ANDIE[/b]
I woke up.
Damn that doorbell. Damn that person who’s doorbelling. Tsk.
The sound continued ringing as if it would not stop until I open the freakin’ door.
I can’t open my eyes ‘cause I still am feeling sleepy. Napuyat ako sa paggawa ng resignation letter.
“WAAAAAIT! I’m coming! Can’t you wait?!”
I opened the door. Nagkukuskos pa ‘ko ng mata.
I was shocked with sa tumambad sa harap ko as I opened the door.
Little Gio and his brother, Paolo. With.. Bouquet of stargazers and breakfast.
Isasara ko na yung door sana. Kaso.. Ang bastos naman ata.
“Good morning!” they greeted.
“Good morning too. What brought you here?”
“Ate Andie. Breakfast for you. Thank you po sa pakikipagplay sa akin yesterday.”
“Aww. That’s so sweet, Gio. Tara, come in.”
I held Gio and let him in my unit.
“Can I come in too?” Paolo said.
“Diba sabi ko tara, come in. Nahiya ka pa. Tara.” I chuckled. Napakamot naman siya.
We were eating breakfast together. Me, Gio and Paolo. I stood up to place the bouquet sa kwarto ko.
Sht. 10 na pala? Oh anyway. I think Gio’s having fun naman here sa unit ko.
“Naligo na ba si Gio?” I asked Paolo.
“Oo. Maaga ko pinapaliguan yan.”
“Wow. Bait naman ni kuya. Anyway, ako muna maliligo. Fast lang. I’ll be back.” I said.
I took a bath. Mga 30 minutes siguro yun. Paglabas ko, naglalaro yung magkuya. Haha.
“Wow. How sweet naman kayong magkuya.”
“Daddy! Ang dayaaaaa! Ate Andie si daddy ang daya!”
Daddy? Anak niya si Gio? What? Napatingin sakin si Paolo. He smiled. Lumapit siya sa akin. I’m seriously shocked. I mean. Mukha pang bata si Paolo. Kk fine, hindi ko pa nga pala siya masyado kilala.
“I guess it’s time for you to introduce yourself ng maayos. Para.. You know.. I mean. Kuya ako ng kuya, daddy ka pala ni.. Gio.”
He chuckled. “Yah. E kahapon naman kasi, you were so mad at me. That’s why I didin’t have the chance to tell you I am his father.”
“Where’s his mother? Your wife?”
“She’s.. Gone.”
“Oh. I’m sorry for that.”
He smiled. “Nakita naman siya ni Gio, pero.. One year lang. Gio just turned one when his mom died. Well, we did not get married. Dapat kasi pag 26 years old pa. E kaso.. Yah.”
“Bakit? How old are you naba?”
“I’m 24. Ikaw?”
“22. By the way. Alam ni Gio?”
“Yup.”
“Hindi siya naghahanap ng mommy? I mean, siyempre bata yan. It’s not possible na hindi siya mainggit with other kids na may mommy.”
“He knows. He gets jealous. But.. Sinasabi ko na lang na.. Magkakamommy din siya.”
“Ate Andie play tayo ulit.” Gio ran to me.
“No Gio, later. Daddy’s still talking with her.”
“Hmp. Okay. Inaagaw mo sa’kin si Ate Andie. Bleeeeeh.” Dumila siya kay Paolo.
SILENCE.
“By the way, I’m really sorry for what happened yesterday.” He said.
I laughed. “Okay lang. I’m sorry din nasungitan kita. I’m tired kasi. Kakagaling ko lang nun from Puerto Galera.”
“Oh. And ako naman, nagmamadali. Anyway, sorry talaga. I didn’t mean to do that.”
SILENCE AGAIN. I was looking at Gio who’s playing. I pity this little boy. I’m sure he’s longing for a mother’s love.
“So, you still love his mom?” I suddenly asked.
“It was so painful. She died, leaving me with Gio alone. I mean, lalaki ako. I don’t know how to properly take care of a child. Natuto na lang ako kay mama. It was so hard forgetting about her.”
I smiled at him.
“Ikaw naman magkwento.” He told me.
“I’ve got nothing to tell you.” Ayoko naman sabihin sa kanya yung tungkol sa past ko. Baka.. Wala lang. Nakakahiya lang. Next time na kapag super close na kami.
“Since you are our new friend here.” He told me. “Can I ask for a little favor?” he continued.
“Yah, ano?”
“Can you.. Take care of Gio kapag wala ako sa unit naming? Sorry ang kapal ng mukha ko. Haha. Nagggym kasi ako. And.. Nakita mo naman, si mama iniwan kahapn si Gio. I’m just.. Well, if you don’t want—“
“Sure. Anything for Gio. Sarap kaya kalaro ni Gio.”
“So do you have a boyfriend?” he suddenly asked me.
“Ang random ha. Well. Yes, I have. Infact.. He is coming home na on the 13th. Ipapakilala ko kay daddy.
“DADDY!!!” Gio called Paolo.
“Yes?”
“Can I stay here at Ate Andie’s later?”
“No. Ate Andie will stay at our unit later habang wala ako. Okay?”
“Yehey! Yehey! Yehey!” he jumped for joy.

PAOLO[/b]
Oh shit. It’s 9 in the evening. Nakakahiya na kay Andie di pa ako nakakauwi.
I hurried. Drove fast.
I opened the door. Tahimik na sa unit naming ni Gio. I went inside our room to check them.
They’re both asleep.
Nagising si Gio. Nagising ata sa pag-open ko ng door.
“Daddy.” He whispered. He kissed my cheek.
“Have you eaten?” I asked him. We’re whispering.
“Opo. Ate Andie prepared food for me kanina.” Binulungan ako ni Gio. Sa tenga talaga. Haha.
“Good, good. Napagod si Ate Andie?”
He nodded. “We played.”
Gigisingin sana ni Gio si Andie.
“Shh! Gio, no. She’s sleeping. Wag mo gisingin.” I told him.
“Sorry.” Whispered again.
“Sleep na.”
Before he sleep. May sinabi siya sa akin.
