I smiled when I saw my Dad’s lawyer, walking hastily out of the elevator. Mukhang nagmamadali ang matanda.
“’Torney,” I greeted him but the old man smiled sadly.
Nag-away ba sila ni Daddy?
“Hi iha. I just dropped by. May ipinaasikaso ang Daddy mo sa akin, urgent.”
“Okay na po ba?” I glanced at his briefcase.
“Yes, pumirma na siya. Mauna na ako, iha.”
“Sige po. Take care po.” I bade goodbye and continued upstairs.
Pumasok ako sa kwarto at kinuha ang hairbrush ko. I’m waiting for my husband. Nakaligo na ako at hihintayin ko na lang siya sa ibaba.
“Hindi ko inaasahan na ganito ka kalala, Fatimah.”
I stopped when I heard my Dad’s voice, echoing inside the master’s bedroom. Though he’s calm, I could definitely tell when he’s mad. Galit siya.
