Nine, Rose visited Baby Zildjian. She and Mj bonded through Zj and the former's baby girl. They had serious talk as if theywere close already. In fact, it was their first time to converse. It gladdens me for Mj. Later, she gave us boiled cassava.Afternoon, we still have no 'ukay-ukay' sales. It makes me fret.In the middle of my 'fretting', Sarah hands me down a plastic bag of smoked fish. It was given by Papay Benson and carried by Yoyi. It was a double blessing. First, we would have viand this night. Second, I surmised that Auntie Belen has been there. It means money for all of us. That's what we were all waiting for. I

Past three, Ate Diyang came in. We talked about what bad luck, from a man who made her pregnant, she gets. She shreds tears due to my kind, consoling words. She plans to go home in Bulan. I second the motion. I advised her to escape and hide, for her partner -irresponsible partner, is not willing to support her and their child. A poor girl, she's perplexed to date. She doesn't know yet where to go, what to do and whom to lean on. However, I saw a positive outlook-in-life on her. She's now willing to give her baby a proper care and unconditional love. She has already decided to give her child to someone else..Very early at 9, April came in. We talked about Rodea and Christian. We both disagree and think that Dea was still hoping for her reconciliation with the man who demoralized her badly, through text messages. We also talk about Josephine's invitation to her daughter's first birthday celebration on April 5, 2007.Lunch time, Rose gave us 'cocido'. It's such a blessing for us, since

Lumipas ang halos isang linggo at ang mga araw na iyon ay napuno lang ng puro panunukso sakin mula kila Trish, Franches at Kenya. Ano pa nga ba ang aasahan ko? Kahit pa sinabi ko lang sa kanila na napopogian lang ako kay Larren ay pilit pa rin nila akong inilalapit sa kanya kaya wala akong ibang magawa kundi ang ngumiti na para bang natatae sa tuwing nangyayari ang bugawan.Mabuti na lang din talaga ay marunong makisama itong si Larren kaya heto, sa nagdaang mga araw ay parang mas lalo lang akong nahulog sa kanya. Dumalas ang pagsasama namin sa loob ng classroom dahil sa pag-aaya ng laro nila Kenya o 'di kaya naman ay nila Mark. May pagkakataon rin na nagkakasabay kaming lumabas ng classroom kasama sila Paulo at minsan din ay nagkakasama rin kami sa pagbalik mula sa cafeteria o nagkakasabay kami kapag lumalabas ako mula sa classroom nila Erich kaya pati sila ay nakikiharot na rin sa amin. Syempre kunyaring ayoko pero sa loob-loob ko ay parang mamamatay na ako sa kilig at pasasalamat s

Tumingin muna ako sa paligid bago muling ibinalik ang mga mata ko sa kanya, "S-si Khalid po?"Muling bumuntong-hininga si Nanay Myrna. Sa pagkakataon na iyon, walang buhay na, saka niya ako matamang tiningnan."Gusto mo ba talagang malaman o marinig ang sagot mula saakin kung nasaan o kung anong ginagawa ng asawa mo at ng babae niya?"Ngumiti ako nang mapait sa sinabi ni Nanay Myrna dahil alam ko na ang ibig niyang sabihin. Sa totoo lang, kahit papaano, habang nasa biyahe ako kanina, umasa nang katiting ang puso kong naghihintay man lang siya sa pagdating ko. Kahit hindi niya ako kausapin, okay lang. Basta naghihintay siya. Pero ako rin lang ang nasaktan sa pag-asa."Tara po, Nanay. Samahan niyo na lang po akong kumain." pag-iba ko sa usapan at nauna na akong lumakad sa kanya dahil ayokong makita niya ang emosyon niya sa mga mata ko at pagbabadya ng luha ko.Pagkatapos kong kumain, tumungo na ako sa kwarto ko. Pagkapasok ko sa kwarto ko, as usual, gabi-gabi, tuwing papasok ako sa gues

Napasinghap lang ako sa sinabi ni Mang Ben. Pinalis ko ang luha ko at napalingon sa likuran. At tama nga si Mang Ben, nakita kong nakasunod na naman ang pamilyar na kotse ni Khalid saamin tulad kahapon.Bumuntong-hininga ako saka umayos ng upo at napangiti nang mapait.Akala ba niya may lalaki ako kaya niya ako sinusundan na naman? Bakit hindi na lang niya ang babae niya ang bantayan niya? Tutal, pinayagan naman niyang mag-hang out kasama ang mga kaibigan nito.Sobrang pait. Sobrang pait ng pakiramdam ko. Pero may karapatan naman akong maramdaman iyon, hindi ba? Kasi ako 'yung asawa. sa phone kong nakapatay at itinutok sa tenga ko."Hello, Kerwin? Puwede bang sunduin mo ako ngayon?....Nandito kami sa loob ng plaza, nakaupo sa isang bench sa gilid.... May kasama ako...sige. Hihintayin kita."At mag-uusap tayo mamaya. Dugtong ko pa sa hangin. I'm sure na narinig niya 'yon dahil pagkaraan pa lang ng ilang minuto ay dumating na siya.I waved at him. "Siya na ba 'yung kasama mo?" Tanong ng

"Sino? Ba't niya gagawin 'yon?!" Ghad, kung hindi lang talaga buhay ko ang nakataya dito hindi ko na pipilitin pa ang sarili kong intindihin ang nga sinasabi niya.Tumingin siya sa akin, deretso sa mata. I waited, expecting him to tell something that is connected to our topic.But he suddenly look over his shoulder, frowning. "How about you check up on your mom downstairs?"Naguluhan ako. Why, all of a sudden? "Huh?""I promise, pagbalik mo sasabihin ko na sa'yo ang dapat mong malaman. May kakausapin lang ako sandali at ganon din sa'yo." Sinenyasan niya ako pero hindi ko maintindihan.Mayamaya'y naglaho na lang siya sa harapan ko na parang abo. Realizing what he said, I hurried up and open the door.But I saw no one. Someone must have eavesdropping my conversation with Christiana while ago.Napatingin ako sa pintuan na katapat ng kuwarto ko. I paused for a while. Nandito ba siya?Sunod ko na lang namalayan nasa harap na ako ng pintuan. Kakatok pa lang ako ng may humila na dito mula sa

Before lunch, I wrote a letter for Mj. Today is our 39th mensisary. That's why. It goes like this: Mary Jane,Thirty-nine months of togetherness is not a joke. It is such an achievement for both of us. Thus, let's cherish this day. We've come this far..I just wanna say sorry for my shortcomings..However, thankful I was for you gave birth for a health, handsome baby boy, just like how I was grateful when you gave birth to Hanna Margaret. Without you, I'm not a father of two. Thank you! Though, I've been so very busy this past few days, I couldn't still forget your nobility and unconditional love towards our children. Be always a good mother and a faithful partner, though I couldn't promise you the same.Since, I'm leaving tomorrow we'll be separated by distance for a temporal time. But don't mind it much. It will be our chance to have a happy future. Put in mind that I'm leaving not to escape but to seek a better life for all of us. A month or couple of months of separation is not a
