Seafarer Escapade 5: Renzo Luiz Fuentes

"It's about my sister---Nica." I exhaled.

His forehead was still furrowed, wondering why I suddenly open up the topic.

"I don't care, let's not talk about her." He said coldly and he was about to leave but I grabbed his arm to stopped him.

"Diba gusto mong malaman kung nasan sya." Tanong ko.

Inis syang humarap sakin at sinalubong ang mga mata ko.

"What prompted you to mention your sister so suddenly?" He asked so serious.

I licked my lips as I breathe heavily.

"You said you want to know where she is." I almost whispered.

"Do you think that I would leave my daughter if I found out where your sister is?" His voice filled with annoyance. "Why? You want my cousin to be my daughter's father?"

"Ha?" Napakunot ang noo ko dahil sa sinabi nya.

What is he talking about?

"Gusto mong malaman ko kung nasan sya, para ano?? Gusto mong mawala ang atensyon ko anak ko para malaya kayong makakagalaw ni Ronick. " nanunuya nyang sabi.

Nalaglag ang panga ko dahil sa sinabi nya. Iba ang iniisip nya kung bakit ko biglang nabanggit ang about kay Nica.

"This is not about your cousin for god sake. Wala nga kaming relasyon ng pinsan mo, bakit mo bang pinagpipilitang meron, huh!" Inis kong sabi.

"Gusto mong maniwala ako, pero ayaw mo namang patunayan sakin." Singhal nya.

I gasped for air in disbelief at what he stated. Napasuklay ako sa buhok ko at napailing nalang.

Hindi parin sya nakaka get over sa pag tanggi ko sa kanya.

"This is not about him Enzo, wala akong gusto sa kanya! mag kaibigan lang kami ni Nick. Kung ayaw mong maniwala, bahala ka." Inis kong sabi.

"Si Nica ang sinasabi ko, hindi ko alam kung bakit mo nasingit si Nick sa usapan." Tuloy ko.

"Well I don't care about your sister.....I'm still fucking here in Divilacan because of you and now my daughter." Singhap nya.

Natigilan ako sa sinabi nya at napakurap kurap. Hindi ko alam kung anong sasabihin ko. Nandito pa sya dahil gawa ko.

Am I the reason kung bakit sya nandito sa divilacan. Pinahanap ba nya ako?

"You claimed you have no communication with her." He sighed. "I believed you......let's not talk about her, whatever happened in the past, it stayed there."

Napakagat ako sa ibabang labi ko. How can I tell him about what happened if he don't want to hear it.

Inabot nya ang braso ko at marahan nya akong hinila sa kanya. Hinanap nya ang tingin ko hanggang sa magkatinginan na kami.

"She's the reason why you me left before......don't do it again, please." He huskily said.

"Enzo." Mahina kong banggit sa pangalan niya.
