Divinity
“May dapat ba akong ikakagalit hanggang ngayon?” Tanong ko sa kanya. 
Totoo naman, why would I be angry about something that I already forgot years ago?
Umiwas naman siya ng tingin sakin 
“Oh, you're both here” napalingon naman kami dalawa ng dumating si Kyle habang buhat buhat ang pamangkin niya. 
Lumapit naman siya kay dustin. They look…good together. Ako naman yung umiwas ng tingin. 
“Long time no see, Divinity” bati sakin ni Kyle. 
Yeah, long time no see. 
“Mauna na ako sa inyo” paalam niya samin. Nakatitig lang kaming dalawa ni Dustin sa palayong sasakyan nila. 
“Why didn't you come with them?” Parang gusto kong saktan yung sarili ko when i said that out loud. That was supposed to be in my head. Fck!
“We're no longer in a relationship” saad niya sakin. 
Kaya napatitig ako sa kanya. Why am I glad to hear about it?. 
Tumikhim naman ako “kung wala ka ng sasabihin we'll go ahead” 
“Birthday na ni tita diba bukas?” Tanong niya sakin. 
“Hm” I hummed , indicating the answer to his questions.
“Ah, give her my regards,” he said. Tumango naman ako at nagpatuloy na sa paglakad papuntang driver seat. 
Nang makaalis ako. Napasinghap naman ako ng mariin. He still has some effects to you, are you Divinity?
Fck! I'm still screwed! 
“Tata, do you know that guy ba?” Napatingin naman ako kay Destiny sa rear mirror.
“Not really, he's just an acquaintance of tata before in college” lies. Another lies again, Divinity. 
Sino bang niloloko mo? Alam ng lahat kilala mo siya, alam nilang may gusto ka sa kanya. 
Napahigpit yung hawak ko sa manobela at nakatuon lang yung tingin ko sa daan. 
Nang makauwi kami sinalubongan naman kami ni Anastasia ng nakapameywang na postura habang nakatitig ng maigi kay Destiny. 
Si destiny naman nakatago lang sa likuran ko. 
“Destiny Marigold Silverio, Come here!” Pabanta niyang sabi. 
“Tata” pagmamakaawa sakin ni Destiny.
Kibit balikat lang ako sa kanya, mama niya yan. Baka ako pa mapagbuntunan ng galit. 
Lumapit naman si destiny sa kanya at ako naman umupo sa sofa nanonood lang sa kanila. Wow parang teleserye lang. 
Inexplain naman ni Destiny yung nangyari at nakahinga naman maluwag yung kapatid ko. 
“Destiny naman kailan ka natutong mamisikal?” Napahilot naman sa sintido yung kapatid ko.
“Wow, I didn't know Destiny could do that” manghang sabi ni James. 
“Manahimik ka, James! Baka masuntok den kita ng wala sa oras” masamang tingin sa kanya ni Anastasia.
“No wonder saan naman ni Destiny yung ugali” I murmured, enough to hear me say those words.
“Isa kapa!” Singhal sakin ni Anastasia.
Pinaakyat niya naman si Destiny sa kwarto nito, grounded ng five hours. 
Bagsak balikat naman umupo sa tabi ko si Anastasia. 
“So okay lang talaga sa guardian ng bata na nasuntok yung bata?” She asked. 
I shrugged. “i asked them if how would they want to compensate them, pero wag na daw. Tas away bata lang naman yun, there's no need to go that far” 
Hindi naman siya umimik. Silence filled the whole house. 
“You okay” tanong niya sakin. 
Hindi ko alam kung sino ang mas matanda samin siya ba o ako?
“Quite of, I saw him today. He's the guardian of the child nakaalitan ni Destiny. Along with Kyle…i saw them both” i pursed my lips. 
Umayos naman siya ng upo at nakatingin sakin ng maigi “how are you?” 
I chuckled and tumingin sa kanya “im okay, besides I've already forgotten what happened years ago” i said. 
Pero hindi pa rin siya kumbinsido sa sinabi ko but i just let her think what she want to think. 
Mga ilang minuto lumipas. James came back na may dalang junk foods, juice and fruits. 
“Seriously, James. Stop eating unhealthy foods!” singhal sa kanya ni Anastasia. 
“Ngayon palang ako naka junk foods stop being ridiculous, sis” tugon naman ni james sa kanya.
Anastasia just rolled her eyes. 
“Nga pala hows the plan for tomorrow? Bukas na ang birthday ni mommy” sambat ko sa kanilang dalawa. 
“Everything's fine, I've already fixed everything and na contact ko na den yung mga kamag-anak natin” James said. 
I raised my eyebrow “talagang aattend sila? Matter of fact pulutan na naman tayo ng tanong niyan” 
“Tumpak ka jan, sis” sabi ni Anastasia. 
I took one apple on the table at kinain yun. “I'll be out for awhile, maghahanap ako ng gift ni mommy for tomorrow” i said. 
“Mabuti nakahanap na ren ako ng gift para sa kanya nung isang araw pa” Ani ni James.
“Ako ren” Anastasia said. 
Tumayo na ako saking kinauupuan “oh, right. I told Destiny I would fly her around after mommy's birthday. I just hope she would forget about that” 
“You know Destiny is a smart girl, she wouldn’t forget about it” kibit balikat na sabi ni Anastasia sakin.
Huminga naman ako ng malalim. Seriously, she's really like her mother. 
Anyways, how's my company doing? Okay pa kaya ang sekretarya ko? Buhay pa kaya yun? 
Nang makalabas ako ng bahay at nakapasok saking sasakyan. I called my secretary. 
“Hello, this is Ashianna speaking. Who am I talking with?” she asked. 
“Did you seriously forget about my numbers?” I asked in disbelief. 
“Oh, wow boss it's you calling” sarcastic niyang sabi. 
“I just wanna ask if you're okay there and are you still breathing. I would have think you're dead if hadn't answered the phone” 
“Wow, sana iniisip mo yan bago ako iwan ng mga gawain. You're really putting me in hell, oh, I'm in hell already "I heard a loud sigh in another line.
“Tiisin mo nalang babalik na ren naman ako pagkatapos ko rito sa pilipinas and besides, you agreed about it when you ask me to doubled your salary, what's with all the tantrums?” 
“Tsk, so yeah the company's doing good, many investors would like to invest in both enterprises, your beverages and airline company. Also both companies were featured in international news. I can say you're treating the company well, boss. Look at the outcomes!” masayang sabi niya. 
I chuckled “not with the staff and you, we wouldn't reach that far, so thank you” i genuinely said. 
“Nambola ka pa talaga, pero sige na boss andami ko pang sasagutin na tawag at aattendan na mga meetings” she said. 
Hindi na ako kumibo at pinatay na yung tawag.
