"UNCLE, you're here!'
"Hello, my boy! How are you?"
"I'm good. I have classes with Teacher Jessie. Daddy's not here. He's playing golf with his friends."
"I know." Nilingon ako ni Lucas. His lips curved into thin line as he entered the dining room. Hinila niya ang silya sa tabi ni Elias at umupo. "That's why I have to be here, am I right, my boy?"
"Sure, Uncle!"
Tumingin sa akin si Lucas. Walang kangiti-ngiti at parang sinasadyang itutok ang mga mata sa aking mukha. If he plans on making me feel conscious, sorry na lang dahil okay lang ako. I proved it by greeting him casually.
"Good morning, Sir."
Bagaman nakatingin pa rin si Lucas sa akin nang batiin ko, hindi siya bumati pabalik. That's fine. Ilang araw na ba siyang nagsusuplado? At hindi pa sasama sa team building. Mabuti nga
