Chapter Twenty Four:
"Dos."
Sinadya ko talaga siya dito sa opisina niya. Hindi dahil sa business, kundi dahil sa ibang bagay.
"Mmm?"
Nag-angat siya nang tingin sa akin. Nagulat yata siya na nandito ako dahil wala pa akong isang buwang nandito ay dinalaw ko na siya.
"I want to ask something."
"Yeah, what is it?"
"'Nong nasa America ba ako, may naging boyfriend ba si Devora?" I asked him without hesitation.
Bahagya siyang natawa pero halatang peke at nang-iinsulto iyon.
"You think I'd let you know, Claud?" May halong pang aasar na tanong niya.
"Just please answer me, it is not as if I'll meddle in her life again. Eduard told me that she had a child and I was thinking if it was mine."
Mabilis na tumayo siya at galit na tiningnan ako.
"You are not the father so stop asking, okay?"
