Chapter 21: Suspicion
WHEN I got home, my mother greeted me immediately. “Are you really serious about the woman your Dad chose for you, son?” she asked me. Seryoso rin ang boses niya.
I know Mom is not in favor of me marrying another woman. Alam kong may napupusuan na rin siya na ibang babae para pakasalan ko pero hindi ko gusto si Deeiana. I treat her like a sister and she is the daughter of my godfather.
“I’m serious about Gotchelle, Mom,” I told her.
“What about Deeiana, Enriquez?” my Mom asked me once again. Tinatawag niya talaga ako sa pangalawang pangalan ko.
“Mom, I told you po na kapatid lang ang turing ko sa kanya. Wala na pong iba at anak po siya ni Ninong Jesh,” sabi ko at nagpakawala lang siya nang buntong-hininga.
Walang salitang namutawi sa bibig niya at basta na laman
