MILLIE
Bahagya lang nagkibit-balikat si Frylle sa tanong ko bago diretsong tumingin sa harapan niya. "She was adopted by a good family background-" he stopped midway on his sentence. Then, he whispered something that I didn't hear.
"Ano 'yon?" tanong ko.
"Nothing," he just said, shaking his head. "As I was saying, she was adopted when she was five years old."
"Oh. Pareho pala kami. I was also five when I got adopted by my adoptive parents," sabi ko. "May communication ka pa ba sa kanya? At kilala ka pa ba niya?" tanong ko pa bago muling salinan ng alak ang kopita ko.
Ilang segundo rin siyang tahimik bago muling nagsalita. "I don't think she still remembers me."
Naudlot ang akmang pagtungga ko sa alak at mabilis na lumingon sa direksyon niya. "Are you serious?"
Bahagya lang siyan
