I put the flan on my husband’s table but he’s inattentive, facing the ceiling to floor glass door.
May hawak siyang papel at mukhang nag-iisip siya.
Tita Sec said that the interview was rescheduled. I just nodded and never asked. Paul is a responsible man now and I know that there’s a reason why he did that. And looking at him from where I stand, I know he’s going on something bad.
Naglakad ako papunta sa kanya at niyakap ko siya sa likod, pinanggigilan pa.
Para siyang nagulat at agad akong inilipat sa harap niya. He kissed my temple and somehow smiled but he looks sad—down again.
“May umaway ba sa King Kong ko?” lambing ko sa kanya pero mataman lang siyang nakamasid sa akin hanggang sa bumuga siya ng hangin.
His arms tightened around my waist.
