I don't know what to do. I wanted to greet her properly pero paano? Ni hindi ko makitaan ng kahit ano ang mga mata n'ya. She's looking at me like I'm some stranger.
The familiarity I'm expecting to feel from her vanished. Akala ko... kahit paano ay mararamdaman ko iyon pero wala, as in wala talaga. Pero bakit nga ba ako nag-e-expect ng ganoon? She called me in a formal way. Miss Castro... she used to call me Gabby.
"Good evening po." I greeted her still. She's Ric's mother, I shouldn't forget that.
"I know it's dinner time but I don't feel like eating a meal. How about you? Anong gusto mong kainin?" Nasa waiter na naghihintay ang kanyang atensyon.
Tipid akong ngumiti at umiling. Bumaling na rin ako sa waiter. "I'd like some pineapple juice, please."
The waiter nodded and silence came
