Alejandro Montalbo
I PUT THE coffee under the table and pulled the chair to sit down in front of Brianna. Hindi mawala ang ngiti sa labi niya nang hawakan ang tasa ng kape. I glanced upstairs after Lucy silently walked out from the conversation.
“I’m sorry if my mother has to bring you here.”
Natawa siya sa sinabi ko.
“I’m glad to see you, Alejandro. Sobrang tagal na nung huli tayong magkita, I don’t even see any reason for us to meet again and regain our connections. But I couldn’t help but feel happy to see you again, married…” She pouted her lips and sighed in relief as she roamed her eyes around. “With a nice house and a beautiful wife. Your mother seems not to like her for me to bring here for a night or more days to stay.”
“I’m sorry.”
“No,” natatawa siyang umiling at agad
