Nakaupo na ang dalawa sa dining table habang isa-isa kong nilapag yung hapunan. Tahimik lang silang dalawa at ako naman ay naiilang na. Matapos kong maihanda yung hapunan ay agad akong nagpaalam sa kanila.

"Pakabusog po kayo," I slightly bow my head and turned around.

"Aren't you gonna eat with us?" Napahinto ako nang magsalita si Kento.

Umiling ako at bahagyang ngumiti. "Hindi na po. Katulong lang po ako at hindi nararapat na sumasabay ako sa inyong kumain."

"Nonsense," iling niya. "Come join us. Kapag magkasama tayo ay hindi ka katulong. Kaibigan ka namin," he paused to turn to Timothee. "Diba, Tim?"

Tumaas ang magkabilang kilay ni Timothee. "She's not my friend, dude. She's my maid. There's a difference-- ow!"

Kento may have stepped on his foot for him to shout like that.

"Kaibigan natin siya, diba?" Pinanglakihan ni Kento ng mata ang kaibigan.

"Oo na! Oo na! Kaibigan na nga natin," he then faced me. "Umupo ka na nga! Kakain na tayo," nguso niya at bumalik sa pagkain.

  • Yes, No, Maybe   Chapter 17

    Timothee is avoiding me. I must have hurt his feelings. Kaya nga ayaw kong binubuksan yung bibig ko kasi walang filter. Kailangan kong mag-sorry sa kanya pero paano ko naman yun gagawin 'e iniiwasan nga niya ako.Walang sched si Timothee this morning kasi sa hapon pa yung shoot niya. He is inside his room at hindi ko alam kung ano yung ginagawa niya. And here I am inside my room thinking of how to say that I am sorry. I admit naman na kasalanan ko. I literally just say anything that would come out of my mouth without thinking."Magsosorry ka lang naman, Ava. It's not like it's your first time, right?" Bulong ko sa sarili.Huminga ako nang malalim. Nasa kabilang kwarto lang si Timothee. Just knock on the door and say sorry. Ganun lang kasimple.I hold on to the door knob and thrust the door open. In front of me is the door of Timothee which is closed. Humakbang ako papalabas at tumayo sa harap nito. Huminga ulit ako nang malalim bago kumatok."Sir Timothee?" I called.I waited for a fe

    "What was that all about?" Tanong ni Timothee pagkapasok namin ng villa.He sounded like he didn't like what I did which made me feel furious. Sobrang dali lang naman ang magpasalamat. Can't he do that?"Ano po yung gusto niyong ulam?" Walang gana kong tanong at binabalewala yung tanong niya.I went to the kitchen without glancing at him. I opened the fridge and took some meat. Bahala na kung ano yung lulutuin ko ngayon. "Look. I appreciate what you did there pero hindi mo na dapat yun ginawa," he insisted."Why?" I finally glanced at him. "Kasi kaya mo na? Sir, kung hindi ako sumabat baka nasuntok mo na yung tao. Inisip ko lang kung ano ang dapat gawin sa oras na 'yun.""But how about you? People would talk how rude my maid was.""People won't care about me," sagot ko. "Isang katulong lang ako at walang mawawala sa akin kapag sinagot ko sila. Except if you fire me which I doubt would happen. Pero kung nasuntok mo yung lalaki, issue na naman.""Issue?" He asked."Narinig ko yung usap

    "Sir?" I called Timothee pero hindi siya kumibo.Naisipan kong pababayaan ko nalang muna siya. He's probably tired from work. Kita ko din yung mga ginagawa niya at hindi iyon madali. I thought posing for the camera would be easy not until I saw how Timothee works. Kailangan talagang magtutulungan yung skills at mentality mo. He is still resting his head on my shoulders. Nakasiksik pa rin sa leeg ko. I feel a bit uncomfortable but at the same time, healing. Ewan ko. Maybe because I haven't been touching my skin with others for long. "Sir?" I called again pero hindi siya sumagot.I tap his head pero hindi pa rin siya kumikibo. Unti-unti ko nalang naramdaman yung bigat niya."Sir! Natutulog kayo? Sir! Ah!"I unintentionally dropped him on the cold ground. Nanlaki ang aking mga mata. Hindi ko kasalanan! Ang bigat niya at hindi ko alam na nakatulog na pala siya!Yumuko ako as I bended my knees to check on him."Sir? Okay lang kayo? Naku! Pasensya na po!"I only received a groan from him.

    Nilapag ko na sa mesa yung mangkok kung nasaan nakaupo si Timothee. Sakto naman paglapag ko ay biglang bumukas yung pinto at iniluwa si Kento."I'm back!" Sigaw niya."Sa kusina, dude!" Sigaw pabalik ni Timothee habang hininilot yung sintedo niya.I heard footsteps nearing the kitchen kaya pumunta na ako sa gilid para bigyan ng daan yung bagong dating. "Oh? Ang aga niyo naman," sabi ni Kento. "Wait. Is that hangover soup?""Yup!" Timothee popped the p. "We had a few drinks last night.""We?"Timothee nodded. "Me and Ava drank last night and right now I have a massive headache.""You and Ava?" Napalingon si Kento sa akin as his eyes lost the glow. "Nothing happened, right?""Walang nangyari!" I blurted out.Napatitig silang dalawa sa akin, gulat dahil sa biglaan kong pagsigaw. I cleared my throat and looked down."Walang nangyari," sabi ko ulit pero this time ay hininaan ko na yung boses ko."Are you sure? Wala ba talagang mangyari, Tim?" Tanong niya sa kaibigan."Wala. Ang naalala ko

    "Diego!" Sita ni Mommy. "Anak ko si Ava kaya pwede siyang bumisita dito kahit kailan niya gusto.""Ano ba ang pinunta niya dito? Iuuwi na ba niya yung aso niya? Kung ganun kunin mo na!" Sigaw niya kaya napayuko ako."Binibigyan naman tayo ng allowance para pang-alaga sa aso. It's not that of a big deal," mahinahon na sabi ni Mommy."Hindi nga problema yung dog food e nahiya naman yung pagkain na kaya kong dalhin araw-araw. Ang mahal ng pagkain ng aso tapos tayong nag-aalaga ay pinagsawaan yung mumurahing ulam!" Tito Diego brushed his hair in frustration. "Bahala ka na d'yan!"Tumalikod na sa amin si Tito Diego at iniwan na kami. Bumuntong-hininga si Mommy bago ako hinarap."Pagpasensyahan mo na Tito Diego mo. Alam mo na, talagang ayaw niya sa Daddy mo," she said."Uuwi na siguro ako Mommy. Mukhang ayaw nga din ni Tito na makita ako. Well, I can just set a date for us to meet!" I suggested.Para kasi akong nasasakal kanina. Alam kong hindi talaga ako welcome sa pamamahay na ito pero ib

    "Ako na dito, Mom," I insisted."Hindi anak. Bisita kita kaya ako na ang maghuhugas ng pinggan," iling ni Mommy at bahagya akong tinulak."Mom, let me do it. Hmm? Kaya ko naman atsaka nakakahiya na kasi pinapakain niyo pa ako sa bahay niyo," I said."Ikaw pa yung nahiya e dapat ako nga kasi ikaw pa yung naghugas," she giggled. "Anyway, I didn't expect you to wash dishes. Saan mo natutunan 'yan?""Tinuruan ako ni Manang," I replied."Si Manang? Yung yaya mo simula pagkabata?" She asked which I nodded. "Wow! Kung ganun dapat ko siyang pasalamatan. She raised you well."Napangiti ako habang sinasabunan yung mga pinggan. Manang did raised me well."Hindi lang naman ito yung tinuro niya sa akin," I said."Oh? Ano pa yung tinuro sa iyo?" Sabik niyang tanong."She taught me house chores. Minsan ako na yung naglilinis ng mansyon, well kasama din yung ibang katulong. Ayaw niya kasing lalaki akong spoiled," I replied.Naalala ko nung sabi niya ay tuturuan niya daw akong magwalis. I was hesitant

    "Sir Timothee!" I exclaimed. "Ano po yung ginagawa niyo dito sa labas? I thought you have a shoot?"Pinaningkitan niya ako ng mata habang nakahalukipkip pa rin. Tumaas ang magkabila kong kilay. Anong tiningin-tingin niya? Galit kaya siya? Pero nagpaalam naman ako sa kanya."Sir?" I asked.Hindi siya sumagot, sa halip ay itinaas niya yung kamay niya. He gestured his fingers for me to get closer. Naguguluhan man ay lumapit ako sa kanya."What took you so long?" He asked."Because I was bonding with my Mom," I replied. "Sabi niyo tatawagan niyo lang ako kapag papauwi na kayo. That's what I did--""Are you sure you're with your mother?" Taas-kilay niyang tanong. "From what I saw, I don't think you're with your mother."Kumunot ang aking noo at tumalikod. My eyes landed on the wheel tracks from Peter's motorcycle. Napakurap ako. Mukhang alam ko na kung ano yung iniisip niya."Ah. It's a misunderstanding--""I saw what I saw," putol niya sa sinabi ko. "Papayagan naman kitang gumala pero san

    I woke up three hours later. Yup! Kento ended up cooking our dinner. Pagkagising ko ay wala na si Kento. He left a note saying that dinner is ready. Hindi na daw niya ako ginising kasi sobrang himbing daw ng tulog ko. Pagkalabas ko naman ng silid ay nakasarado pa rin yung pintuan sa silid ni Timothee. Mukhang nagpapahinga pa rin siya. I didn't bother to knock at naisipang bumaba nalang muna para kumain. The food was on the table. I opened the lid of the casserole. Agad kong naamoy yung malinamnam na luto ni Kento. Nakangiti kong punagsandok yung sarili saka naupo. I took my first bite and instantly fell in love with the food. Perfect package talaga si Kento. Aside from being a gentleman, he can also cook!Tinapos ko muna yung pagkain bago naghugas ng pinagkainan. Nilabas ko na din muna si Pixie para mapakain. Pinakain ko muna siya ng kanin since wala akong dalang dog food. Habang kumakain yung alaga kong aso ay lumabas muna ako para magpahangin. The cold breeze welcomed me the mome

    Timothee and I stayed inside their hotel room. Hindi pa kasi bumalik si Kento and Timothee insisted for me to stay. I couldn't say no matapos niyang sabihin na magc-cuddle kami. It's something that I need right now. Nakayakap ako sa kanya habang siya naman ay nilalaro ang buhok ko habang nakahiga. "Ava," he called."Yes?""I've been meaning to tell you something," sabi niya.Kumunot 'yung noo ko at nilingon siya. "Ano 'yun?""Ano kasi. I don't want to keep secrets from you and I am getting more guilty as time goes by," he said.Nagsimula na akong kabahan. Is it something that would upset me? Kaya ko bang magalit kay Timothee? He's the only person I have left and when I feel betrayed by him, kanina nalang ako tatakbo? Sino ang natira para sa akin?"Say it."He sighed. "I'm sorry but I've been in contact with your parents."Napakurap ako. "Since when?""Since yesterday," kamot niya sa ulo. "They know where we are. Alam nila na sa akin ka lalapit. Your Dad knows kasi na nililigawan kita

    Lumapit ako sa kanya at ganun pa rin 'yung tingin niya sa akin. I decided to get a lipstick that would look natural on his lips. I took a brush para sana lagyan siya ng lipstick sa labi pero umiwas siya.I sighed. "Timothee...""Anong pinag-uusapan niyo ni Kento? Did your little crush on him came back now that you see him after a long time?" Tanong niya.Hindi nga ako nagkakamali. Nagseselos nga siya. I saw it coming."Hindi," iling ko. "I was apologizing for fooling him as well.""Bakit siya nakangiti sa'yo?""Turns out alam na niyang nagpapanggap lang ako noon pa," iling ko. "Now I understand why he's always been so understanding to me before.""Psh. Mas understanding pa ako," he whispered but I heard him anyway.I smiled. "So, can I put on your lipstick now?"Umiling siya. "Doon ka sa Kento mo.""Timothee naman. Let's not fight, okay? Maraming naghihintay sa'yo," I said.Hindi siya sumagot. His face is facing on the other side as if ignoring everything that I just said. Alam ko nam

    "Ava," I heard someone calling my name softly.Hindi ko pinansin ang boses na 'yun. I am sleeping comfortably in a soft bed. Dala siguro sa pagod kaya ako nakatulog agad. I remember after dinner, I felt so sleepy that I instantly fell asleep the moment I closed my eyes.After kong pinakilala kay Rosie and sarili ko, in a harsh way, Tito Vincent told us to eat instead of roasting each other. Of course nag-sorry naman ako agad. Ang bastos kaya nun sa harap ni Tito Vincent. Hindi na siguro kami magkakabati ni Rosie. Hindi naman din akong umasa na magustuhan niya ako. Well, kung ano 'yung ipapakita niya sa akin edi yun din ang ipapakita ko sa kanya."Ava," I heard it again.I groaned and turn to the side, away from the voice. Ayoko munang bumangon. Nagulat nalang ako nang may malambot na bagay na dumampi sa labi ko. Iminulat ko ang aking mga mata at doon ko nakita si Timothee na nakangisi."Halik lang pala ang makakagising sa iyo," he said.Nanlaki ang aking mga mata at napaatras habang

    "Paano ko malalaman kung nagsasabi ka nga ng totoo? Nakita ko kung paano umiyak si Timothee. Hindi ko akalaing makikita ko siya nang ganun," Manang said as tears started forming in her eyes. "Kung pwede ko lang akuin ang sakit na nararamdaman niya ay ginawa ko na.""I'm sorry," yuko ko.Hindi ko na alam kung ano 'yung sasabihin. Saying sorry was what I think is the best thing to say. "Bakit ka sa akin nagso-sorry?"Huminga ako nang malalim. "Kasi alam kong nasaktan ka din na makitang ganun si Timothee." I paused. "Timothee and I settled our differences. Okay na po kami ngayon. We promised to be honest from now on at hindi ko na po siya sasaktan."She sighed. "Nakita ko kung gaano kalaki ang mga ngiti niya kamakailan. Siguro dahil din sa'yo," she said, looking at me. "Kapag narinig kong sinaksaktan mo ulit siya, huwag kang magpapakita sa akin. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang magagawa ko sa'yo."Bahagya akong yumuko. "Hinding-hindi na po 'yun mangyayari."She stared at me one last time befo

    "Okay lang talaga?" I asked Timothee as I parked my car in front of their mansion.Sinabi ko sa kanya na hindi ko alam kung paano haharapin sina Mommy. After everything I knew, hindi ko na alam kung paano sila tratuhin. I'm scared of avoiding them kasi ayaw ko din silang saktan. Timothee told me that I can stay in their house. I was hesitant syempre. How can I come back in that house matapos ko siyang lokohin sa ilang buwan kong pananatili doon. It would remind me of everything I've done."Ava, I thought that we left the past behind us?" He faced me."I'm sorry. I still feel ashamed of what I did.""Stop it," seryosong sabi niya. "Let's not talk about it, okay? Tapos na 'yun Ava. I forgave you already."I nodded. "Okay."Pumasok na kami ni Timothee sa loob ng mansyon at halos walang pinagbago. Nandun pa rin 'yung mga bulaklak na minsan kong dinidiligan araw-araw. The front lawn is still as wide as ever. I bit my lower lip as we get closer to the entrance. Nakakakaba. Alam ko naman na

    I stood there, frozen, not knowing what to do. Timothee was stunned as I am."Sige 'yan!" Sigaw nung photographer. "Kiss her Timothee!"I bit my lower lip as tears continued crawling down my cheeks. Nanghihina na ang mga tuhod ko. Timothee immediately pulled himself off."What are you doing?!" He asked his partner."What? 'Yun ang gusto nila. Isn't it our job to do what the client wants," sagot nung babae."Timothee ano ba?!" Sigaw nung photographer. "We almost got the shot. What is wrong with you?!" He paused and faced the woman behind me which I assumed as the client. "I'm really sorry about that. I will make sure that we give you the shot that you want.""You better. Ano bang nangyari kay Chandler?" Tanong nung babae. "It's your job to model."Binalik ko ang tingin ko kay Timothee and as if on cue, our eyes met. Nanlaki ang kanyang mata and all I could do was to smile forcefully with tears in my eyes."Ava," he mouthed.Umiling ako at tumalikod. I walked away kasi alam kong Timothe

    "I have a shoot today."'Yan ang huli kong narinig mula kay Timothee. Pagkagising ko pa lang ay siya na agad ang hinahanap ko. The reason? Hindi ko din alam. I called him the moment I woke up. Ilang rings pa bago niya sinagot 'yung phone. Base sa boses niya ay parang nagmamadali. He said may shoot siya ngayon. I sometimes forget that he's a model.Napag-isipan ko na surpresahin siya. Alam ko naman kung saan sa kadalasang nagsho-shoot kaya hindi na ako mababaliw kakahanap sa kanya. Agad akong bumangon at dumiretso sa banyo. I took a bath and then brush my teeth. Matapos kong magbihis ay dumiretso ako sa baba kung saan naabutan ko sina Mommy at Daddy na nag-uusap sa kusina. Kumunot 'yung noo ko. Bakit silang dalawa lang? Natutulog pa kaya sina Tito Diego.Out of curiosity, sumilip ako at pinakinggan ang kanilang pinag-usapan. It was suspiscious enough that they are talking privately."I'm sorry about what happened last night, Adam. Nadulas ako. Excited lang ako na makita si Timothee.

    I bit my lip as I dialed Timothee's number. Alam kong magugulat siya o maguguluhan kapag sinabi kong dito nalang siya maghapunan. Hindi naman nagtagal ay sinagot na ni Timothee yung tawag."What took you so long to call me?" Bungad niya.Kahit hindi ko siya nakikita ngayon alam kong nakanguso siya."Unexpected things happen," I smiled kahit hindi naman niya kita."Nakausap mo na Daddy mo?" Tanong niya. "Is everything okay?"Umiling ako. "Hindi. Hindi ko nakausap si Daddy." I paused. "Ano, Timothee. Kumain ka na ba?""Hindi pa ako kumain. Bababa na sana para kumain," he chuckled. "Concern ka sa akin no?""Sira!" I giggled. "I'm inviting you kase. Dito ka na kumain."There was a long pause. Paniguradong naguguluhan siya sa biglaan kong pagkasabi. If he'd ask me the same, panigurdong maguguluhan din ako."What's the occassion?" Tanong niya.I sighed. "Gusto kang makilala nina Mommy. Dad told them that I had a date with you kaya ganun nalang sila ka-curious sa'yo."I'm gonna meet your fam
