I was helping my lola with the ingredients for the sinigang when she started to ask me all sorts of questions about what happened.
but did you meet...her?
nothing much. same thing people do at funerals...
initial incident
I was looking at an open doorway, filled with unfamiliar faces when a slim-figured woman in her 40s dressed in a black pencil-cut skirt came up to me .
Are you Liza?
yes...
conflict
I'm sylvia...
All my muscles tensed upon hearing her name but i managed to simply raise an eyebrow.My reaction caused a range of emotion to cross the her face before it finally gave way to tears. She knelt in front of me. Everyone makes mistakes, Liza. I nodded, pretending to understand but I wanted to scream at her.
climax
After sylvia left, my dad came out of the room he was in and stood next to me but i couldnt look at him...
i'm glad you came...
You didn't cry?
resolution
No... he managed to apologize to me in the end.
When i finally had the guts to look at his face and ask Why? he just met my gaze and looked away.
The sinigang we cooked would be served later during dinner and I'd reminisce the time when my father was still with us. He'd ask each of us about our day then, he would compliment me on the way I had cooked his favorite dish and I would give him a smile that would never quite show, not even in my eyes
